Why All The Fuss About Pushchair?

Choosing a Double Pushchair Twin

If you have twins you'll require a double pushchair to take them from A to B. Our range of twin prams includes twin 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 carry into your car. You may also prefer a lighter 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 wider than single pushchairs. This makes them less agile on paths. It is also difficult to maneuver between 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 less burdensome to carry around on your back.

They can be used as twin prams from birth, and many models can accommodate a carrycot or 2 car seats. Some models can be converted into one-mode with an additional basket (like the Cybex Venus).

One of the most excellent 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 creates a totally enclosed space for twins, and is ideal for newborns. This pram comes with some really cool accessories, such as the newborn cocoons that can be positioned either facing towards the front or in any direction (for twin-facing prams). It is not as lightweight as some other options, but it's really cleverly constructed.

Lightweight

Cybex is known for its innovative pushchairs prams pushchairs, and the single-to double is no exception. The frame can be expanded to accommodate a second seat. You can use the pushchair as a twin from birth by adding two newborn cocoons that cost PS59 each. These cocoons create enclosed lie-flat spaces. It can also be used in a mono mode with one child due to a large basket that sits behind the seat. It comes with front and rear suspensions which means it can take on bumps and uneven surfaces more easily. Our reviewers picked this car as their top choice.

Available in a variety elegant colors.

Tandem

If you're planning to have twins you will need a tandem pushchair. This allows the children to sit together and see each other. These are great for things such as visiting the zoo as the children can look at all the animals together. They're also ideal for parents who need to keep one eye on their toddler and the other eye on their infant because they can see both at the same time.

Some tandem pushchairs provide ultra flexibility since they can be converted back to single mode. This is particularly beneficial for families with more children than two (or if your eldest child does not require the buggy anymore). It means you won't have an empty pushchair to store away which can be expensive.

The Cybex Venus, for example is a model that can be used in double or mono mode. Its frame expands to allow for an additional seat. It's not the lightest 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 in mono mode). The seats can be set so that they face each other, or one can be set higher, so that it can be able to look over the other and observe what they're doing.

Other double tandem pushchairs, such as the Joolz Geo 3 can seat one on top of the other or side-byside. They have a sleek, compact travel pram frame that makes them easy to maneuver through doors and aisles of supermarkets Some models can be used as a jogging my babiie stroller or on rough terrain, thanks to a four-wheel suspension as well as wide 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 system at the beginning and avoiding separate purchases. Remember that tandems are heavier and longer, and can be less stable when bumping into kerbs or navigating uneven surfaces. They also have to be dismantled for fitting into cars.
