Buying a Double Pushchair From Birth

If you enjoy long walks with your toddler and you are planning the birth of a second child, a double pushchair will simplify your family life. There are a variety of options to choose from.

The majority of tandem buggies are configured in a variety of ways. Some tandem buggies feature reversible seating that allows siblings to face each other or even you.

Size

It is important to keep in mind that double buggies are typically larger than single buggies. Make sure that your buggy fits through the doors of your home and is capable of moving easily between stairs and kerbs.

Double strollers typically come in two main formats such as tandem and side-byside. Tandem buggies can be the best option for parents with twins. Side-by-side strollers are suitable for children of all ages and can be converted to a single-to-double stroller with the addition of seating.

Most tandem buggies are designed with seats facing one another and offer a variety of seat configurations allowing your children to see each other as they ride. However, if your kids are close enough in age to get along (or at least not argue over who gets the best seat!) You may find that they're more comfortable together rather than facing one another.

A great option for families with twins or younger siblings who require to be seated side by side double stroller-by-side is the iCandy Venus. This beautiful, affordable buggy can also be used in conjunction with an infant car seat so it can grow with your family. iCandy includes extra accessories, such as fleece liners, which will ensure that your infants stay warm and cozy in their cocoons.

Egg2 is a great alternative for families who are growing. This stylish pushchair, that is popular with parents who are image-conscious and want to look their best, can be used as a single stroller or a double stroller due to its adaptors that permit you to include a seat or carrycot. It's not the most affordable double stroller on the market but it does have some distinctive characteristics that differentiate it from its competitors, including a large shopping basket that can be placed behind the seat in parent-facing mode.

Style

Double buggies are heavier and bulkier than single models, so bear that in mind if you're looking to purchase a model that will last several years. However, they do provide more storage space, typically with a larger basket for shopping. These seats are also equipped with a child-facing seat and a sunshade that could be extended, and a peekaboo window. They may also have seats that can recline independently. Some models include an adjustable leg and foot rest that can be adjusted to ease any discomfort caused by long walking or prolonged periods of sitting.

The most popular double buggy styles are side-bysides and tandems. Tandems are designed with children seated side-by-side with the same perspective. This can prevent siblings fighting over where to sit n stand double stroller. However, they're not completely safe, and children can kick or punch each on the other while they're riding. Side-by-sides is a more traditional format, with two fixed seats that are affixed to the same frame of a stroller. They may not offer as many configurations and are typically best for babies who have mastered sitting without assistance but don't yet need the back support of a car seat.

Our lab experts recommend the Cybex venus if you are looking for a light double from birth. This clever model can be changed from mono to twin mode by expanding the width. It can accommodate two or one infant seat and/or carrycots. It's also compact when folded and has a large shopping basket, as well as front and rear suspension for smoother travel. The seats include the RumbleSeat are cushioned and comfortable, as well as adjustable leg and footrests. They also come with a large UPF 50+ canopy that provides plenty of shade.

The Baby Jogger City Mini GT2 is another good value option. Like the Venus model, it's a side-byside pushchair that can be configured to suit your family. The pushchair can be configured to accommodate twins or a single infant seat. You can also include the Baby Jogger Glider Board as an additional child. The seat reclines independently, and the City Mini GT2 has some of the best twin stroller handling among double buggies. Testers reported that it was easy to maneuver through kerbs and up and down.

Comfort

The seat padding and the fabric are a comfortable fit for both children and adults The UPF 50+ canopy is wide enough to give real shade. It also offers a cute peekaboo view. The seat reclines in multiple positions, which our testers loved. The only drawback to this model is that it's not as compact as other models. However our lab experts stated that it opened and closed easily.

Double strollers are generally heavier, bulkier and more expensive than single buggies. However, they're a must-have for families with two kids who are close in age (generally less than 4 years old). Choose a brand that will last for many years and keep its value.

Tandem buggies start life as one pushchair. They come with adaptors that let you add another seat, a carrycot, or (in some cases) car seats to the frame. Some are fixed doubles, but others - like this one made by Leclerc can be converted to a side-by-side arrangement when your children are old enough to be ready for it.

While a side-byside is generally larger than other double buggy types It can be a bit easier to move between kerbs since the weight is spread more evenly. It's not a guarantee to avoid sibling fights. Children in the same seat could punch or kick each other while riding.

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 aren't directly facing each other. It's important to note that some kids may feel isolated or lonely in a front-facing tandem, because they don't have the same view of their surroundings.

The egg2 has a sleek modern design, a contemporary style and an attractive price tag. Our testers were impressed by how easy it was to push, but wished it had more storage and that the handlebars were more comfortable. It is suitable for babies and can be used as a twin stroller starting at newborn. It's not the most affordable double buggy available, but it has a competitive cost and an excellent sales.

Stores

A double pushchair will simplify life if you have more than one baby. There's a broad selection of double strollers on the market from tandems to side-by-sides in different colors and styles. But, you must be aware of your family's needs and the features that are important to you before buying a new one. By assessing your needs and preferences, you can narrow your options and select the most appropriate double pram.

A quality double buggy must be nimble and user-friendly. This is particularly crucial if you live in an urban area where you'll require an extra pram to traverse busy streets and squeeze into narrow doors for shopping and lunch days out.

The majority of the top double buggies are equipped with suspensions to cushion the impact of bumps and uneven surfaces. They also come with recline features for when your child wants to lie down. The seats should be able to adjust footrests and leg rests, UPF 50+ canopy with peekaboo window, and comfortable straps and buckles.

When choosing a cheap double pushchair stroller, you should also consider how compact the pushchair can be when folded. Some double buggies are designed to fold down into a compact size that is easy to carry and will fit in small spaces like cupboards. Some may be a bit heavier but will still be relatively easy to transport and store.

If you have a smaller budget, you can find some high-quality double strollers that will do the job. For instance, the Cybex Influencer can be used as a single stroller or a double single pushchair (dermandar.com), and it comes with a basket that sits underneath the seat in a parent-facing position. It is also light, can be folded flat and has a great resale value.

The UPPAbaby Vista is a good option for families since it can be configured with various seating arrangements and can accommodate two infant car seats. It has reversible seats so that your children can sit facing each other or the world and it can be equipped with a bassinet suitable for infants.
