A double pushchair can be lifesaving for families with twins or a baby and toddler. Double buggys, also known as twin prams, as they are often referred to, come in a variety of configurations to accommodate all types of families. Some are side-byside, while others have a front and other back for spaces that are narrow. Some are also able to be transformed into single prams once your children outgrow them, which makes them an ideal option for families that are growing.
They are less difficult to steer than tandem twin buggies, because the front wheels can be locked to provide extra stability. There's also more storage behind them.

Folding is simple
If you're considering buying a double pushchair, you'll probably want it to be easy to fold. This will make it easy to move the buggy around, and also to store it in smaller areas.
