What Is Pushchair And Why Is Everyone Talking About It

Choosing a Double Pushchair Twin

If you have twins, you need a double pushchair to get them from A to B. Our range includes twin prams for sale and buggies that can be configured in a variety of ways to meet your needs.

Look for a triple stroller that can fold in one step and then easily tucked away into your car. You might also want lightweight designs that are 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 usually seats two children side by side. They tend to be larger than single pushchairs. This can make them less agile on paths. It can also be difficult to navigate between kerbs when a car seat is attached. The extra width makes them easier to maneuver through doorways and are more evenly distributed, so it is easier to carry around on your back.

Many models can be used as early as birth as twin prams and take a carrycot, or two car seats. Some can even convert into one mode by adding the basket (like the Cybex Venus).

The Bugaboo Donkey 5 is a excellent example of this. In Twin Mode, you can put the rear seat next to the carrycot. This creates an entirely enclosed twin room and is perfect for babies. The pram shops near me also comes with a number of really cool accessories, such as the newborn cocoons which can be attached to face either way (for twin-facing prams) or facing forwards (for a standard single). It's not as light as some other options, but it's really cleverly constructed.

Lightweight

Cybex is known for its nifty pushchairs and the single-to double is no exception. The clever frame can be expanded to take a second seat and you can use it as a twin from birth with the addition of two newborn cocoons (PS59 each) that create enclosed lie-flat spaces for babies. It is also possible to use it as mono mode with just one child due to a large basket that is placed behind the seat. And it has a rear and front suspensions that can handle bumps and uneven surfaces a little more easily. Our reviewers selected this car as their top choice.

Available in a variety of elegant colors.

Tandem

If you're planning to have twins, you need a pushchair that can allow the children to be seated side by side so that they can see each other. They are perfect for visiting the zoo, as children can observe the animals together. These are also great for parents who need to keep an eye on both their toddler and their baby at the same time.

Some tandem pushchairs offer extreme flexibility since they can be converted back to single mode. This is particularly useful for families with more children than two (or in the event that your child who is the oldest doesn't require a buggy any longer). It means you won't have an empty pushchair that you need to store away, which can be costly.

The Cybex Venus, for example, can be used either in mono or double mode. Its frame can expand to accommodate a second seat. It's not the lightest of pushchairs, but it does come with a large basket for shopping that is placed behind the front seat when in double mode (and in the back of the seat in mono mode). The seats can either be placed in a way that they face each the other or higher to observe what the other is doing.

Other double tandem pushchairs such as the Joolz Geo 3 can seat one on top of the other or side-byside. The sleek, compact frame makes it easy to maneuver through doorways and aisles of supermarkets. Some models can be used on rough terrain, or for a jogging walk thanks to their wide rear wheels and four-wheel suspension.

Another benefit of a tandem pushchair is that it can include two carrycots, or a car seat, and buggy seat. You can save money by establishing a travel system at the beginning and avoiding separate purchases. Remember that tandems are heavier and longer and may appear less stable when you bump into kerbs and going over uneven surfaces. These pushchairs must also be dismantled for fitting into cars.
