Buying a Double Pushchair From Birth

A double pushchair is an excellent option for those who enjoy long walks with your toddler and you are planning to have an additional child. There are many options available.

Most tandem buggies can adapt to a variety of configurations. Some tandem buggies have seats that are reversible, allowing siblings to be facing each other or even you.

Size

It's important to keep in mind that double buggies are typically larger than single buggies. That's why you need to ensure that the buggy you select can fit through your doors and is able to easily move between kerbs and steps.

Double strollers are available in two different designs which are tandem and side-by-side. 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 double-sized stroller by adding seating.

Most tandem buggies come with seats that face one another and are available in a variety of configurations. This allows your children to see one another while riding. However, if your kids are of a similar age to get along (or at the very least not fight over who has the most comfortable seat!) then you may find that they're more at ease sitting side by side rather than facing each other.

A great option for families with twins or younger siblings that need to sit side by side is the iCandy Venus. This attractive and affordable buggy comes with the added bonus of being able to take an infant car seat too and grow with your family. iCandy includes extra accessories, like fleece liners, which will ensure that your newborns stay warm and cozy in their cocoons.

Another great option for growing families is the Egg2. This sleek pushchair, which is popular with parents who are image-conscious, can be used either as a single stroller or a double stroller thanks to its adaptors that allow you to add a seat or carrycot. It's not the most affordable double stroller, however it does come with distinct features that make it stand out from other strollers. One of them is a large basket that sits behind seat when in the parent-facing mode.

Style

Most double buggies are heavier and bulkier than single models So keep this in mind when planning on buying one that will last several years. They do come with more storage space, and a larger basket. They also come with a child-facing seat and a sunshade that could be extended, as well as a peekaboo window. They could also have seats that 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 placed in a row with each other, giving them the same view and can help avoid sibling arguments about who sits where. However, they're not 100% secure, and children may punch or kick each on the other while they're riding. The side-by-side format is more conventional, with two fixed seats positioned on a single, wide stroller frame. They might not have the same number of configurations and are typically ideal for babies who are comfortable sitting unaided but don't need the back support of a car seat.

If you're looking for a light double stroller for twins from birth, our lab experts like the Cybex Venus. This innovative model can be changed from mono to twin mode by expanding the width. It can accommodate either one or two infant seats or carrycots. It's also compact when folded and features a spacious shopping basket, as well as front and rear suspension to ensure a smoother ride. The seats and the add-on RumbleSeat are padded and comfortable with adjustable foot and leg rests, as well as generous UPF 50+ canopy which offer plenty of shade.

Another good-value choice is the Baby Jogger City Mini GT2. It's a two-in-one pushchair, similar to the Venus. You can configure 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 twin stroller handling among double buggies. Testers noted that it was easy to maneuver through kerbs and up and down.

Comfort

The padding and fabric of the seat are comfortable for kids. Additionally, the UPF 50+ canopy are large enough to provide shade and an adorable peekaboo feature. The seat reclines in a variety of positions, too which our test subjects loved. The only issue is that the fold isn't as compact as some other models, however our lab experts believe it can be opened and closed easily.

Double buggies are heavier, bulkier, and more expensive, but they're a great investment for families who have two children of similar age (generally younger than 4 years old). Choose a brand that is designed to last for many years and retain its value.

Tandem buggies begin as a single pushchair and have adaptors that allow you to add an additional seat, carrycot, or (in some cases) car seats to the frame. Some are fixed doubles, however others - like this one made by Leclerc - can switch to a side-by-side arrangement when your children are old enough to be ready for it.

While a side-by-side is generally wider than other types of double stroller with car seat buggy it is able to move up and down kerbs as the weight is spread more evenly. It's not 100% safe to avoid sibling fights. Children sharing the same seat may punch or kick each other while riding.

A front-facing tandem can be an alternative to a traditional side-by-side model for older children and may be less prone to sibling squabbles, as your children don't face each one another. Some children might feel excluded when a tandem faces toward the rear, as they don't get the same perspective.

The egg2 is a stylish modern and contemporary product at competitive pricing. Our testers liked how easy it was to push but they would like to have more storage. They also wish the handlebars were more ergonomic. It's suitable from birth and can be used as a twin stroller starting at newborn. It's not the cheapest double buggy on the market but it comes with a competitive price and a great resale.

Stores

If you have more than one child, a double pushchair from birth will make your life much easier while out and out and about. There's a broad selection of double strollers available from tandems to side-by-sides in different styles and colours. However, you should consider your family's needs and the features that are important to you prior making a purchase. Analyzing your needs will help you narrow down your options and select the right double pram for your needs.

A good double buggy is nimble and easy to maneuver. It should be lightweight. This is especially important if you are living in an urban area where you need a double buggy that can maneuver through busy streets and squeeze through narrow doorways to go shopping or on lunch runs.

A lot of the top double buggies come with suspension that softens the impact of bumps and uneven surfaces, and also recline features for when your little one would like to sleep. It is also crucial that both seats are fitted with comfortable straps and buckles with adjustable foot and leg rests and UPF 50+ canopy with peekaboo windows and seats that are reversible, so siblings can face one another or the world around them.

Another factor to consider when choosing a double pushchair is how compact it will fold when folded. Certain double buggies are designed to fold up into an incredibly compact size that is easy to carry and can fit in small spaces like cupboards. Double buggies are made to fold down into a compact size that is easy to carry and will fit into small spaces such as cupboards.

If you are on an extremely tight budget, you can still find double strollers for sale at the lowest price. For example, the Cybex Influencer can be used as a single or a double, and it comes with a basket that is placed under the seat in parent-facing mode. It's lightweight it folds flat and has a high resale price.

The UPPAbaby Vista is a good choice for families as it can be configured with different seating arrangements and can accommodate two infant car seats. It can be set up with reversible seats so that your children can either face each other or the entire world. It is also fitted with a newborn bassinet.
