The History Of Pushchair In 10 Milestones

Choosing a Double Pushchair Twin

You'll need a double stroller to take your twins from one place to B. Our range includes twin prams and buggies that can be configured in various ways to meet your requirements.

Find a pushchair that folds in one step and is easy to carry into your boot. You may also prefer a lightweight design that's easy to navigate and manoeuvre especially when you have busy streets to tackle.

Side-by-Side

This is the most popular double pushchair. It usually seats two children side-by-side. They tend to be a bit wider than single pushchairs, which means they're less agile on the footpaths and may be a bit difficult to navigate up and down kerbs when a car seat is attached. The extra width makes them easier to maneuver through doors and also more evenly distributed so that it is easier on your back.

Many models can be used from birth as twin prams and will accept a carrycot, or two car seats. Some models can be converted into one mode, with a basket beside (like the Cybex Venus).

The Bugaboo Donkey 5 is a excellent illustration of this. In Twin Mode, you can fit the rear seat alongside a carrycot. This lets you create a fully enclosed twin space and is perfect for newborns. The childs pram comes with very cool accessories, such as the newborn cocoons that can be positioned either facing toward the forward direction or in any direction (for twin-facing prams). It's not as light as some other options but it is extremely well-thought out.

Lightweight

Cybex is known for its ingenuity and this pushchair that converts from a single to a double is no different. Its clever frame expands widthways to accommodate a second seat and can be used it as a twin right from birth with the addition of two newborn cocoons (PS59 each) which create enclosed lie-flat spaces for infants. It is also possible to use it as an individual mode with only one child thanks to a large shopping basket that is placed behind the seat. It also comes with rear and front suspension to tackle bumps and uneven surfaces more easily. A top pick among our reviewers.

Available in a variety stylish colors.

Tandem

If you're planning to have twins you will need a tandem pram pushchair. This will allow both children to sit together and interact with each other. They are perfect for visiting the zoo, as children can watch the animals together. These are also great for parents who need to watch their toddler and baby at the same time.

Some tandem pushchairs are extremely flexible, as they can be converted back to single mode. This is particularly useful if you're planning to have more than two kids (or just your eldest doesn't need a buggy anymore). This means you won't be left with an empty pushchair that you need to store away which can be expensive.

The Cybex Venus, for example, can be used either in mono or double mode. Its frame expands to accommodate a second seat. It's not the lightest of pushchairs, but it has an ample basket that can be set behind the front seat in double mode, or at the back if in mono mode. The seats can be placed to face each other or one could be placed higher up so it can be able to look over 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-byside. They are sleek and compact frame that makes them easier to maneuver through doorways and aisles of supermarkets Some models can be used as a jogging stroller or on rough terrain, thanks to a four-wheel suspension as well as large rear wheels.

A tandem pushchair could also be used to transport two carrycots or a car and buggy seat. This allows you to build a travel stroller travel system prams right from the outset and save money on additional purchases. Keep in mind that tandems are more heavy and longer and may appear less stable when bumping into kerbs or navigating uneven surfaces. They also have to be dismantled to fit in cars.
