7 Effective Tips To Make The Most Of Your Pushchair

Choosing a Double Pushchair Twin

You'll require a double stroller to transport your twins from A to B. Our range comprises of twin prams as well as double buggies with various configurations to meet your family's needs.

Find a baby stroller that can be folded in just one step and easily lifted into your car. You might also want an ultra-lightweight design, particularly when you're on busy high streets.

Side-by-Side

This is the most popular double pushchair. It is usually able to accommodate two children side by side. They tend to be wider than single pushchairs, meaning they're less agile on footpaths and can be a bit difficult to navigate between kerbs with a car seat attached. The extra size makes them easier to maneuver through doorways and are more evenly distributed so that it is less burdensome 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 be converted to one mode by adding a basket alongside (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 entirely enclosed twin space and is perfect for babies. The pram is also equipped with a couple of very cool accessories, including newborn cocoons that can be put on face either way (for a twin-parent facing pushchair pram pushchair) or facing towards the front (for a standard single). It's not as light as some other options, but it's really cleverly created.

Lightweight

Cybex is known for its ingenuity, and this single-to-double folding pushchair is no exception. Its innovative frame expands widthways to take two seats, and you can use it as a twin right from birth by incorporating the addition of two newborn cocoons (PS59 each) which provide enclosed, lie-flat areas for babies. It is also possible to use it as an individual mode with only one child thanks to a large basket that is placed behind the seat. It comes with both front and rear suspension which means it can take on bumps and uneven surfaces with ease. The top choice from our reviewers.

Available in a variety fashionable colors.

Tandem

If you plan to have twins, you'll require a pushchair that is tandem. This allows each child to sit and interact with each one another. They are perfect for visiting the zoo since the kids can watch the animals together. They are also great for parents who need to keep an eye on their toddler and the other on their child because they can see both simultaneously.

Some tandem pushchairs are very adaptable, as they can be converted back to single mode. This is especially useful if you plan to have more than two children (or when your oldest child doesn't require a buggy any longer). This will help you avoid having to store an empty buggy which can be costly.

For example the Cybex Venus can be used in mono or double mode and has a clever frame that expands widthways to allow for an additional seat. It's not the lightest of pushchairs but it has an ample basket that can be placed behind the front seat in double mode or at the back if in mono mode. The seats can be positioned to face each other or one can be set higher so that it can be able to look over the other and see what they are doing.

Some double tandem pushchairs like the Joolz Geo 3, are equipped to place one on top of the other or side-by-side. They are sleek and compact frame that makes them easy to maneuver through doors and supermarket aisles, and some models can also be used as a jogging or stroller on rough terrain thanks to a four-wheel suspension and wide rear wheels.

A tandem pushchair can be used to transport two carrycots or a car with a buggy seat. You can save money by creating an entire travel system from the beginning, and avoiding separate purchases. It is important to remember, however, that tandems are heavier and longer than single pushchairs, and are less stable when in bumping into kerbs or over uneven surfaces. They also have to be dismantled in order to fit into cars.
