5 Pushchair Tips From The Professionals > 자유게시판

Choosing a Double Pushchair Twin

If you have twins you need a double pushchair to take them from A to B. Our range of twin prams includes twin buggies that can be set up in different ways to suit your requirements.

Choose a stroller which can be folded in one step and then easily tucked away into your car. You might also want an ultra-lightweight design, particularly in high traffic streets.

Side-by-Side

They are the most popular type of double pushchair, and usually can accommodate 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 between kerbs with a car seat attached. The extra width makes them easier to maneuver through doorways, and they are more evenly distributed so that it is easier on your back.

They can be used as a twin pram from the beginning and a lot of models can be used with a carrycot or 2 car seats. Some models can be converted to one mode with a basket to the side (like the Cybex Venus).

The Bugaboo Donkey 5 is a perfect illustration of this. In Twin Mode, you can put the rear seat alongside a carrycot. This allows you to create an enclosed twin room and is perfect for newborns. This running pram also comes with a couple of really neat accessories, such as the newborn cocoons that can be positioned to face either way (for twin-facing prams) or facing towards the front (for a standard single). It's not as lightweight as other options, but it's really cleverly thought out.

Lightweight

Cybex is known for its ingenuity, and this single-to-double pushchair is no exception. Its innovative frame expands widthways to take a second seat, and you can use it as a twin right from birth with the addition of two newborn cocoons (PS59 each) that provide enclosed, lie-flat areas for infants. It can also be used in mono mode with just one child, thanks to a large shopping basket that sits behind the seat. And it comes with rear and front suspension to tackle bumps and uneven surfaces more easily. It is a top pick among our reviewers.

Available in a range of elegant colors.

Tandem

If you're planning to have twins, you need a tandem pushchair that allows the children to sit close to each other, so they can see each one another. These are great for things like visiting the zoo, since the children can look at all the animals together. They are also ideal for parents who wish to monitor both their toddler and baby at the same time.

Some tandem pushchairs offer ultra versatility as they can change back to single mode. This is particularly useful if you plan to have more children than two (or in the event that your child who is the oldest does not require a buggy any longer). It means you won't have an empty pushchair with car seat that you need to store away, which can be costly.

For instance, the Cybex Venus can be used in both mono and double mode and has a smart frame that opens wide to accommodate a second seat. It's not the tiniest pushchair but it has an ample basket that can be placed behind the front seat in double mode, or at the back if in mono mode. The seats can either be placed so that they face one opposite or higher up to be able to see what the other is doing.

Double tandem pushchairs, such as the Joolz Geo 3, are equipped to place one on top of the other or side-by-side. They have a sleek, compact travel pram frame that makes them easier to navigate through doorways and aisles of supermarkets and some models can be used as a jogging stroller on rough terrain, thanks to a four-wheel suspension and wide rear wheels.

Another benefit of a tandem pushchair is that it can take two carrycots, or a car seat, and buggy seat. This allows you to build an entire travel system from the beginning and save money on additional purchases. Be aware that tandems are heavier and longer and may be less stable when bumping into the kerbs or going over uneven surfaces. They also need dismantling to fit into cars.
