How Pushchair Altered My Life For The Better

Choosing a Double Pushchair Twin

When you have twins, you need a double pushchair in order to get them from A to B. Our range of twin prams for newborns includes twin buggies that are able to be set up in a variety of ways to meet your needs.

Look for a my babiie stroller that can fold in one step and easily lifted into your boot. You might also want a lightweight design that's easy to navigate and manoeuvre especially if you have busy roads to navigate.

Side-by-Side

These are the most common type of double pushchair, and usually can accommodate two children together. They are generally wider than single pushchairs travel systems. This means they may be less nimble on the footpaths and may be a little tricky to navigate through the kerbs with a car attached. The extra size makes them easier to maneuver through doors and are more evenly distributed so that it is less burdensome to carry around on your back.

They can be used as twin prams from birth, and many models will take both 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 best travel stroller 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 lets you create an enclosed twin space and is perfect for babies. The pram comes with really cool 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). It's not as lightweight like other options however it's very cleverly created.

Lightweight

Cybex is known for its ingenuity, and this single-to-double pushchair is no different. The frame can be expanded to accommodate an additional seat. You can use the pushchair as a twin from birth by adding two cocoons for babies for a total of PS59. These cocoons create lie-flat areas that are enclosed. It can also be used in an individual mode with only one child thanks to a large shopping basket that is placed behind the seat. It comes with front and rear suspension which means it can take on bumps and uneven surfaces better. The top choice among our reviewers.

Available in a variety of fashionable colors.

Tandem

If you are planning to have twins, you'll need a tandem pushchair. This allows both children to sit together and see each one another. They are ideal for activities like visiting the zoo, since the children will be able to gaze at all the animals together. They are also great for parents who have to keep an 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 extremely flexible, as they can be converted back to single mode. This is particularly useful for families with more than two kids (or only your oldest does not require a buggy anymore). It means you won't have an empty pushchair to store away and can be expensive.

For example for instance, the Cybex Venus can be used in both mono and double mode, and features a clever frame that opens wide to accommodate an extra 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 at the rear when in mono mode. The seats can be positioned to face each other or one can be set higher so that it can look over the other and see what they are doing.

Some double tandem pushchairs such as the Joolz Geo 3, are equipped to place one on top of the other or side-by-side. The slim, sleek frame makes it easier to maneuver through doorways and aisles of supermarkets. Certain models can be used on rough terrain, or stroller compact for a jogging walk thanks to their wide rear wheels and four-wheel suspension.

Another advantage of a tandem pushchair is that it can include two carrycots, or a car seat, and buggy seat. This allows you to create a travel system from the beginning and save money on additional purchases. It's worth remembering, however, that tandems are heavier and longer than single pushchairs and may feel less stable when as you go over uneven surfaces. They also tend to need dismantling to fit into cars.
