Choosing a Double pushchair Twin,
muzikspace.com,
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 in various configurations to suit your family requirements.
Choose a stroller which can be folded in just one step and then easily tucked away into your car. You might also want a lighter design, especially if you're tackling busy high streets.
Side-by-Side
This is the most popular
double pram and pushchair pushchair. It usually seats two children side by side. They tend to be bigger than single pushchairs. This can make them less maneuverable on paths. It is also difficult to maneuver between kerbs when an automobile seat is installed. However, the extra width does mean that they're usually more comfortable to maneuver through doorways and are more evenly distributed making them easier on your back.
Many models can be used as early as birth as
twin pushchair prams and accommodate a carrycot or two car seats. Some models can be converted to a single mode with a basket to the side (like the Cybex Venus).
The Bugaboo Donkey 5 is a perfect illustration of this. In Twin Mode, you can put the rear seat alongside the carrycot. This creates a completely enclosed space for twins, and is perfect for babies. This
pram and travel system comes with some really cool accessories, including the newborn cocoons that can be positioned either facing towards the front or in any direction (for twin-facing prams). It's not as light as some other options, but it's extremely well-thought out.
Lightweight
Cybex is known for its nifty pushchairs and the single-to-double is no exception. The frame can be expanded to accommodate a second seat. You can use the pushchair as twins from birth by putting in two newborn cocoons for a total of PS59. These cocoons create enclosed lie-flat spaces. The large shopping basket that is behind the seat allows it to be used in mono mode for a single child. It also comes with rear and front suspensions that can handle bumps and uneven surfaces more easily. Our reviewers selected this car as their top pick.
Available in a variety fashionable colors.
Tandem
If you're planning to have twins, you should consider a tandem pushchair that allows the children to sit side by side and be able to see each other. They are ideal for activities such as visiting the zoo because the kids will be able to gaze at all the animals together. They are also great 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 at the same time.
Some tandem pushchairs are very adaptable, as they can be converted to single mode. This is especially useful if you're planning to have more than two children (or only your oldest child doesn't need a buggy anymore). This means you won't be left with an empty pushchair to put away, which can be costly.
For instance the Cybex Venus can be used in double or mono mode, and features a clever frame that can be expanded to allow for an additional seat. It's not the lightest of pushchairs, but it has an ample basket that can be placed behind the front seat when in double mode or at the rear when in mono mode. The seats can be set so that they face each other, or one can be positioned higher so that it can see at the other and see what they're 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 travel pram frame that makes them easy to navigate through doorways and supermarket aisles and some models can even be used as a jogging stroller or on rough terrain thanks to a four-wheel suspension as well as wide rear wheels.
A tandem pushchair could also be used to carry two carrycots or a car and buggy seat. You can save money by creating a travel system at the beginning and not making separate purchases. Keep in mind that tandems are more heavy and longer, and can appear less stable when bumping into kerbs or navigating uneven surfaces. They also tend to need dismantling in order to fit into cars.
