Why Pushchair May Be More Dangerous Than You Thought

Choosing a Double Pushchair Twin

You'll need a double stroller in order to take your twins from one place to B. Our range includes twin prams and buggies that are able to be set up in various ways to meet your needs.

Choose a foldable stroller which can fold in one step and then easily tucked away into your car. You may also want lightweight designs that are easy to maneuver and navigate especially if you have busy high streets to tackle.

Side-by-Side

They are the most commonly used type of double pushchair, and usually can accommodate two children in a row. They tend to be a bit wider than single pushchairs, which means they may be less nimble on footpaths and can be a bit difficult to navigate up and down kerbs with a car seat attached. The extra width allows them to move more easily through doorways, and they are more evenly distributed so that it is easier to carry around on your back.

They can be used as twin prams from birth and many models will take both a carrycot and 2 car seats. Some models can be converted to a single mode, with a basket beside (like the Cybex Venus).

One of the most impressive examples of this is the Bugaboo Donkey 5 which, in Twin Mode, allows you to place the rear seat and carrycot side-by-side. This allows you to create a fully enclosed twin space and is ideal for infants. This triple 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 for sale). It is not as lightweight as some other options, but it's really cleverly created.

Lightweight

Cybex is known for innovation and this pushchair that converts from a single to a double is no different. The frame can be expanded to accommodate an additional seat. It is possible to use the pushchair as twins from birth by putting in two cocoons for babies, each costing PS59. These cocoons are enclosed and create lie-flat spaces. The large basket of shopping behind the seat lets it be used in mono mode with just one child. It has both front and rear suspension that allows it to handle bumps and uneven surfaces with ease. A top pick from our reviewers.

Available in a variety of fashionable colors.

Tandem

If you're planning to have twins, you should consider a tandem pushchair that permits the children to sit together and be able to see each one another. They are perfect for visiting the zoo, as children can observe the animals together. These are also great for parents who wish to keep an eye on both their toddler and their baby at the same time.

Some tandem pushchairs offer extreme versatility as they can change back to single mode. This is especially useful for families with more than two kids (or only your oldest doesn't need a buggy anymore). It means you won't be left with an empty pushchair to put away, which can be costly.

The Cybex Venus, for example can be used in mono or double mode. Its frame expands to accommodate an additional seat. This isn't the lightest of pushchairs, but it does come with a large shopping basket that sits behind the front seat when in double mode (and behind the seat when it's mono mode). The seats can either be set up so that they face each other or higher up to see what the other is doing.

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

A tandem pushchair can be used to transport two carrycots, or a car and buggy seat. This allows you to create a travel system right from the beginning and save money on additional purchases. Be aware that tandems are heavier and longer and may be less stable when you bump into kerbs or navigating uneven surfaces. These pushchairs must also be dismantled to fit in cars.
