15 Pushchair Benefits You Should All Know

Choosing a Double Pushchair Twin

If you have twins you'll need a double pushchair to take them from A to B. Our selection includes a variety of twin prams as well as double buggies that come in a variety of configurations to meet your family's needs.

Choose a stroller that folds with one step and is easy to lift into your boot. You may also prefer a lighter design, especially in high traffic streets.

Side-by-Side

They are the most popular type of double pushchair, and generally can seat two children in a row. They're generally wider than single pushchairs. This makes them less able to maneuver on footpaths. It may also be difficult to maneuver up and down kerbs when an automobile seat is installed. However the extra width can mean that they're generally more comfortable to maneuver through doorways and are more evenly distributed making them less burdensome on your back.

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

One of the most excellent 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 completely enclosed space for twins and is ideal for newborns. The pram uk comes with very cool accessories, like the newborn cocoons that can be attached either facing towards the front or in any direction (for twin-facing prams). It's not as light as other options but it is really cleverly thought out.

Cybex is renowned for its innovative pushchairs, and the single-to-double is no exception. The frame can be enlarged to accommodate another seat. You can use the pushchair as twins from birth by adding two cocoons for newborns, each costing PS59. These cocoons create lie-flat areas that are enclosed. It can also be used as a mono mode with one child thanks to a large shopping basket that is placed behind the seat. It has both front and rear suspensions, so it can handle bumps and uneven surfaces with ease. The top choice from our reviewers.

Available in a variety elegant colors.

Tandem

If you're planning to have twins, you should consider a pushchair that can allow the children to be seated side by side so that they can look at each other. They are ideal for activities like going to the zoo because the kids will be able to gaze at all the animals together. They are also ideal for parents who want to watch their toddler and baby at the same time.

Some tandem pushchairs provide ultra versatility as they can change back to single mode. This is especially useful for families with more than two children (or only your oldest doesn't need a buggy anymore). This means that you won't be left with an empty pushchair to put away which can be expensive.

For instance the Cybex Venus can be used in double or mono mode and has a clever frame that opens wide to accommodate an extra seat. This isn't the lightest of pushchairs, but it does come with a large basket for shopping 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 up so that they face one opposite or higher up to be able to see what each is doing.

Other double tandem pushchairs, such as the Joolz Geo 3 can seat one on top of the other or side-byside. They are sleek and compact frame that makes them easier to navigate through doorways and aisles in supermarkets, and some models can even be used as a jogging or babiie stroller on rough terrain thanks to a four-wheel suspension and large rear wheels.

Another benefit of a tandem pushchair is that it can include two carrycots, or a car seat, and buggy seat. You can save money by creating an entire travel system from the beginning, strollers and avoiding separate purchases. Remember that tandems are heavier and longer and may feel less stable when you bump into kerbs or navigating uneven surfaces. These pushchairs also need to be dismantled to fit in cars.
