The Reason Why Pushchair Is More Dangerous Than You Believed
Choosing a Double Pushchair Twin
You'll need a double stroller to take your twins from A to B. Our range includes twin prams and buggies that can be set up in different ways to suit your requirements.
Look for a pushchair that folds in a single step and is easy to put into your boot. You may also prefer a lighter design, especially in high traffic streets.
Side-by-Side
These are the most common type of double pushchair stroller, and usually can accommodate two children in a row. They are generally wider than single pushchairs. This means they are less agile on the footpaths and may be a little tricky to navigate between the kerbs with a car attached. However, the extra width does mean that they're usually easier to navigate through doorways and are distributed more evenly making them easier on your back.
Many models can be used as early as birth as twin prams travel system and will accommodate 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 place the rear seat and a carrycot side-by-side. This allows you to create a fully enclosed twin room and is perfect for babies. The pram set 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 is not as lightweight as other models but it's incredibly well designed.
Lightweight
Cybex is known for its ingenuity, and this single-to-double pushchair is no exception. Its clever frame expands widthways to accommodate two seats, and you can use it as a twin from birth with the addition of two infant cocoons (PS59 each) which provide enclosed, lie-flat areas for infants. The large basket of shopping behind the seat allows it to be used in mono mode with just one child. It has both front and rear suspension that allows it to handle bumps and uneven surfaces more easily. The top choice from our reviewers.
Available in a variety fashionable colors.
Tandem
If you're planning to have twins, you want a pushchair that can allow children to sit together and be able to see each other. They are ideal for trips to the zoo, as children can observe the animals together. These are also great for parents who wish to keep an eye on both their toddler and baby at the same time.
Some tandem pushchairs are incredibly adaptable, as they can be converted to single mode. This is particularly useful if you plan to have more children than two (or in the event that your child who is the oldest isn't a need for an extra buggy). This will help you avoid having to store a buggy empty which can be costly.
The Cybex Venus, for example, can be used either in double or mono mode. Its frame expands to accommodate a second seat. This isn't the heaviest of pushchairs, but it offers a large shopping basket that sits behind the front seat in double mode (and at the back of the seat in mono mode). The seats can be placed to face each other, or one could be placed higher up so it can see at the other and see what they are doing.
Some double tandem pushchairs like the Joolz Geo 3, are able to seat one above the other or side by side. They feature a sleek, compact frame that makes them easier to maneuver through doors and toddler Stroller supermarket aisles Some models can be used as a jogging stroller on rough terrain due to a four-wheel suspension and wide rear wheels.
A tandem pushchair can also be used to transport two carrycots, or a car and buggy seat. This means you can create an entire travel system prams system from the outset and save money on separate purchases. Remember that tandems are heavier and longer and may appear less stable when you bump into the kerbs or going over uneven surfaces. They also tend to need dismantling in order to fit into cars.
