Five Pushchair Projects For Any Budget

Choosing a Double pushchair twin (visit the following post)

If you have twins, you'll require a double pushchair travel system to get them from A to B. Our range includes twin prams and buggies that are able to be set up in a variety of ways to meet your requirements.

Look for a pushchair that folds in a single step and is easy to carry into your boot. You may also prefer an ultra-light design that is easy to maneuver and navigate especially if you have busy high streets to traverse.

Side-by-Side

They are the most popular type of double pushchair and generally can seat two children together. They're generally larger than single pushchairs. This can make them less maneuverable on paths. It may also be 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 that it is easier on your back.

Many models can be used as early as birth as twin prams, and can take a carrycot, or two car seats. Some models can be converted into a single mode, with a basket beside (like the Cybex Venus).

One of the most excellent examples of this is the Bugaboo Donkey 5 which, in Twin Mode, allows you to fit the rear seat and carrycot side by side. This creates a totally enclosed space for twins and is perfect for infants. The pram also comes with a number of very cool accessories, such as the newborn cocoons that can be attached to the front or back (for twin-facing best prams) or facing forwards (for a standard single). It's not as light as some other options but it is really cleverly thought out.

Lightweight

Cybex is known for its ingenuity and this pushchair converts to a single is no exception. The frame can be extended to accommodate a second seat. You can use the pushchair as a twin from birth by putting in two newborn cocoons, each costing PS59. These cocoons create lie-flat areas that are enclosed. The large basket of shopping behind the seat can be used in mono mode with just one child. And it comes with rear and front suspensions to take on bumps and uneven surfaces a little more easily. It is a top pick from our reviewers.

Available in a variety of elegant colors.

Tandem

If you are planning to have twins you will require a tandem pushchair. This allows the children to sit together and interact with each other. They are ideal for trips to the zoo, as children can look at the animals together. They're also perfect for parents who have to keep an eye on their toddler and the other on their child, as they can see both of them simultaneously.

Some tandem pushchairs are extremely 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 when your oldest child isn't a need for a buggy any longer). This means you won't have an empty pushchair to put away, which can be costly.

The Cybex Venus, for example is a model that can be used in mono or double mode. The frame can be expanded to accommodate a second seat. This isn't the heaviest of pushchairs, however it comes with an enormous shopping basket that sits behind the front seat when in double mode (and behind the seat when it's mono mode). The seats can be placed in a way that they face each other or higher up to be able to see what the other is doing.

Double tandem pushchairs, like the Joolz Geo 3, are capable of seating one over the other or side-by-side. They feature a sleek, compact strollers frame that makes it easier to navigate through doorways and aisles in supermarkets Some models can even be used as a jogging or my babiie stroller on rough terrain thanks to a four-wheel suspension and wide rear wheels.

Another benefit of a tandem pushchair is that it can often take two carrycots, or a car seat, and a buggy seat. You can save money by establishing an overall travel system from the beginning, and avoiding separate purchases. It's important to keep in mind that tandems can be heavier and longer than single pushchairs, and are less stable when as you go over uneven surfaces. They also have to be dismantled for fitting into cars.
