10 Pushchair Hacks All Experts Recommend

Choosing a Double pushchair twin (from the ho-lundgaard-3.mdwrite.net blog)

You'll require a double stroller to transport your twins from A to B. Our range includes a range of twin prams as well as double buggies in various configurations to meet your family's requirements.

Look for a pushchair that folds in a single step and is easy to carry into your car. You might also want a lightweight design, especially if you're tackling busy high streets.

Side-by-Side

This is the most commonly used double compact pushchair. It usually seats two children side by side. They tend to be a bit wider than single pushchairs, meaning they are less agile on footpaths and can be a bit difficult to navigate up and down kerbs with a car seat attached. The extra width makes them easier to maneuver through doors, and they are more evenly distributed so that it is easier to carry around on your back.

Many models are able to be used as twin prams and accommodate a carrycot or two car seats. Some models can be converted into one mode by adding a basket alongside (like the Cybex Venus).

One of the best 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 ideal for newborns. This pram sale also comes with a couple of very cool accessories, including newborn cocoons which can be positioned to face either way (for twin-facing prams) or facing inwards (for a normal single). It's not as lightweight as other options, but it's extremely well-thought out.

Lightweight

Cybex is a brand known for its innovation, and this single-to-double pushchair is no different. The frame can be enlarged to accommodate an additional seat. It is possible to use the pushchair as twins from birth by putting in two newborn cocoons for a total of PS59. These cocoons create lie-flat areas that are enclosed. It is also possible to use it as a mono mode with one child thanks to a large shopping basket that is placed behind the seat. And it has front and rear suspension to tackle bumps and uneven surfaces more easily. Our reviewers selected this car as their top pick.

Available in a variety stylish colors.

Tandem

If you're planning to have twins, you need a tandem pushchair that allows children to sit together so that they can see each one another. They are ideal for activities such as 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 watch their toddler and baby simultaneously.

Some tandem pushchairs are extremely adaptable, as they can be converted to single mode. This is particularly useful when you are planning to have more than two children (or if your eldest child does not require the buggy anymore). This will save you from having to store a buggy that's empty which can be costly.

For instance for instance, the Cybex Venus can be used in double or mono mode and has a smart frame that opens wide to accommodate an extra seat. This isn't the heaviest of pushchairs, but it offers a large shopping basket that sits behind the front seat in double mode (and behind the seat in mono mode). The seats can either be positioned so that they face one the other or higher to see what each is doing.

Double tandem pushchairs travel systems, 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 supermarket aisles. Some models can also be used on uneven terrain, or for a jogging path due to their large rear wheels and four-wheel suspension.

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