Buying a Double Pushchair From Birth

If you love long walks with your toddler and are considering having an additional child, a double pushchair can simplify family life. There are plenty of choices to choose from.

The majority of tandem buggies can adapt to various configurations. For instance, some models have reversible seats that let siblings face each other or to the side.

Size

It is important to keep in mind that double buggies are generally larger than single buggies. This is why you must make sure that the buggy you choose fits through your home's doorways and can easily maneuver through kerbs, and up and down steps.

Double strollers typically come in two different styles: tandem and side-by-side. Tandem buggies can be a good choice for parents with twins. Side-by-side strollers work for children of all ages, and can be transformed into a single-to-double stroller with the addition of seats.

Most tandem buggies are built with seats facing one another. They also offer multiple seat configurations, permitting your children to view each other when they ride. However, if your children are old enough to be able to get along (or at least not fight over who has the most comfortable seat!) You may discover that they're more comfortable sitting in a row instead of facing each other.

A great option for families with twins or younger siblings who require to sit side by side is the iCandy Venus. This beautiful, affordable buggy can also be used with an infant car seat so it can expand with your family. iCandy includes extra accessories, like fleecy liners to ensure that your baby stays warm and snug in their cocoons.

Egg2 is a great alternative for families that are growing. This stylish pushchair, that is popular among parents who are conscious of their appearance It can be used as a single stroller or double stroller thanks to its adaptors, which allow you to include a seat or carrycot. It's not the least expensive double stroller on the market but it does have some distinctive features that set it apart from its competitors, including an enormous shopping basket that sits behind the seat in the parent-facing position.

Style

Most double buggies are heavier and bulkier than single models, so bear this in mind when looking to purchase a model that will see you through several years. However, they do offer more storage space, often with a bigger shopping basket. They also typically feature seating that is facing the parent, with an extendable sunshade and peekaboo window, as well with seats that recline independently. Some models include an adjustable foot and leg rest that can be adjusted to ease any discomfort that is caused by long walks or prolonged sitting.

The most well-known double buggy styles are side-bysides and tandems. Tandems are designed with children seated side-by-side, giving them the same perspective. This helps avoid sibling fights over seating. But they're not 100% secure, and children can kick or punch each other while riding. Side-by-sides are a more traditional model, featuring two fixed seats assembled on a single-wide stroller frame. They might not come with as many options and are ideal for infants that can sit unassisted but don't require the back support that comes with an infant car seat.

If you're looking to purchase a light double from birth our lab experts recommend the Cybex Venus. This innovative model can be converted from mono to twin mode by extending the width. It can be used to accommodate two or one infant seat or carrycots. The compact folding design features an enormous shopping basket, front and rear suspension and a spacious shopping bag for a more comfortable ride. The seats as well as the added RumbleSeat are padded and comfortable and come with adjustable foot and leg rests and large UPF 50+ canopy that offer plenty of shade.

Another option that is a good value is the Baby Jogger City Mini GT2. Like the Venus, it's a side-by-side pushchair that can be set up to fit your family. It is compatible with one car seat for infants, and you can add the Baby Jogger Glider Board for an additional passenger (though this limits the use to twins). The seat can recline independently, and the City Mini GT2 has some of the best maneuverability among double buggies. Testers reported that it was easy to maneuver up and down kerbs.

Comfort

The fabric and padding of the seat are both comfortable for kids. Additionally the UPF 50+ canopy are long enough to provide shade, and also have the cute peekaboo feature. The seat can recline in a variety of positions, too which our testers loved. The only downside to this model is that it's not quite as compact as other models. However our lab experts stated that it was easy to open and close.

Double buggies weigh more, are bulkier and more expensive but they're ideal for families who have two children of the same age (generally younger than 4). They're also likely to be used for a number of years, so make sure you choose an excellent brand that will last for a long time and that will keep its value.

Tandem buggies were originally one-person pushchairs, but they can be fitted with adaptors that permit the addition of an additional seat or carrycot or (in certain cases) an automobile seat to the frame. Some are fixed doubles but others, such as this one by Leclerc can be changed to a side-byside configuration once your children reach the age of.

While a side-byside is typically wider than other types of double buggy It can be a bit easier to move up and down kerbs as the weight is spread more evenly. However, it's not foolproof to prevent sibling rivalries; kids in the same seat can kick or punch each other when they ride.

A front-facing tandem is an alternative to a side-by-side model for older kids. It can be less prone to sibling squabbles, as your children don't face each other. It's important to remember that some kids can feel left out or isolated in a front-facing tandem because they don't have the same view of the world around them.

The egg2 has a sleek modern design, a contemporary style and an attractive price tag. Our testers loved the ease of use and push, but wished it had more storage and that the handlebars were a little more ergonomic. It's suitable from birth, and can be used in twin mode from newborn or in a combination of carrycot(s)/infant seats or car seat(s) for twins - it's the most flexible of our double buggies, which is the reason it's been a MadeForMums favorite since 2009. It's not the least expensive double stroller on the market however it's competitively priced and offers a great potential for resales.
