What Is Pushchair? And How To Make Use Of It
Choosing a Double Pushchair Twin

You need a double stroller to take your twins from A to B. Our range includes twin prams and buggies that can be configured in different ways to suit your requirements.

Find a pushchair that folds in one step and is easy to lift into your boot. You may also prefer a lighter design, especially if you're tackling busy high streets.

Side-by-Side

This is the most commonly used double pushchair. It usually seats two children side-by-side. They tend to be wider than single pushchairs, which means they're less agile on the footpaths and may 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 generally more comfortable to maneuver through doorways and are distributed more evenly making them easier on your back.

They can be used as twin prams from birth and many models can accommodate a carrycot or two car seats. Some models can be converted into one-mode with a basket on the side (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 really cool accessories, such as the newborn cocoons which can be positioned to face either direction (for twin-facing prams) or facing forwards (for a normal single). It's not as lightweight as other options but it is extremely well-thought out.

Lightweight

Cybex is renowned for its nifty pushchairs and the single-to-double is no exception. Its innovative frame expands widthways to take an additional seat and can be used it as a twin right from birth by incorporating the addition of two newborn cocoons (PS59 each) which provide enclosed, lie-flat areas for babies. The large shopping basket that is behind the seat can be used in mono mode for one child. It comes with both front and rear suspension, so it can handle bumps and uneven surfaces more easily. It is a top pick among our reviewers.

Available in a variety elegant colors.

Tandem

If you are planning to have twins you will require a tandem pushchair. This will allow each child to sit and interact with each other. They are ideal for activities such as visiting the zoo since the children will be able to gaze at all the animals together. These are also great for parents who need to watch their toddler and baby at the same time.

Some tandem pushchairs are extremely flexible, as they can be converted to single mode. Read Alot more is particularly beneficial when you are planning to have more children than two (or in the event that your child who is the oldest isn't a need for the buggy anymore). This will prevent you from having to store a buggy that's empty which can be costly.

The Cybex Venus, for example can be used in mono or double mode. Its frame can expand to accommodate an additional seat. It's not the lightest pushchair, but it has a large basket that can be placed behind the front seat in double mode, or at the back if in mono mode. The seats can either be positioned so that they face one other or higher up 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. They feature a sleek, compact frame that makes it easier to maneuver through doorways and aisles in supermarkets and some models can also be used as a jogging stroller on rough terrain thanks to a four-wheel suspension and large rear wheels.

Another benefit of a tandem pushchair is that it can often take two carrycots, or a car seat and a buggy seat. This allows you to create a travel system right from the outset and save money on additional purchases. Remember that tandems are heavier and longer and may feel less stable when bumping into kerbs or navigating uneven surfaces. These pushchairs also need to be dismantled to fit in cars.
