Buying a Double Pushchair From Birth

A double pushchair is a great option if you enjoy long walks with your toddler and are planning to have an additional child. There are numerous options to choose from.

The majority of tandem buggies can adapt to a variety of configurations. For instance, some models have seats that are reversible, allowing siblings to face one another or the other.

Size

It's important to remember that double buggies tend to be larger than single buggies. It is important to ensure that your buggy fits through the doors of your home and is capable of moving easily up and over kerbs and stairs.

double pram and pushchair strollers tend to come in two different styles such as tandem and side-byside. Tandem buggies are an excellent option for parents of twins, whereas side-by-side strollers can be used by children of different ages and are often converted into single-to-double pushchairs simply by adding a seat or carrycot to the frame.

The majority of tandem buggies are constructed with the seats facing one another. They also provide a variety of seat configurations, which allows your children to see each other while they ride. However, if your children are old enough to be able to get along (or at least not fight over who has the best seat!) You might find that they prefer facing each other than sitting next to each other.

A great choice for families with twins or younger siblings who need to sit and stand double stroller together is the iCandy Venus. This beautiful and affordable buggy also has the added bonus of being able to take an infant car seat too and grow with your family. iCandy includes extra accessories, such as fleece liners, which will ensure that your baby stays warm and snug in their cocoons.

Egg2 is a different option for families that are growing. This sleek pushchair, which is popular with parents who are conscious of their appearance, can be used either as a single stroller or double stroller due to its adaptors that allow you to include a seat or carrycot. It's not the most affordable double stroller, however it does come with unique features that set it apart from its competitors, including an enormous shopping basket that sits behind the seat when it is in the parent-facing position.

Style

Double buggies tend to be heavier and bulkier than single buggies Be aware of this in mind when contemplating buying a vehicle that will last for several years. They have more storage space and a larger basket. They typically also come with a parent-facing seat with a sunshade that can be extended and a the peekaboo window, aswell being reclining seats that can be reclined independently. Some have an adjustable leg and foot rest which eases any discomfort that is caused from long walks or long periods of sitting.

Tandems and side-by-sides are the most well-known types of double buggy. Tandems have the children positioned side by side with each other, giving them the same view and may help avoid sibling arguments about who sits where. They're not foolproof and children can still kick or punch one another while riding. The side-by-side format is more conventional and has two fixed seats positioned on a single, wide stroller frame. They may not offer the same variety of options and are generally ideal for babies who have mastered unassisted sitting but don't require 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 model is able to be changed from mono to twin strollers for newborns by expanding widthways. It can accommodate either 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 a more comfortable ride. The seats and the optional RumbleSeat are padded and comfortable with adjustable foot and leg rests and generous UPF 50+ canopy which offer plenty of shade.

The Baby Jogger City Mini GT2 is a different good value option. It's a two-in-one pushchair, just like the Venus. It is possible to configure it to meet your requirements. It takes only one infant car seat and can be paired with the Baby Jogger Glider Board for the third person (though this limits the use to twins). The seat reclines independently and the City Mini GT2 features some of the most agile handling of double pram and pushchair buggies, with testers reporting it's a breeze to manoeuvre between kerbs.

Comfort

The padding and fabric of the seat are both comfortable for children. Additionally, the UPF 50+ canopy are long enough to provide shade and have a cute peekaboo feature. Our testers also appreciated that the seat reclines at various angles. The only downside to this model is that it isn't nearly as compact as some models. However our lab experts reported that it could be opened and closed with ease.

Double buggies are larger, heavier, and more expensive, however they are an excellent investment for families who have two children who are similar in age (generally younger than 4). Choose a brand that will last for many years and will not lose its value.

Tandem buggies started out as a single pushchair, but they have adaptors which allow you to add an additional seat or carrycot (in certain instances) an automobile seat to the frame. Some of them are fixed doubles, however others - like this one from Leclerc - can switch to a side-by-side arrangement when your children are ready to do so.

While a side-byside is generally larger than other types of double buggy it is able to navigate between kerbs since the weight is distributed more evenly. However, it's not a guarantee for avoiding sibling squabbles and children in the same seat can 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 lessen the likelihood of sibling fights since your children aren't directly facing eachother. Some children might feel left out in a tandem that faces forward, as they don't have the same view.

The egg2 is sleek modern design and attractive price tag. Our test subjects loved how easy it is to push, but they would prefer it had more storage and that the handlebars were more comfortable. It's suitable for babies from birth, and can be used in twin mode as early as 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 why it's been a MadeForMums favorite since 2009. It's not the most affordable double stroller available, but it is competitively priced and offers a great potential for resales.

The best double buggies come with suspension that will soften the impact of bumps and uneven surfaces, as well as a recline feature for those times when your child is looking to sleep. Both seats should have adjustable foot and leg rests, a UPF 50+ canopy with windows that peek out, as well as comfortable buckles and straps.
