Buying a Double Pushchair From Birth

A double stroller with car seat pushchair is a great option for those who enjoy long walks with your toddler, and you are planning to have an additional child. There are plenty of options to pick from.

Most tandem buggies can adapt to different configurations. For example, some have seats that are reversible, allowing siblings to face one another or the other.

Size

If you're purchasing a double pushchair from birth it's important to keep in mind that they're usually bigger than single buggies. You should make sure that your buggy can fit into the doors of your home and is capable of moving easily across the kerbs and steps.

Double strollers tend to come in two different styles such as tandem and side-byside. Tandem buggies are the best lightweight double stroller option for parents with twins. Side-by-side strollers are ideal for children of all terrain double stroller (www.google.Pl) ages, and can be converted into a double-sized stroller by adding seating.

The majority of tandem buggies have seats that face one another and are available in a variety of configurations. This lets your children see one another while riding. If your children are of a similar age to be able to get along (or at least not fight over who is the best seat!) You might find that they prefer facing each other than sitting next to one another.

The iCandy Venus is a great option for families with twins, or children who need to sit together. This stylish and affordable buggy also has the added bonus of being able to take an infant car seat which means it can expand with your family. iCandy comes with additional accessories, like fleecy liners, to ensure that your newborns stay warm and cozy in their cocoons.

Egg2 is a different option 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 versatile frame that has adaptors available to fit seats or a carrycot. It's not the most cost-effective double stroller, but it does have some unique features which set it apart from the rest of the market. One of these is an enormous basket that can be placed behind the seat when it is in the parent-facing mode.

Style

Double buggies are generally heavier and bulkier. If you are planning to purchase one that you intend to be using for a long time be aware of this. However, they do provide more storage space, usually with a larger shopping basket. They also typically feature seats that are facing the parents, with an extendable sunshade as well as a windows that peek out, as well as seats that recline independently. Some even come with an adjustable foot and leg rests, which helps with any discomfort caused by long walks or prolonged periods of sitting.

The most popular double buggy designs are side-by-sides and tandems. Tandems are designed with children seated side-byside, giving them the same view. This can prevent siblings fighting over where to sit. But they're not foolproof, and kids are able to punch or kick each other while riding. Side-by-sides are a classic format, with two fixed seats arranged on a single-wide stroller frame. They may not offer the same number of configurations, and are best for babies who can sit without assistance but don't require the back support offered by an infant car seat.

Our lab experts recommend the Cybex Venus if you're seeking a light, double from birth. This innovative model can be expanded width-wise to switch from mono to twin mode, and can accommodate either one or two carrycots or infant seats. It's also compact when folded and has a large shopping basket as well as rear and front suspensions for smoother travel. The seats and the optional RumbleSeat are padded and comfortable and come with adjustable leg and foot rests and large UPF 50+ canopies that offer plenty of shade.

Another option that is a good value 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 can accommodate 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 features some of the most fluid handling of double buggies, with users stating it's easy to maneuver through kerbs and up and down.

Comfort

The seat padding and the fabric are comfortable for both kids and adults, and the UPF 50+ canopy is wide enough to give real shade and offers a cute peekaboo view. The seat reclines in a variety of positions,, which our testers appreciated. The only drawback to this model is that it's not as compact as other models. However our lab experts reported that it opened and closed easily.

Double strollers are typically heavier and bulkier as well as costlier than single to double pushchair buggies, but they're a great investment for families with two kids who are similar in age (generally under 4). They're also likely to be used for a number of years, so choose a quality brand that you can count on to last for a long time and that will keep its value for a long time.

Tandem buggies begin as one pushchair. They come with adaptors that allow you to add an additional seat, carrycot, or (in some cases) car seats to the frame. Some of them are fixed doubles, but others - such as this one from Leclerc - can switch to a side-by-side arrangement when your children are old enough to be ready for it.

While a side-byside is generally wider than other types of double buggy It can be a bit easier to navigate between kerbs since the weight is distributed more evenly. However, it's not foolproof to prevent sibling rivalries and children in the same 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 can also reduce the likelihood of sibling fights as your kids are not directly in front of each other. It's important to remember that some kids 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 and contemporary product at an affordable price. Our testers were impressed by the ease of use and push, but they would prefer it had more storage space and that the handlebars were more comfortable. It's suitable from birth, and can be used in twin stroller with car seats mode from 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 why it's been a MadeForMums favorite since 2009. It's not the most affordable double stroller on the market, but it is competitively priced and has excellent resale value.
