How To Create Successful Pushchair Strategies From Home

Choosing a Double Pushchair Twin

You require a double stroller to take your twins 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 foldable pushchair that folds with one step and is easy to carry into your boot. You may also want an ultra-light design that is easy to navigate and manoeuvre especially if you have busy roads to tackle.

Side-by-Side

This is the most common double pushchair. It usually seats two children side by side. They are generally wider than single pushchairs, which means they're less agile on the sidewalk and can be a little tricky to navigate through kerbs with a car seat attached. The extra size makes them easier to maneuver through doors, and they are more evenly distributed so that it is easier on your back.

They can be used as a twin pram and car seat from the beginning and a lot of models will take both a carrycot or two car seats. Some can even be converted to one-mode with the basket (like the Cybex Venus).

The Bugaboo Donkey 5 is a perfect example of this. In Twin Mode, you can put the rear seat next to the carrycot. This creates an entirely enclosed twin space and is perfect for babies. This pram comes with some amazing accessories, such as the newborn cocoons, which can be put on either facing toward the forward direction or in any direction (for twin-facing prams pushchairs prams pushchairs). It is not as lightweight as some other options however it's very cleverly created.

Lightweight

Cybex is renowned for its unique pushchairs, and the single-to double is no exception. Its clever frame expands widthways to accommodate an additional seat and can be used it as a twin from birth with the addition of two newborn cocoons (PS59 each) that create enclosed lie-flat spaces for babies. The large shopping basket behind the seat lets it be used in mono mode for one child. It comes with both front and rear suspensions which means it can take on bumps and uneven surfaces better. Our reviewers selected this car as their top pick.

Tandem

If you're planning to have twins, you should consider a pushchair that can allow the children to sit together, so they can be able to see each other. They are perfect for visiting the zoo since the kids 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 at the same time.

Some tandem pushchairs are extremely adaptable, as they can be converted to single mode. This is particularly useful when you are planning to have more than two children (or when your oldest child isn't a need for an extra buggy). This will help you avoid having to store a buggy that's empty, which can be expensive.

The Cybex Venus, for example is a model that can be used in mono or double mode. The frame can be expanded to allow for an additional seat. This isn't the lightest of pushchairs, but it does come with a large basket for shopping which is located behind the front seat when in double mode (and at the back of the seat in mono mode). The seats can be placed so that they face each other, or one could be placed higher, so that it can look at the other and see what they are doing.

Other double tandem pushchairs such as the Joolz Geo 3 can seat one on top of the other or side-byside. They have a sleek, compact frame that makes it easier to maneuver through doors and aisles in supermarkets, and some models can even be used as a jogging stroller on rough terrain, thanks to a four-wheel suspension and large rear wheels.

Another advantage of a tandem pushchair is that it can often use two carrycots or a car seat, and a buggy seat. This means you can create a travel system right from the outset and save money on separate purchases. It's worth remembering, however, that tandems can be heavier and longer than single pushchairs, and are less stable when bumping up kerbs or going over uneven surfaces. These pushchairs must also be dismantled for fitting into cars.
