A Guide To Pushchair From Beginning To End

Choosing a Double Pushchair Twin

You'll need a double stroller in order to transport your twins from A to B. Our range of twin prams includes twin buggies that are able to be set up in various ways to meet your needs.

Look for a pushchair that folds with one step and is easy to put into your car. You might also want lightweight designs that are easy to navigate and manoeuvre, particularly if you have busy high streets to navigate.

Side-by-Side

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

Many models can be used from birth as twin prams, and can take a carrycot, or two car seats. Some can even convert into one-mode with the basket (like the Cybex Venus).

The Bugaboo Donkey 5 is a great example of this. In Twin Mode, you can put the rear seat next to the carrycot. This creates a fully enclosed space for twins and is perfect for infants. This pram is also equipped with a couple of very cool accessories, such as the newborn cocoons, which can be attached to face either direction (for twin-facing prams) or facing towards the front (for a normal single). It's not as lightweight as other models but it's incredibly well designed.

Lightweight

Cybex is known for its innovative pushchairs, and the single-to double is no exception. Its innovative frame expands widthways to accommodate an additional seat and you can use it as a twin right from birth with the addition of two infant cocoons (PS59 each) which create enclosed lie-flat spaces for babies. The large shopping basket that is behind the seat lets it be used in mono mode for a single child. It has both front and rear suspension, so it can handle bumps and uneven surfaces better. Our reviewers selected this car as their top pick.

Available in a variety of elegant colors.

Tandem

If you're planning to have twins, you should consider a pushchair that can allow the children to sit together, so they can be able to see each other. These are great for things like going to the zoo because the kids can look at all the animals together. They are also ideal for parents who want to keep an eye on their toddler and baby at the same time.

Some tandem pushchairs are incredibly adaptable, since they can be converted back to single mode. This is particularly beneficial if you plan to have more than two children (or when your oldest child isn't a need for an extra buggy). It means you won't have an empty pushchair that you need to store away and can be expensive.

The Cybex Venus, for example, can be used either in mono or double mode. The frame can be expanded to accommodate a second seat. This isn't the lightest of pushchairs, but it does come with a large shopping basket that is placed behind the front seat when in double mode (and in the back of the seat when it's mono mode). The seats can either be set up in a way that they face each other or higher up to see what each is doing.

Other double tandem pushchairs, such as the Joolz Geo 3 can seat one on top of the other, or side-by-side. They are sleek and compact frame that makes it easier to navigate through doorways and aisles in supermarkets Some models can even be used as a jogging stroller or on rough terrain due to a four-wheel suspension as well as wide rear wheels.

Another advantage of a tandem pushchair is that it can use two carrycots or a car seat and buggy seat. You can save money by establishing an overall travel system from the beginning and not making separate purchases.  pram pushchair  remembering that tandems are heavier and longer than single pushchairs and are less stable when bumping up kerbs or going over uneven surfaces. They also need dismantling in order to fit into cars.
