The Best Pushchair Methods To Change Your Life

Choosing a Double Pushchair Twin

You'll need a double stroller to take your twins from one place to B. Our range includes twin prams as well as buggies that are able to be set up in a variety of ways to meet your needs.

Look for a stroller that can be folded in one step and easily lifted into your car. You might also want a lightweight design, especially in high traffic streets.

Side-by-Side

This is the most popular double pushchair. It usually seats two children side by side. They tend to be larger than single pushchairs. This can make them less able to maneuver on the footpaths. It may also be difficult to move between kerbs when an automobile seat is installed. However the extra width means that they're usually more comfortable to maneuver 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 good prams and accept a carrycot, or two car seats. Some can even convert into one-mode with an additional 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 put the rear seat and a carrycot side by side. This creates a fully enclosed twin space and is ideal for infants. This pram comes with some very cool accessories, like the newborn cocoons that can be positioned either facing towards the front or in any direction (for twin-facing prams). It's not as lightweight as other options, but it's very well thought out.

Lightweight

Cybex is known for its innovative pushchairs, and the single-to-double is no exception. Its innovative frame expands widthways to accommodate two seats and you can use it as a twin right from birth by incorporating the addition of two newborn cocoons (PS59 each) that provide enclosed, lie-flat areas for infants. The large shopping basket that is behind the seat can be used in mono mode for a single child. It also has a rear and front suspension to tackle bumps and uneven surfaces a little more easily. The top choice among our reviewers.

Available in a range of elegant colors.

Tandem

If you are planning to have twins, you'll need a tandem pushchair. This will allow each child to sit and see each other. They are ideal for trips to the zoo, as children can watch the animals together. These are also great for parents who wish to monitor both their toddler and their baby at the same time.

Some tandem pushchairs provide ultra flexibility as they can convert back to single mode. This is especially useful if you're planning to have more than two kids (or only your oldest child doesn't need a buggy anymore). This 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 in mono or double mode. Its frame expands to accommodate a second seat. This isn't the lightest 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 so that they face each other, or one could be placed higher so that it can see at the other and see what they are doing.

Other double tandem pushchairs like the Joolz Geo 3 can seat one on top of the other or side-by-side. They feature a sleek, compact frame that makes them easier to maneuver through doors and aisles in supermarkets and some models can also be used as a jogging stroller or on rough terrain thanks to a four-wheel suspension as well as large rear wheels.

Another benefit of a tandem triple pushchair is that it will often include 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. Keep in mind that tandems are more heavy and longer, and can feel less stable when you bump into the kerbs or going over uneven surfaces. They also need dismantling to fit into cars.
