Whether you're taking twins out for a stroll or have a toddler and a baby at the same age, a double pushchair is a lifesaver in keeping them happy. Double buggys, or twin prams, as they are sometimes called, come in a variety of configurations to accommodate all types of families. Some are side-by-side, while others feature a single front and the back to accommodate narrow spaces. Some can be converted to single prams once your children outgrow them. This is a great choice for families that are growing.

They're less likely to have carrycots for babies, and are typically larger than single buggies. They're still maneuverable, however many come with an independent seat recline, so both kids can sit up straight or be in a snooze-position.

Easy to fold

If you're buying a double pushchair, you'll probably need it to fold.
