How To Build Successful Pushchair Guides With Home

Choosing a Double Pushchair Twin

If you have twins, you need a double pushchair to get them from A to B. Our range includes a range of twin prams and double buggies that come in a variety of configurations to meet your family's needs.

Look for a pushchair that folds in a single step and is easy to carry into your boot. You may also prefer a lighter design, especially if you're tackling busy high streets.

Side-by-Side

They are the most popular type of double pushchair, and generally can seat two children in a row. They are generally wider than single pushchairs. This means they may be less nimble on the sidewalk and can be a little tricky to navigate through kerbs with a car seat attached. However, the extra width can mean that they're usually easier to navigate through doors and are distributed more evenly making them more comfortable to carry on your back.

They can be used as twin prams from birth, and many models can be used with a carrycot or 2 car seats. Some models can be converted into one-mode with the basket (like the Cybex Venus).

The Bugaboo Donkey 5 is a excellent illustration of this. In Twin Mode, you can place the rear seat next to a carrycot. This lets you create an enclosed twin space, which is perfect for babies. The pram also comes with a couple of really cool accessories, such as the newborn cocoons, which can be put on the front or back (for a twin-facing pram) or facing inwards (for a normal single). It's not as light as other models but it's incredibly well designed.

Lightweight

Cybex is known for innovation, and this single-to-double pushchair is no different. The frame can be extended to accommodate an additional seat. You can use the pushchair as twins from birth by adding two newborn cocoons for a total of PS59. These cocoons create lie-flat areas that are enclosed. It is also possible to use it as mono mode with just one child, thanks to a large basket that sits behind the seat. And it has a rear and front suspensions that can handle bumps and uneven surfaces a little more easily. Our reviewers picked this car as their top pick.

Available in a variety of elegant colors.

Tandem

If you're planning to have twins, you need a tandem pushchair that allows the children to be seated close to each other and be able to see each other. They are great for trips to the zoo since the kids can look at the animals together. They are also ideal for parents who need to keep an eye on their toddler and baby simultaneously.

Some tandem pushchairs prams pushchairs offer extreme flexibility as they can convert back to single mode. This is particularly useful for families with more than two children (or when your oldest child doesn't require the buggy anymore). It means you won't be left with an empty pushchair that you need to store away which can be expensive.

For example the Cybex Venus can be used in both mono and double mode, and features a clever frame that expands widthways to accommodate a second seat. This isn't the lightest of pushchairs, however it comes with a large shopping basket that is placed behind the front seat in double mode (and at the back of the seat when it's mono mode). The seats can be placed to face each other, or one could be placed higher, so that it can look over the other and observe what they're up to.

Some double tandem pushchairs like the Joolz Geo 3, are equipped to place one on top of the other or side by side. The compact, sleek frame makes it easier to navigate through doorways and supermarket aisles. Some models can also be used on rough terrain or as a jogging path due to their large rear wheels and four-wheel suspension.

A tandem pushchair can also be used to transport two carrycots, or a car and buggy seat. You can save money by creating an entire travel system from the beginning and avoiding separate purchases. It's worth remembering, however, that tandems can be heavier and longer than single pushchairs, and may feel less stable when as you go over uneven surfaces. These pushchairs also need to be dismantled in order to fit into cars.
