Choosing a Double Pushchair Twin, Www.Orient.Uno,
When you have twins, you'll require a double running pushchair to take them from A to B. Our range includes twin prams as well as buggies that can be configured in a variety of ways to meet your needs.
Look for a stroller that can be folded in just one step and then easily tucked away into your car. You may also prefer an ultra-lightweight design, particularly in high traffic streets.
Side-by-Side
This is the most commonly used double pushchair. It usually seats two children side-by-side. They tend to be a bit wider than single pushchairs. This means they are less agile on footpaths and can be a little tricky to navigate up and down the kerbs with a car attached. The extra width allows them to move more easily through doors and are more evenly distributed so that it is less burdensome to carry around on your back.
Many models are able to be used as twin prams, and can accept a carrycot, or two car seats. Some can even convert into one-mode with the 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 put the rear seat and carrycot side-by-side. This creates a completely enclosed space for twins, and is perfect for infants. This pram comes with some amazing accessories, like the newborn cocoons, which can be put on 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 extremely well-thought out.
Lightweight
Cybex is known for its innovative pushchairs, and the single-to-double isn't an exception. Its clever frame expands widthways to take a second 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. It can also be used as a mono mode with one child, thanks to a large basket that is placed behind the seat. And it comes with rear and front suspensions that can handle 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 want a tandem pushchair that allows the children to be seated close to each other so that they can see each other. They are ideal for activities like visiting the zoo, because the kids will be able to look at all the animals together. These are also great for parents who need to monitor both their toddler and their baby at the same time.
Some tandem pushchairs are incredibly adaptable, as they can be converted to single mode. This is particularly beneficial if you plan to have more children than two (or when your oldest child doesn't require a buggy any longer). This will prevent you from having to store a buggy empty which can be costly.
For instance, the Cybex Venus can be used in double or mono mode, and features a clever frame that can be expanded to accommodate an extra seat. It's not the lightest of pushchairs, however it comes with an enormous shopping basket which is located behind the front seat when in double mode (and in the back of the seat in mono mode). The seats can be set to face each other, or one could be placed higher so that it can look over the other and observe what they're doing.
Double tandem pushchairs, like the Joolz Geo 3 in one pushchair, are capable of seating one over the other or side by side. They are sleek and compact frame that makes them easy to maneuver through doorways and supermarket aisles Some models can be used as a jogging or stroller on rough terrain due to a four-wheel suspension and wide rear wheels.
A tandem pushchair could also be used to transport two carrycots, or a car and buggy seat. This allows you to build an entire travel 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 in bumping into kerbs or over uneven surfaces. They also need dismantling in order to fit into cars.
