When should I buy a double pushchair?
Short answer: Buy in time for when you will first use it: for twins or siblings close in age. For newborn essentials, many parents order in the second trimester to allow for delivery and assembly.
- Side-by-side models are often wider, so measure doorways. Tandems are narrower but longer.
- Check which seats can take a carrycot or car seat.
- Check the folded size and weight.
What the guidance says
- Never put twins together in a Moses basket or small cot. Before they can roll, move them into their own cots.
