Why All The Fuss About Pushchair

Choosing a Double Pushchair Twin

If you have twins, you'll need a double pushchair to get them from A to B. Our range includes twin prams as well as buggies that are able to be set up in a variety of ways to meet your requirements.

Look for a stroller travel that can fold in one step, and easily put into your boot. You may also prefer a lightweight design that's easy to navigate and manoeuvre, particularly if you have busy high streets to navigate.

Side-by-Side

This is the most commonly used double pushchair. It is usually able to accommodate two children side by side. They tend to be wider than single pushchairs. This makes them less able to maneuver on footpaths. It is also difficult to maneuver up and down kerbs when the car seat is in place. However the extra width does mean that they're generally more comfortable to maneuver through doorways and are more evenly distributed making them less burdensome on your back.

Many models are able to be used as twin prams and will take a carrycot, or two car seats. Some models can be converted to one-mode, with a basket beside (like the Cybex Venus).

One of the most impressive examples of this is the Bugaboo Donkey 5 which, in Twin Mode, allows you to place the rear seat and carrycot side by side. This creates a fully enclosed twin space, which is perfect for newborns. This pram also comes with a couple of very cool accessories, including the newborn cocoons that can be put on face either way (for twin-facing good prams) or facing inwards (for a standard single). It's not as light as other options, but it's really cleverly thought out.

Lightweight

Cybex is a brand known for its innovation and this pushchair converts to a single is no different. The frame can be extended to accommodate a second seat. It is possible to use the pushchair as a twin from birth by putting in two cocoons for newborns for a total of PS59. These cocoons create enclosed lie-flat spaces. It is also possible to use it as mono mode with just one child due to a large shopping basket that sits behind the seat. It has both front and rear suspensions that allows it to handle bumps and uneven surfaces more easily. It is a top pick from our reviewers.

Available in a variety of elegant colors.

Tandem

If you're planning to have twins, you want a tandem pushchair that permits children to sit close to each other so that they can be able to see each other. They are ideal for activities such as visiting the zoo since the children will be able to gaze at all the animals together. They are also ideal for parents who wish to watch both their toddler and baby simultaneously.

Some tandem pushchairs prams pushchairs provide ultra flexibility as they can convert back to single mode. This is especially handy if you're planning to have more than two kids (or only your oldest child does not require a buggy anymore). This means that you won't be left with an empty pushchair that you need to store away, which can be costly.

The Cybex Venus, for example is a model that can be used in double or mono mode. The frame can be expanded to accommodate a second seat. This isn't the lightest of pushchairs travel systems, but it offers a large basket for shopping that is placed behind the front seat when in double mode (and behind the seat when it's mono mode). The seats can be placed to face each other, or one can be set higher, so that it can see over the other and see what they're up to.

Other double tandem pushchairs like the Joolz Geo 3 can seat one on top of the other or side-by-side. They feature a sleek, compact frame that makes them easier to maneuver through doors and aisles of supermarkets and some models can be used as a jogging stroller on rough terrain due to a four-wheel suspension as well as wide rear wheels.

A tandem pushchair can also be used to carry two carrycots or a car and buggy seat. You can save money by establishing a best travel stroller system at the beginning and not making separate purchases. It's important to keep in mind that tandems are heavier and longer than single pushchairs, and are less stable when as you go over uneven surfaces. These pushchairs must also be dismantled for fitting into cars.
