How To Choose The Right Pushchair On The Internet

Choosing a double pram and pushchair Pushchair Twin

You'll need a double stroller to take your twins from one place to B. Our range comprises of twin prams as well as double buggies in various configurations to meet your family's needs.

Choose a foldable stroller that folds in one step and is easy to put into your car. You may also prefer a lighter design, especially when you're on 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 a bit wider than single pushchairs. This means they may be less nimble on the sidewalk and can be a little tricky to navigate between kerbs when a car seat is attached. However the extra width can mean that they're generally easier to navigate through doorways and are distributed more evenly making them easier to carry on your back.

They can be used as twin prams for newborns from birth, and many models will take both a carrycot or two car seats. Some models can be converted into one-mode with an additional basket (like the Cybex Venus).

One of the most excellent examples of this is the Bugaboo Donkey 5 which, in Twin Mode, allows you to put the rear seat and carrycot side by side. This creates an enclosed twin room and is ideal for infants. This childs pram also comes with a couple of really neat accessories, including the newborn cocoons which can be attached to face either way (for twin-facing prams) or facing towards the front (for a standard single). It's not as light as other options, but it's very well thought out.

Lightweight

Cybex is known for its unique pushchairs, and the single-to-double isn't an exception. The clever frame can be expanded to take a second seat and can be used it as a twin right from birth with the addition of two infant cocoons (PS59 each) that create enclosed lie-flat spaces for babies. It is also possible to use it as mono mode with just one child, thanks to a large shopping basket that sits behind the seat. It has both front and rear suspensions which means it can take on bumps and uneven surfaces better. Our reviewers picked this car as their top pick.

Tandem

If you are planning to have twins you will require a tandem pushchair. This will allow the children to sit together and interact with each other. They are perfect for visiting the zoo as the children can look at the animals together. They're also ideal for parents who must keep one eye on their toddler and the other on their child because they can see both of them simultaneously.

Some tandem pushchairs offer ultra flexibility since they can be converted back to single mode. This is especially useful when you're planning to have more than two children (or only your oldest is no longer a need for a buggy). This means you won't have an empty pushchair to store away which can be expensive.

For instance for instance, the Cybex Venus can be used in both mono and double mode and has a smart frame that expands widthways to accommodate a second seat. This isn't the lightest of pushchairs, but it does come with a large shopping basket which is located behind the front seat in double mode (and behind the seat in mono mode). The seats can be set up in a way that they face each the other or higher to see what each is doing.

Some double tandem pushchairs such as the Joolz Geo 3, are able to seat one above the other or side-by-side. The slim, sleek frame makes it easier to maneuver through doors and supermarket aisles. Some models can also be used on uneven terrain, or for a jogging path due to their wide rear wheels and four-wheel suspension.

Another benefit of a tandem pushchair is that it will often use two carrycots or a car seat, and a buggy seat. You can save money by establishing an entire travel system from the beginning and avoiding separate purchases. It's important to keep in mind, however, that tandems are heavier and longer than single pushchairs, and are less stable when in bumping into kerbs or over uneven surfaces. They also tend to need dismantling to fit into cars.
