7 Helpful Tips To Make The Most Of Your Pushchair

Choosing a Double pushchair Twin (Telegra.ph)

You require a double stroller to take your twins from A to B. Our range includes a range of twin prams for newborns as well as double buggies that come in a variety of configurations to meet your family's needs.

Look for a pushchair that folds in one step and is easy to carry into your car. You may also prefer a lightweight design, especially in high traffic streets.

Side-by-Side

This is the most commonly used double pushchair. It usually seats two children side-by-side. They are usually bigger than single pushchairs. This makes them less agile on paths. It is also difficult to maneuver between kerbs when an automobile seat is installed. However, the extra width can mean that they're often a lot easier to navigate through doors and are distributed more evenly making them less burdensome to carry on your back.

They can be used as a twin pram from birth, and many models can accommodate a carrycot or two car seats. Some can even convert into one-mode with a basket alongside (like the Cybex Venus).

One of the most impressive 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 lets you create an enclosed twin space, which is perfect for babies. The pram comes with very cool accessories, including the newborn cocoons that can be attached 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 really cleverly constructed.

Lightweight

Cybex is a brand known for its innovation and this pushchair converts to a single is no different. Its clever frame expands widthways to accommodate an additional seat and you can use 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 can be used in mono mode for a single child. It comes with both front and rear suspension that allows it to handle bumps and uneven surfaces with ease. Our reviewers picked this car as their top choice.

Available in a variety fashionable colors.

Tandem

If you're planning to have twins, you'll require a tandem pushchair. This allows the children to sit together and look at each other. They are perfect for visiting the zoo since the kids can watch the animals together. They are also ideal for parents who want to keep an eye on both their toddler and their baby stroller simultaneously.

Some tandem pushchairs offer extreme flexibility since they can be converted back to single mode. This is especially useful when you are planning to have more children than two (or in the event that your child who is the oldest isn't a need for an extra buggy). This means that you won't have an empty running pushchair that you need to store away which 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 expands widthways to accommodate an extra seat. This isn't the lightest of pushchairs, but it does come with an enormous shopping basket that is placed behind the front seat in double mode (and at the back of the seat in mono mode). The seats can be positioned to face each other, or one can be set higher, so that it can be able to look over the other and observe what they're up to.

Other double tandem pushchairs, like the Joolz Geo 3, are capable of seating one over the other or side by side. The slim, sleek frame makes it easy to navigate through doorways and aisles in supermarkets. Some models can also be used on uneven terrain or as an exercise walk due to their large rear wheels and four-wheel suspension.

Another benefit of a tandem pushchair is that it will often take two carrycots, or a car seat and buggy seat. This means you can create a travel system right from the outset and save money on separate purchases. Remember that tandems are heavier and longer, and they may appear less stable when you bump into kerbs and going over uneven surfaces. They also have to be dismantled for fitting into cars.
