What Is Pushchair And Why Are We Talking About It

Choosing a Double Pushchair Twin

You need a double triple stroller in order to transport your twins 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 a single step and is easy to carry into your boot. You may also prefer lightweight designs that are easy to navigate and manoeuvre, particularly if you have busy high streets to navigate.

Side-by-Side

They are the most popular type of double pushchair and can typically seat 2 children side-by-side. They tend to be bigger than single pushchairs. This can make them less able to maneuver on the footpaths. It may also be difficult to move up and down kerbs when a car seat is attached. The extra width allows them to move more easily through doorways, and they are more evenly distributed, so it is less burdensome for you to carry them on your back.

Many models are able to be used as twin prams, and can take a carrycot, or two car seats. Some can even be converted to a single mode with an additional basket (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 carrycot side-by-side. This lets you create an entirely enclosed twin space, which is perfect for babies. This pram comes with some very cool accessories, including the newborn cocoons, which can be put on either facing towards the front or in any direction (for twin-facing prams for newborns). It's not as lightweight as other options, but it's very well thought out.

Lightweight

Cybex is renowned for its innovative pushchairs, and the single-to-double is no exception. The frame can be expanded to accommodate another seat. You can use the pushchair as a twin stroller from birth by adding two cocoons for babies that cost PS59 each. These cocoons create lie-flat areas that are enclosed. The large shopping basket behind the seat allows it to be used in mono mode with just one child. It has both front and rear suspensions which means it can take on bumps and uneven surfaces better. Our reviewers chose this car as their top pick.

Available in a variety fashionable colors.

Tandem

If you are planning to have twins you will require a pushchair that is tandem. This will allow both children to sit together and see each other. They are ideal for activities such as visiting the zoo as the children can look at all the animals together. They are also ideal for parents who need to watch their toddler and baby at the same time.

Some tandem pushchairs offer ultra versatility as they can change back to single mode. This is particularly useful for families with more than two children (or if your eldest child isn't a need for the buggy anymore). This will prevent you from having to store a buggy that's empty, which can be expensive.

The Cybex Venus, for example can be used in double or mono mode. The frame can be expanded to accommodate an additional seat. It's not the lightest of pushchairs however it does come with an ample basket that can be placed behind the front seat in double mode or in the back when it's in mono mode. The seats can be set up so that they face one other or higher up to see what each is doing.

Other double tandem pushchairs, such as the Joolz Geo 3, are able to seat one above the other or side-by-side. They have a sleek, compact frame that makes it easier to maneuver through doorways and aisles in supermarkets Some models can also be used as a jogging stroller on rough terrain, thanks to a four-wheel suspension and large rear wheels.

A tandem pushchair could also be used to carry two carrycots or a car with a buggy seat. You can save money by creating a travel strollers system at the beginning and avoiding separate purchases. It's worth remembering that tandems are heavier and longer than single pushchairs, and are less stable when as you go over uneven surfaces. They also tend to need dismantling to fit into cars.
