How To Choose The Right Pushchair On The Internet

Choosing a Double Pushchair Twin

If you have twins you'll require a double pushchair in order to get them from A to B. Our range includes a range of twin prams as well as double buggies in various configurations to meet your family's needs.

Choose a foldable stroller which can be folded in just one step, and easily put into your boot. You might also want an ultra-light design that is easy to navigate and manoeuvre, particularly if you have busy streets to navigate.

Side-by-Side

This is the most commonly used double pushchair. It usually seats two children side-by-side. They tend to be wider than single pushchairs travel systems, which means they are less agile on footpaths and can be a little tricky to navigate through kerbs with a car seat attached. However the extra width means that they're often a lot easier to navigate through doorways and are more evenly distributed making them more comfortable on your back.

They can be used as twin prams from the beginning and a lot of models can accommodate a carrycot or two car seats. Some models can be converted to one mode with a basket to the side (like the Cybex Venus).

One of the most excellent examples of this is the Bugaboo Donkey 5 which, in Twin Mode, allows you to fit the rear seat and carrycot side by side. This allows you to create a fully enclosed twin space, which is ideal for infants. The pram is also equipped with a couple of really cool accessories, including newborn cocoons that can be put on face either direction (for a twin-facing pram) or facing inwards (for a normal single). It's not as light as some other options, but it's very well thought out.

Lightweight

Cybex is a brand known for its innovation, and this single-to-double pushchair is no exception. The frame can be expanded to accommodate another seat. You can use the pushchair as a twin from birth by putting in two newborn cocoons for a total of PS59. These cocoons are enclosed and create lie-flat spaces. It can also be used in an individual mode with only one child due to a large shopping basket that is placed behind the seat. And it has a rear and front suspension to tackle bumps and uneven surfaces more easily. Our reviewers picked this car as their top pick.

Available in a variety stylish 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 one another. They are great for trips to the zoo, as children can watch the animals together. They're also ideal for parents who must keep an eye on their toddler and the other on their child since they can look at both at the same time.

Some tandem pushchairs offer extreme flexibility since they can be converted back to single mode. This is particularly beneficial when you are planning to have more children than two (or if your eldest child isn't a need for a buggy any longer). This means that you won't be left with an empty pushchair that you need to store away and can be expensive.

The Cybex Venus, for example, can be used either in mono or double mode. Its frame expands to accommodate an additional seat. It's not the lightest of pushchairs however it does come with an ample 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 one the other or higher to see what each is doing.

Other double tandem pushchairs like the Joolz Geo 3 can seat one on top of the other or side-byside. The compact, sleek frame makes it easier to maneuver through doors and aisles of supermarkets. Certain models can be used on uneven terrain or as an exercise walk due to their wide 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. You can save money by creating an overall travel pram system from the beginning, and avoiding separate purchases. Be aware that tandems are heavier and longer and may feel less stable when bumping into kerbs and going over uneven surfaces. They also require dismantling to fit into cars.
