The Most Successful Pushchair Gurus Can Do 3 Things

Choosing a Double Pushchair Twin

You need a double stroller in order to take your twins from A to B. Our range includes a range of twin prams and double buggies with various configurations to suit your family needs.

Choose a stroller that folds in a single step and is easy to put into your boot. You may also prefer a lightweight design, especially in high traffic streets.

Side-by-Side

This is the most common double pushchair. It can usually seat two children side-by-side. They are generally wider than single pushchairs. This means they are less agile on footpaths and can be a bit 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 it is less burdensome for you to carry them on your back.

They can be used as twin prams from birth and many models will take both a carrycot or 2 car seats. Some models can be converted to one mode with a basket on the side (like the Cybex Venus).

One of the most excellent examples of this is the Bugaboo Donkey 5 which, in twin pram Mode, allows you to put the rear seat and a carrycot side-by-side. This lets you create an entirely enclosed twin space and is perfect for babies. This pram also comes with a couple of really neat accessories, including the newborn cocoons, which can be attached to face either direction (for twin-facing prams) or facing towards the front (for a normal single). It's not as light as other options but it is extremely well-thought out.

Lightweight

Cybex is known for its innovative pushchairs, and the single-to-double isn't an exception. The frame can be expanded to accommodate a second seat. It is possible to use the pushchair as twins from birth by putting in two cocoons for babies for a total of PS59. These cocoons create lie-flat areas that are enclosed. It can also be used in mono mode with just one child due to a large basket that sits behind the seat. And it comes with rear and front suspensions that can handle bumps and uneven surfaces a little more easily. Our reviewers chose this car as their top pick.

Available in a variety of fashionable colors.

Tandem

If you're planning to have twins, you need a pushchair with car seat that can allow children to sit close to each other, so they can look at each other. They are ideal for trips to the zoo as the children can look at the animals together. These are also great for parents who wish to keep an eye on their toddler and baby pram simultaneously.

Some tandem pushchairs offer ultra versatility as they can change back to single mode. This is especially useful when you're planning to have more than two kids (or only your oldest doesn't need a buggy anymore). This means you won't be left with an empty compact pushchair to store away which can be expensive.

For example the Cybex Venus can be used in double or mono mode and has a smart frame that can be expanded to allow for an additional seat. It's not the lightest of pushchairs, however it comes with an enormous shopping basket that sits behind the front seat when in double mode (and at the back of the seat in mono mode). The seats can be set to face each other or one could be placed higher so that it can look over the other and see what they are doing.

Other double tandem pushchairs, like the Joolz Geo 3, are able to seat one above the other or side-by-side. The slim, sleek frame makes it easier to navigate through doorways and aisles of supermarkets. Some models can be used on uneven terrain, or for a jogging path due to their large rear wheels and four-wheel suspension.

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 create a travel system right from the outset and save money on separate purchases. It is important to remember that tandems are heavier and longer than single pushchairs, and are less stable when bumping up kerbs or going over uneven surfaces. These pushchairs also need to be dismantled to fit in cars.
