Buying a Double Pushchair From Birth

A double pushchair is an excellent option if you love long walks with your toddler, and are planning to have another child. There are many options available.

The majority of tandem buggies are configured in a variety of ways. For example, some have seats that can be reversed to let your siblings face one another or the other.

Size

It's important to keep in mind that double buggies are generally larger than single buggies. Make sure that your buggy fits through the doors of your home and is able to easily maneuver between the kerbs and steps.

Double strollers double come in two main styles which are tandem and side by side. Tandem buggies can be a good choice for parents with twins. Side-by-side strollers are ideal for children of all ages, and can be converted into a single-to-double stroller by adding seats.

Most tandem buggies have seats that face each other and come in various configurations. This allows your children to be able to see each other while riding. However, if your kids are close enough in age to get along (or at least not fight over who is the best seat!) then you may discover that they're more comfortable in a row instead of facing one another.

A great option for families with twins or younger siblings that need to sit together is the iCandy Venus. This attractive, affordable buggy can also be used in conjunction with an infant car seat so it can expand with your family. To make sure your newborns are warm and cozy in their cocoons, iCandy includes additional accessories that competitors charge separately, such as fleecy liners.

Another option for growing families is the Egg2. This stylish pushchair, that is popular with parents who are a bit glam, can be used either as a single stroller or a double stroller thanks to its adaptors that permit you to include a seat or carrycot. It's not the cheapest double stroller on the market but it has some unique features that distinguish it from its competitors, including an enormous shopping basket that is placed behind the seat when it is in the parent-facing position.

Style

Double buggies tend to be heavier and bulkier than single buggies Be aware of this in mind when contemplating buying a vehicle that will last many years. However, they do offer more storage space, usually with a bigger shopping basket. They also come with a seat that faces the parent, a sunshade that can be extended, and a peekaboo window. They might also have seats that recline independently. Some models come with an adjustable foot and leg rest that can be adjusted to ease any discomfort caused by long walking or long periods of sitting.

Tandems, side-by-sides and tandems are the most sought-after types of double buggy. Tandems are designed to have the children seated side-byside and sharing the same perspective. This can prevent siblings fighting over seating. However, they're not completely safe, and children are able to punch or kick each other while riding. Side-by-sides is a more traditional design, with two fixed seats that are affixed to one frame for a stroller. They may not offer the same number of configurations and are generally ideal for babies who are comfortable sitting unaided but don't need the back support of a car seat.

The seats and the add-on RumbleSeat are cushioned and comfortable and come with adjustable leg and foot rests and generous UPF 50+ canopy which offer plenty of shade.

Another great option is the Baby Jogger City Mini GT2. It's a two-in-one pushchair, similar to the Venus. You can set it to meet your requirements. The pushchair is able to be set to accommodate twins or an infant seat. You can also include the Baby Jogger Glider Board as an additional child.

The seat reclines in multiple positions, which our test subjects loved. The only issue with this model is that it isn't nearly as compact as some models. However, our lab experts said it was easy to open and close.

It's important to note that some kids can feel left out or isolated in a front-facing tandem since they don't have the same view of their surroundings.
