How To Find The Perfect Pushchair Online
Choosing a Double Pushchair Twin
You need a double stroller to take your twins from A to B. Our range of twin prams includes twin buggies that can be configured in different ways to suit your needs.
Choose a stroller which can fold in one step and easily lifted into your car. You might also want an ultra-lightweight design, particularly if you're tackling busy high streets.
Side-by-Side
These are the most common type of double pushchair, and can typically seat 2 children together. They tend to be a bit wider than single pushchairs, which means they may be less nimble on the sidewalk and can be a little tricky to navigate between the kerbs with a car attached. The extra size allows them to move more easily through doorways, and they are more evenly distributed so that it is easier on your back.
They can be used as a twin pram pushchair from birth and many models can accommodate a carrycot or 2 car seats. Some models can be converted into one mode by adding the basket (like the Cybex Venus).
The Bugaboo Donkey 5 is a excellent illustration of this. In Twin Mode, you can put the rear seat alongside a carrycot. This creates a fully enclosed space for twins and is ideal for newborns. The pram comes with really cool accessories, like the newborn cocoons, which can be put on either facing towards the front or in any direction (for twin-facing prams). It's not as lightweight as other models, but it's really cleverly designed.
Lightweight
Cybex is known for its innovative pushchairs, and the single-to double is no exception. The frame can be expanded to accommodate an additional seat. It is possible to use the pushchair as a twin from birth by adding two cocoons for newborns, each costing PS59. These cocoons create enclosed lie-flat spaces. It can also be used in mono mode with just one child, thanks to a large basket that sits behind the seat. And it has a rear and front suspensions to take on bumps and uneven surfaces more easily. Our reviewers chose this car as their top choice.
Available in a range of stylish 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 trips to the zoo as the children can watch the animals together. They are also great for parents who must keep an eye on their toddler and the other eye on their infant because they can see both of them at the same time.
Some tandem pushchairs provide ultra flexibility as they can convert back to single mode. This is especially useful for families with more than two kids (or only your oldest child does not require a buggy anymore). This will prevent you from having to store a buggy empty which can be costly.
For instance, the Cybex Venus can be used in double or mono mode and has a clever frame that expands widthways to allow for an additional seat. It's not the tiniest pushchair but it has an ample basket that can be set behind the front seat when in double mode or at the rear when in mono mode. The seats can be set to face each other or one can be set higher so that it can look over the other and observe what they're doing.
Other double tandem pushchairs, like the Joolz Geo 3, are equipped to place one on top of the other or side-by-side. They are sleek and compact frame that makes them easier to maneuver through doorways and aisles in supermarkets, and some models can also be used as a jogging or stroller on rough terrain due to a four-wheel suspension as well as large rear wheels.
A tandem pushchair can also be used to carry two carrycots, or a car and buggy seat. This allows you to build a travel system from the beginning and save money on additional purchases. Keep in mind that tandems are more heavy and longer and may appear less stable when bumping into the kerbs or going over uneven surfaces. These pushchairs must also be dismantled in order to fit into cars.
