Guide To Double Pushchair From Birth: The Intermediate Guide The Steps To Double Pushchair From Birth

Buying a Double Pushchair From Birth

A double pushchair is a fantastic option if you love long walks with your toddler, and plan to have a second child. There are numerous options to choose from.

Most tandem buggies are able to adapt to various configurations. For instance, some models have seats that are reversible, allowing siblings to face each other or to the side.

Size

If you're purchasing a double pushchair from birth it's worth bearing in mind that these are usually larger than single buggies. You should make sure that your buggy can fit through the doors of your home and be able to easily maneuver up and over stairs and kerbs.

Double strollers come in two different designs that are tandem and side-by-side. Tandem buggies can be a great option for parents with twins, while side-by-side strollers can be used by children of different ages. They can often convert into single-to-double pushchairs by adding an extra seat or carrycot to the frame.

Most tandem buggies have seats that face one another and come in various configurations. This lets your children observe each other while riding. If your children are close enough in age to be able to coexist (or at the very least not fight over who is the best seat!) You may discover that they're more at ease sitting in a row instead of facing one another.

A great choice for families with twins or younger siblings who need to sit together is the iCandy Venus. This beautiful, affordable buggy can also be used with an infant car seat so that it can grow with your family. iCandy comes with additional accessories, like fleecy liners to ensure that your newborns stay warm and snug in their cocoons.

Egg2 is a different option for families who are growing. This sleek pushchair is a favourite among image-conscious parents, and it can be used as a single or in a double configuration thanks to its flexible frame, which has adaptors for adding a seat or a carrycot. It's not the most affordable double stroller, but it does have certain unique features that make it stand out from the rest of the market. One of them is an enormous basket that can be placed behind seat when in the parent-facing position.

Style

Double buggies are generally larger and heavier. If you plan to purchase one that you will keep for a long period of time be aware of this. However, they offer more storage space, often with a bigger basket for shopping. 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 recline independently. Some have an 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 with children sitting side-by-side, giving them the same perspective. This can help avoid sibling rivalries over seating. They're not foolproof, and children are still able to punch or kick one another while riding. Side-by-sides are a more traditional format, with two fixed seats that are affixed to one frame for a stroller. They may not have as many configurations and are best for babies who can sit n stand double stroller without assistance but do not require the back support offered by an infant car seat.

If you're looking for a lightweight double from birth our lab experts recommend the Cybex Venus. This clever model expands widthways to convert from mono to twin buggy mode, and can accommodate either two or more carrycots or infant seats. The compact folding design comes with an ample shopping basket, rear and front suspension, and a large shopping bag for a more comfortable ride. The seats include the RumbleSeat are padded and comfortable, as well as adjustable footrests and leg rests. They also have a generous UPF 50+ canopy, which provides plenty of shade.

The Baby Jogger City Mini GT2 is a different good value option. It's a two-in-one pushchair, just like the Venus. You can set it to suit your needs. It is compatible with only one infant car seat and can be paired with the Baby Jogger Glider Board for an additional passenger (though this limits the usability to twins). The seat reclines independently and the City Mini GT2 features some of the most fluid handling among double buggies, with test drivers reporting it's easy to move up and down kerbs.

Comfort

The padding and fabric of the seat are comfortable for kids. Additionally the UPF 50+ canopy are long enough to offer shade and have an adorable peekaboo feature. Our testers also appreciated that the seat reclines at a variety of angles. The only issue is that the fold isn't as compact as some other models, but our lab experts say it is easy to open and close.

Double buggies are larger, heavier and more expensive, but they're an excellent investment for families with two children who are similar in age (generally younger than 4 years old). Select a brand that can last for a long time and keep its value.

Tandem buggies were originally a single pushchair, however they have adaptors which allow the addition of an additional seat, carrycot, or (in certain instances) a car seat to the frame. Some are fixed doubles, but others, like this one by Leclerc can be converted to a side-by-side configuration when your children reach the age of.

While a side-by-side is generally wider than other types of double buggy it is able to move through kerbs, as the weight is distributed more evenly. It's not a guarantee to avoid sibling fights. Children sharing the same seat can kick or punch each other while riding.

A front-facing tandem is a good alternative to a side-by-side model for older children. It can also lessen the chance of fighting between siblings as your kids are not directly facing each other. It's worth noting that some children may feel isolated or lonely in a front-facing tandem, as they won't have the same view of the world around them.

The egg2 has a sleek modern design and attractive price tag. Our test subjects liked how easy it was to push, but they would like to have more storage.

It's suitable for babies from birth, and can be used in twin mode as early as newborn, or as 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 favourite since 2009. It's not the most affordable double buggy on the market but it has a competitive price and excellent selling.
