Tandem (in-line): children sit one behind the other. The whole pram stays the width of a single pram (~60 cm), so it fits through standard doors, shop aisles, and public-transport gates. Downside: the rear child has a restricted forward view and the folded package is long. Our two recommendations are both tandems — the Vista V3 and Gazelle S — because doorways are the everyday reality of Australian shopping centres. Side-by-side: twins share the same view and can interact, and bassinet mode is genuinely better for newborns (no stacked weight). Downside: 65-75 cm wide. The Bugaboo Donkey 5 is the premium pick here, but measure your doorways and footpaths before committing. A pragmatic middle path many twin parents use: a tandem convertible now, and a cheap side-by-side (or two single prams) later if outdoor walks dominate.
The good news for twin parents is that both recommended prams handle two babies from day one. The Vista V3 ships with one bassinet and takes a second unit — either a second bassinet (separate purchase) or a RumbleSeat — so twins ride in two bassinets, bassinet + seat, or bassinet + capsule. The Gazelle S supports two bassinets, two seats, or combinations across 20+ configurations, with the second seat unit at ~$399. If you plan a capsule system, both accept two capsules with the right adapters, giving you the car-to-pram click-in that is especially valuable with two newborns. Realistic twin-mode weight: expect ~20 kg+ loaded, which makes the Gazelle S’s accessible shopping basket and the Vista’s larger underseat basket both useful — test the pram you prefer with two seats attached before buying.

The best twin pram depends on layout: tandem (in-line) convertibles like the UPPAbaby Vista V3 ($1,439+) and Cybex Gazelle S ($990+) carry two children one behind the other with a second seat (~$399) — narrow enough for standard doorways and shopping aisles. Side-by-side prams like the Bugaboo Donkey 5 (~$1,899+) carry twins in matching bassinets/seats side by side but are much wider. For everyday Australian use, the tandem convertibles we stock are the most practical; the Donkey is the premium side-by-side option for twins from birth.
Tandem (in-line) prams — the Vista V3 and Gazelle S we stock — fit through standard doorways and shop aisles, are easier to steer one-handed, and convert back to single use later. Side-by-side prams (Bugaboo Donkey, budget twins) give both children equal forward views and easier interaction, but their width (typically 65-75 cm) limits them to wide doorways and footpaths. Most Australian twin parents choose tandem for practicality; side-by-side suits families who walk outdoors on wide paths.
Twin-capable convertibles: Cybex Gazelle S ($990+) + second seat (~$399) = ~$1,389 total; UPPAbaby Vista V3 ($1,439+) + RumbleSeat (~$399) = ~$1,838 total (bassinet included). Side-by-side: Bugaboo Donkey 5 (~$1,899+ twin config), budget side-by-sides from ~$400-$900. For twins, both our recommended convertibles can run two bassinets or two seats from birth, so no extra newborn purchase is needed beyond the second seat unit.
Yes — both accept two newborns simultaneously. The Vista V3 ships with one bassinet and adds a second bassinet or RumbleSeat as the second unit, so twins can ride in two bassinets from birth. The Gazelle S supports over 20 configurations including two bassinets or two seats. Check the second-unit requirements: the Vista V3's second bassinet is a separate purchase, while the included first bassinet covers one twin. Both prams handle two capsules if you prefer the car-to-pram click-in system.
