The Most Effective Pushchair Tricks To Change Your Life

Choosing a Double Pushchair Twin

You'll need a double stroller in order to take your twins from one place to B. Our selection includes a variety of twin prams and double buggies that come in a variety of configurations to suit your family requirements.

Find a stroller that can be folded in just one step, push chairs and prams easily put into your boot. You may also prefer an ultra-lightweight design, particularly if you're tackling busy high streets.

Side-by-Side

These are the most common type of double pushchair that generally can seat two children together. They tend to be wider than single pushchairs, which means they are less agile on footpaths and can be a little tricky to navigate through the kerbs with a car attached. However, the extra width means that they're generally more comfortable to maneuver through doorways and are distributed more evenly making them less burdensome to carry around on your back.

Many models can be used from birth as twin prams, and can accommodate a carrycot or two car seats. Some models can be converted into one-mode with a basket to the side (like the Cybex Venus).

The Bugaboo Donkey 5 is a great illustration of this. In Twin Mode, you can put the rear seat next to the carrycot. This creates a totally enclosed space for twins and is ideal for newborns. The pram sets also comes with a number of really cool accessories, including the newborn cocoons, which can be attached to face either way (for a twin-facing pram) or facing towards the front (for a standard single). It's not as light as some other options but it is really cleverly thought out.

Lightweight

Cybex is a brand known for its innovation, and this single-to-double pushchair is no exception. The frame can be enlarged to accommodate another seat. It is possible to use the pushchair as a twin from birth by putting in two cocoons for babies that cost PS59 each. These cocoons create enclosed lie-flat spaces. It can also be used as an individual mode with only one child, thanks to a large shopping basket that sits behind the seat. It comes with both front and rear suspensions, so it can handle bumps and uneven surfaces better. The top prams choice from our reviewers.

Available in a variety of fashionable colors.

Tandem

If you're planning to have twins, you should consider a pushchair that can allow the children to sit close to each other, so they can be able to see each one another. They are perfect for visiting the zoo since the kids can watch the animals together. They are also ideal for parents who need to keep an eye on their toddler and baby at the same time.

Some tandem pushchairs offer ultra flexibility since they can be converted back to single mode. This is especially handy when you're planning to have more than two kids (or just your eldest doesn't need a buggy anymore). This will help you avoid having to store a buggy that's empty which can be costly.

For instance the Cybex Venus can be used in mono or double mode and has a clever frame that can be expanded to accommodate an extra seat. This isn't the heaviest of pushchairs, but it offers an enormous shopping basket which is located behind the front seat when in double mode (and in the back of the seat when it's mono mode). The seats can be set to face each other or one can be positioned higher so that it can look at the other and see what they're up to.

Double tandem pushchairs, such as the Joolz Geo 3, are able to seat one above the other or side-by-side. The sleek, compact frame makes it easy to maneuver through doors and supermarket aisles. Some models can also be used on rough terrain or for a jogging walk thanks to their large rear wheels and four-wheel suspension.

A tandem pushchair could also be used to carry two carrycots, or a car and buggy seat. You can save money by establishing an overall travel system from the beginning, and avoiding separate purchases. It is important to remember that tandems can be heavier and longer than single pushchairs, and may feel less stable when in bumping into kerbs or over uneven surfaces. They also tend to need dismantling in order to fit into cars.
