What Is Pushchair? What Are The Benefits And How To Use It

Choosing a Double Pushchair Twin You need a double stroller to take your twins from A to B. Our range includes twin prams as well as buggies that are able to be set up in different ways to suit your needs. Find a stroller that can be folded in one step and easily lifted into your car. You could also opt for an ultra-lightweight design, particularly when you're on busy high streets. Side-by-Side These are the most common type of double pushchair and usually can accommodate two children together. They tend to be a bit wider than single pushchairs. This means they're less agile on the footpaths and may be a bit difficult to navigate through kerbs when a car seat is attached. However, the extra width can mean that they're often a lot easier to navigate through doors and are distributed more evenly making them less burdensome to carry on your back. Many models can be used from birth as twin prams and accommodate a carrycot or two car seats. Some models can be converted into one mode with a basket to the side (like the Cybex Venus). One of the most impressive examples of this is the Bugaboo Donkey 5 which, in Twin Mode, allows you to put the rear seat and a carrycot side by side. This creates a completely enclosed space for twins and is perfect for infants. The pram comes with very cool accessories, including the newborn cocoons that can be attached either facing towards the front or in any direction (for twin-facing prams). It's not as lightweight as some other options, but it's really cleverly constructed. Lightweight Cybex is renowned for its unique pushchairs, and the single-to double is no exception. Its clever frame expands widthways to accommodate two seats and you can use it as a twin from birth with the addition of two newborn cocoons (PS59 each) which provide enclosed, lie-flat areas for babies. The large shopping basket behind the seat allows it to be used in mono mode with just one child. double pram pushchair has a rear and front suspension to tackle bumps and uneven surfaces a little more easily. The top choice among our reviewers. Available in a variety of elegant colors. Tandem If you're planning to have twins, you should consider a pushchair that can allow the children to be seated together so that they can be able to see each other. They are great for trips to the zoo since the kids can watch the animals together. They're also ideal for parents who have to keep an eye on their toddler and the other eye on their infant because they can see both at the same time. Some tandem pushchairs are extremely flexible, as they can be converted to single mode. This is particularly useful for families with more than two kids (or just your eldest doesn't need a buggy anymore). This will help you avoid having to store a buggy that's empty which can be costly. For instance, the Cybex Venus can be used in mono or double mode and has a clever frame that expands widthways to accommodate an extra seat. It's not the lightest of pushchairs, but it offers a large shopping basket that is placed behind the front seat when in double mode (and at the back of the seat when it's mono mode). The seats can be placed so that they face each other, or one can be positioned higher up so it can see over the other and see 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. The slim, sleek frame makes it easy to maneuver through doorways and aisles of supermarkets. Some models can be used on rough terrain or as an exercise walk due to their wide rear wheels and four-wheel suspension. A tandem pushchair could also be used to carry two carrycots or a car with a buggy seat. This means you can create a travel system from the outset and save money on additional purchases. It's important to keep in mind, however, that tandems are heavier and longer than single pushchairs and are less stable when as you go over uneven surfaces. These pushchairs must also be dismantled for fitting into cars.
