10 Pushchair Techniques All Experts Recommend
Choosing a Double Pushchair Twin
When you have twins, you'll need a double pushchair to take them from A to B. Our range comprises of twin prams and double buggies in various configurations to meet your family's requirements.
Look for a pushchair that folds in a single step and is easy to lift into your boot. You may also prefer an ultra-lightweight design, particularly in high traffic streets.
Side-by-Side
This is the most commonly used double pushchair. It is usually able to accommodate two children side-by-side. They tend to be larger than single pushchairs. This makes them less maneuverable on paths. It may also be difficult to move between kerbs when the car seat is in place. The extra width makes them easier to maneuver through doorways, and they are more evenly distributed so that it is easier for you to carry them on your back.
They can be used as a twin pram from birth and many models can be used with a carrycot or 2 car seats. Some models can be converted into one-mode with a basket to the side (like the Cybex Venus).
pram newborn of the most excellent 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 totally enclosed space for twins and is perfect for babies. This pram is also equipped with a couple of very cool accessories, including the newborn cocoons that can be positioned to face either way (for twin-facing prams) or facing towards the front (for a normal single). It is not as lightweight like other options, but it's really cleverly designed.
Lightweight
Cybex is known for its ingenuity and this pushchair that converts from a single to a double is no different. The frame can be enlarged to accommodate a second seat. It is possible to use the pushchair as twins from birth by putting in two cocoons for babies for a total of PS59. These cocoons create enclosed lie-flat spaces. The large shopping basket that is behind the seat can be used in mono mode with just one child. And it has a rear and front suspensions that can handle bumps and uneven surfaces a little more easily. Our reviewers picked this car as their top choice.
Available in a range of elegant colors.
Tandem
If you're planning to have twins, you'll require a tandem pushchair. This will allow the children to sit together and interact with each other. They are perfect for visiting the zoo since the kids can look at the animals together. They're also perfect for parents who must keep one eye on their toddler and the other eye on their infant, as they can see both simultaneously.
Some tandem pushchairs are incredibly adaptable, since they can be converted to single mode. This is especially handy if you're planning to have more than two children (or just your eldest does not require a buggy anymore). This means you won't have an empty pushchair to store away which can be expensive.
The Cybex Venus, for example can be used in double or mono mode. Its frame expands to allow for an additional seat. This isn't the heaviest of pushchairs, however it comes with a large basket for shopping that sits behind the front seat in double mode (and at the back of the seat when it's mono mode). The seats can be positioned to face each other or one can be set higher up so it can be able to look at 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-by-side. The slim, sleek frame makes it easier to maneuver through doorways and aisles of supermarkets. Some models can also be used on rough terrain or for a jogging walk thanks to their large rear wheels and four-wheel suspension.
A tandem pushchair can be used to transport two carrycots, or a car and buggy seat. You can save money by creating an entire travel system from the beginning and not making separate purchases. It is important to remember that tandems can be heavier and longer than single pushchairs and are less stable when bumping up kerbs or going over uneven surfaces. They also tend to need dismantling to fit into cars.
