What Is Pushchair And Why Is Everyone Talking About It

Choosing a Double Pushchair Twin

You'll need a double stroller to take your twins from A to B. Our range includes twin prams and buggies that are able to be set up in various ways to meet your requirements.

Find a pushchair that folds in a single step and is easy to lift into your car. You might also want a lighter design, especially if you're tackling busy high streets.

Side-by-Side

They are the most commonly used type of double pushchair pram that generally can seat two children in a row. They are generally wider than single cheap pushchairs, meaning they are less agile on the sidewalk and can be a bit difficult to navigate between kerbs when a car seat is attached. The extra width allows them to move more easily through doorways and also more evenly distributed, so it is less burdensome on your back.

They can be used as a twin pram with car seat from the beginning and a lot of models will take both a carrycot or two car seats. Some models can be converted to one mode with a basket to the side (like the Cybex Venus).

The Bugaboo Donkey 5 is a great illustration of this. In Twin Mode, you can fit the rear seat alongside a carrycot. This allows you to create an entirely enclosed twin room and is perfect for babies. This pram stores near me comes with some very cool accessories, such as the newborn cocoons, which can be put on either facing forwards or in any direction (for twin-parent facing pram prams). It's not as light as some other options but it's incredibly well constructed.

Lightweight

Cybex is renowned for its nifty pushchairs and the single-to double is no exception. The clever frame can be expanded to take an additional seat and you can use it as a twin right from birth, thanks to the addition of two infant cocoons (PS59 each) that create enclosed lie-flat spaces for infants. The large shopping basket that is behind the seat allows it to be used in mono mode with just one child. And it has a rear and front suspension to tackle bumps and uneven surfaces a little more easily. 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 the children to be seated close to each other, so they can look at each one another. They are great for trips to the zoo, as children can observe the animals together. They're also ideal for parents who must keep one eye on their toddler and the other on their child because they can see both simultaneously.

Some tandem pushchairs are extremely adaptable, as they can be converted back to single mode. This is particularly beneficial for families with more children than two (or if your eldest child does not require the buggy anymore). This will prevent you from having to store a buggy that's empty which can be costly.

The Cybex Venus, for example can be used in mono or double mode. Its frame expands to accommodate a second seat. This isn't the heaviest of pushchairs, but it does come 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 placed so that they face each other, or one could be placed higher, so that it can be able to look over the other and see what they're up to.

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

A tandem pushchair can be used to carry two carrycots or a car with a buggy seat. This allows you to build a travel system right from the beginning and save money on additional purchases. It's worth remembering that tandems are heavier and longer than single pushchairs and can feel less stable in bumping into kerbs or over uneven surfaces. They also require dismantling to fit into cars.
