8 Tips To Improve Your Pushchair Game

Choosing a Double Pushchair Twin (dadiler.com)

You'll require a double stroller to take your twins from one place to B. Our range comprises of twin prams and double buggies that come in a variety of configurations to meet your family's needs.

Choose a stroller that folds with one step and is easy to put into your boot. You might also want an ultra-light design that is easy to navigate and manoeuvre especially if you have busy streets to tackle.

Side-by-Side

These are the most common type of double pushchair, and generally can seat two children in a row. They tend to be a bit wider than single pushchairs, which means they are less agile on the sidewalk and can be a bit difficult to navigate between kerbs with a car seat attached. However, the extra width can mean that they're usually easier to navigate through doorways and are more evenly distributed making them easier to carry around on your back.

Many models can be used as early as birth as twin prams and will take a carrycot, or two car seats. Some can even convert into a single mode with a basket alongside (like the Cybex Venus).

The Bugaboo Donkey 5 is a great illustration of this. In Twin Mode, you can place the rear seat next to the carrycot. This creates a completely enclosed space for twins, and is ideal for newborns. This pram comes with some amazing accessories, like the newborn cocoons that can be positioned either facing toward the forward direction or in any direction (for twin-facing prams). It is not as lightweight as other models, but it's really cleverly designed.

Lightweight

Cybex is known for its nifty pushchairs and the single-to-double isn't an exception. The clever frame can be expanded to take two seats, and you can use it as a twin from birth, thanks to the addition of two infant cocoons (PS59 each) which create enclosed lie-flat spaces for babies. The large shopping basket that is behind the seat allows it to be used in mono mode for one child. It also comes with rear and front suspensions that can handle bumps and uneven surfaces a little more easily. Our reviewers picked this car as their top choice.

Available in a variety of fashionable colors.

Tandem

If you are planning to have twins, you'll require a pushchair that is tandem. This allows the children to sit together and see each one another. These are great for things like visiting the zoo, because the kids will be able to gaze at all the animals together. They are also ideal for parents who wish to monitor both their toddler and their baby at the same time.

Some tandem pushchairs are extremely adaptable, as they can be converted to single mode. This is particularly useful if you're planning to have more than two children (or only your oldest child is no longer a need for a buggy). This means you won't have an empty pushchair travel system that you need to store away and can be expensive.

The Cybex Venus, for example is a model that can be used in mono or double mode. Its frame can expand to accommodate an additional seat. It's not the tiniest pushchair but it has an enormous basket that can be set behind the front seat when in double mode or at the rear when in mono mode. The seats can either be positioned so that they face one other or higher up to observe what each is doing.

Some double tandem pushchairs like the Joolz Geo 3, are equipped to place one on top of the other or side by side. They are sleek and compact frame that makes them easier to maneuver through doorways and aisles of supermarkets, and some models can even be used as a jogging stroller or on rough terrain, thanks to a four-wheel suspension and wide rear wheels.

A tandem pushchair can be used to carry two carrycots, or a car and buggy seat. You can save money by establishing an overall travel system from the beginning and avoiding separate purchases. It is important to remember, however, that tandems are heavier and longer than single pushchairs, and are less stable when as you go over uneven surfaces. These pushchairs also need to be dismantled in order to fit into cars.
