Whether you're taking twins out for a stroll or have a toddler and a baby at the same stage the double pushchair is a lifesaver in keeping them entertained. Double buggys, or twin prams pushchairs prams, as they are often referred to, come in a variety of configurations to suit all types of families. Some are side-by-side with others having a front and a back to accommodate small spaces. Some can also be transformed into single prams once your kids grow out of them, making them an ideal choice for growing families.

Many twin buggies can be used for travel systems, meaning they have car seats that can be attached to the frame.

They are still easily moveable, but most have an recline that is independent, meaning both children can sit upright or in a snooze-position.

If you're considering buying a double pushchair, you'll likely want it to be easy to fold. This makes it easier for you to transport the buggy from one location to another and will also allow you to store it in a smaller area.

Most twin pushchairs can be folded using just one hand, however it is important to confirm before buying to ensure that the one you purchase can do this. Some of the top models are able to fold down by removing the seat, making them even smaller. This is especially helpful if you have limited storage space.

Another thing to be on the lookout for is whether or not your twin pushchair will be capable of fitting through doors that are standard. The larger width of tandem buggies may be an issue therefore it is important to determine the width of your doors before you buy. There are models that are slimmer and can be used to fit through narrower doorways if this is an issue.
