Choosing a Double Pushchair Twin
You'll require a double stroller to transport your twins from A to B. Our selection includes a variety of twin prams as well as double buggies with various configurations to meet your family's requirements.
Find a stroller that can be folded in one step and easily lifted into your boot. You could also opt for a lighter design, especially when you're on busy high streets.
Side-by-Side
These are the most common type of double pushchair, and generally can seat two children in a row. They tend to be a bit wider than single pushchairs, which means they may be less nimble on footpaths and can be a bit difficult to navigate up and down kerbs when a car seat is attached. However, the extra width does mean that they're usually easier to navigate through doors and are distributed more evenly 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 accommodate a carrycot or 2 car seats. Some can even convert into one-mode with an additional basket (like the Cybex Venus).
The Bugaboo Donkey 5 is a perfect example of this. In Twin Mode, you can place the rear seat next to a carrycot. This allows you to create a fully enclosed twin space, which is perfect for babies. This pram also comes with a couple of really neat accessories, including the newborn cocoons which can be put on face either direction (for a twin-facing pram) or facing inwards (for a standard single). It's not as light as some other options but it is really cleverly thought out.
Lightweight
Cybex is renowned for its nifty pushchairs and the single-to double is no exception. The frame can be expanded to accommodate a second seat. It is possible to use the pushchair as twins from birth by putting in two cocoons for babies, each costing PS59. These cocoons create lie-flat areas that are enclosed. It is also possible to use it as an individual mode with only one child, thanks to a large basket that is placed behind the seat. It also has front and rear suspensions to take on bumps and uneven surfaces more easily. Our reviewers selected this car as their top pick.
Available in a variety of fashionable colors.

If you're planning to have twins, you want a pushchair that can allow the children to be seated close to each other, so they can be able to see each one another. They are ideal for activities like visiting the zoo, because the kids can look at all the animals together. They're also ideal for parents who have to keep an eye on their toddler and the other on their baby because they can see both simultaneously.
Some tandem pushchairs are very flexible, as they can be converted back to single mode. This is particularly useful for families with more than two kids (or only your oldest child is no longer a need for a buggy). This will help you avoid having to store a buggy that's empty, which can be expensive.
The Cybex Venus, for example, can be used either in mono or double mode. The frame can be expanded to allow for an additional seat. This isn't the lightest of pushchairs, however it comes with a large shopping basket which is located behind the front seat in double mode (and at the back of the seat when it's mono mode). The seats can be placed to face each other, or one can be positioned higher so that it can see at the other and see what they are doing.
Other double tandem pushchairs, such as the Joolz Geo 3 can seat one on top of the other, or side-by-side. The slim, sleek frame makes it easy to maneuver through doors and aisles of supermarkets. Certain models can be used on uneven terrain or as an exercise walk due to their large rear wheels and four-wheel suspension.
A tandem pushchair can be used to transport two carrycots, or a car and buggy seat. This allows you to create a travel system from the beginning and save money on separate purchases. It's important to keep in mind, however, that tandems are heavier and longer than single pushchairs, and may feel less stable when as you go over uneven surfaces. They also require dismantling in order to fit into cars.
