sale prams includes twin buggies that are able to be set up in a variety of ways to meet your needs.
Look for a pushchair that folds in a single step and is easy to carry into your car. You could also opt for a lighter design, especially when you're on busy high streets.
Side-by-Side
These are the most common type of double pushchair, and can typically seat 2 children together. They tend to be wider than single pushchairs. This means they are less agile on the footpaths and may be a little tricky to navigate between kerbs when a car seat is attached. The extra width makes them easier to maneuver through doorways, and they are more evenly distributed, so it is easier on your back.
Many models are able to be used as twin prams 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 great illustration of this. In Twin Mode,
folding stroller you can fit the rear seat alongside the carrycot. This creates a totally enclosed space for twins and is perfect for babies. This
pram sets comes with some very cool accessories, like the newborn cocoons that can be attached either facing forwards or in any direction (for twin-facing prams). It's not as light as some other options but it is extremely well-thought out.
Lightweight
Cybex is known for its nifty pushchairs and the single-to-double isn't an exception. The frame can be extended to accommodate a second seat. It is possible to use the pushchair as a twin from birth by putting in two newborn cocoons for a total of PS59. These cocoons create enclosed lie-flat spaces. The large shopping basket that is behind the seat can be used in mono mode for a single child. It comes with both front and rear suspensions which means it can take on bumps and uneven surfaces with ease. A top pick from our reviewers.
Available in a variety of fashionable colors.
Tandem
If you're planning to have twins, you want a tandem pushchair that allows the children to be seated side by side and look at each one another. They are ideal for activities such as visiting the zoo as the children will be able to look at all 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 since they can look at both of them simultaneously.
Some tandem pushchairs offer extreme flexibility as they can convert back to single mode. This is particularly useful for families with more than two kids (or only your oldest doesn't need a buggy anymore). This means that you won't be left with an empty pushchair to put away and can be expensive.
For example for instance, the Cybex Venus can be used in double or mono mode and has a clever frame that opens wide to accommodate an extra seat. It's not the tiniest pushchair, but it has an ample basket that can be placed behind the front seat when in double mode, or in the back when it's in mono mode. The seats can be positioned to face each other or one can be positioned higher up so it can see over the other and observe what they're up to.
Some double tandem pushchairs such as the Joolz Geo 3, are capable of seating one over the other or side-by-side. They have a sleek, compact frame that makes them easy to maneuver through doorways and aisles of supermarkets, and some models can even be used as a jogging stroller or on rough terrain, thanks to a four-wheel suspension as well as large rear wheels.
Another advantage of a tandem
pushchair sale is that it will often include two carrycots, or a car seat, and a buggy seat. You can save money by establishing a travel system at the beginning, and avoiding separate purchases. Remember that tandems are heavier and longer, and they may feel less stable when bumping up the kerbs or going over uneven surfaces. They also tend to need dismantling to fit into cars.
