What Pushchair Experts Want You To Learn

Choosing a Double Pushchair Twin If you have twins you'll require a double pushchair to get them from A to B. Our selection includes a variety of twin prams and double buggies in various configurations to meet your family's needs.

Side-by-Side This is the most commonly used double pushchair. It usually seats two children side by side. They tend to be bigger than single pushchairs. This can make them less agile on the footpaths. It can also be difficult to move up and down kerbs when the car seat is in place. However, the extra width can mean that they're usually more comfortable to maneuver through doorways and are distributed more evenly making them less burdensome to carry around on your back. They can be used as a twin pram from the beginning and a lot of models can accommodate a carrycot or two car seats. Some can even be converted to a single mode with an additional basket (like the Cybex Venus). The Bugaboo Donkey 5 is a great example of this. In Twin Mode, you can place the rear seat next to a carrycot. This creates a totally enclosed space for twins and is perfect for infants. The pram also comes with a couple of very cool accessories, including the newborn cocoons which can be positioned to face either direction (for a twin-facing pram) or facing inwards (for a standard single). It's not as light as other options, but it's really cleverly thought out. Lightweight Cybex is known for its ingenuity and this pushchair converts to a single is no exception. The frame can be enlarged to accommodate a second seat. You can use the pushchair as a twin from birth by adding two newborn cocoons for a total of PS59. These cocoons create lie-flat areas that are enclosed. It can also be used as an individual mode with only one child, thanks to a large shopping basket that is placed behind the seat. It has both front and rear suspensions which means it can take on bumps and uneven surfaces with ease. The top choice from our reviewers. Available in a variety of elegant colors. Tandem If you're planning to have twins you will require a tandem pushchair. This allows the children to sit together and look at each one another. They are perfect for visiting the zoo, as children can observe the animals together. These are also great for parents who want to keep an eye on their toddler and baby at the same time. Some tandem pushchairs offer ultra flexibility as they can convert back to single mode. This is especially handy for families with more than two children (or only your oldest child does not require a buggy anymore). It means you won't be left with an empty pushchair that you need to store 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 heaviest of pushchairs, but it does come with a large shopping basket that sits behind the front seat in double mode (and in the back of the seat when it's mono mode). The seats can be set up so that they face each opposite or higher up to see what each is doing. Some double tandem pushchairs such as the Joolz Geo 3, are capable of seating one over the other or side-by-side. The slim, sleek frame makes it easier to maneuver through doors and aisles of supermarkets. Some models can also be used on rough terrain, or for an exercise walk due to their wide rear wheels and four-wheel suspension. Another benefit of a tandem pushchair is that it will often include two carrycots, or a car seat and a buggy seat. This allows you to build a travel system from the beginning and save money on separate purchases. Be aware that tandems are heavier and longer, and can be less stable when you bump into kerbs or navigating uneven surfaces. They also require dismantling to fit into cars.
