5. Pushchair Projects For Any Budget

Choosing a Double Pushchair Twin

You require a double foldable stroller to transport your twins from A to B. Our range comprises of twin prams as well as double buggies that come in a variety of configurations to suit your family requirements.

Find a pushchair that folds with one step and is easy to lift into your boot. You might also want a lightweight design, especially if you're tackling busy high streets.

Side-by-Side

These are the most common type of double pushchair that can typically seat 2 children together. They are generally wider than single pushchairs, meaning they may be less nimble on footpaths and can be a bit difficult to navigate through kerbs with a car seat attached. However the extra width does mean that they're usually more comfortable to maneuver through doorways 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 pushchairs and accept a carrycot, or two car seats. Some models can be converted to one mode with a basket on the side (like the Cybex Venus).

The Bugaboo Donkey 5 is a excellent example of this. In Twin Mode, you can place the rear seat next to the carrycot. This creates a fully enclosed space for twins and is perfect for infants. The pram comes with amazing accessories, like the newborn cocoons, which can be put on either facing forwards or in any direction (for twin-facing prams). It's not as light as some other options, but it's extremely well-thought out.

Lightweight

Cybex is known for its nifty pushchairs and the single-to-double isn't an exception. The clever frame can be expanded to take a second seat and can be used it as a twin right from birth with the addition of two newborn cocoons (PS59 each) which create enclosed lie-flat spaces for infants. The large shopping basket behind the seat allows it to be used in mono mode with just one child. It comes with both front and rear suspension that allows it to handle bumps and uneven surfaces more easily. The top choice from our reviewers.

Available in a variety stylish colors.

Tandem

If you are planning to have twins, you'll need a tandem pushchair. This allows each child to sit and look at each one another. They are perfect for visiting the zoo since the kids can watch the animals together. They're also ideal for parents who need to keep one eye on their toddler and the other on their child since they can look at both of them simultaneously.

Some tandem pushchairs offer ultra flexibility since they can be converted back to single mode. This is especially handy for families with more than two kids (or only your oldest child doesn't need a buggy anymore). This will help you avoid having to store a buggy empty which can be expensive.

For instance the Cybex Venus can be used in mono or double mode and has a clever frame that expands widthways to accommodate a second seat. It's not the lightest pushchair car seat, but it has an ample basket that can be set behind the front seat in double mode, or at the rear when in mono mode. The seats can be positioned so that they face each other, or one could be placed higher so that it can look at the other and see what they are doing.

Some double tandem pushchairs like the Joolz Geo 3, are equipped to place one on top of the other or side-by-side. The sleek, compact frame makes it easier to maneuver through doorways and aisles of supermarkets. Some models can be used on rough terrain, or for a jogging path due to their large 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 build a best travel pram system right from the beginning and save money on separate purchases. It's worth remembering, however, that tandems are heavier and longer than single pushchairs, and are less stable when bumping up kerbs or going over uneven surfaces. These pushchairs also need to be dismantled for fitting into cars.
