A An Instructional Guide To Pushchair From Start To Finish

Choosing a Double Pushchair Twin

If you have twins you'll require a double pushchair to get them from A to B. Our range includes a range of twin prams and double buggies in various configurations to suit your family requirements.

Choose a stroller that folds with one step and is easy to lift into your boot. You might also want an ultra-lightweight design, particularly in high traffic streets.

Side-by-Side

This is the most commonly used double pushchair. It usually seats two children side-by-side. They are usually bigger than single pushchairs. This makes them less agile on footpaths. It can also be difficult to navigate through kerbs with a car seat is attached. The extra width allows them to move more easily through doorways and also more evenly distributed so that it is easier to carry around on your back.

They can be used as twin stroller prams for newborns from the beginning and a lot of models can be used with a carrycot and 2 car seats. Some models can be converted to one mode with a basket to the side (like the Cybex Venus).

The Bugaboo Donkey 5 is a great example of this. In Twin Mode, you can put the rear seat alongside a carrycot. This allows you to create a fully enclosed twin space and is perfect for newborns. This babiie pram comes with some amazing accessories, including the newborn cocoons that can be attached either facing forwards or in any direction (for twin-facing prams). It's not as light as other options but it is extremely well-thought out.

Lightweight

Cybex is known for its ingenuity and this pushchair pram converts to a single is no exception. The frame can be enlarged to accommodate an additional seat. It is possible to use the pushchair as twins from birth by adding two cocoons for newborns, each costing PS59. These cocoons create lie-flat areas that are enclosed. It can also be used as mono mode with just one child due to a large shopping basket that sits behind the seat. And it has a rear and front suspensions that can handle bumps and uneven surfaces more easily. The top choice among our reviewers.

Available in a variety fashionable colors.

Tandem

If you are planning to have twins, you'll require a tandem pushchair. This will allow each child to sit and interact with each one another. These are great for things such as visiting the zoo as the children will be able to gaze at all the animals together. These are also great for parents who need to monitor both their toddler and baby simultaneously.

Some tandem pushchairs offer ultra flexibility since they can be converted back to single mode. This is especially handy if you're planning to have more than two children (or only your oldest doesn't need a buggy anymore). This will save you from having to store an empty buggy, which can be expensive.

The Cybex Venus, for example can be used in double or mono mode. Its frame can expand to accommodate an additional seat. It's not the lightest of pushchairs but it has a large basket that can be placed behind the front seat in double mode, or at the rear when in mono mode. The seats can be placed so that they face each other, or one could be placed higher, so that it can see at the other and see what they are doing.

Other double tandem pushchairs such as the Joolz Geo 3 can seat one on top of the other or side-by-side. The sleek, compact frame makes it easy to maneuver through doorways and supermarket aisles. Some models can also be used on rough terrain or as 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 with a buggy seat. This allows you to build a travel system right from the outset and save money on separate purchases. It is important to remember, however, that tandems are heavier and longer than single pushchairs and may feel less stable when as you go over uneven surfaces. They also tend to need dismantling in order to fit into cars.
