Buying a Double Pushchair From Birth

A double pushchair is an excellent option if you love long walks with your toddler and plan to have an additional child. There are many options to choose from.

The majority of tandem buggies are configured in a variety ways. Some tandem buggies have seats that are reversible, allowing siblings to be facing one another, or you.

Size

It's important to keep in mind that double buggies are generally larger than single buggies. It is important to ensure that your buggy can fit through the doors of your home and is able to easily maneuver between the kerbs and steps.

Double strollers come in two different designs: tandem and side by side. Tandem buggies can be a good choice for parents with twins. Side-by-side strollers are suitable for children of all ages and can be converted to a double-sized stroller by adding a seat.

Most tandem buggies are designed with the seats facing one another and provide a variety of seat configurations, allowing your children to see each other when they ride. However, if your kids are close enough in age to get along (or at least not fight over who is the best seat!) you might discover that they're more at ease sitting side by side rather than facing each other.

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

Another great option for expanding families is the Egg2. This stylish pushchair, which is popular with parents who are a bit glam It can be used as a single stroller or a double stroller because of its adaptors that permit you to include a seat or carrycot. It's not the least expensive double stroller on the market but it does have some distinctive features that distinguish it from other strollers, such as an enormous shopping basket that sits behind the seat when it is in the parent-facing position.

Style

Most double stroller with infant car seat buggies tend to be heavier and bulkier than single buggies So keep this in mind if looking to purchase a model that will last many years. They have more storage space and a larger basket. They also typically feature a parent-facing seat with an extendable sunshade as well as a peekaboo window, as well as seats that recline independently. Some have an adjustable foot and leg rests that eases any discomfort caused by long walks or extended periods of sitting.

Tandems, side-by-sides and tandems are the most sought-after types of double buggy. Tandems are designed to have the children sitting side-by-side with the same perspective. This helps avoid siblings fighting about where to sit. But they're not completely safe, and children are able to punch or kick each other while riding. The side-by-side model is more conventional, with two fixed seats that are mounted on a single, wide stroller frame. They might not have as many configurations and are typically ideal for babies who have mastered unassisted sitting but don't need the back support of a car seat.

Our lab experts recommend the Cybex venus if you are seeking a light, double from birth. This model is cleverly designed to expand widthways in order to change from mono to twin mode, and can accommodate either two or more carrycots and/or infant seats. It's also compact when folded, and comes with a large shopping basket as well as front and rear suspension for a more comfortable ride. The seats which include the RumbleSeat, are padded and comfortable, as well as adjustable foot and leg rests. They also come with a generous UPF 50+ canopy, which provides plenty of shade.

The Baby Jogger City Mini GT2 is another good value option. Similar to the Venus model, it's a side-byside pushchair that can be set up to meet the needs of your family. The pushchair can be set up to accommodate twins or a single to double stroller infant seat. You can also add the Baby Jogger Glider Board as a third child. The seat can be reclined independently and the City Mini GT2 features some of the most nimble handling among double buggies, with test drivers reporting it's a breeze to manoeuvre up and down kerbs.

Comfort

The fabric and padding of the seat are comfortable for children. Additionally, the UPF 50+ canopy are long enough to offer shade and an adorable peekaboo feature. The seat reclines in multiple positions, too which our testers loved. The only downside to this model is that it isn't as compact as other models. However, our lab experts said it was easy to open and close.

Double buggies weigh more, are bulkier and more expensive but are ideal for families with two children of similar age (generally younger than 4). Choose a brand that is designed to last for a long time and keep its value.

Tandem buggies were originally a single pushchair, however they have adaptors which allow the addition of an additional seat, carrycot, or (in certain cases) an automobile seat to the frame. Some are fixed doubles, while others - like this one from Leclerc can be changed to a side-by-side configuration when your children are ready for it.

Although a side-by-side is typically wider than other types of double buggy it is able 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 may punch or kick one another while riding.

A front-facing tandem can be an alternative to a side-by-side model for older kids. It may be less prone to sibling squabbles, as your children aren't directly facing each the other. It's important to remember that some kids can feel left out or isolated when they're in a front-facing tandem as they won't have the same view of the world around them.
