10 Meetups On Double Pushchair From Birth You Should Attend

Buying a Double Pushchair From Birth

If you love long walks with your toddler and you are planning an additional child, a double buggy newborn pushchair will simplify family life. There are many choices to choose from.

Most tandem buggies are able to adapt to different configurations. For instance, some come with reversible seats that let siblings face one another or the other.

Size

If you're purchasing a double pushchair at birth, it's important to keep in mind that they're usually bigger than single buggies. It is important to ensure that the buggy is able to fit through the doorways of your home and be capable of easily moving up and over kerbs and stairs.

Double strollers come in two main designs that are 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 converted into a single-to-double pram stroller stroller with the addition of seating.

The majority of tandem buggies have seats that face each other and are available in a variety of configurations. This lets your children observe 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 most comfortable seat!) you might find that they're more comfortable sitting side by side rather than facing each other.

The iCandy Venus is a great option for families with twins or children who require a seat. This stylish and affordable buggy comes with the added benefit of being able to take an infant car seat too which means it can grow with your family. iCandy comes with extra accessories, such as fleecy liners, to ensure that your infants stay warm and cozy in their cocoons.

Another option for growing families is the Egg2. This stylish pushchair, that is popular among parents who are a bit glam, can be used either as a single stroller or a double stroller due to its adaptors, which allow you to add a seat or carrycot. It's not the most cost-effective double stroller, however it does come with some unique features which distinguish it from other strollers. One of these is the large basket that is placed behind seat when in parent-facing mode.

Style

Most double buggies are heavier and bulkier than single to double pushchair models, so bear this in mind if contemplating buying a vehicle that will last for several years. They do have more storage space, and a larger basket. These seats are also equipped with a seat that faces the parent, a sunshade that can be extended and an open window. They could also include seats that can recline independently. Some even come with an adjustable leg and foot rest which eases any discomfort that is caused by long walks or extended periods of sitting.

The most well-known double buggy styles are side-bysides and tandems. Tandems are designed to have the children placed in a row and give them the same view and may aid in avoiding sibling fights over who gets to sit where. They're not foolproof and children can still kick or punch one another when they ride. The side-by-side format is more conventional with two fixed seats mounted on a single stroller frame. They may not have as many configurations and are best suited for babies who are able to sit on their own but don't require the back support offered by an infant car seat.

If you're looking for a lightweight double from birth, our lab experts like the Cybex Venus. This model is cleverly designed to expand widthways in order to change from mono to twin mode, taking either one or two carrycots or infant seats. The compact folding design features an enormous shopping basket, front and rear suspension and a spacious shopping bag for a smoother ride. The seats and the add-on RumbleSeat are cushioned and comfortable and come with adjustable foot and leg rests, as well as generous UPF 50+ canopies that provide 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 suit your family. It takes a single infant car seat and you can also add the Baby Jogger Glider Board for the third person (though it 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 said that it was easy to maneuver through kerbs and up and down.

Comfort

The padding and fabric of the seat are suitable for children. Additionally, the UPF 50+ canopy are large enough to provide shade and have the cute peekaboo feature. The seat can recline in a variety of positions, too which our testers loved. The only drawback to this model is that it's not nearly as compact as some models. However our lab experts stated that it could be opened and closed with ease.

Double strollers are generally heavier and bulkier as well as costlier than single buggies. However, they're a must-have for families with two children who are similar in age (generally less than 4 years old). They're also likely to be used for a number of years, so you should choose a quality brand that you can count on to last for a long time and that will keep its value.

Tandem buggies were originally a single pushchair, however they can be fitted with adaptors that permit you to add an extra seat, carrycot, or (in certain situations) an automobile seat to the frame. Some are fixed doubles, but others, such as this one by Leclerc, can be converted to a side-by-side configuration when your children are old enough.

While a side-by-side is generally larger than other types of double buggy, it can be easier to navigate through kerbs, as the weight is distributed more evenly. It's not foolproof to prevent sibling fights. Children sharing a seat may punch or kick one another while riding.

A front-facing tandem is an ideal alternative to a side by side model for older children. It also decreases the likelihood of sibling fights as your kids are not directly facing eachother. Some children might feel excluded in a tandem that faces towards the front, since they don't get the same perspective.

The egg2 is a sleek modern product that comes at competitive pricing. Our testers were impressed by how easy it is to push, but wanted it had more storage and that the handlebars were a little more ergonomic. It's suitable from birth, and can be used in twin mode as early as newborn, or as the combination of carrycot(s)/infant seats or car seat(s) for twins - it's the most flexible of our double buggies which is why it's been a MadeForMums favorite since 2009. It's not the cheapest double buggy, but it has a competitive cost and an excellent sales.

Stores

A double pushchair can make life easier for you for parents with more than one baby. There is a wide range of double strollers out there from tandems to side-by-sides and tandems in different colors and styles. Before making a purchase, you should consider your family's lifestyle as well as the features that are most important to you. By assessing your needs and preferences, you can narrow your options and select the best double pram.

A good double buggy should be light and user-friendly. This is especially important for those who live in a city area where you need a double buggy that can navigate busy streets and fit through narrow doorways to go to the shops or for lunch runs.

A lot of the top double buggies come with suspensions that reduce the impact of bumps and uneven surfaces as well as a recline feature for when your little one is looking to sleep. It is also important that both seats are fitted with straps and buckles that are comfortable with adjustable leg and foot rests, UPF 50+ canopies with windows that peek out and seats that can be reversible so that siblings can look at each other and the world around them.

Another factor to consider when selecting a double pushchair is how small it can be when folded. Some double buggies can be folded down to a compact size that's easy to carry, and will fit in small spaces like cabinets. Others might be heavier but they'll still be simple to transport and store.

If you are on a tight budget, you can find double strollers for sale at a great price. The Cybex Influencer for instance is a stroller that can be used as a single stroller or a double stroller double. It also comes with a basket underneath the seat when in parent-facing mode. It's lightweight it folds flat and has a very high resale cost.

The UPPAbaby is a fantastic option for families because it can be used to accommodate two infant car seats and be configured in a variety of ways. It is able to be fitted with reversible seats so that your children can either face one another or the world. It can also be equipped with a bassinet that is for a newborn baby.
