Buying a Double Pushchair From Birth

A double pushchair is an excellent option for those who enjoy long walks with your toddler and are planning to have another child. Luckily there are many choices to choose from.

The majority of tandem buggies are able to adapt to a variety of configurations. For example, some have seats that are reversible, allowing siblings to face each other or to the side.

Size

It is important to keep in mind that double buggies are typically larger than single buggies. Make sure that your buggy fits into the doors of your house and is capable of moving easily between the kerbs and steps.

Double strollers come in two styles which are tandem and side-by-side. Tandem buggies are an excellent option for parents with twins, while side-byside 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 come with seats that face one another and come in multiple configurations. This lets your children observe each other while riding. However, if your kids are close enough in age to be able to get along (or at the very least not fight over who gets the most comfortable seat!) You may discover that they're more at ease sitting in a row instead of facing each other.

The iCandy Venus is a great option for families with twins, or younger siblings who require seating together. This beautiful, 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 snuggly and warm in their cocoons, iCandy includes extra accessories that rival brands charge for separately, like fleecy liners.

Another great option for growing families is the Egg2. This sleek pushchair, which is popular with parents who are image-conscious and want to look their best, can be used as a single stroller or double stroller thanks to its adaptors that permit you to add a seat or carrycot. It's not the least expensive double stroller, but it does have some distinctive features that set it apart from its competitors, including a large shopping basket that is placed behind the seat when it is in the parent-facing position.

Style

Double buggies are generally larger and heavier. If you are planning to purchase one that you intend to be using for a long time take this into consideration. They do come with more storage space and a bigger basket. They typically also come with a parent-facing seat with an extendable sunshade and peekaboo window, as well as seats that recline independently. Some even come with an adjustable leg and foot rest, which helps with any discomfort that is caused by long walks or prolonged periods of sitting.

Side-by-sides, and tandems are the most sought-after types of double buggy. Tandems are designed to have the children placed side by side and give them the same view and may help to avoid sibling squabbles about who sits where. They're not foolproof and children can still kick or punch each other when they ride. Side-by-sides are a more traditional format, with two fixed seats arranged on the same frame of a stroller. They may not offer as many configurations, and they're usually ideal for babies who have mastered sitting without assistance but don't require the back support of an infant car seat.

Our lab experts recommend the Cybex Venus if you're seeking a light, double from birth. This model is cleverly designed to expand widthways in order to change from mono to twin mode, allowing either two or more carrycots or infant seats. It's also compact when folded, and features a spacious shopping basket as well as front and rear suspension for smoother travel. The seats, including the RumbleSeat, are padded and comfortable, as well as adjustable foot and leg rests. They also come with large UPF 50+ canopy that offers plenty of shade.

Another good-value choice is the Baby Jogger City Mini GT2. Like the Venus model, it's a side-byside pushchair that can be configured to fit your family. The pushchair can be set up to accommodate twins or a single infant seat. You can also include the Baby Jogger Glider Board as an additional child. The seat reclines independently, and the City Mini GT2 has some of the most comfortable handling among double buggies. Testers noted that it was easy to maneuver up and down kerbs.

Comfort

The fabric and padding of the seat are both comfortable for kids. Additionally, the UPF 50+ canopy are large enough to provide shade and have an adorable peekaboo feature. Our test subjects also liked that the seat reclines at multiple angles. The only drawback is that the fold isn't as compact as some other models, however our lab experts say it is easy to open and close.

Double strollers are generally heavier and bulkier, as well as more expensive than single buggies, however they're a must-have for families with two children who are close in age (generally under 4). Select a brand that can last for a long time and will not lose its value.

Tandem buggies start life as one pushchair. They come with adaptors that let you add a second seat, carrycot, or (in certain cases) car seats to the frame. Some of them are fixed doubles, but others - such as this one from Leclerc can be converted to a side-by-side arrangement when your children are ready for it.

A side-by-side double buggy usually wider than other types however, it's easier to maneuver over kerbs since the weight is distributed more evenly. However, it's not a guarantee to prevent sibling rivalries and children in the same seat could kick or punch each other when they ride.

A front-facing tandem can be an alternative to a side-byside model for older children and may be less prone to squabbles between siblings, since your children aren't facing each the 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 their surroundings.

The egg2 has a sleek, modern design and an attractive price. Our test participants liked how simple it was to push, but they wished it had more storage. They also wish the handlebars were more comfortable. It's suitable for babies from birth, and can be used in twin umbrella stroller mode from newborn, or as a combination of carrycot(s)/infant seats/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 is not the cheapest lightest double stroller buggy available, but it comes with a competitive cost and an excellent sales.

Stores
