A Look At The Good And Bad About Pushchair

Choosing a Double Pushchair Twin

You'll need a double stroller to transport your twins from A to B. Our range comprises of twin prams as well as double buggies in various configurations to meet your family's needs.

Choose a stroller that folds in a single step and is easy to lift into your boot. You may also prefer an ultra-lightweight design, particularly in high traffic streets.

Side-by-Side

This is the most common double pushchair. It usually seats two children side-by-side. They are generally wider than single pushchairs. This means they're less agile on the footpaths and may be a bit difficult to navigate through the kerbs with a car attached. The extra width allows them to move more easily through doorways and are more evenly distributed so that it is easier 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 convert into a single mode with the basket (like the Cybex Venus).

The Bugaboo Donkey 5 is a great example of this. In twin pushchair Mode, you can fit the rear seat next to a carrycot. This creates a totally enclosed space for twins, and is perfect for infants. The pram also comes with a number of very cool accessories, including newborn cocoons that can be positioned to face either direction (for a twin-facing pram) or facing towards the front (for a standard single). It's not as lightweight as other options but it is extremely well-thought out.

Lightweight

Cybex is known for innovation, and this single-to-double pushchair with car seat is no exception. The frame can be expanded to accommodate another seat. You can use the pushchair as a twin stroller from birth by adding two newborn cocoons, each costing PS59. These cocoons create enclosed lie-flat spaces. The large basket of shopping behind the seat allows it to be used in mono mode for one child. It comes with front and rear suspensions that allows it to handle bumps and uneven surfaces more easily. Our reviewers picked this car as their top pick.

Available in a variety elegant colors.

Tandem

If you plan to have twins you will require a pushchair that is tandem. This will allow both children to sit together and interact with each one another. They are great for trips to the zoo, as children can observe the animals together. They're also perfect for parents who have to keep one eye on their toddler and the other on their child because they can see both of them simultaneously.

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

For instance for instance, the Cybex Venus can be used in both mono and double mode and has a smart frame that can be expanded to accommodate a second seat. It's not the lightest of pushchairs, however it comes with a large shopping basket that sits behind the front seat in double mode (and at the back of the seat in mono mode). The seats can be placed so that they face one the other or higher to be able to see what the other is doing.

Other double tandem pushchairs, like 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 in supermarkets. Certain models can be used on uneven terrain, or for an exercise walk due to their large rear wheels and four-wheel suspension.

A tandem pushchair can also be used to transport two carrycots, or a car and buggy seat. This allows you to build a travel strollers system from the beginning and save money on additional purchases. It's worth remembering, however, that tandems can be heavier and longer than single pushchairs and are less stable when in bumping into kerbs or over uneven surfaces. They also have to be dismantled for fitting into cars.
