15 Pushchair Benefits Everyone Must Be Able To

Choosing a Double pushchair twin - link home,

You need a double stroller in order to take your twins from one place to B. Our range of twin prams includes twin buggies that can be set up in different ways to suit your requirements.

Look for a stroller that can fold in one step, and easily put into your car. You could also opt for an ultra-lightweight design, particularly in high traffic streets.

Side-by-Side

These are the most common type of double pushchair that can typically seat 2 children together. They are generally wider than single pushchairs. This means they are less agile on the sidewalk and can be a bit difficult to navigate up and down kerbs when a car seat is attached. However, the extra width can mean that they're often a lot easier to navigate through doorways and are distributed more evenly making them less burdensome to carry on your back.

Many models can be used from birth as twin prams, and can accept a carrycot, or two car seats. Some can even be converted to one mode by adding the basket (like the Cybex Venus).

One of the most impressive examples of this is the Bugaboo Donkey 5 which, in Twin Mode, allows you to place the rear seat and carrycot side-by-side. This creates a completely enclosed space for twins, and is perfect for infants. This pram also comes with a couple of very cool accessories, including the newborn cocoons which can be put on the front or back (for twin-facing prams) or parent facing pram forwards (for a standard single). It's not as light like other options however it's very cleverly created.

Lightweight

Cybex is known for its nifty pushchairs and the single-to-double 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 babies, each costing PS59. These cocoons create enclosed lie-flat spaces. The large shopping basket behind the seat can be used in mono mode with just one child. It has both front and rear suspensions that allows it to handle bumps and uneven surfaces with ease. It is a top prams pick among our reviewers.

Available in a range of stylish colors.

Tandem

If you plan to have twins you will require a tandem pushchair. This allows each child to sit and interact with each one another. They are perfect for visiting the zoo, as children can look at the animals together. These are also great for parents who want to keep an eye on their toddler and baby simultaneously.

Some tandem pushchairs offer ultra versatility as they can change back to single mode. This is especially useful when you're planning to have more than two kids (or just your eldest is no longer a need for a buggy). It means you won't be left with an empty pushchair to put away which can be expensive.

The Cybex Venus, for example, can be used either in double or mono mode. Its frame expands to allow for an additional seat. It's not the lightest pushchair but it has an enormous basket that can be placed behind the front seat in double mode, or at the back if in mono mode. The seats can be placed so that they face each other or higher up to be able to see what the other is doing.

Other double tandem pushchairs such as the Joolz Geo 3 can seat one on top of the other or side-by-side. The slim, sleek frame makes it easier to maneuver through doors and supermarket aisles. Certain models can be used on uneven terrain or for an exercise walk due to their wide rear wheels and four-wheel suspension.

Another benefit of a tandem pushchair is that it will often take two carrycots, or a car seat and buggy seat. This means you can create an entire travel system from the beginning and save money on separate purchases. It's worth remembering, however, that tandems can be heavier and longer than single pushchairs prams pushchairs, and may feel less stable when as you go over uneven surfaces. They also have to be dismantled for fitting into cars.
