15 Of The Best Documentaries On Pushchair
Choosing a Double Pushchair Twin
If you have twins you'll need a double pushchair in order to get them from A to B. Our range includes twin good prams and buggies that can be set up in different ways to suit your needs.
Choose a stroller which can be folded in just one step and easily lifted into your car. You may also prefer an ultra-light design that is easy to navigate and manoeuvre especially if you have busy streets to navigate.
Side-by-Side
This is the most common double pushchair. It can usually seat two children side by side. They tend to be a bit wider than single pushchairs. This means they're less agile on the sidewalk and can be a bit difficult to navigate through kerbs when a car seat is attached. However, the extra width means that they're generally easier to navigate through doors and are more evenly distributed making them less burdensome to carry around on your back.
Many models are able to be used as twin prams and take a carrycot, or two car seats. Some models can be converted to one mode, with a basket beside (like the Cybex Venus).
The Bugaboo Donkey 5 is a perfect illustration of this. In Twin Mode, you can fit the rear seat next to the carrycot. This creates a completely enclosed space for twins and is perfect for infants. This pram for newborn also comes with a couple of very cool accessories, including newborn cocoons that can be positioned to the front or back (for a twin-facing pram store near me) or facing forwards (for a standard single). It's not as light like other options, but it's really cleverly designed.
Lightweight
Cybex is known for its ingenuity and this pushchair converts to a single is no different. Its innovative frame expands widthways to take an additional seat and can be used it as a twin from birth by incorporating the addition of two infant cocoons (PS59 each) which create enclosed lie-flat spaces for babies. It can also be used as a mono mode with one child thanks to a large basket that sits behind the seat. It comes with both front and rear suspension which means it can take on bumps and uneven surfaces better. Our reviewers picked this car as their top choice.
Available in a variety of fashionable colors.
Tandem
If you're planning to have twins, you need a tandem pushchair that permits children to sit close to each other, so they can see each other. They are perfect for visiting the zoo since the kids can watch the animals together. They are also ideal pram for newborn parents who want to keep an eye on their toddler and baby simultaneously.
Some tandem pushchairs are very adaptable, as they can be converted back to single mode. This is especially useful when you're planning to have more than two children (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 double or mono mode. The frame can be expanded to accommodate an additional seat. This isn't the lightest of pushchairs, however it comes with an enormous shopping basket that sits behind the front seat in double mode (and behind the seat in mono mode). The seats can be set so that they face each other, or one can be set higher up so it can be able to look at the other and see what they are doing.
Other double tandem pushchairs such as the Joolz Geo 3 can seat one on top of the other or side-by-side. They are sleek and compact frame that makes it easier to maneuver through doors and supermarket aisles, and some models can be used as a jogging or stroller on rough terrain, thanks to a four-wheel suspension and large rear wheels.
Another advantage of a tandem pushchair is that it can often take two carrycots, or a car seat and buggy seat. This allows you to create a travel pushchair system from the beginning and save money on separate purchases. Keep in mind that tandems are more heavy and longer, and they may be less stable when bumping up kerbs and going over uneven surfaces. These pushchairs also need to be dismantled to fit in cars.
