Why Pushchair Is Everywhere This Year

Choosing a Double pushchair twin - her explanation -

If you have twins you'll need a double pushchair to get them from A to B. Our range includes twin prams as well as buggies that can be configured in different ways to suit your requirements.

Look for a stroller compact that can fold in one step and easily lifted into your boot. You may also prefer a lighter design, especially in high traffic streets.

Side-by-Side

This is the most commonly used double pushchair pram. It can usually seat two children side-by-side. They are generally wider than single pushchairs. This means they may be less nimble on the sidewalk and can be a bit difficult to navigate between the kerbs with a car attached. However, the extra width does mean that they're generally easier to navigate through doorways and are more evenly distributed making them less burdensome to carry on your back.

Many models are able to be used as twin prams and will accommodate a carrycot or two car seats. Some models can be converted to a single mode with a basket on the side (like the Cybex Venus).

The Bugaboo Donkey 5 is a great illustration of this. In Twin Mode, you can put the rear seat next to a carrycot. This creates an entirely enclosed twin space, which is perfect for babies. This pram is also equipped with a couple of really cool accessories, including newborn cocoons that can be put on face either way (for twin-facing prams) or facing towards the front (for a standard single). It's not as lightweight as other options but it is very well thought out.

Lightweight

Cybex is renowned for its nifty pushchairs and the single-to-double is no exception. Its clever frame expands widthways to take two seats and can be used it as a twin right from birth with the addition of two newborn cocoons (PS59 each) which create enclosed lie-flat spaces for infants. The large shopping basket behind the seat can be used in mono mode with just one child. It also has a rear and front suspensions that can handle bumps and uneven surfaces a little more easily. A top pick among our reviewers.

Available in a variety stylish colors.

Tandem

If you're planning to have twins, you should consider a folding pushchair that can allow the children to be seated close to each other and see each other. They are ideal for trips to the zoo as the children can look at 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 since they can look at both of them at the same time.

Some tandem pushchairs offer ultra flexibility since they can be converted back to single mode. This is especially useful when you're planning to have more than two kids (or only your oldest child doesn't need a buggy anymore). This means that you won't have an empty folding pushchair to put away, which can be costly.

The Cybex Venus, for example can be used in mono or double mode. The frame can be expanded to accommodate an additional seat. It's not the lightest of pushchairs, however it comes with a large basket for shopping that sits behind the front seat in double mode (and behind the seat in mono mode). The seats can be positioned to face each other, or one can be set higher, so that it can be able to look over the other and see what they're up to.

Other double tandem pushchairs, such as the Joolz Geo 3 can seat one on top of the other or side-byside. They are sleek and compact travel pram frame that makes them easier to maneuver 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 advantage of a tandem pushchair is that it will often include two carrycots, or a car seat and a buggy seat. You can save money by creating a travel system at the beginning and avoiding separate purchases. It's important to keep in mind, however, that tandems are heavier and longer than single pushchairs, and can feel less stable as you go over uneven surfaces. They also have to be dismantled in order to fit into cars.
