What Is Pushchair And Why Is Everyone Talking About It
Choosing a Double Pushchair Twin
If you have twins you'll require a double pushchair to get them from A to B. Our range of twin prams pushchairs includes twin buggies that can be set up in different ways to suit your requirements.
Find a stroller that can fold in one step and easily lifted into your boot. You might also want a lightweight design, especially if you're tackling busy high streets.
Side-by-Side
These are the most common type of double pushchair and can typically seat 2 children in a row. They are usually larger than single pushchairs. This can make them less agile on the footpaths. It is also difficult to move through kerbs with an automobile seat is installed. However the extra width means that they're generally easier to navigate through doors and are more evenly distributed making them less burdensome on your back.
They can be used as a twin pram from birth, and many models can accommodate a carrycot or 2 car seats. Some models can be converted into one mode by adding a basket alongside (like the Cybex Venus).
The Bugaboo Donkey 5 is a perfect illustration of this. In Twin Mode, you can place the rear seat alongside a carrycot. This creates an entirely enclosed twin space and is ideal for infants. This pram shops near me is also equipped with a couple of really neat accessories, such as the newborn cocoons which can be attached to face either direction (for twin-facing prams) or parent facing pushchair forwards (for a normal single). It's not as light as some other options but it is extremely well-thought out.
Lightweight
Cybex is a brand known for its innovation and this pushchair that converts from a single to a double is no exception. The frame can be expanded to accommodate a second seat. It is possible to use the pushchair as a twin from birth by adding two cocoons for babies that cost PS59 each. These cocoons are enclosed and create lie-flat spaces. It can also be used as mono mode with just one child due to a large basket that sits behind the seat. It also comes with rear and front suspensions that can handle bumps and uneven surfaces more easily. It is a top pick from our reviewers.
Available in a range of stylish colors.
Tandem
If you are planning to have twins you will require a pushchair that is tandem. This will allow the children to sit together and interact with each one another. They are great for trips to the zoo as the children can observe the animals together. They are also ideal for parents who need to monitor their toddler and baby simultaneously.
Some tandem pushchairs are extremely adaptable, as they can be converted back to single mode. This is especially handy if you're planning to have more than two kids (or only your oldest child does not require a buggy anymore). This means that you won't be left with an empty pushchair to put away and can be expensive.
The Cybex Venus, for example, can be used either in double or mono mode. Its frame can expand to allow for an additional seat. It's not the tiniest pushchair but it has an enormous basket that can be placed behind the front seat when in double mode or at the rear when in mono mode. The seats can be placed in a way that they face each opposite or higher up to see what the other is doing.
Other double tandem pushchairs, such as the Joolz Geo 3 in one pushchair, are able to seat one above the other or side by side. The sleek, compact frame makes it easy to maneuver through doors and aisles of supermarkets. Some models can also be used on uneven terrain, or for an exercise walk due to their large rear wheels and four-wheel suspension.
A tandem pushchair can also be used to transport two carrycots, or a car and buggy seat. This allows you to build an entire travel system from the outset and save money on separate purchases. It's important to keep in mind that tandems can be heavier and longer than single pushchairs, and may feel less stable when bumping up kerbs or going over uneven surfaces. They also need dismantling to fit into cars.
