Why Pushchair Is Fast Becoming The Hottest Trend Of 2023
Choosing a Double pushchair twin (click the following article)
When you have twins, you need a double pushchair to take them from A to B. Our range includes twin prams and buggies that can be set up in different ways to suit your needs.
Find a pushchair that folds in a single step and is easy to carry into your car. You might also want a lightweight design that's easy to maneuver and navigate especially when you have busy streets to tackle.
Side-by-Side
This is the most common double pushchair. It is usually able to accommodate two children side by side. They tend to be wider than single pushchairs. This makes them less agile on footpaths. It may also be difficult to navigate up and down kerbs when the car seat is in place. The extra size makes them easier to maneuver through doors and also more evenly distributed, so it is less burdensome on your back.
Many models are able to be used as twin prams and accept 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 a carrycot side-by-side. This creates a completely enclosed space for twins and is perfect for babies. This best travel pram comes with some amazing accessories, including the newborn cocoons that can be positioned either facing forwards or in any direction (for twin-facing prams). It's not as lightweight as other options, but it's really cleverly thought out.
Lightweight
Cybex is known for its unique pushchairs, and the single-to double is no exception. Its innovative frame expands widthways to accommodate an additional seat and can be used it as a twin right from birth, thanks to the addition of two newborn cocoons (PS59 each) that create enclosed lie-flat spaces for infants. 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 has both front and rear suspensions which means it can take on bumps and uneven surfaces with ease. Our reviewers chose this car as their top pick.
Available in a variety of fashionable colors.
Tandem
If you're planning to have twins, you'll require a pushchair car seat that is tandem. This will allow each child to sit and interact with each other. They are ideal for activities like going to the zoo because the kids can look at all the animals together. They're also perfect for parents who need to keep an eye on their toddler and the other on their baby because they can see both at the same time.
Some tandem pushchairs offer ultra flexibility as they can convert back to single mode. This is particularly beneficial for families with more than two children (or in the event that your child who is the oldest doesn't require the buggy anymore). It means you won't have an empty pushchair to put away, which can be costly.
The Cybex Venus, for example can be used in double or mono mode. The frame can be expanded to accommodate a second seat. It's not the lightest of pushchairs however it does come with a large basket that can be placed behind the front seat in double mode, or in the back when it's in mono mode. The seats can be placed to face each other, or one can be set higher, so that it can see over 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 feature 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 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. This means you can create an entire travel pushchair system from the beginning and save money on additional purchases. It is important to remember, however, that tandems can be heavier and longer than single pushchairs and can feel less stable as you go over uneven surfaces. They also have to be dismantled for fitting into cars.
