The Unknown Benefits Of Pushchair

Choosing a Double Pushchair Twin

If you have twins you need a double pushchair to take them from A to B. Our range includes twin prams as well as buggies that are able to be set up in different ways to suit your requirements.

Look for a stroller that can fold in one step and then easily tucked away into your car. You may also prefer lightweight designs that are easy to maneuver and navigate, particularly if you have busy streets to tackle.

Side-by-Side

This is the most popular double pushchair. It can usually seat two children side-by-side. They are generally wider than single pushchairs, meaning they may be less nimble on footpaths and can be a little tricky to navigate through kerbs with a car seat attached. However the extra width does mean that they're often a lot more comfortable to maneuver through doorways and are more evenly distributed making them easier to carry around on your back.

Many models can be used from birth as twin prams pushchairs prams pushchairs and take a carrycot, or two car seats. Some can even convert into one mode by adding a basket alongside (like the Cybex Venus).

The Bugaboo Donkey 5 is a great example 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 perfect for babies. This pram also comes with a number of really cool accessories, such as the newborn cocoons which can be positioned to face either direction (for a twin-facing pram) or facing forwards (for a standard single). It's not as light as some other options but it's incredibly well created.

Lightweight

Cybex is known for its nifty pushchairs and the single-to-double isn't an exception. The frame can be enlarged to accommodate a second seat. It is possible to use the pushchair as twins from birth by putting in two cocoons for newborns that cost PS59 each. These cocoons create enclosed lie-flat spaces. The large basket of shopping behind the seat allows it to be used in mono mode with just one child. It also has front and rear suspension to tackle bumps and uneven surfaces a little more easily. The top choice among our reviewers.

Available in a variety fashionable colors.

Tandem

If you're planning to have twins, you should consider a pushchair that can allow children to sit close to each other and be able to see each one another. They are perfect for visiting the zoo, as children can look at the animals together. They are also great for parents who must keep one eye on their toddler and the other eye on their infant since they can look at both of them at the same time.

Some tandem pushchairs offer extreme versatility as they can change back to single mode. This is particularly useful when you are planning to have more children than two (or when your oldest child does not require a buggy any longer). This means that you won't be left with an empty pushchair that you need to store away and can be expensive.

For example the Cybex Venus can be used in double or mono mode, and features a clever frame that opens wide to accommodate a second seat. It's not the lightest of pushchairs however it does come with an enormous basket that can be set behind the front seat in double mode, or in the back when it's in mono mode. The seats can either be set up so that they face one the other or higher to see what each is doing.

Some double tandem pushchairs such as the Joolz Geo 3, are equipped to place one on top of the other or side by side. The compact, sleek frame makes it easier to maneuver through doors and aisles of supermarkets. Some models can be used on uneven terrain, or for a jogging path due to their wide rear wheels and four-wheel suspension.

Another benefit of a tandem pushchair is that it will often use two carrycots or a car seat and a buggy seat. This allows you to create a travel system from the outset and save money on additional purchases. Keep in mind that tandems are more heavy and longer, and can appear less stable when you bump into the kerbs or going over uneven surfaces. These pushchairs also need to be dismantled to fit in cars.
