Things to consider when choosing a double pram

Age of the children

Double prams for new-born twins will recline flat and/or come with a carry cot. A double buggy for older babies will only have one or two back positions. 

Terrain

Some twin pushchairs will navigate beautifully on country paths but feel heavy and hard to handle in city centre shops. Twin baby prams are an investment so not many new parents can afford to buy more than one. Make your decision based on where you will use your twin pram the most. 

Your house

Do you have the space for storage? Double prams from birth can take up A LOT of room in your home. 

Your car

Boot space, car seats and how often you use your car all need consideration. A twin baby pushchair that would be easy to transport is possible, they are available if you do your research. 

Budget and value

Twin prams for new-borns can cost anywhere from £99 – £2500. The range is huge and ‘building’ a travel system is complicated. Start shopping early so you have time to suss it all out. 

Features to look for in a double pushchair

Carry cots

A twin carrycot pram is the best option for new babies as they are cosy and flat.

Be aware that double pram from birth often doesn’t come with the carry cot included. 

Travel system with car seat

The makers of travel systems for twins suitable from birth will offer the chance to buy adaptors for a range of car seats. Twin pushchairs from birth with car seat included are rare so keep that in mind when working out the total price. 

Wheels

A baby born twin pram needs swivel wheels at the front and bigger fixed wheel at the back, those are essentials. Size and material choice will depend on the terrain. 

Weight

The best pram for new-born twins is one which can be lifted into cars, onto buses and up kerbs without a struggle. 

Twin buggies for new-born and toddler ages will be lighter than travel systems. 

Comfort

Twin buggies from birth need to be soft, padded and suitable for the age of the babies.

A new-born twin pram should have a baby nest, rain cover and sunshade. 

Forward or parent facing

A parent facing double pushchair offers maximum comfort and reassurance for you and baby. Some side by side twin pram systems have useful, easily reversible seats.
