Double Pushchair From Birth: A Simple Definition

Buying a Double Pushchair From Birth

A double pushchair is an excellent option for those who enjoy long walks with your toddler and plan to have an additional child. There are a variety of options to choose from.

Most tandem buggies can be set up in a variety of ways. For instance, some come with seats that are reversible, allowing siblings to face one another or the other.

Size

It's important to keep in mind that double buggies tend to be larger than single buggies. Make sure that your buggy fits through the doorways of your home and be capable of moving easily between the kerbs and steps.

Double strollers typically come in two basic forms: tandem and side-by-side. Tandem buggies can be the best option for parents with twins. Side-by-side strollers are ideal for children of all ages and can be transformed into a double-sized stroller by adding seats.

Most tandem buggies have seats that face one another and come in multiple configurations. This allows your children to observe each other while riding. If your children are of a similar age to be able to get along (or at least not argue over who is the Best travel double stroller seat!) You may find they prefer facing each other than sitting close to one another.

The iCandy Venus is a great option for families with twins, or younger siblings that require a seat. This stylish, budget-friendly buggy can also be used with an infant car seat, so it can grow with your family. iCandy comes with additional accessories, such as fleecy liners, to ensure that your newborns stay warm and snug in their cocoons.

Egg2 is a different option for families that are growing. This sleek pushchair twin is a favourite among image-conscious parents. It can be used as a single unit or in a double pram buggy thanks to its flexible frame that has adaptors available to add a seat or carrycot. It's not the cheapest double stroller available, however it does come with unique characteristics that differentiate it from other strollers, such as an enormous shopping basket that can be placed behind the seat in the parent-facing position.

Style

Double buggies are usually larger and heavier. If you plan to purchase one that you intend to be using for a long time be aware of this. However, they do provide more storage space, typically with a larger basket for shopping. They also typically feature a parent-facing seat with an extendable sunshade and peekaboo window, as well as seats that recline independently. Some models include an adjustable leg and foot rest that can be adjusted to relieve any discomfort that is caused by long walking or prolonged periods of sitting.

Tandems and side-by-sides are the most sought-after types of off road double buggy buggy. Tandems are designed to have the children seated side-byside and sharing the same view. This can help avoid sibling fights about where to sit. They're not foolproof, and children can still kick or punch 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 may not offer the same variety of options and are typically recommended for infants who have mastered sitting without assistance but don't yet need the back support of a car seat.

If you're looking for a light double from birth our lab experts recommend the Cybex Venus. This innovative model can be expanded width-wise to convert from mono to twin mode, taking either two or more carrycots or infant seats. The compact folding design features an enormous shopping basket, rear and front suspension and a spacious shopping bag to ensure a smoother ride. The seats and the optional RumbleSeat are comfortable and padded, with built-in adjustable foot and leg rests, as well as generous UPF 50+ canopy that offer plenty of shade.

Another great option is the Baby Jogger City Mini GT2. Like the Venus, it's a side-by-side pushchair that can be configured to meet the needs of your family. The pushchair is able to be set to accommodate twins or an infant seat. You can also add the Baby Jogger Glider Board as a third child. The seat can be reclined independently and the City Mini GT2 features some of the most agile handling of double buggies, with testers reporting it's easy to move through kerbs and up and down.

Comfort

The padding and fabric of the seat are both suitable for children. In addition the UPF 50+ canopies are large enough to provide shade and an adorable peekaboo feature. Our test subjects also liked 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 say it can be opened and closed easily.

Double strollers are generally heavier and bulkier as well as costlier than single to double stroller buggies. However, they're a must-have for families with two kids who are close in age (generally less than 4 years old). Choose a brand that will last for many years and retain its value.

Tandem buggies started out as a single pushchair, however they come with adaptors that allow you to add an extra seat, carrycot, or (in certain instances) the car seat to the frame. Some are fixed doubles, however others - like this one from Leclerc - can switch to a side-byside configuration when your children are old enough to be ready for it.

A side-byside double buggy is generally wider than other types however, it's more maneuverable over kerbs since the weight is distributed more evenly. However, it's not a guarantee for avoiding sibling squabbles; kids in the same seat can punch or kick each other while riding.

A front-facing tandem can be an excellent alternative to a traditional side-by-side model for older children. It also decreases the chance of fighting between siblings since your children aren't directly facing eachother. It's important to remember that some kids can feel lonely or disengaged in a front-facing tandem, since they don't have the same view of their surroundings.

The egg2 features a sleek modern design and attractive price. Our testers liked how easy to push, but wished that it had more storage. They also wanted the handlebars were more ergonomic. It is suitable from birth and can be used in twin mode as early as newborn, or as a combination of carrycot(s)/infant seats/car seat(s) for twins. It's the most flexible of our double buggies which is the reason it's been a MadeForMums popular model since 2009. It's not the least expensive double stroller available, but it is competitively priced and has excellent potential for resales.

Storage

A double pushchair will simplify your life when you have more than one child. There's a broad selection of double strollers available from tandems to side-bysides in different styles and colours. However, you should think carefully about your family's needs and the features that are important to you before making a purchase. Analyzing your needs will help you narrow down the options and select the right double pram for your needs.

A good double buggy should be nimble and easy to use. This is particularly important for those who live in a city area where you require a double buggy that can maneuver through busy streets and squeeze through doorways that are narrow to go shopping or on lunch runs.

The best double buggies feature suspension that will soften the impact of bumps and uneven surfaces and also a recline feature for when your little one is looking to sleep. It is also important that both seats come with comfortable buckles and straps that can be adjusted, adjustable leg and foot rests UPF 50+ canopy with peekaboo windows, and seats that are reversible, to allow siblings to face one another or the world around them.

Another thing to take into consideration when choosing a double pushchair is how compact it can be when folded. Double buggies are often designed to fold into a compact size that is easy to carry and can fit into small spaces such as cupboards. Double buggies are made to fold down into smaller sizes that are easy to carry and will fit into small spaces, such as cupboards.

If you're on a tighter budget to work with there are high-quality double strollers that can be used.

It is light it folds flat and comes with a high resale value.
