The Little-Known Benefits To Pushchair
Choosing a Double pushchair twin (Edccommunity official blog)
When you have twins, you'll need a double pushchair to take them from A to B. Our range includes twin prams pushchairs prams and buggies that are able to be set up in different ways to suit your needs.
Look for a pushchair that folds in one step and is easy to lift into your car. You might also want lightweight designs that are easy to navigate and manoeuvre especially when you have busy streets to tackle.
Side-by-Side
This is the most common double pushchair. It usually seats two children side by side. They are generally wider than single pushchairs, meaning they're less agile on the sidewalk and can be a little tricky to navigate through kerbs when a car seat is attached. The extra width makes them easier to maneuver through doorways and are more evenly distributed, so it is easier for you to carry them on your back.
Many models can be used from birth as twin prams for sale, and can accommodate a carrycot or two car seats. Some can even convert into one-mode with the basket (like the Cybex Venus).
The Bugaboo Donkey 5 is a excellent example of this. In Twin Mode, you can fit the rear seat next to the carrycot. This creates a totally enclosed space for twins and is ideal for newborns. This pram also comes with a couple of very cool accessories, such as the newborn cocoons, which can be positioned to face either way (for a twin-facing pram) or facing forwards (for a normal single). It's not as light as other options, but it's really cleverly thought out.
Lightweight
Cybex is known for its ingenuity, and this single-to-double pushchair is no exception. The frame can be enlarged to accommodate another seat. You can use the pushchair as a twin from birth by adding two newborn cocoons, each costing PS59. These cocoons are enclosed and create lie-flat spaces. The large basket of shopping behind the seat lets it be used in mono mode with just one child. It has both front and rear suspension that allows it to handle bumps and uneven surfaces better. It is a top pick among our reviewers.
Available in a variety of stylish colors.
Tandem
If you're planning to have twins, you'll require a tandem pushchair. This will allow the children to sit together and look at each other. They are perfect for visiting the zoo, as children can observe the animals together. They're also ideal for parents who must keep one eye on their toddler and the other on their baby stroller because they can see both at the same time.
Some tandem pushchairs are incredibly adaptable, as they can be converted back to single mode. This is particularly useful when you are planning to have more children than two (or if your eldest child does not require an extra buggy). This will help you avoid having to store a buggy that's empty which can be costly.
For instance, the Cybex Venus can be used in both mono and double mode, and features a clever frame that expands widthways to allow for an additional seat. It's not the lightest of pushchairs, but it offers an enormous shopping basket that sits 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 so that they face one the other or higher to see what the other is doing.
Some double tandem pushchairs like the Joolz Geo 3, are able to seat one above the other or side by side. They feature a sleek, compact frame that makes them easier to navigate through doorways and supermarket aisles, and some models can even be used as a jogging or stroller on rough terrain due to a four-wheel suspension and wide rear wheels.
Another benefit of a tandem pushchair is that it will often include two carrycots, or a car seat, and buggy seat. You can save money by creating an entire travel system from the beginning, and avoiding separate purchases. It is important to remember, however, that tandems can be heavier and longer than single pushchairs, and can feel less stable bumping up kerbs or going over uneven surfaces. They also have to be dismantled for fitting into cars.
