Choosing a Double pushchair twin (Hiltingbury-Hants.secure-dbprimary.com)

When you have twins, you'll require a double pushchair to get them from A to B. Our range of twin prams includes twin buggies that can be configured in a variety of ways to meet your requirements.

Choose a stroller that folds in one step and is easy to put into your car. You might also want a lighter design, especially when you're on busy high streets.

Side-by-Side

They are the most popular type of double pushchair and can typically seat 2 children side-by-side. They are generally wider than single pushchairs. This means they're less agile on the sidewalk and can be a bit difficult to navigate between the kerbs with a car attached. The extra width allows them to move more easily through doorways and are more evenly distributed, so it is less burdensome for you to carry them on your back.

They can be used as twin prams from birth, and many models can accommodate a carrycot or 2 car seats. Some models can be converted into one-mode with a basket to the side (like the Cybex Venus).

One of the most impressive examples of this is the Bugaboo Donkey 5 which, in Twin Mode, allows you to put the rear seat and carrycot side-by-side. This creates a fully enclosed twin room and is perfect for newborns. This pram comes with some really cool accessories, like the newborn cocoons that can be attached either facing forwards or in any direction (for twin-facing prams). It's not as light as other options, but it's extremely well-thought out.

Lightweight

Cybex is known for innovation and this pushchair converts to a single is no different. Its clever frame expands widthways to accommodate an additional seat and you can use it as a twin from birth by incorporating the addition of two infant cocoons (PS59 each) that provide enclosed, lie-flat areas for babies. The large basket of shopping behind the seat lets it be used in mono mode for a single child. It comes with both front and rear suspensions that allows it to handle bumps and uneven surfaces better. It is a top pick from our reviewers.

Available in a variety stylish colors.

Tandem

If you're planning to have twins, you'll require a tandem pushchair. This allows the children to sit together and see each other. They are ideal for activities such as visiting the zoo because the kids will be able to look at all the animals together. They are also ideal for parents who wish to watch both their toddler and baby simultaneously.

Some tandem pushchairs offer extreme versatility as they can change back to single mode. This is especially handy if you're planning to have more than two kids (or only your oldest does not require a buggy anymore). This means that you won't have an empty pushchair that you need to store away, which can be costly.

For instance the Cybex Venus can be used in mono or double mode and has a smart frame that expands widthways to allow for an additional seat. It's not the lightest of pushchairs however it does come with a large basket that can be placed behind the front seat when in double mode, or in the back when it's in mono mode. The seats can be placed so that they face each the other or higher to be able to see what the other is doing.

Other double tandem pushchairs like the Joolz Geo 3 can seat one on top of the other or side-byside. The sleek, compact frame makes it easy to maneuver through doorways and aisles of supermarkets. Some models can also be used on rough terrain or as a jogging walk thanks to their wide rear wheels and four-wheel suspension.

A tandem pushchair could also be used to carry two carrycots or a car with a buggy seat. You can save money by creating a travel pram system at the beginning, and avoiding separate purchases. It is important to remember, Pushchair twin however, that tandems are heavier and longer than single pushchairs, and are less stable when in bumping into kerbs or over uneven surfaces. They also tend to need dismantling in order to fit into cars.
