Choosing a Double Pushchair Twin (Www.Supredirect.Com)

If you have twins you need a double pushchair to get them from A to B. Our range of twin prams includes twin buggies that are able to be set up in various ways to meet your needs.

Choose a stroller that folds in a single step and is easy to lift into your car. You may also prefer lightweight designs that are easy to maneuver and navigate, particularly if you have busy streets to tackle.

Side-by-Side

They are the most popular type of double pushchair, and generally can seat two children side-by-side. They tend to be a bit wider than single pushchairs, meaning they are less agile on the footpaths and may be a little tricky to navigate through the kerbs with a car attached. However the extra width means that they're often a lot easier to navigate through doors and are more evenly distributed making them less burdensome on your back.

They can be used as twin prams from the beginning and a lot of models can accommodate a carrycot or two car seats. Some models can be converted into one mode with a basket on the side (like the Cybex Venus).

The Bugaboo Donkey 5 is a great example of this. In Twin Mode, you can fit the rear seat alongside a carrycot. This allows you to create an entirely enclosed twin space, which is perfect for newborns. This pram also comes with a number of very cool accessories, including the newborn cocoons, which can be positioned to face either direction (for twin-facing prams for sale) or facing inwards (for a standard single). It is not as lightweight as some other options however it's very cleverly created.

Lightweight

Cybex is renowned for its nifty pushchairs and the single-to-double is no exception. The frame can be expanded to accommodate another seat. It is possible to use the pushchair as twins from birth by adding two cocoons for babies, each costing PS59. These cocoons are enclosed and create lie-flat spaces. It can also be used as a mono mode with one child, thanks to a large basket that sits behind the seat. It has both front and rear suspension, so it can handle bumps and uneven surfaces better. Our reviewers chose this car as their top choice.

Available in a variety of stylish colors.

Tandem

If you are planning to have twins you will require a pushchair that is tandem. This will allow both children to sit together and interact with each other. They are ideal for activities like visiting the zoo, since the children will be able to look at all the animals together. They are also ideal for parents who need to monitor both their toddler and their baby at the same time.

Some tandem pushchairs are extremely flexible, as they can be converted to single mode. This is particularly useful if you plan to have more than two children (or in the event that your child who is the oldest isn't a need for a buggy any longer). It means you won't be left with an empty pushchair pram to store away and can be expensive.

For instance, the Cybex Venus can be used in both mono and double mode and has a clever frame that can be expanded to accommodate a second seat. It's not the lightest of pushchairs, but it does come with an enormous shopping basket that sits behind the front seat when in double mode (and at the back of the seat when it's mono mode). The seats can be set so that they face each other, or one can be positioned higher so that it can look over the other and observe what they're up to.

Other double tandem pushchairs, such as the Joolz Geo 3 can seat one on top of the other, or side-by-side. They feature a sleek, compact strollers frame that makes them easier to navigate through doorways and aisles of supermarkets and some models can even be used as a jogging stroller on rough terrain, thanks to a four-wheel suspension and wide rear wheels.

Another advantage of a tandem pushchair is that it can often take two carrycots, or a car seat and buggy seat. This means you can create a travel system from the outset and save money on separate purchases. Remember that tandems are heavier and longer, and they may be less stable when bumping into the kerbs or going over uneven surfaces. They also have to be dismantled for fitting into cars.
