You re About To Expand Your Pushchair Options

Choosing a Double Pushchair Twin

When you have twins, you'll need a double pushchair cheap to get them from A to B. Our range includes a range of twin prams and double buggies that come in a variety of configurations to meet your family's requirements.

Find a pushchair that folds in a single step and is easy to put into your car. You may also prefer a lightweight design that's easy to navigate and manoeuvre especially when you have busy streets to tackle.

Side-by-Side

These are the most common type of double pushchair, and can typically seat 2 children in a row. They're generally bigger than single pushchairs. This makes them less maneuverable on the footpaths. It can also be difficult to navigate up and down kerbs when the car seat is in place. The extra size allows them to move more easily through doorways, and they are more evenly distributed so that it is less burdensome on your back.

They can be used as a twin pram from birth, and many models can accommodate a carrycot or two car seats. Some models can be converted into a single mode with a basket to the side (like the Cybex Venus).

One of the most excellent examples of this is the Bugaboo Donkey 5 which, in Twin Mode, allows you to fit the rear seat and a carrycot side by side. This lets you create an enclosed twin space, which is ideal for infants. The pram is also equipped with a couple of really cool accessories, including the newborn cocoons, which can be positioned to face either direction (for twin-facing prams) or facing towards the front (for a normal single). It's not as light as some other options but it is really cleverly thought out.

Lightweight

Cybex is a brand known for its innovation, and this single-to-double pushchair is no exception. Its innovative frame expands widthways to take an additional seat and you can use it as a twin pushchair right from birth with the addition of two infant cocoons (PS59 each) that provide enclosed, lie-flat areas for babies. The large shopping basket that is behind the seat can be used in mono mode for a single child. It has both front and rear suspension that allows it to handle bumps and uneven surfaces more easily. The top choice from our reviewers.

Available in a variety elegant colors.

Tandem

If you plan to have twins you will require a tandem pushchair. This allows the children to sit together and interact with each one another. They are perfect for visiting the zoo as the children can observe the animals together. They're also perfect for parents who have to keep an eye on their toddler and the other on their baby, as they can see both of them at the same time.

Some tandem pushchairs provide ultra versatility as they can change back to single mode. This is particularly beneficial when you are planning to have more than two children (or if your eldest child isn't a need for an extra buggy). This means that you won't be left with an empty pushchair to put away which can be expensive.

The Cybex Venus, for example can be used in mono or double mode. Its frame expands to accommodate an additional seat. It's not the tiniest pushchair however it does come with a large basket that can be set behind the front seat when in double mode or at the rear when in mono mode. The seats can be placed to face each other, or one can be set higher up so it can look at the other and see what they're doing.

Double tandem pushchairs, such as the Joolz Geo 3, are able to seat one above the other or side-by-side. They have a sleek, compact frame that makes them easier to navigate through doorways and aisles in supermarkets, and some models can even be used as a jogging stroller on rough terrain due to a four-wheel suspension and large rear wheels.

A tandem pushchair can also be used to carry two carrycots or a car with a buggy seat. You can save money by creating an overall travel system from the beginning and avoiding separate purchases. It's important to keep in mind that tandems are heavier and longer than single pushchairs, and are less stable when bumping up kerbs or going over uneven surfaces. They also have to be dismantled to fit in cars.
