Buying a Double Pushchair From Birth
If you enjoy long walks with your toddler and are considering having an additional child using a double pushchair, it can simplify your family life. There are plenty of options to pick from.
The majority of tandem buggies are able to adapt to different configurations. Some tandem buggies come with seats that are reversible, allowing siblings to face each other or even you.
Size
It is important to keep in mind that double buggies are generally larger than single buggies. This is why it's important to ensure that your chosen buggy fits through your home's doorways and can easily maneuver up and down kerbs and steps.
Double strollers are available in two main designs: tandem and side by side. Tandem buggies are a good option for parents with twins, while side-byside strollers can be used with children of various ages and often transform into single-to-double pushchairs, by adding an extra seat or carrycot to the frame.
The majority of tandem buggies are constructed with the seats facing one another and offer a variety of seat configurations which allows your children to see each other while they ride. If your children are of a similar age they may be able to coexist or at the very least not argue about who gets the most comfortable seats. You may find that they prefer facing one another rather than sitting next to each other.
A great option for families with twins or younger siblings that need to sit side by side is the iCandy Venus. This stylish and budget-friendly buggy also comes with the added benefit of being able to take an infant car seat as well, so it can expand with your family. iCandy comes with extra accessories, such as fleecy liners, to ensure that your newborns stay warm and snug in their cocoons.
Another option for growing families is the Egg2. This stylish stroller is a favorite among fashion-conscious parents. It can be used as a single unit or as a double due to its flexible frame that has adaptors available for adding a seat or a carrycot. It's not the cheapest double stroller on the market however it does come with unique features that distinguish it from competitors, including a large shopping basket that is placed behind the seat when it is in parent-facing mode.
Style
Double buggies tend to be heavier and bulkier. If you plan to buy one that you intend to be using for a long time be aware of this. They have more storage space and a bigger basket. They also come with a parent facing seat and a sunshade that could be extended, and a peekaboo window. They could also have seats that can recline independently. Some models have an adjustable leg and foot rest that can be adjusted to relieve any discomfort that is caused by long walking or long periods of sitting.
The most popular double buggy designs are side-by-sides and tandems. Tandems are designed with children sitting side-by-side, giving them the same view. This can prevent siblings fighting about where to sit. But they're not completely safe, 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 mounted on a single, wide stroller frame. They might not have the same variety of options and are generally ideal for babies who have mastered unassisted sitting but don't require the back support of an infant car seat.
If you're looking for a lightweight double from birth Our lab experts recommend the Cybex Venus. This clever model can be converted from mono to twin buggy from birth by expanding the width. It can accommodate either two or one infant seat or carrycots. It's also compact when folded, and has a large shopping basket as well as front and rear suspension for smoother travel. The seats and the optional RumbleSeat are comfortable and padded, with built-in adjustable foot and leg rests and generous UPF 50+ canopy that offer 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 needs. The pushchair can be configured to accommodate twins or an infant seat. You can also include the Baby Jogger Glider Board as a third child. The seat reclines independently, and the City Mini GT2 features some of the most agile handling of double buggies, with users stating it's a breeze to manoeuvre between kerbs.
Comfort
The padding and fabric of the seat are comfortable for children. In addition the UPF 50+ canopy are large enough to provide shade and have the cute peekaboo feature. Our test participants also loved that the seat reclines at a variety of angles. The only downside is that the fold isn't as compact as other models, however our lab experts believe it opens and closes easily.
Double buggies are larger, heavier, and more expensive, but they're an excellent investment for families with two children of the same age (generally less than 4 years old). Choose a brand that will last for many years and will not lose its value.
Tandem buggies are originally one-person pushchairs, but they come with adaptors that allow you to add an additional seat, carrycot, or (in certain situations) the car seat to the frame. Some of them are fixed doubles, while others - like this one made by Leclerc can be changed to a side-byside configuration when your children are ready for it.
A side-by-side double buggy is generally wider than other types however, it's more maneuverable over kerbs as the weight is distributed more evenly. However, it's not a guarantee to prevent sibling rivalries as children sharing the same seat may punch or kick each other while riding.
A front-facing tandem can be a good alternative to a side-by-side model for older children. It also decreases the likelihood of sibling fights since your children aren't directly in front of each other. It's important to note that some children may feel isolated or lonely when they're in a front-facing tandem because they don't have the same view of their surroundings.
The egg2 features a sleek, modern design and an attractive price. Our test subjects liked how easy it was to push, but wished that it had more storage. They also wished the handlebars were more ergonomic. It's suitable from birth, and can be used in twin mode from newborn or in a combination of carrycot(s)/infant seats or car seat(s) for twins. It's also the most flexible of our double buggies, which is the reason it's been a MadeForMums favorite since 2009. It's not the most affordable double buggy, but it has a competitive price and excellent resale.
Stores
If you have more than one child, a double pushchair from birth will make your life easier when out and out and about. There are a myriad of types of double stroller with car seat strollers, ranging from tandems to side by sides in various styles and colours. Before making a purchase you must think about your family's needs and the features that are most important to you. The process of assessing your needs will allow you to narrow down the choices and choose the best double pram for your needs.
A quality double buggy must be small and easy to use. This is particularly crucial if you live within an urban environment where you'll require a double pram that can navigate through busy streets and fit into narrow doorways for lunch runs or shopping days out.
The majority of the top double buggies come with suspension to soften the impact of bumps and uneven surfaces. They also have recline functions to let 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 stroll take into consideration the size of the pushchair that it can be when folded. Some double buggies are designed to fold down into smaller sizes that are easy to carry and will fit into small spaces such as cupboards. Some may be a bit heavier but they will be easy to transport and store.
If you have a smaller budget to work with, you can find some high-quality double strollers that will do the job. The Cybex Influencer for instance is a stroller that can be used as an individual stroller or as a double stroller. It also comes with a basket underneath the seat when the child is facing it. It is also lightweight, can be folded flat and has a great resale value.
The UPPAbaby is a fantastic choice for families, as it can fit two infant car seats and can be configured in various ways. It comes with reversible seats so that your children can sit facing one another or the world and it can be equipped with a bassinet that is suitable for newborns.
