Buying a Double Pushchair From Birth If you love long walks with your toddler and you are contemplating having the birth of a second child, a double pushchair will simplify family life. Luckily there are many options to pick from. The majority of tandem buggies are configured in a variety of ways. Some tandem buggies have reversible seating that allows siblings to be facing one another, or you. Size If you're buying a double pushchair from birth it's important to keep in mind that they're usually bigger than single buggies. That's why you need to make sure that the buggy you choose can fit through your doorways and can easily maneuver through kerbs, and up and down steps. Double strollers come in two different designs: tandem and side by side. Tandem buggies can be an ideal option for parents with twins. Side-by-side strollers are ideal for children of all ages and can be transformed into a single-to-double stroller with the addition of a seat. Most tandem buggies are designed with seats facing one another and offer multiple seat configurations, allowing your children to see each other as they ride. If your children are a similar age, they may be able to get along or at the very least not argue over who gets the most comfortable seats. then you may find that they're more comfortable side by side rather than facing one another. A great choice for families with twins or younger siblings who require to be seated side-by-side is the iCandy Venus. This beautiful and affordable buggy comes with the added benefit of being able take an infant car seat too and expand with your family. iCandy comes with extra accessories, such as fleecy liners to ensure that your baby stays warm and cozy in their cocoons. Another great option for growing families is the Egg2. This sleek pushchair is a favourite among image-conscious parents. It can be used as a single unit or as a double due to its movable frame with adaptors for adding seats or a carrycot. It's not the most affordable double stroller on the market but it does have some unique features that distinguish it from its competitors, including the large shopping basket that is placed behind the seat in parent-facing mode. Style The majority of double buggies tend to be heavier and bulkier than single models Be aware of that in mind if you're contemplating buying a vehicle that will last many years. However, they offer more storage space, usually with a bigger basket for shopping. They also typically feature seating that is facing the parent, with a sunshade that can be extended and a peekaboo window, as well with seats that recline independently. Some even have a built-in adjustable leg and foot rest that eases any discomfort caused by long walks or extended periods of sitting. Tandems and side-by-sides are the most sought-after types of double buggy. Tandems are designed to have the children seated side-by-side and sharing the same view. This helps avoid sibling rivalries over where to sit. They're not foolproof, and children can still kick or punch one another while riding. Side-by-sides is a more traditional format, with two fixed seats assembled on the same frame of a stroller. They may not offer the same variety of options, and they're usually ideal for babies who are comfortable sitting unaided but don't yet need the back support of an infant car seat. Our lab experts recommend the Cybex Venus if you're looking for a light double from birth. This clever model expands 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 features a spacious shopping basket and front and rear suspension to ensure a smoother ride. The seats include the RumbleSeat, are padded, comfortable, and have adjustable leg and footrests. They also come with a large UPF 50+ canopy, which provides plenty of shade. Another great option is the Baby Jogger City Mini GT2. It's a side by side pushchair that's similar to the Venus. It is possible to configure it to meet your requirements. It can accommodate one car seat for infants and you can also add the Baby Jogger Glider Board for a third 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 reported that it was easy to maneuver between kerbs. Comfort The fabric and padding of the seat are both comfortable for kids. In addition, the UPF 50+ canopies are long enough to offer shade and an adorable peekaboo feature. Our test participants also loved that the seat reclines at a variety of angles. 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, however they are an excellent investment for families with two children of the same age (generally less than 4 years old). Choose most compact double stroller that is designed to last for many years and retain its value. Tandem buggies are initially an individual pushchair, but they have adaptors that let you add another seat, a carrycot or (in some instances) car seats to the frame. Some are fixed doubles, but others – such as this one from Leclerc can be changed to a side-by-side configuration when your children are old enough to be ready for it. While a side-byside is typically wider than other double buggy types it is able to navigate up and down kerbs as the weight is distributed more evenly. It's not foolproof to keep siblings from fighting. Children sharing a seat can kick or punch each other while riding. A front-facing tandem could be an excellent alternative to a side by side model for older children. It can also reduce the chance of fighting between siblings since your children aren't directly facing eachother. It's important to note that some children may feel left out or isolated in a front-facing tandem, because they don't have the same view of their surroundings. The egg2 is a chic, modern product with an affordable price. Our test subjects liked how easy it was to push, but they would like to have more storage. They also wished the handlebars were more comfortable. It is suitable from birth and can be used as a twin stroller starting at the time of birth. It's not the least expensive double stroller on the market, but it is competitively priced and offers a great selling value. Stores If you have more than one child having a double pushchair from birth will make your life much easier while out and about. There are a myriad of types of double strollers, from tandems to side by sides with a variety of styles and colors. However, you should think carefully about your family's needs and what features are important to you prior to purchasing a product. By evaluating your needs and preferences, you can narrow your options and choose the best double pram. A good double buggy is agile and easy to maneuver. It should be lightweight. This is especially important if you are living in an urban area and you require a double buggy that is able to navigate through busy streets and squeeze through narrow doorways to go shopping or out for lunch. The majority of the top double buggies have suspension to soften the impact on bumps and uneven surfaces. They also have recline features to allow your child to nap. The seats should be able to adjust footrests and leg rests, UPF 50+ canopy, with windows that peek out, as well as comfortable buckles and straps. When choosing a double stroller it is important to consider the size of the pushchair that it can be when folded. Certain double buggies are designed to fold into smaller sizes that are easy to carry and fit into small spaces such as cupboards. Some may be a bit heavier but will still be relatively easy to move and store. If you're on an extremely tight budget, you can find double strollers at the lowest price. For example the Cybex Influencer can be used as a single or double, and it includes a basket that is placed under the seat in parent-facing mode. It is also lightweight, folds flat and has a huge resale potential. The UPPAbaby Vista is an excellent choice for families as it can be set up with different seating arrangements and can accommodate two infant car seats. It can be configured with reversible seats, so that your children can either face one another or the world. It can also be fitted with a newborn bassinet.
