How To Build Successful Pushchair Strategies From Home
Choosing a Double Pushchair Twin
You'll require a double stroller to take your twins from one place to B. Our range includes twin prams and buggies that can be set up in a variety of ways to meet your needs.
Choose a stroller which can fold in one step and then easily tucked away into your car. You may also prefer a lightweight design that's easy to maneuver and navigate especially if you have busy streets to traverse.
Side-by-Side
These are the most common type of double pushchair that generally can seat two children side-by-side. They're generally wider than single pushchairs. This makes them less agile on paths. It may also be difficult to navigate between kerbs when a car seat is attached. However, the extra width can mean that they're generally more comfortable to maneuver through doorways and are more evenly distributed making them less burdensome to carry on your back.
Many models are able to be used as twin prams, and can accommodate a carrycot or two car seats. Some can even be converted to one-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 put the rear seat and a carrycot side by side. This creates a totally enclosed space for twins and is perfect for babies. This pram comes with some amazing accessories, including the newborn cocoons, which can be put on either facing towards the front or in any direction (for twin-facing prams). It's not as lightweight as other options but it is really cleverly thought out.
Lightweight
Cybex is renowned for its nifty pushchairs prams and the single-to-double isn't an exception. The frame can be extended to accommodate a second seat. You can use the pushchair as a twin from birth by putting in two cocoons for babies that cost PS59 each. These cocoons create enclosed lie-flat spaces. It can also be used in an individual mode with only one child, thanks to a large shopping basket that sits behind the seat. It comes with front and rear suspensions which means it can take on bumps and uneven surfaces better. The top choice among our reviewers.
Available in a range of fashionable colors.
Tandem
If you're planning to have twins you will require a pushchair that is tandem. This allows both children to sit together and interact with each one another. They are ideal for trips to the zoo as the children can observe the animals together. They're also perfect for parents who must keep one eye on their toddler and the other eye on their infant since they can look at both of them simultaneously.
Some tandem pushchairs are incredibly flexible, as they can be converted to single mode. This is especially useful if you're planning to have more than two children (or just your eldest doesn't need a buggy anymore). This will prevent you from having to store a buggy empty which can be expensive.
For example, the Cybex Venus can be used in double or mono mode and has a smart frame that can be expanded to allow for an additional seat. It's not the tiniest pushchair but it has an ample basket that can be placed behind the front seat when in double mode, or in the back when it's in mono mode. The seats can be positioned to face each other or one can be set higher so that it can be able to look over the other and see what they're up to.
Other double tandem pushchairs prams pushchairs, such as the Joolz Geo 3 can seat one on top of the other or side-by-side. The sleek, compact travel pram frame makes it easy to maneuver through doorways and aisles of supermarkets. Some models can be used on rough terrain or as a jogging walk thanks to their large rear wheels and four-wheel suspension.
Another advantage of a tandem pushchair is that it can often take two carrycots, or a car seat, and buggy seat. This means you can create an entire travel system from the outset and save money on additional purchases. Be aware that tandems are heavier and longer and may appear less stable when bumping into kerbs or navigating uneven surfaces. These pushchairs also need to be dismantled for fitting into cars.
