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 a second child. There are many options to pick from.

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

Size

If you're purchasing a double tandem pushchair pushchair from birth it's worth bearing in mind that they are generally larger than single buggies. It is important to ensure that the buggy is able to fit into the doors of your home and is able to easily maneuver 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 a seat.

The majority of tandem buggies have seats that face each other and come in multiple configurations. This allows your children to be able to see each other while riding. However, if your children are old enough to be able to coexist (or at the very least not fight over who is the most comfortable seat!) You might find that they prefer facing one another rather than sitting next to each other.

A great option for families with twins or younger siblings who require to be seated side-by-side is the iCandy Venus. This stylish, budget-friendly buggy can also be used in conjunction with an infant car seat so that it can expand with your family. iCandy includes extra accessories, like fleecy liners, to ensure that your newborns stay warm and snug in their cocoons.

Egg2 is a great alternative for families who are growing. This stylish stroller is a favourite among image-conscious parents, and it can be used as a single or in a double thanks to its flexible frame with adaptors to add seats or a carrycot. It's not the most cost-effective double stroller, but it does have distinct features that make it stand out from other strollers. One of these is an enormous basket that can be placed behind seat when in the parent-facing position.

Style

Double buggies are heavier and bulkier than single buggies Be aware of this in mind when looking to purchase a model that will see you through several years. They have more storage space and a larger basket. 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 have an adjustable leg and foot rest that can be adjusted to relieve any discomfort caused by long walks or prolonged sitting.

Tandems and side-by-sides are the most popular styles of double buggy. Tandems are designed with children seated side-by-side, giving them the same view. This helps avoid sibling fights about where to sit. However, they're not foolproof, and kids are able to punch or kick each other while riding. Side-by-sides are a classic model, featuring two fixed seats assembled on one frame for a stroller. They don't offer the same number of configurations and are typically best for babies who are comfortable sitting unaided but don't yet need the back support of a car seat.

If you're looking for a lightweight double from birth Our lab experts recommend the Cybex Venus. This model is cleverly designed to expand widthways to switch from mono to twin mode, and can accommodate either two or one carrycot and/or infant seats. It's also compact when folded, and features a spacious shopping basket and rear and front suspensions for smoother travel. The seats and the optional RumbleSeat are cushioned and comfortable and come with adjustable foot and leg rests and generous UPF 50+ canopy which offer plenty of shade.

Another option that is a good value is the Baby Jogger City Mini GT2. It's a two-in-one pushchair, just like the Venus. It is possible to configure it to meet your requirements. It is compatible with only one infant car seat and you can also add the Baby Jogger Glider Board for an additional passenger (though this limits the usability to twins). The seat can recline independently and the City Mini GT2 has some of the best handling among double buggies. Testers said that it was easy to move through kerbs and up and down.

Comfort

The fabric and padding of the seat are comfortable for kids. Additionally, the UPF 50+ canopy are long enough to offer shade and have a cute peekaboo feature. The seat reclines in a variety of positions, too which our testers loved. The only drawback is that the fold isn't as compact double buggy as other models, however our lab experts believe it can be opened and closed easily.

Double strollers are generally heavier, bulkier and more expensive than single buggies. However, they're an essential investment for families with two children that are close in age (generally less than 4 years old). Choose a brand that is designed to last for many years and keep its value.

Tandem buggies are originally one-person pushchairs, but they can be fitted with adaptors that permit the addition of an additional seat or carrycot (in certain situations) an automobile seat to the frame. Some are fixed doubles, while others - such as this one from Leclerc can be converted to a side-by-side configuration when your children are ready for it.

Although a side-by-side is generally wider than other double buggy types It can be a bit easier to move through kerbs, as the weight is distributed more evenly. However, it's not foolproof to avoid sibling fights and children in the same seat can punch or kick each other while riding.

A front-facing tandem can be an alternative to a side-byside model for older children and may be less prone to squabbles between siblings, since your children aren't directly facing each the other. Some children may be a bit secluded in a tandem that is facing towards the front, since they don't have the same view.

The egg2 features 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 wanted the handlebars were more comfortable. It's suitable from birth, and can be used in twin mode from newborn, or as the combination of carrycot(s)/infant seats/car seat(s) for twins. It's the most flexible of our double buggies, which is the reason it's been a MadeForMums favourite since 2009. It's not the most affordable double buggy, however it is competitive in price and excellent sales.
