Buying a Double Pushchair From Birth

A double pushchair is a fantastic option if you enjoy long walks with your toddler, and are planning to have a second child. There are many options available.

The majority of tandem buggies can be configured in a variety ways. For instance, some models have reversible seats that let siblings face each other or you.

Size

It's important to remember that double buggies are generally larger than single buggies. Make sure that the buggy is able to fit through the doors of your home and is capable of easily moving up and over the kerbs and steps.

Double strollers typically come in two basic forms that are tandem and side-by-side. Tandem buggies can be a great option for parents of twins, whereas side-by-side strollers are suitable for children of different ages and can often convert into single-to-double pushchairs by adding an extra seat or carrycot to the frame.

The majority of tandem buggies are constructed with seats facing one another. They also offer multiple seat configurations, permitting your children to view each other while they ride. If your children are old enough to get along (or at least not fight over who is the most comfortable seat!) you might discover that they're more comfortable side by side rather than facing one another.

A great option for families with twins or younger siblings who require to sit n stand double stroller together is the iCandy Venus. This attractive, affordable buggy can also be used in conjunction with an infant car seat so that it can expand with your family. To make sure your newborns are cozy and warm in their cocoons, iCandy includes extra accessories that rival brands charge for separately, like fleecy liners.

Another great option for growing families is the Egg2. This sleek pushchair is a favourite among image-conscious parents. It can be used as a single unit or in a double configuration thanks to its versatile frame, which has adaptors for adding a seat or carrycot. It's not the least expensive double stroller on the market but it has some unique characteristics that differentiate it from other strollers, such as the large shopping basket that is placed behind the seat in parent-facing mode.

Style

The majority of double buggies are heavier and bulkier than single buggies, so bear this in mind if contemplating buying a vehicle that will see you through many years. They have more storage space and a larger basket. These seats are also equipped with a child-facing seat as well as a sunshade which can be extended and an open window. They might also have seats that recline independently. Some even come with an adjustable foot and leg rests, which helps with any discomfort caused by long walks or extended periods of sitting.

Side-by-sides, and tandems are the most sought-after types of double buggy. Tandems place the children in a row, which gives them both the same view and may help avoid sibling arguments over who should sit where. But they're not foolproof, and kids can kick or punch each on the other while they're riding. Side-by-sides are a more traditional design, with two fixed seats that are affixed to a single-wide stroller frame. They might not have the same number of configurations and are generally recommended for infants who are comfortable sitting unaided but don't need the back support of a car seat.

Our lab experts recommend the Cybex venus if you are looking for a lightweight, double from birth. This clever model expands widthways in order to change from mono to twin mode, and can accommodate either two or more carrycots and/or infant seats. The compact folding design features a large shopping basket, rear and front suspension, and a large shopping bag for a more comfortable ride. The seats as well as the added RumbleSeat are cushioned and comfortable, with built-in adjustable foot and leg rests and large UPF 50+ canopy that provide plenty of shade.

Another good-value choice is the Baby Jogger City Mini GT2. Similar to the Venus one, it's a side by side pushchair that can be configured to suit your family. The pushchair can be configured to accommodate twins or an infant seat. You can also include the Baby Jogger Glider Board as a third child. The seat reclines independently and the City Mini GT2 features some of the most agile handling among double buggies with test drivers reporting it's easy to move between kerbs.

Comfort

The padding and fabric are a comfortable fit for both children and adults The UPF 50+ canopy is wide enough to provide real shade, and also offers a cute peekaboo window. Our test subjects also liked that the seat reclines at multiple angles. The only issue is that the fold isn't as compact as other models, but our lab experts believe it can be opened and closed easily.

Double strollers are typically heavier and bulkier as well as costlier than single to double buggy buggies. However, they're a great investment for families with two kids who are similar in age (generally less than 4 years old). They're also likely to be used for several years, so you should choose the best brand you can count on to last and will hold its value for a long time.

Tandem buggies are initially an individual pushchair, but they have adaptors that let you add a second seat, carrycot or (in certain cases) car seats to the frame. Some are fixed doubles, while others - like this one from Leclerc can be converted to a side-by-side configuration when your children are ready for it.

A side-by-side double buggy generally wider than other types however it is much more maneuverable over kerbs as the weight is distributed more evenly. It's not foolproof to prevent sibling fights. Children sharing the same seat may punch or kick one another while riding.

A front-facing tandem can be a good alternative to a side by side model for older children. It can also reduce the possibility of sibling rivalries as your kids are not directly in front of each other. It's worth noting that some kids may feel lonely or disengaged when they're in a front-facing tandem as they won't have the same view of the world around them.

The egg2 has a sleek modern design and attractive price tag. Our test subjects liked how easy it was to push but wished that it had more storage. They also wish the handlebars were more comfortable. It is suitable from birth and can be used as a twin stroller from the time of birth.
