Buying a Double Pushchair From Birth

If you enjoy long walks with your toddler and are planning an additional child, a double pushchair will simplify your family's life. There are many options to pick from.

The majority of tandem buggies are set up in a variety of ways. For example, some have seats that are reversible, allowing siblings to face each other or you.

Size

It's important to keep in mind that double buggies are typically larger than single buggies. This is why it's important to ensure that your chosen buggy fits through your home's doors and can easily go between kerbs and steps.

Double strollers typically come in two different styles: tandem and side-by-side. Tandem buggies are the best option for parents with twins. Side-by-side strollers are suitable for children of all ages, and can be converted into a double-sized stroller by adding seating.

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

The iCandy Venus is a great option for families with twins, or younger siblings that require seating together. This attractive, affordable buggy can also be used with an infant car seat so it can expand with your family. iCandy includes extra accessories, such as fleecy liners to ensure that your infants stay warm and snug in their cocoons.

Egg2 is another great option for families growing. This stylish pushchair, which is popular with parents who are conscious of their appearance and want to look their best, can be used as a single stroller or a cheap double stroller stroller due to its adaptors, which allow you to include a seat or carrycot. It's not the most affordable double stroller, but it has some distinctive features that distinguish it from competitors, including the large shopping basket that sits behind the seat when it is in parent-facing mode.

Style

Double buggies tend to be larger and heavier. If you plan to buy one that you intend to use for several years, keep this in mind. They have more storage space and a bigger basket. These seats are also equipped with a parent facing seat, a sunshade that can be extended and a peekaboo window. They might also include seats that can recline independently. Some models include an adjustable leg and foot rest that can be adjusted to relieve any discomfort that is caused by long walking or prolonged periods of sitting.

Side-by-sides, and tandems are the most popular styles of double buggy. Tandems are designed to have the children seated side-by-side and sharing the same perspective. This can help avoid sibling rivalries about where to sit. However, they're not 100% secure, and children can kick or punch each one another while riding. Side-by-side is more conventional, with two fixed seats that are mounted on a single stroller frame. They don't offer the same variety of options, and they're usually best for babies who are comfortable sitting unaided but don't require the back support of an infant car seat.

Our lab experts recommend the Cybex venus if you are seeking a light, double from birth. This model is able to be changed from mono to twin mode by extending the width. It can be used to accommodate two or one infant seat and/or carrycots. It's also compact when folded and features a spacious shopping basket, as well as rear and front suspensions for a more comfortable ride. The seats which include the RumbleSeat are cushioned and comfortable, as well as adjustable foot and leg rests. They also have a large UPF 50+ canopy that provides plenty of shade.

The Baby Jogger City Mini GT2 is a similar value product. It's a side by side pushchair, similar to the Venus. You can set it to suit your needs. The pushchair can be set up to accommodate twins or a single infant seat. You can also include the Baby Jogger Glider Board as an additional child. The seat can recline independently and the City Mini GT2 has some of the best handling among double buggies. Testers noted that it was easy to maneuver through kerbs and up and down.

Comfort

The padding and fabric are comfortable for both kids and adults and adults, and the UPF 50+ canopy is long enough to offer real shade and offers a cute peekaboo view. Our test participants also loved that the seat reclines at a variety of angles. The only issue with this model is that it's not nearly as compact as some models. However, our lab experts said it was easy to open and close.

Double strollers are traditionally heavier, bulkier and more expensive than single buggies, however they're an essential investment for families with two kids that are close in age (generally less than 4 years old). They're also likely to be used for several years, so make sure you choose an excellent brand that you can count on to last for a long time and that will keep its value for a long time.

Tandem buggies begin as one pushchair. They come with adaptors that allow you to add an additional seat, carrycot, or (in some cases) car seats to the frame. Some are fixed doubles, but others, such as this one by Leclerc can be converted into a side-by-side layout once your children are old enough.

While a side-by-side is typically wider than other types of double buggy It can be a bit easier to navigate through kerbs, as the weight is spread more evenly. It's not a guarantee to prevent sibling fights. Children sharing a seat may punch or kick each other while riding.

A front-facing tandem can be an excellent alternative to a side by side model for older children. It can also lessen the likelihood of sibling fights as your kids are not directly in front of each other. It's important to note that some children may feel left out or isolated when they're in a front-facing tandem as they won't have the same view of their surroundings.

The egg2 has a sleek, modern design and an attractive price tag. Our testers were impressed by how easy it is to push, but wished it had more storage space and that the handlebars were a little more ergonomic. It's suitable from birth and can be used as a twin stroller from the time of birth. It is not the cheapest double buggy, but it comes with a competitive cost and an excellent sales.

Stores

A double pushchair can simplify your life if you have more than one baby. There are a variety of double strollers, ranging from tandems to side by sides in various styles and colours. Before you purchase a product it is important to consider your family's lifestyle as well as the features that are most important to you. By assessing your requirements and preferences, you can narrow your options and choose the most suitable double pram.

A quality double buggy should be quick and easy to maneuver. It should be lightweight. This is particularly important for those who live in a city area where you require a smallest double buggy buggy that can maneuver through busy streets and fit through narrow doorways to go shopping or on lunch runs.

The majority of the top double buggies have suspensions to cushion the impact of bumps and uneven surfaces. They also have recline features to let your child to nap. Both seats should have adjustable leg and footrests, UPF 50+ canopy, with a peekaboo window, and comfy straps and buckles.

Another aspect to consider when deciding on a double pushchair is how compact it is when folded. Some double buggies are designed to fold up into smaller sizes that are easy to carry and will fit into small spaces such as cupboards. Others might be heavier but they will be easy to transport and store.

If you're on an extremely tight budget, you can find double strollers at an affordable price. For example, the Cybex Influencer can be used as a single or a double, and it includes a basket that sits underneath the seat in a parent-facing position. It's lightweight, folds flat, and has a very high resale cost.

The UPPAbaby Vista is also an ideal option for families since it can be set up with various seating arrangements and accommodates two infant car seats. It has reversible seats to allow your children to face one another or the world, and it can also be fitted with a bassinet that is suitable for newborns.
