It s Time To Upgrade Your Pushchair Options
Choosing a Double pushchair twin (thebookpage.com`s latest blog post)
You'll need a double stroller travel to take your twins from A to B. Our selection includes a variety of twin prams and double buggies in various configurations to suit your family needs.
Find a running pushchair that folds in one step and is easy to carry into your car. You may also prefer an ultra-light design that is easy to navigate and manoeuvre especially when you have busy streets to navigate.
Side-by-Side
This is the most popular double pushchair stroller. 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 little tricky to navigate up and down kerbs when a car seat is attached. The extra width 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.
Many models can be used from birth as twin prams and will take a carrycot, or two car seats. Some models can be converted into one-mode, with a basket beside (like the Cybex Venus).
One of the best examples of this is the Bugaboo Donkey 5 which, in Twin Mode, allows you to place the rear seat and carrycot side-by-side. This creates a fully enclosed space for twins, and is ideal for newborns. The pram comes with really cool 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's extremely well-thought out.
Lightweight
Cybex is known for its ingenuity and this pushchair that converts from a single to a double is no different. The clever frame can be expanded to accommodate a second seat and can be used it as a twin from birth by incorporating the addition of two newborn cocoons (PS59 each) that provide enclosed, lie-flat areas for babies. The large shopping basket that is behind the seat can be used in mono mode with just one child. It also has a rear and Parent Facing Pram front suspension to tackle bumps and uneven surfaces a little more easily. A top pick from our reviewers.
Available in a variety 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 look at each one another. They are ideal for activities such as visiting the zoo as the children will be able to look at all the animals together. These are also great for parents who need to monitor their toddler and baby simultaneously.
Some tandem cheap pushchairs offer ultra flexibility as they can convert back to single mode. This is especially useful when you're planning to have more than two kids (or only your oldest does not require a buggy anymore). It means you won't have an empty pushchair to store away which can be expensive.
The Cybex Venus, for example can be used in mono or double mode. The frame can be expanded to accommodate an additional seat. It's not the lightest of pushchairs however it does come with a large basket that can be placed 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 up to.
Other double tandem pushchairs, like the Joolz Geo 3, are capable of seating one over the other or side by side. The sleek, compact frame makes it easy to navigate through doorways and supermarket aisles. Some models can also be used on rough 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 can often include two carrycots, or a car seat, and a buggy seat. This allows you to create an entire travel system from the beginning and save money on separate purchases. It's important to keep in mind that tandems are heavier and longer than single pushchairs and may feel less stable when in bumping into kerbs or over uneven surfaces. They also have to be dismantled in order to fit into cars.
