Buying a Double Pushchair From Birth If you love long walks with your toddler and you are planning an additional child, a double pushchair will simplify family life. Luckily there are many options to pick from. Most tandem buggies are able to adapt to different configurations. Some tandem buggies have seats that can be reversed to allow siblings to be facing each other, or you. Size It's important to remember that double buggies are typically larger than single buggies. Make sure that your buggy fits through the doorways of your home and is able to easily maneuver between kerbs and stairs. Double strollers are available in two designs which are tandem and side by side. Tandem buggies can be a great option for parents with twins, while side-byside strollers can be used with children of different ages. They often transform into single-to-double pushchairs by adding the seat or carrycot the frame. The majority of tandem buggies have seats that face each other and come in various configurations. This lets your children be able to see each other while riding. However, if your kids are close enough in age to get along (or at least not argue over who has the most comfortable seat!) then you may discover that they're more at ease sitting in a row instead of facing each other. A great choice for families with twins or younger siblings who require to sit side by side is the iCandy Venus. This beautiful, affordable buggy can also be used with an infant car seat, so it can expand with your family. iCandy comes with extra accessories, such as fleecy liners, to ensure that your baby stays warm and snug in their cocoons. Egg2 is a great alternative for families who are growing. This stylish stroller is a favourite among image-conscious parents. It can be used as a single or in a double configuration thanks to its movable frame with adaptors for adding seats or a carrycot. It's not the least expensive double stroller, but it has some unique characteristics that differentiate it from its competitors, including a large shopping basket that sits behind the seat when it is in parent-facing mode. Style Double buggies are heavier and bulkier than single models, so bear this in mind if planning on buying one that will last for several years. However, they offer more storage space, often with a larger basket for shopping. They usually also have seats that are facing the parents, with an extendable sunshade as well as a the peekaboo window, aswell being reclining seats that can be reclined independently. Some even have a built-in adjustable leg and foot rest which eases any discomfort caused by long walks or prolonged periods of sitting. Tandems and side-by-sides are the most sought-after types of double buggy. Tandems are designed to have the children placed on opposite sides, which gives them both the same view and may aid in avoiding sibling fights over who should sit where. They're not foolproof, and children are still able to punch or kick each other while riding. Side-by-side is more traditional and has two fixed seats mounted on a single wide stroller frame. They may not have as many configurations and are best suited for babies who are able to sit on their own but do not need the back support offered by an infant car seat. If you're looking for a light double from birth, our lab experts like the Cybex Venus. This model is cleverly designed to expand widthways to switch from mono to twin mode, and can accommodate either two or one carrycot or infant seats. It's also compact when folded and features a spacious shopping basket as well as rear and front suspensions for smoother travel. The seats which include the RumbleSeat are cushioned and comfortable. They also have adjustable leg and footrests. They also come with a generous UPF 50+ canopy that provides plenty of shade. Another great option is the Baby Jogger City Mini GT2. Like the Venus model, it's a side-byside pushchair that can be configured to fit your family. It takes a single infant car seat, and you can add the Baby Jogger Glider Board for the third person (though this limits the usability to twins). The seat can be reclined independently, and the City Mini GT2 features some of the most fluid handling of double buggies, with testers reporting it's easy to move up and down kerbs. Comfort The seat padding and fabrics are comfortable for both kids and adults, plus the UPF 50+ canopy is large enough to provide real shade, and also offers a cute peekaboo window. Our test subjects also liked that the seat reclines at multiple angles. The only drawback is that the fold isn't as compact as some other models, but our lab experts believe it can be opened and closed easily. Double buggies weigh more, are bulkier and more expensive but they're ideal for families with two children who are similar in age (generally younger than 4). Choose a brand that is designed to last for a long time and retain its value. Tandem buggies are originally a single pushchair, however they have adaptors which allow you to add an additional seat, carrycot, or (in certain instances) a car seat to the frame. Some are fixed doubles, but others, like this one made by Leclerc can be changed into a side-by-side layout once your children reach the age of. A side-by-side double buggy typically larger than other types, but it is more maneuverable over kerbs since the weight is distributed more evenly. But it's not 100% reliable to prevent sibling rivalries as children sharing the same seat may punch or kick one another while riding. A front-facing tandem is an alternative to a side-by-side model for older kids. It can be less prone to sibling squabbles, as your children aren't directly facing each the other. It's important to note that some children may feel isolated or lonely in a front-facing tandem as they won't have the same view of their surroundings. The egg2 is a chic, modern product with a competitive 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's suitable from birth, and can be used in twin mode from newborn or in the combination of carrycot(s)/infant seats/car seat(s) for twins. It's also the most flexible of our double buggies, which is why it's been a MadeForMums popular model since 2009. It's not the most affordable double stroller on the market, but it is competitively priced and has a high selling value. Stores If you have more than one child, a double pushchair from birth will make your life easier when out and about. There's a broad selection of double strollers out there from tandems to side-by-sides in different styles and colours. But, you must be aware of your family's lifestyle and what features are important to you prior to purchasing a product. Analyzing tandem double stroller will help you narrow down the possibilities and pick the best double pram for you. A good double buggy is quick and easy to maneuver. It should be lightweight. This is especially crucial if you live within an urban setting where you will need a double pram that can traverse busy streets and squeeze into doorways that are narrow for shopping and lunch days out. Many of the best double buggies feature suspensions that reduce the impact of bumps and uneven surfaces, and a recline feature for those times when your child wants to take a snooze. It is also essential that both seats come with straps and buckles that are comfortable that can be adjusted, adjustable foot and leg rests, UPF 50+ canopies with windows that peek out and seats that can be reversible to allow siblings to face each other or the world around them. When choosing a double stroller, you should also consider how compact the stroller can fold when folded. Certain double buggies can be folded down to a compact size that is easy to carry and can be tucked away in tight spaces such as cabinets. Double buggies are made to fold down into an incredibly compact size that is easy to carry and will fit into small spaces, such as cupboards. If you're on a tight budget, you can still find double strollers for sale at an affordable price. For instance, the Cybex Influencer can be used as a single or a double and comes with an under-seat basket that can be placed underneath the seat when facing towards parents. It is also light, folds flat, and has a huge resale potential. The UPPAbaby is an excellent choice for families, as it can fit two infant car seats and can be configured in different ways. It can be set up with reversible seats, ensuring that your children can either face each other or the world. It is also equipped with a bassinet that is for a newborn baby.
