Choosing a Double Pushchair Twin
If you have twins, you'll need a double pushchair to get them from A to B. Our selection includes a variety of twin prams as well as double buggies in various configurations to suit your family needs.
Look for a stroller that can be folded in one step and easily lifted into your boot. You may also want lightweight designs that are easy to navigate and manoeuvre especially if you have busy roads to tackle.
Side-by-Side
This is the most commonly used double pushchair. It is usually able to accommodate two children side-by-side. They are generally wider than single pushchairs. This means they're less agile on the footpaths and may be a little tricky to navigate between the kerbs with a car attached. The extra width allows them to move more easily through doors and also more evenly distributed so that it is less burdensome on your back.
They can be used as a twin pram; mouse click the next document, from birth and many models can accommodate a carrycot or 2 car seats. Some models can be converted into one-mode with a basket alongside (like the Cybex Venus).
The Bugaboo Donkey 5 is a perfect illustration of this. In Twin Mode, you can put the rear seat alongside a carrycot. This creates a totally enclosed space for twins, and is perfect for babies. The pram stores near me comes with amazing accessories, such as the newborn cocoons, which can be put on either facing toward the forward direction or in any direction (for twin pushchairs-facing prams). It's not as light as some other options but it is extremely well-thought out.
Lightweight
Cybex is a brand known for its innovation and this pushchair that converts from a single to a double is no different. The frame can be enlarged to accommodate another seat. You can use the pushchair as a twin from birth by putting in two cocoons for newborns that cost PS59 each. These cocoons are enclosed and create lie-flat spaces. It can also be used as a mono mode with one child, thanks to a large basket that is placed behind the seat. It also has a rear and front suspension to tackle bumps and uneven surfaces a little more easily. The top choice from our reviewers.
Available in a variety of stylish colors.
Tandem
If you're planning to have twins, you need a tandem pushchair that allows the children to sit close to each other, so they can be able to see each one another. These are great for things like going to the zoo as the children can look at all the animals together. They are also ideal for parents who need to keep an eye on their toddler and baby simultaneously.
Some tandem pushchairs are incredibly adaptable, since they can be converted back to single mode. This is especially handy when you're planning to have more than two children (or just your eldest is no longer a need for a buggy). This will save you from having to store an empty buggy, which can be expensive.
For example, the Cybex Venus can be used in both mono and double mode, and features a clever frame that can be expanded to accommodate an extra seat. This isn't the lightest of pushchairs, however it comes with an enormous shopping basket which is located behind the front seat in double mode (and at the back of the seat in mono mode). The seats can be placed to face each other, or one could be placed higher so that it can see at the other and see what they're doing.
Other double tandem pushchairs like the Joolz Geo 3 can seat one on top of the other, or side-by-side. The compact, sleek frame makes it easier to navigate through doorways and aisles of supermarkets. Some models can also be used on rough terrain or as an exercise walk due to their wide rear wheels and four-wheel suspension.
Another advantage of a tandem pushchair is that it can often include two carrycots, or a car seat, and buggy seat. This means you can create an entire travel system prams system from the beginning and save money on separate purchases. It's important to keep in mind, however, that tandems are heavier and longer than single pushchairs and can feel less stable bumping up kerbs or going over uneven surfaces. They also require dismantling to fit into cars.
