How Pushchair Transformed My Life For The Better

Choosing a Double Pushchair Twin

When you have twins, you need a double pushchair pram in order to get them from A to B. Our range comprises of twin prams as well as double buggies with various configurations to meet your family's requirements.

Look for a pushchair that folds in a single step and is easy to carry into your boot. You may also want lightweight designs that are easy to maneuver and navigate especially when you have busy streets to navigate.

Side-by-Side

This is the most popular double pushchair. It is usually able to accommodate two children side-by-side. They are usually wider than single pushchairs. This makes them less agile on paths. It may also be difficult to maneuver through kerbs with an automobile seat is installed. However the extra width can mean that they're generally more comfortable to maneuver through doorways and are more evenly distributed making them more comfortable to carry on your back.

Many models can be used as early as birth as twin prams, and can take a carrycot, or two car seats. Some can even be converted to 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 put the rear seat next to the carrycot. This lets you create an enclosed twin room and is perfect for babies. This pram also comes with a number of really cool accessories, including newborn cocoons, which can be attached to face either way (for twin-facing prams) or facing inwards (for a standard single). It is not as lightweight as some other options however it's very cleverly constructed.

Lightweight

Cybex is renowned for its nifty pushchairs and the single-to-double is no exception. The frame can be expanded to accommodate a second seat. You can use the pushchair as twins from birth by putting in two cocoons for newborns for a total of PS59. These cocoons are enclosed and create lie-flat spaces. It can also be used as a mono mode with one child thanks to a large shopping basket that sits behind the seat. It comes with front and rear suspension which means it can take on bumps and uneven surfaces better. A top pick from our reviewers.

Available in a variety of fashionable colors.

Tandem

If you're planning to have twins, you should consider a tandem pushchair that allows children to sit together, so they can look at each other. They are ideal for trips to the zoo since the kids can look at the animals together. They are also great for parents who must keep an eye on their toddler and the other eye on their infant because they can see both of them simultaneously.

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 children than two (or if your eldest child doesn't require an extra buggy). This means that you won't have an empty pushchair to store away which can be expensive.

The Cybex Venus, for example, can be used either in mono or double mode. The frame can be expanded to accommodate an additional seat. This isn't the lightest of pushchairs, however it comes with a large shopping basket that sits behind the front seat when in double mode (and at the back of the seat when it's mono mode). The seats can be positioned so that they face one other or higher up to be able to see what each is doing.

Other double tandem pushchairs, such as the Joolz Geo 3 can seat one on top of the other or side-byside. They have a sleek, compact travel stroller frame that makes it easier to maneuver through doorways and aisles in supermarkets, and some models can be used as a jogging stroller on rough terrain due to a four-wheel suspension and large rear wheels.

Another advantage of a tandem pushchair is that it can use two carrycots or a car seat and buggy seat. You can save money by establishing an entire travel system from the beginning and not making separate purchases. Keep in mind that tandems are more heavy and longer, and they may feel less stable when bumping up kerbs or navigating uneven surfaces. They also tend to need dismantling to fit into cars.
