Why Pushchair Still Matters In 2023

Choosing a Double Pushchair Twin When you have twins, you'll require a double pushchair in order to get them from A to B. Our selection includes a variety of twin prams and double buggies that come in a variety of configurations to meet your family's needs. Look for a stroller that can be folded in one step and easily lifted into your boot. You may also prefer lightweight designs that are easy to navigate and manoeuvre especially if you have busy streets to navigate. Side-by-Side This is the most common double pushchair. It usually seats two children side-by-side. They are usually bigger than single pushchairs. This can make them less maneuverable on footpaths. It may also be difficult to navigate between kerbs when a car seat is attached. However, the extra width can mean that they're usually easier to navigate through doors and are more evenly distributed making them easier 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 can even convert into one mode by adding 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 place the rear seat and a carrycot side by side. This creates a completely enclosed space for twins, and is perfect for babies. This pram is also equipped with a couple of really neat accessories, such as the newborn cocoons that can be positioned to face either way (for a twin-facing pram) or facing towards the front (for a standard single). It's not as lightweight as other options but it is extremely well-thought out. Lightweight Cybex is known for its unique pushchairs, and the single-to-double isn't an exception. The clever frame can be expanded to take a second seat, and you can use it as a twin right from birth by incorporating the addition of two newborn cocoons (PS59 each) which provide enclosed, lie-flat areas for babies. It can also be used in an individual mode with only one child, thanks to a large basket that sits behind the seat. It comes with both front and rear suspensions, so it can handle bumps and uneven surfaces more easily. Our reviewers picked this car as their top choice. Available in a range of elegant colors. Pushchairs And Prams If you're planning to have twins, you want a pushchair that can allow the children to be seated close to each other, so they can look at each one another. They are great for trips to the zoo as the children can observe the animals together. They are also ideal for parents who wish to keep an eye on their toddler and baby simultaneously. Some tandem pushchairs are very flexible, as they can be converted back to single mode. This is particularly useful when you're planning to have more than two kids (or only your oldest child does not require a buggy anymore). It means you won't have an empty pushchair that you need to store away, which can be costly. The Cybex Venus, for example, can be used either in mono or double mode. The frame can be expanded to allow for an additional seat. It's not the lightest pushchair but it has a large basket that can be placed behind the front seat when in double mode or in the back when it's in mono mode. The seats can be set so that they face each other, or one can be positioned higher so that it can see over the other and see what they're up to. Other double tandem pushchairs like the Joolz Geo 3 can seat one on top of the other or side-byside. The sleek, compact frame makes it easy to maneuver through doorways and supermarket aisles. Some models can also be used on uneven terrain or as a jogging walk thanks to their wide rear wheels and four-wheel suspension. A tandem pushchair can also be used to carry two carrycots, or a car and buggy seat. This allows you to create a travel system from the outset and save money on additional purchases. It's worth remembering that tandems can be heavier and longer than single pushchairs, and may feel less stable when bumping up kerbs or going over uneven surfaces. They also need dismantling in order to fit into cars.
