Buying a Double Pushchair From Birth If you love long walks with your toddler and are considering having the birth of a second child, a double pushchair will simplify your family life. Luckily there are many choices to choose from. Most tandem buggies are able to adapt to a variety of configurations. For instance, some come with reversible seats that let siblings face one another or the other. Size It is important to keep in mind that double buggies tend to be larger than single buggies. This is why it's important to ensure that your chosen buggy can fit through your doors and can easily go between kerbs and steps. Double strollers are available in two main styles: tandem and side by side. Tandem buggies can be a great option for parents with twins, while side-byside strollers are suitable for children of different ages and often transform into single-to-double pushchairs, by adding the seat or carrycot the frame. The majority of tandem buggies are constructed with the seats facing one another and offer a variety of seat configurations permitting your children to view each other when they ride. If your children are of a similar age they might be able to work together or at least not fight about who gets the most comfortable seats. You may find they prefer facing each other than sitting next to each other. The iCandy Venus is a great option for families with twins, or younger siblings who need to sit together. This stylish and budget-friendly buggy also comes with the added benefit of being able to carry an infant car seat which means it can expand with your family. To ensure your babies are warm and cozy in their cocoons iCandy includes additional accessories that competitors charge separately, such as fleecy liners. Another great option for growing families is the Egg2. This sleek pushchair is a popular choice for image-conscious parents. It can be used as a single unit or in a double thanks to its versatile frame with adaptors for adding a seat or carrycot. It's not the most affordable double stroller, but it does have certain unique features that distinguish it from the rest of the market. One of them is a large basket that sits behind the seat when it's in the parent-facing mode. Style The majority of double buggies tend to be heavier and bulkier than single models, so bear this in mind if looking to purchase a model that will last many years. However, they offer more storage space, often with a larger shopping basket. They usually also have seats that are facing the parents, with an extendable sunshade as well as a peekaboo window, as well as seats that recline independently. Some models come with an adjustable leg and foot rest that can be adjusted to alleviate any discomfort caused by long walking or long periods of sitting. The most well-known double buggy styles include side-by-sides and tandems. Tandems are designed to have the children seated side-byside, giving them the same perspective. This can help avoid sibling rivalries over where to sit. But they're not foolproof, and kids may punch or kick each one another while riding. The side-by-side format is more conventional with two fixed seats that are mounted on a single, wide stroller frame. They might not have the same variety of options and are typically 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 are looking for a lightweight, double from birth. This model is able to be transformed from mono to twin mode by extending in width. It can be used to accommodate one or two infant seats or carrycots. It's also compact when folded, and has a large shopping basket and front and rear suspension for smoother travel. The seats, including the RumbleSeat are cushioned and comfortable, as well as adjustable leg and footrests. They also come with large UPF 50+ canopy that provides plenty of shade. The Baby Jogger City Mini GT2 is a different good value option. It's a side by side pushchair, just like the Venus. You can set it to meet your requirements. It can accommodate a single infant car seat, and you can add the Baby Jogger Glider Board for the third person (though this limits the use to twins). The seat reclines independently and the City Mini GT2 has some of the most comfortable handling among double buggies. Testers reported that it was easy to move through kerbs and up and down. Comfort The padding and fabric of the seat are both suitable for children. Additionally, the UPF 50+ canopies are long enough to provide shade and an adorable peekaboo feature. Our testers also appreciated that the seat reclines at a variety of angles. The only drawback to this model is that it's not nearly as compact as some models. However, our lab experts said it opened and closed easily. Double strollers are traditionally heavier and bulkier as well as costlier than single buggies, however they're an essential investment for families with two kids who are close in age (generally under 4). They're likely to be used for many years, so you should choose the best brand will last and will hold its value for a long time. Tandem buggies are initially one pushchair. They come with adaptors that let you add a second seat, carrycot or (in some cases) car seats to the frame. Some are fixed doubles, but others – like this one made by Leclerc can be converted to a side-by-side arrangement when your children are ready for it. Although a side-by-side is generally larger than other types of double buggy, it can be easier to move up and down kerbs as the weight is spread more evenly. It's not foolproof to keep siblings from fighting. Children in the same seat could punch or kick one another 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 because your children aren't directly facing eachother. It's important to remember that some kids can feel left out or isolated in a front-facing tandem because they don't have the same view of their surroundings.
