Are Pushchair As Important As Everyone Says

Choosing a Double Pushchair Twin

When you have twins, you'll require a double pushchair in order to get them from A to B. Our range includes twin prams and buggies that are able to be set up in different ways to suit your requirements.

Find a stroller that can be folded in just one step and then easily tucked away into your boot. You could also opt for a lightweight 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 tend to be a bit wider than single pushchairs, meaning they're less agile on the footpaths and may be a little tricky to navigate through kerbs when a car seat is attached. The extra size 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 birth and many models can accommodate a carrycot and 2 car seats. Some can even convert into one mode by adding 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 put the rear seat and a carrycot side by side. This allows you to create an enclosed twin space and is perfect for babies. The pram uk is also equipped with a couple of very cool accessories, including the newborn cocoons which can be attached to face either way (for twin pram-facing prams) or facing inwards (for a normal single). It's not as lightweight as other options, but it's extremely well-thought out.

Lightweight

Cybex is known for innovation and this pushchair twin converts to a single is no different. 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 newborn cocoons (PS59 each) that create enclosed lie-flat spaces for infants. It can also be used as mono mode with just one child thanks to a large basket that sits behind the seat. It comes with front and rear suspension, so it can handle bumps and uneven surfaces more easily. Our reviewers selected this car as their top pick.

Available in a variety of stylish colors.

Tandem

If you are planning to have twins, you'll require a pushchair that is tandem. This allows the children to sit together and interact with each one another. They are ideal for activities like going to the zoo because the kids can look at all the animals together. They are also ideal for parents who need to keep an eye on both their toddler and baby at the same time.

Some tandem pushchairs offer ultra flexibility as they can convert back to single mode. This is especially useful if you plan to have more children than two (or if your eldest child does not require a buggy any longer). It means you won't have an empty pushchair to put away and can be expensive.

For example the Cybex Venus can be used in mono or double mode and has a clever frame that expands widthways to accommodate an extra 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 placed in a way that they face each other 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-by-side. The compact strollers, sleek frame makes it easier to navigate through doorways and aisles in supermarkets. Certain models can be used on uneven terrain or as a jogging walk thanks to their wide rear wheels and four-wheel suspension.

A tandem pushchair can also be used to carry two carrycots or a car with a buggy seat. You can save money by establishing an overall travel system from the beginning, and avoiding separate purchases. Remember that tandems are heavier and longer, and can feel less stable when you bump into the kerbs or going over uneven surfaces. These pushchairs also need to be dismantled to fit in cars.
