5 Reasons Pushchair Is Actually A Great Thing

Choosing a Double Pushchair Twin

You'll need a double stroller to transport your twins from A to B. Our range includes a range of twin prams as well as double buggies with 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 a lightweight design, especially when you're on busy high streets.

Side-by-Side

This is the most common double pushchair. It usually seats two children side-by-side. They tend to be a bit wider than single pushchairs. This means they're less agile on the sidewalk and can be a bit difficult to navigate through the kerbs with a car attached. The extra size allows them to move more easily through doors and also more evenly distributed so that it is less burdensome for you to carry them on your back.

They can be used as a twin pram from the beginning and a lot of models can be used with a carrycot and 2 car seats. Some models can be converted to one mode, with a basket beside (like the Cybex Venus).

The Bugaboo Donkey 5 is a perfect example of this. In Twin Mode, you can place the rear seat next to the carrycot. This creates a totally enclosed space for twins, and is perfect for babies. The pram comes with really cool accessories, such as the newborn cocoons, which can be put on either facing towards the front or in any direction (for twin-facing prams). It's not as light as some other options however it's very cleverly designed.

Lightweight

Cybex is known for innovation and this pushchair converts to a single is no exception. The frame can be extended to accommodate another seat. It is possible to use the pushchair as a twin from birth by adding two cocoons for newborns that cost PS59 each. These cocoons create enclosed lie-flat spaces. The large shopping basket that is behind the seat can be used in mono mode for one child. It has both front and rear suspensions, so it can handle bumps and uneven surfaces better. Our reviewers selected this car as their top pick.

Available in a range of stylish colors.

Tandem

If you plan to have twins, you'll require a tandem pushchair. This allows the children to sit together and look at each other. They are perfect for visiting the zoo since the kids can look at the animals together. They are also ideal for parents who want to monitor both their toddler and their baby at the same time.

Some tandem pushchairs offer extreme flexibility as they can convert back to single mode. This is especially useful when you are planning to have more than two children (or if your eldest child doesn't require an extra buggy). This will help you avoid having to store a buggy empty which can be costly.

The Cybex Venus, for example can be used in double or mono mode. Its frame expands to allow for an additional seat. This isn't the heaviest of pushchairs, however it comes with a large basket for shopping that sits behind the front seat in double mode (and behind the seat in mono mode). The seats can either be set up so that they face each opposite or higher up to observe what each is doing.

Other double tandem pushchairs, like the Joolz Geo 3, are capable of seating one over the other or side by side. They feature a sleek, compact stroller frame that makes them easier to navigate through doorways and aisles of supermarkets and some models can be used as a jogging foldable stroller on rough terrain due to a four-wheel suspension and wide rear wheels.

Another benefit of a tandem pushchair is that it can often include two carrycots, or a car seat and buggy seat. This means you can create a travel system from the outset and save money on additional purchases. Keep in mind that tandems are more heavy and longer and may appear less stable when bumping up the kerbs or going over uneven surfaces. They also have to be dismantled in order to fit into cars.
