Choosing a Double
pushchair with car seat Twin
When you have twins, you'll require a double pushchair to get them from A to B. Our range comprises of twin prams and
Twin Pram double buggies with various configurations to meet your family's requirements.
Choose a stroller that folds in a single step and is easy to lift into your boot. You may also prefer a lightweight design that's easy to maneuver and navigate especially when you have busy high streets to tackle.
Side-by-Side
These are the most common type of double pushchair that generally can seat two children side-by-side. They tend to be larger than single pushchairs. This can make them less able to maneuver on paths. It may also be difficult to move through kerbs with the car seat is in place. However, the extra width does mean that they're usually easier to navigate through doors and are more evenly distributed making them more comfortable to carry around on your back.
They can be used as a
twin pram from the beginning and a lot of models can be used with a carrycot or two car seats. Some can even be converted to a single mode with an additional basket (like the Cybex Venus).
The Bugaboo Donkey 5 is a excellent example of this. In Twin Mode, you can fit the rear seat alongside the carrycot. This allows you to create an entirely enclosed twin room and is perfect for newborns. This
pram pushchair comes with some very cool accessories, including the newborn cocoons, which can be put on either facing forwards or
Twin Pram in any direction (for twin-facing prams). It's not as lightweight as other models, but it's really cleverly created.
Lightweight
Cybex is a brand known for its innovation, and this single-to-double pushchair is no different. The frame can be enlarged to accommodate another seat. You can use the pushchair as twins from birth by adding two cocoons for babies, each costing PS59. These cocoons are enclosed and create lie-flat spaces. It can also be used as mono mode with just one child, thanks to a large basket that sits behind the seat. It comes with front and rear suspension, so it can handle bumps and uneven surfaces better. A top pick from our reviewers.
Available in a variety of stylish colors.
Tandem
If you plan to have twins, you'll need a tandem pushchair. This will allow each child to sit and interact with each one another. They are ideal for activities such as visiting the zoo as the children will be able to gaze at all the animals together. These are also great for parents who want to monitor their toddler and baby at the same time.
Some tandem pushchairs are very flexible, as they can be converted back to single mode. This is especially useful for families with more than two children (or only your oldest child doesn't need a buggy anymore). This means that you won't have an empty pushchair that you need to store away, which can be costly.
For example for instance, the Cybex Venus can be used in both mono and double mode, and features a clever frame that expands widthways to accommodate a second seat. This isn't the heaviest of pushchairs, but it offers a large shopping basket that sits behind the front seat in double mode (and at the back of the seat when it's mono mode). The seats can be positioned to face each other, or one can be set higher up so it can look over the other and observe what they're up to.
Other double tandem pushchairs such as the Joolz Geo 3 can seat one on top of the other or side-byside. They are sleek and compact frame that makes them easier to navigate through doorways and aisles in supermarkets Some models can also be used as a jogging stroller or on rough terrain due to a four-wheel suspension as well as large rear wheels.
A tandem pushchair could also be used to transport two carrycots or a car with a buggy seat. This means you can create an entire travel system from the beginning and save money on additional purchases. Keep in mind that tandems are more heavy and longer, and can be less stable when bumping into kerbs and going over uneven surfaces. They also have to be dismantled for fitting into cars.
