5 Pushchair Lessons From The Professionals

Choosing a Double Pushchair Twin

You need a double stroller in order to transport your twins from A to B. Our selection includes a variety of twin prams as well as double buggies with various configurations to suit your family requirements.

Find a pushchair that folds with one 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 travel system. It can usually seat two children side by side. They tend to be a bit wider than single pushchairs, meaning they may be less nimble on footpaths and can be a little tricky to navigate through kerbs with a car seat attached. The extra width makes them easier to maneuver 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 babiie pram from birth and many models will take both a carrycot and 2 car seats. Some can even convert into one-mode with the basket (like the Cybex Venus).

One of the most impressive examples of this is the Bugaboo Donkey 5 which, in Twin Mode, allows you to place the rear seat and a carrycot side by side. This allows you to create an enclosed twin room and is perfect for babies. This pram also comes with a couple of really neat accessories, including the newborn cocoons that can be put on face either way (for a twin-facing pram) or facing towards the front (for a standard single). It is not as lightweight like other options however it's very cleverly designed.

Lightweight

Cybex is known for its ingenuity, and this single-to-double foldable pushchair is no different. The frame can be enlarged to accommodate a second seat. You can use the pushchair as a twin from birth by adding two cocoons for babies for a total of PS59. These cocoons create enclosed lie-flat spaces. It is also possible to use it as an individual mode with only one child, thanks to a large basket that sits behind the seat. It also has a rear and front suspension to tackle bumps and uneven surfaces a little more easily. Our reviewers chose this car as their top choice.

Available in a variety of elegant colors.

Tandem

If you're planning to have twins, you want a tandem pushchair that permits children to sit together so that they can see each other. They are ideal for trips to the zoo, as children can look at the animals together. They're also ideal for parents who need to keep one eye on their toddler and the other on their baby, as they can see both of them at the same time.

Some tandem pushchairs are very adaptable, as they can be converted to single mode. This is especially useful if you're planning to have more than two children (or only your oldest child is no longer a need for a buggy). This will save you from having to store an empty buggy which can be expensive.

The Cybex Venus, for example, can be used either in double or mono mode. Its frame can expand to accommodate an additional seat. It's not the lightest of pushchairs, however it comes with a large shopping basket which is located behind the front seat in double mode (and in the back of the seat in mono mode). The seats can either be placed so that they face one 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. The sleek, compact frame makes it easy to maneuver through doorways and aisles in supermarkets. Some models can be used on rough 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. You can save money by creating an overall travel system from the beginning, and avoiding separate purchases. Remember that tandems are heavier and longer, and they may be less stable when you bump into the kerbs or going over uneven surfaces. They also need dismantling in order to fit into cars.
