10 Healthy Pushchair Habits
Choosing a Double pushchair twin (try this website)
If you have twins you need a double pushchair to get them from A to B. Our range of twin prams includes twin buggies that are able to be set up in different ways to suit your needs.
Choose a babiie stroller which can be folded in just one step, and easily put into your boot. You could also opt for a lightweight design, especially when you're on busy high streets.
Side-by-Side
This is the most commonly used double pushchair car seat. It is usually able to accommodate two children side by side. They tend to be bigger than single cheap pushchairs. This can make them less maneuverable on the footpaths. It is also difficult to move between kerbs when the car seat is in place. The extra width makes them easier to maneuver through doors and also more evenly distributed, so it is easier for you to carry them on your back.
They can be used as twin prams for newborns from birth and many models can be used with a carrycot or two car seats. Some can even be converted to a single mode with an additional basket (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 an entirely enclosed twin space, which is perfect for newborns. This pram also comes with a couple of really neat accessories, such as the newborn cocoons which can be positioned to the front or back (for a twin-facing pram) or facing inwards (for a standard single). It's not as light like other options, but it's really cleverly designed.
Lightweight
Cybex is known for innovation, and this single-to-double pram pushchair pushchair is no exception. Its clever frame expands widthways to take an additional seat, and you can use it as a twin from birth with the addition of two infant cocoons (PS59 each) that create enclosed lie-flat spaces for babies. It can also be used as an individual mode with only one child, thanks to a large shopping basket that is placed behind the seat. It comes with both front and rear suspension that allows it to handle bumps and uneven surfaces better. It is a top pick among our reviewers.
Available in a variety elegant colors.
Tandem
If you plan to have twins, you'll require a tandem pushchair. This will allow both children to sit together and look at each one another. These are great for things like going to the zoo since the children will be able to gaze at all the animals together. They are also ideal for parents who want to monitor both their toddler and baby at the same time.
Some tandem pushchairs offer extreme 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 is no longer a need for a buggy). This will save you from having to store a buggy that's empty which can be expensive.
For example the Cybex Venus can be used in mono or double mode, and features a clever frame that expands widthways to accommodate an extra seat. It's not the lightest of pushchairs but it has an enormous 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 set up in a way that they face each other or higher up to see what the other is doing.
Double tandem pushchairs, such as the Joolz Geo 3, are equipped to place one on top of the other or side by side. They have a sleek, compact frame that makes them easy to maneuver through doorways and aisles of supermarkets and some models can be used as a jogging stroller or on rough terrain, thanks to a four-wheel suspension and wide rear wheels.
Another benefit of a tandem pushchair is that it can often take 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 additional purchases. Remember that tandems are heavier and longer, and they may appear less stable when bumping into the kerbs or going over uneven surfaces. These pushchairs also need to be dismantled to fit in cars.
