Choosing a Double pushchair car seat Twin (Www.Traublieberman.Com)
If you have twins you'll require a double pushchair to take them from A to B. Our selection includes a variety of twin prams and double buggies that come in a variety of configurations to meet your family's needs.
Look for a pushchair that folds in one step and is easy to carry into your car. You may also prefer a lighter design, especially when you're on busy high streets.
Side-by-Side
This is the most commonly used double pushchair. It usually seats two children side-by-side. They are generally wider than single pushchairs, meaning they may be less nimble on footpaths and can be a little tricky to navigate between kerbs when a car seat is attached. The extra width allows them to move more easily through doorways and also more evenly distributed, so it is easier to carry around on your back.
They can be used as twin prams from the beginning and a lot of models will take both a carrycot and 2 car seats. Some can even convert into one-mode with a basket alongside (like the Cybex Venus).
One of the best examples of this is the Bugaboo Donkey 5 which, in Twin Mode, allows you to place the rear seat and a carrycot side by side. This lets you create an entirely enclosed twin room and is perfect for newborns. This pram comes with some amazing accessories, including 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 created.
Lightweight
Cybex is known for its nifty pushchairs and the single-to-double isn't an exception. The frame can be expanded to accommodate a second seat. It is possible to use the pushchair as twins from birth by putting in two cocoons for babies, each costing PS59. These cocoons are enclosed and create lie-flat spaces. The large basket of shopping behind the seat can be used in mono mode for a single child. It comes with front and rear suspensions which means it can take on bumps and uneven surfaces more easily. Our reviewers picked this car as their top choice.
Available in a variety stylish colors.
Tandem
If you are planning to have twins you will require a pushchair car seat that is tandem. This will allow the children to sit together and interact with each one another. They are ideal for trips to the zoo as the children can look at the animals together. These are also great for parents who need to watch both their toddler and their baby at the same time.
Some tandem pushchairs provide ultra flexibility since they can be converted back to single mode. This is especially handy when you're planning to have more than two kids (or only your oldest child doesn't need a buggy anymore). This will prevent you from having to store a buggy empty which can be expensive.
The Cybex Venus, for example is a model that can be used in mono or double mode. The frame can be expanded to accommodate an additional seat. This isn't the heaviest 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 when it's mono mode). The seats can be set to face each other, or one can be set higher so that it can see over the other and observe what they're up to.
Other double tandem pushchairs like the Joolz Geo 3 can seat one on top of the other or side-by-side. The sleek, compact strollers frame makes it easy to navigate through doorways and aisles of supermarkets. Some models can also be used on uneven terrain or for a jogging walk thanks to their large rear wheels and four-wheel suspension.
Another benefit of a tandem pushchair is that it can use two carrycots or a car seat, and buggy seat. This allows you to create an entire travel system from the outset and save money on additional purchases. Remember that tandems are heavier and longer, and can be less stable when bumping up kerbs or navigating uneven surfaces. They also require dismantling in order to fit into cars.
