It s The Complete List Of Pushchair Dos And Don ts

Choosing a Double Pushchair Twin

You need a double stroller in order to take your twins from one place to B. Our range includes twin pram prams and buggies that can be set up in various ways to meet your needs.

Find a stroller that can be folded in just one step and then easily tucked away into your boot. You may also prefer lightweight designs that are easy to maneuver and navigate especially if you have busy high streets to tackle.

Side-by-Side

This is the most common double pushchair. It usually seats two children side-by-side. They tend to be a bit wider than single pushchairs. This means they may be less nimble on the footpaths and may be a little tricky to navigate between kerbs with a car seat attached. However, the extra width means that they're usually easier to navigate through doors and are more evenly distributed making them more comfortable to carry on your back.

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

One of the most impressive examples of this is the Bugaboo Donkey 5 which, in Twin Mode, allows you to place the rear seat and a carrycot side by side. This creates a totally enclosed space for twins, and is perfect for infants. This babiie pram also comes with a couple of really cool accessories, including newborn cocoons which can be put on face either way (for a twin-facing pram sets) or facing forwards (for a normal single). It is not as lightweight like other options however it's very cleverly designed.

Lightweight

Cybex is known for innovation, and this single-to-double pushchair pram is no different. The frame can be extended to accommodate an additional seat. It is possible to use the running pushchair as a twin from birth by adding two cocoons for newborns for a total of PS59. These cocoons create lie-flat areas that are enclosed. It can also be used as mono mode with just one child, thanks to a large shopping basket that sits behind the seat. And it comes with rear and front suspension to tackle bumps and uneven surfaces a little more easily. Our reviewers picked this car as their top choice.

Available in a variety fashionable colors.

Tandem

If you're planning to have twins, you need a tandem pushchair that allows children to sit together so that they can look at each other. They are ideal for activities such as visiting the zoo as the children will be able to gaze at all the animals together. They're also ideal for parents who have to keep one eye on their toddler and the other eye on their infant since they can look at both simultaneously.

Some tandem pushchairs offer extreme flexibility since they can be converted back to single mode. This is particularly useful if you're planning to have more than two children (or only your oldest child is no longer a need for a buggy). This means you won't be left with an empty pushchair to store 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 tiniest pushchair, but it has a large basket that can be set behind the front seat when in double mode, or in the back when it's in mono mode. The seats can be set up so that they face each 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 are sleek and compact frame that makes it easier to navigate through doorways and supermarket aisles and some models can also be used as a jogging or stroller on rough terrain, thanks to a four-wheel suspension as well as large rear wheels.

Another advantage of a tandem pushchair is that it will often use two carrycots or a car seat, and buggy seat. This allows you to build a travel system right from the beginning and save money on separate purchases. It's important to keep in mind, however, that tandems are heavier and longer than single pushchairs, and can feel less stable in bumping into kerbs or over uneven surfaces. These pushchairs must also be dismantled to fit in cars.
