How To Tell If You re In The Mood To Pushchair
Choosing a Double Pushchair twin (Bookmarksparkle.Com)
You'll need a double folding stroller in order to take your twins from A to B. Our range includes a range of twin prams as well as double buggies that come in a variety of configurations to suit your family requirements.
Look for a pushchair that folds in a single step and is easy to put into your car. You might also want a lighter design, especially in high traffic streets.
Side-by-Side
This is the most common double pushchair. It is usually able to accommodate two children side-by-side. They are usually wider than single pushchairs. This can make them less able to maneuver on the footpaths. It may also be difficult to navigate between kerbs when a car seat is attached. The extra size makes them easier to maneuver through doorways and are more evenly distributed so that it is easier for you to carry them on your back.
They can be used as a twin pram from birth, and many models will take both a carrycot and 2 car seats. Some can even convert into one mode by adding the basket (like the Cybex Venus).
The Bugaboo Donkey 5 is a great illustration of this. In Twin Mode, you can place the rear seat next to a carrycot. This creates a fully enclosed space for twins, and is perfect for babies. The pram comes with amazing accessories, such as the newborn cocoons that can be attached either facing toward the forward direction or in any direction (for twin-facing sale prams). It's not as lightweight as other options, but it's extremely well-thought out.
Lightweight
Cybex is renowned for its innovative pushchairs, and the single-to-double is no exception. The frame can be enlarged to accommodate an additional seat. You can use the pushchair as twins from birth by putting in two cocoons for newborns for a total of PS59. These cocoons create enclosed lie-flat spaces. The large basket of shopping behind the seat can be used in mono mode with just one child. It also comes with rear and front suspensions to take on bumps and uneven surfaces more easily. Our reviewers selected this car as their top pick.
Available in a range of stylish colors.
Tandem
If you're planning to have twins, you should consider a pushchair that can allow the children to sit together and be able to see each one another. They are ideal for activities like visiting the zoo, because the kids can look at all the animals together. They are also great for parents who must keep one eye on their toddler and the other on their baby, as they can see both at the same time.
Some tandem pushchairs offer ultra versatility as they can change back to single mode. This is particularly useful for families with more than two children (or when your oldest child isn't a need for the buggy anymore). This means that you won't have an empty pushchair to store away and can be expensive.
The Cybex Venus, for example can be used in mono or double mode. The frame can be expanded to allow for an additional seat. It's not the lightest of pushchairs, but it has a large basket that can be set behind the front seat when in double mode or at the back if in mono mode. The seats can either be positioned in a way that they face each opposite or higher up to be able to see what each is doing.
Other double tandem pushchairs such as the Joolz Geo 3 can seat one on top of the other or side-byside. The sleek, compact frame makes it easy to navigate through doorways and supermarket aisles. Certain models can be used on uneven terrain or as an exercise walk due to their wide rear wheels and four-wheel suspension.
Another advantage of a tandem pushchair is that it can often take two carrycots, or a car seat, and a buggy seat. You can save money by creating a travel pushchair system at the beginning, and avoiding separate purchases. It is important to remember that tandems are heavier and longer than single pushchairs and may feel less stable when as you go over uneven surfaces. They also have to be dismantled for fitting into cars.
