5 Pushchair Lessons From The Professionals

Choosing a Double Pushchair Twin

You'll need a double stroller in order to take your twins from one place to B. Our range comprises of twin prams and double buggies in various configurations to suit your family needs.

Choose a stroller which can be folded in just one step and easily lifted into your car. You may also want a lightweight design that's easy to navigate and manoeuvre especially if you have busy high streets to traverse.

Side-by-Side

They are the most commonly used type of double pushchair and can typically seat 2 children in a row. They are generally wider than single pushchairs, which means they are less agile on the sidewalk and can be a little tricky to navigate up and down kerbs with a car seat attached. However the extra width means that they're usually more comfortable to maneuver through doorways and are distributed more evenly making them more comfortable to carry on your back.

Many models can be used from birth as twin prams, and can accommodate a carrycot or two car seats. Some models can be converted to one mode with a basket to the side (like the Cybex Venus).

One of the best prams examples of this is the Bugaboo Donkey 5 which, in Twin Mode, allows you to fit the rear seat and carrycot side-by-side. This allows you to create a fully enclosed twin room and is perfect for babies. The pram sale comes with very cool accessories, including the newborn cocoons that can be positioned either facing toward the forward direction or in any direction (for twin-facing sale prams). It's not as light as other models however it's very cleverly created.

Lightweight

Cybex is a brand known pram for newborn its innovation, and this single-to-double pushchair is no exception. The frame can be expanded to accommodate another seat. It is possible to use the pushchair as twins from birth by adding two newborn cocoons that cost PS59 each. These cocoons create lie-flat areas that are enclosed. The large basket of shopping behind the seat allows it to be used in mono mode for one child. And it has front and rear suspension to tackle bumps and uneven surfaces more easily. A top pick among our reviewers.

Available in a variety of fashionable colors.

Tandem

If you're planning to have twins, you need a pushchair that can allow the children to be seated together, so they can look at each one another. They are ideal for activities like going to the zoo since the children will be able to look at all the animals together. They're also perfect for parents who need to keep an eye on their toddler and the other on their baby because they can see both of them at the same time.

Some tandem pushchairs offer extreme flexibility since they can be converted back to single mode. This is particularly beneficial if you plan to have more than two children (or when your oldest child isn't a need for the buggy anymore). This will prevent you from having to store an empty buggy, which can be expensive.

For example for instance, the Cybex Venus can be used in both mono and double mode and has a smart frame that opens wide to accommodate a second seat. This isn't the lightest of pushchairs, but it does come with a large shopping basket which is located behind the front seat when in double mode (and behind the seat when it's mono mode). The seats can be set to face each other, or one can be set higher, so that it can look over the other and observe what they're doing.

Double tandem pushchairs, like the Joolz Geo 3, are equipped to place one on top of the other or side-by-side. The compact, sleek frame makes it easier to maneuver through doorways and aisles of supermarkets. Some models can also be used on uneven terrain or for a jogging walk thanks to their large rear wheels and four-wheel suspension.

Another benefit of a tandem pushchair is that it can often take two carrycots, or a car seat, and buggy seat. This allows you to create a travel system from the beginning and save money on separate purchases. It's worth remembering, however, that tandems can be heavier and longer than single pushchairs, and can feel less stable in bumping into kerbs or over uneven surfaces. They also tend to need dismantling to fit into cars.
