Choose a triple stroller that folds in a single step and is easy to put into your car. You may also prefer an ultra-light design that is easy to navigate and manoeuvre especially if you have busy high streets to traverse.

Side-by-Side

This is the most popular double pushchair. It usually seats two children side-by-side. They tend to be bigger than single pushchairs. This can make them less maneuverable on paths. It can also be difficult to move between kerbs when a car seat is attached. The extra size makes them easier to maneuver through doors and also more evenly distributed so that it is less burdensome on your back.

They can be used as a twin pram from the beginning and a lot of models can accommodate a carrycot and 2 car seats. Some can even be converted to one mode by adding a basket alongside (like the Cybex Venus).

The Bugaboo Donkey 5 is a excellent illustration of this. In Twin Mode, you can place the rear seat next to a carrycot. This creates a completely enclosed space for twins and is perfect for babies. This pram is also equipped with a couple of really cool accessories, such as the newborn cocoons, which can be positioned to the front or back (for twin-facing prams) or pram uk facing forwards (for a normal single). It's not as lightweight like other options, but it's really cleverly created.

Lightweight

Cybex is known for its innovative pushchairs, and the single-to-double isn't an exception. The frame can be enlarged to accommodate a second seat. It is possible to use the pushchair as a twin from birth by adding two newborn cocoons for a total of PS59. These cocoons are enclosed and create lie-flat spaces. It can also be used in an individual mode with only one child due to a large basket that sits behind the seat. And it comes with rear and front suspension to tackle bumps and uneven surfaces a little more easily. A top prams pick from our reviewers.

Available in a variety of elegant colors.

Tandem

If you're planning to have twins, you need a tandem pushchair that allows the children to be seated side by side, so they can look at each one another. They are ideal for activities such as visiting the zoo as the children can look at all the animals together. These are also great for parents who wish to keep an eye on both their toddler and their baby at the same time.

Some tandem pushchairs offer ultra versatility as they can change back to single mode. This is particularly useful when you are planning to have more children than two (or if your eldest child isn't a need for the buggy anymore). This means that you won't have an empty pushchair to put away which can be expensive.

For instance, the Cybex Venus can be used in double or mono mode, and features a clever frame that opens wide to accommodate a second seat. It's not the tiniest pushchair however it does come with an enormous basket that can be set behind the front seat in double mode or in the back when it's in mono mode. The seats can be placed to face each other, or one can be set higher, so that it can look at the other and see what they're doing.

Some double tandem pushchairs like the Joolz Geo 3 in 1 pram, are capable of seating one over the other or side-by-side. The sleek, compact frame makes it easy to maneuver through doors and aisles of supermarkets. Certain models can be used on uneven terrain or as a jogging walk thanks to their large rear wheels and four-wheel suspension.

Another advantage of a tandem pushchair is that it will often use two carrycots or a car seat and a buggy seat. You can save money by establishing an entire travel system from the beginning, and avoiding separate purchases. Keep in mind that tandems are more heavy and longer, and they may appear less stable when bumping up kerbs or navigating uneven surfaces. They also require dismantling to fit into cars.
