15 Pushchair Benefits Everyone Must Know

Choosing a Double Pushchair Twin

You need a double stroller to transport your twins from A to B. Our range comprises of twin cheap prams and double buggies with various configurations to suit your family requirements.

Look for a pushchair cheap that folds with one step and is easy to lift into your boot. You may also prefer an ultra-light design that is easy to navigate and manoeuvre especially if you have busy high streets to traverse.

Side-by-Side

These are the most common type of double pushchair, and can typically seat 2 children in a row. They tend to be wider than single pushchairs, which means they are less agile on the footpaths and may be a little tricky to navigate between kerbs when a car seat is attached. The extra size 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 from the beginning and a lot of models will take both a carrycot or two car seats. Some can even be converted to one mode by adding an additional basket (like the Cybex Venus).

One of the best travel pram examples of this is the Bugaboo Donkey 5 which, in Twin Mode, allows you to put the rear seat and carrycot side by side. This creates a fully enclosed space for twins, and is ideal for newborns. The pram pushchair comes with very cool accessories, like the newborn cocoons that can be positioned either facing towards the front or in any direction (for twin-facing prams). It's not as light like other options however it's very cleverly created.

Lightweight

Cybex is known for its nifty pushchairs and the single-to-double is no exception. The frame can be extended to accommodate an additional seat. You can use the pushchair as a twin from birth by putting in two cocoons for newborns for a total of PS59. These cocoons create lie-flat areas that are enclosed. The large shopping basket that is behind the seat allows it to be used in mono mode with just one child. It has both front and rear suspension, so it can handle bumps and uneven surfaces with ease. Our reviewers picked this car as their top pick.

Available in a variety elegant 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 that they can look at each one another. They are great for trips to the zoo since the kids can look at the animals together. They're also ideal for parents who need to keep an eye on their toddler and the other eye on their infant, as they can see both of them at the same time.

Some tandem pushchairs offer ultra versatility as they can change back to single mode. This is especially useful for families with more children than two (or in the event that your child who is the oldest does not require a buggy any longer). This will prevent you from having to store a buggy empty which can be expensive.

For example the Cybex Venus can be used in mono or double mode and has a clever frame that can be expanded to allow for an additional seat. It's not the tiniest pushchair, but it has a large basket that can be placed behind the front seat when in double mode, or at the back if in mono mode. The seats can be set so that they face each other, or one can be positioned higher so that it can look over the other and observe what they're doing.

Other double tandem pushchairs like the Joolz Geo 3 can seat one on top of the other, or side-by-side. The slim, sleek frame makes it easy to maneuver through doors and aisles of supermarkets. Some models can be used on rough terrain or for a jogging path due to their large rear wheels and four-wheel suspension.

Another benefit of a tandem pushchair is that it will often include two carrycots, or a car seat, and a buggy seat. This means you can create an entire travel system from the beginning and save money on additional purchases. Be aware that tandems are heavier and longer, and they may be less stable when bumping into kerbs and going over uneven surfaces. These pushchairs also need to be dismantled in order to fit into cars.
