What Is Pushchair And Why Is Everyone Speakin About It

Choosing a Double Pushchair Twin

You'll need a double stroller in order to take your twins from one place to B. Our selection includes a variety of twin prams pushchairs prams pushchairs and double buggies that come in a variety of configurations to suit your family needs.

Choose a stroller that folds in a single step and is easy to lift into your boot. You might also want a lightweight design that's easy to maneuver and navigate especially when you have busy streets to traverse.

Side-by-Side

This is the most popular double compact pushchair. It usually seats two children side by side. They're generally bigger than single pushchairs. This makes them less maneuverable on footpaths. It can also be difficult to maneuver up and down kerbs when an automobile seat is installed. The extra size allows them to move more easily through doors, and they are more evenly distributed, so it is easier for you to carry them on your back.

They can be used as a twin pram from the beginning and a lot of models can accommodate a carrycot or 2 car seats. Some models can be converted to one-mode with a basket to the side (like the Cybex Venus).

One of the most impressive 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 an enclosed twin space and is ideal for infants. This pram bag comes with some really 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 some other options, but it's really cleverly thought out.

Lightweight

Cybex is renowned for its unique pushchairs, and the single-to-double is no exception. Its innovative frame expands widthways to take an additional seat and you can use it as a twin from birth with the addition of two infant cocoons (PS59 each) that provide enclosed, lie-flat areas for infants. The large shopping basket that is behind the seat can be used in mono mode with just one child. It has both front and rear suspension, so it can 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 want a tandem pushchair that allows the children to be seated close to each other so that they can look at each other. They are great for trips to the zoo since the kids can look at the animals together. They are also great for parents who need to keep one eye on their toddler and the other on their baby, as they can see both of them at the same time.

Some tandem pushchairs provide ultra flexibility since they can be converted back to single mode. This is especially useful for families with more than two kids (or only your oldest is no longer a need for a buggy). This will save you from having to store a buggy that's empty, which can be expensive.

The Cybex Venus, for example can be used in mono or double mode. Its frame can expand to accommodate an additional seat. It's not the tiniest pushchair but it has an enormous basket that can be set behind the front seat when in double mode or at the rear when in mono mode. The seats can be set up so that they face each other or higher up to see what the other is doing.

Other double tandem pushchairs, such as the Joolz Geo 3 can seat one on top of the other, or side-by-side. The compact pushchair, sleek frame makes it easy to maneuver through doorways and aisles in supermarkets. Some models can be used on uneven terrain or as an exercise walk due to their large rear wheels and four-wheel suspension.

Another benefit of a tandem pushchair is that it will often take two carrycots, or a car seat and buggy seat. This allows you to build a travel stroller system from the beginning and save money on additional purchases. Keep in mind that tandems are more heavy and longer, and they may be less stable when bumping up the kerbs or going over uneven surfaces. They also require dismantling to fit into cars.
