The Best Pushchair Tricks For Changing Your Life

Choosing a Double Pushchair Twin

If you have twins, you'll need a double pushchair to get them from A to B. Our range of twin prams pushchairs prams pushchairs includes twin buggies that can be configured in various ways to meet your requirements.

Find a stroller that can be folded in just one step, and easily put into your boot. You might also want an ultra-lightweight design, particularly 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 bigger than single pushchairs. This can make them less maneuverable on paths. It can also be difficult to maneuver through kerbs with the car seat is in place. However the extra width can mean that they're generally easier to navigate through doors and are more evenly distributed making them more comfortable on your back.

Many models are able to be used as twin prams, and can accept a carrycot, or two car seats. Some models can be converted into a single mode with the 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 a completely enclosed space for twins and is perfect for infants. The pram comes with amazing accessories, like the newborn cocoons that can be attached either facing forwards or in any direction (for twin-facing prams). It's not as light as some other options but it is extremely well-thought out.

Lightweight

Cybex is a brand folding stroller known for its innovation, and Baby Strollers this single-to-double pushchair is no different. The frame can be enlarged to accommodate an additional seat. You can use the pushchair pram as twins from birth by adding two newborn cocoons, each costing PS59. These cocoons create lie-flat areas that are enclosed. The large shopping basket that is behind the seat allows it to be used in mono mode for a single child. It also has front and rear suspensions to take on bumps and uneven surfaces a little more easily. It is a top pick from our reviewers.

Available in a variety of fashionable colors.

Tandem

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

Some tandem pushchairs car seats are incredibly adaptable, as they can be converted back to single mode. This is particularly beneficial when you are planning to have more than two children (or in the event that your child who is the oldest doesn't require an extra buggy). This will save you from having to store an empty buggy, which can be expensive.

The Cybex Venus, for example is a model that can be used in mono or double mode. Its frame can expand to accommodate an additional seat. It's not the tiniest pushchair but it has an enormous basket that can be set behind the front seat when in double mode, or at the back if in mono mode. The seats can be placed to face each other or one can be set higher up so it can look over the other and see what they're doing.

Other double tandem pushchairs like the Joolz Geo 3 can seat one on top of the other or side-by-side. The compact, sleek frame makes it easy to maneuver through doorways and aisles of supermarkets. Some models can be used on uneven terrain or as a jogging path due to their wide rear wheels and four-wheel suspension.

Another benefit of a tandem pushchair is that it can often take two carrycots, or a car seat and buggy seat. This allows you to create an entire travel system from the outset and save money on separate purchases. It is important to remember that tandems can be heavier and longer than single pushchairs and are less stable when bumping up kerbs or going over uneven surfaces. They also tend to need dismantling to fit into cars.
