10 Pushchair Related Projects That Can Stretch Your Creativity

Choosing a Double Pushchair Twin

When you have twins, you need a double pushchair to take them from A to B. Our range of twin sale prams includes twin buggies that can be set up in a variety of ways to meet your requirements.

Look for a stroller that can fold in one step and easily lifted into your car. You might also want an ultra-light design that is easy to navigate and manoeuvre especially when you have busy streets to tackle.

Side-by-Side

They are the most commonly used type of double pushchair, and generally can seat two children together. They are generally wider than single pushchairs, meaning they may be less nimble on the sidewalk and can be a little tricky to navigate between kerbs with a car seat attached. The extra size makes them easier to maneuver through doorways and also 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 will take both a carrycot or two car seats. Some models can be converted into one-mode with an additional basket (like the Cybex Venus).

The Bugaboo Donkey 5 is a great example of this. In Twin Mode, you can put the rear seat next to the carrycot. This creates a fully enclosed space for twins and is perfect for infants. The babiie pram comes with really 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 other models but it's incredibly well created.

Lightweight

Cybex is known for innovation and this pushchair that converts from a single to a double is no different. The frame can be expanded to accommodate another seat. You can use the pushchair as a twin from birth by putting in two cocoons for newborns for a total of PS59. These cocoons create lie-flat areas that are enclosed. The large basket of shopping behind the seat allows it to be used in mono mode for a single child. It comes with both front and rear suspension, so it can handle bumps and uneven surfaces better. A top pick from our reviewers.

Available in a variety elegant colors.

Tandem

If you're planning to have twins, you need a pushchair that can allow the children to be seated together so that they can see each one another. They are great for trips to the zoo as the children can look at the animals together. They are also ideal for parents who wish to monitor both their toddler and their baby simultaneously.

Some tandem pushchairs are extremely adaptable, as they can be converted back to single mode. This is particularly useful when you are planning to have more children than two (or when your oldest child isn't a need for the buggy anymore). This means you won't have an empty folding pushchair to store away, which can be costly.

For instance for instance, the Cybex Venus can be used in both mono and double mode and has a clever frame that can be expanded to allow for an additional seat. It's not the lightest of pushchairs, but it has an enormous 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 set up in a way that they face each other or higher up to observe what each is doing.

Other double tandem pushchairs, like the Joolz Geo 3, are capable of seating one over the other or side by side. They are sleek and compact frame that makes them easier to maneuver through doors and aisles in supermarkets and some models can even be used as a jogging or folding stroller on rough terrain, thanks to a four-wheel suspension and large rear wheels.

A tandem pushchair can also be used to carry two carrycots or a car with a 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 they may be less stable when bumping into kerbs and going over uneven surfaces. These pushchairs also need to be dismantled for fitting into cars.
