Are Pushchair Just As Important As Everyone Says

Choosing a Double Pushchair Twin

You need a double stroller to transport your twins from A to B. Our range includes twin prams as well as buggies that can be set up in various ways to meet your requirements.

Choose a stroller that folds in one step and is easy to put into your car. You might also want lightweight designs that are easy to maneuver and navigate especially when you have busy roads to navigate.

Side-by-Side

This is the most popular double pushchair. It is usually able to accommodate two children side-by-side. They are generally wider than single pushchairs, meaning they may be less nimble on footpaths and can be a little tricky to navigate through the kerbs with a car attached. The extra size makes them easier to maneuver through doors and are more evenly distributed so that it is easier on your back.

They can be used as twin prams travel system from the beginning and a lot of models can be used with a carrycot or two car seats. Some models can be converted to one mode with a basket on the side (like the Cybex Venus).

The Bugaboo Donkey 5 is a great illustration of this. In Twin Mode, you can put the rear seat alongside the carrycot. This creates an entirely enclosed twin pram room and is ideal for infants. The pram also comes with a number of really cool accessories, such as the newborn cocoons that can be put on face either way (for a twin pushchairs-facing pram) or facing inwards (for a standard single). It's not as light as some other options but it is very well thought out.

Lightweight

Cybex is known for its nifty pushchairs and the single-to-double isn't an exception. Its innovative frame expands widthways to accommodate a second seat and can be used it as a twin from birth, thanks to the addition of two newborn cocoons (PS59 each) that create enclosed lie-flat spaces for babies. The large shopping basket that is behind the seat lets it be used in mono mode for a single child. It comes with both front and rear suspensions that allows it to handle bumps and uneven surfaces with ease. Our reviewers chose this car as their top pick.

Available in a variety of elegant colors.

Tandem

If you're planning to have twins, you should consider a pushchair that can allow the children to sit together and look at each one another. These are great for things such as visiting the zoo because the kids will be able to look at all the animals together. They are also ideal for parents who need to watch their toddler and baby at the same time.

Some tandem pushchairs pushchairs are incredibly adaptable, as they can be converted back to single mode. This is especially useful when you're planning to have more than two kids (or just your eldest is no longer a need for a buggy). This will prevent you from having to store a buggy that's empty which can be expensive.

For example the Cybex Venus can be used in double or mono mode and has a clever frame that opens wide to accommodate a second seat. This isn't the heaviest of pushchairs, but it does come with a large shopping basket that is placed behind the front seat when in double mode (and at the back of the seat in mono mode). The seats can be set so that they face each other, or one can be set higher, so that it can look at the other and see what they are doing.

Double tandem pushchairs, like the Joolz Geo 3, are able to seat one above the other or side-by-side. They are sleek and compact pushchair frame that makes them easy to navigate through doorways and aisles of supermarkets, and some models can be used as a jogging stroller on rough terrain due to a four-wheel suspension as well as large rear wheels.

Another benefit of a tandem pushchair is that it can often include two carrycots, or a car seat and buggy seat. You can save money by creating an overall travel system from the beginning and avoiding separate purchases. It is important to remember, however, that tandems can be heavier and longer than single pushchairs and are less stable when bumping up kerbs or going over uneven surfaces. They also require dismantling to fit into cars.
