It s Time To Expand Your Pushchair Options

Choosing a Double Pushchair Twin

When you have twins, you need a double pushchair to take them from A to B. Our range includes twin prams and buggies that can be configured in various ways to meet your requirements.

Look for a pushchair sale that folds with one step and is easy to carry into your boot. You may also prefer a lightweight design, especially in high traffic streets.

Side-by-Side

This is the most popular double pushchair. It usually seats two children side-by-side. They tend to be a bit wider than single pushchairs, which means they are less agile on the footpaths and may be a bit difficult to navigate up and down kerbs when a car seat is attached. However the extra width means that they're usually easier to navigate through doorways and are more evenly distributed making them less burdensome to carry on your back.

They can be used as twin prams pushchairs from birth and many models will take both a carrycot or two car seats. Some can even be converted to a single mode with an additional 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 carrycot side-by-side. This creates a totally enclosed space for twins and is perfect for babies. The pram comes with amazing accessories, like the newborn cocoons, which can be put on either facing toward the forward direction or in any direction (for twin-facing prams). It is not as lightweight as some other options, but it's really cleverly created.

Lightweight

Cybex is renowned for its unique pushchairs, and the single-to double is no exception. Its clever frame expands widthways to take two seats and can be used it as a twin right from birth, thanks to the addition of two newborn cocoons (PS59 each) that provide enclosed, lie-flat areas for babies. It can also be used as a mono mode with one child due to a large basket that is placed behind the seat. It comes with front and rear suspension which means it can take on bumps and uneven surfaces with ease. Our reviewers picked this car as their top pick.

Available in a variety fashionable colors.

Tandem

If you're planning to have twins, you want a tandem pushchair that allows the children to sit together and be able to see each one another. These are great for things like going to the zoo because the kids will be able to look at all the animals together. They are also ideal for parents who wish to watch both their toddler and baby at the same time.

Some tandem pushchairs are incredibly adaptable, as they can be converted to single mode. This is especially useful when you are planning to have more than two children (or in the event that your child who is the oldest doesn't require an extra buggy). This will prevent you from having to store a buggy that's empty which can be costly.

For instance for instance, the Cybex Venus can be used in mono or double mode and has a clever frame that expands widthways to accommodate a second seat. This isn't the heaviest of pushchairs, however it comes with an enormous shopping basket that sits behind the front seat in double mode (and behind the seat in mono mode). The seats can be set so that they face each other, or one could be placed higher, so that it can see over the other and observe what they are doing.

Other double tandem pushchairs like the Joolz Geo 3 can seat one on top of the other or side-byside. They feature a sleek, compact frame that makes them easy to maneuver through doors and aisles of supermarkets, and some models can also be used as a jogging or stroller on rough terrain, thanks to a four-wheel suspension as well as large rear wheels.

Another advantage of a tandem pushchair is that it can use two carrycots or a car seat pram seat and a buggy seat. You can save money by creating a travel system at the beginning and not making separate purchases. It's important to keep in mind, however, that tandems are heavier and longer than single pushchairs, and are less stable when as you go over uneven surfaces. They also need dismantling to fit into cars.
