15 Pushchair Benefits That Everyone Should Be Able To

Choosing a Double Pushchair Twin

When you have twins, you'll need a double pushchair in order to get them from A to B. Our range includes twin prams as well as buggies that are able to be set up in different ways to suit your needs.

Choose a stroller that folds in a single step and is easy to carry into your car. You might also want an ultra-light design that is easy to navigate and manoeuvre especially when you have busy roads to navigate.

Side-by-Side

This is the most popular double pushchair. It can usually seat two children side-by-side. They are usually larger than single pushchairs. This can make them less agile on the footpaths. It may also be difficult to navigate between kerbs when an automobile seat is installed. The extra width allows them to move more easily through doorways and are more evenly distributed so that it is less burdensome for you to carry them on your back.

They can be used as twin prams for newborns from the beginning and a lot of models will take both a carrycot and 2 car seats. Some models can be converted into one mode with a basket on the side (like the Cybex Venus).

One of the most impressive 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. This pram comes with some really cool accessories, including the newborn cocoons that can be attached either facing forwards or in any direction (for twin-facing prams). It's not as lightweight as some other options but it's incredibly well constructed.

Lightweight

Cybex is known for innovation and this pushchair that converts from a single to a double is no different. The clever frame can be expanded to accommodate an additional seat and can be used it as a twin right from birth with the addition of two newborn cocoons (PS59 each) that provide enclosed, lie-flat areas for infants. It can also be used as mono mode with just one child thanks to a large basket that sits behind the seat. It comes with both front and rear suspensions, so it can handle 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 will require a pushchair that is tandem. This allows the children to sit together and interact with each other. They are perfect for visiting the zoo, as children can watch the animals together. They are also ideal for parents who need to watch their toddler and baby simultaneously.

Some tandem pushchairs are extremely flexible, as they can be converted to single mode. This is especially useful for families with more than two children (or only your oldest is no longer a need for a buggy). This means that you won't have an empty pushchair to store away which can be expensive.

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

Other double tandem pushchairs such as the Joolz Geo 3 can seat one on top of the other, or Pushchair With car seat side-by-side. They have a sleek, compact frame that makes it easier to maneuver through doorways and supermarket aisles and some models can even be used as a jogging or Pushchair Newborn stroller on rough terrain due to a four-wheel suspension and wide rear wheels.

A tandem pushchair can also be used to carry two carrycots or a car and buggy seat. This allows you to create an entire travel strollers system from the beginning and save money on additional purchases. Be aware that tandems are heavier and longer, and they may appear less stable when you bump into kerbs or navigating uneven surfaces. These pushchairs also need to be dismantled for fitting into cars.
