Don't Forget Double Pushchair From Birth: 10 Reasons Why You Don't Nee…

Buying a double push chair Pushchair From Birth

A double pushchair is a great option if you enjoy long walks with your toddler, and are planning to have a second child. There are many options available.

Most tandem buggies are able to adapt to various configurations. For instance, some models have 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 remember that they are generally larger than single buggies. You should make sure that your buggy can fit through the doors of your home and be capable of easily moving across the kerbs and steps.

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

Most tandem buggies come with seats that face one another and come in various configurations. This lets your children be able to see each other while riding. However, if your children are of a similar age to get along (or at least not argue over who gets the best seat!) You might find that they prefer sitting together rather than close to one another.

The iCandy Venus is a great option for families with twins or children who require seating together. This beautiful and affordable buggy comes with the added benefit of being able to take an infant car seat too which means it can expand with your family. To make sure your newborns are snuggly and warm in their cocoons, iCandy also include additional accessories that other brands charge for separately, like fleecy lines.

Egg2 is a great alternative for families that are growing. This sleek pushchair is a popular choice for image-conscious parents, and it can be used as a single or as a cheap double pushchair due to its flexible frame that has adaptors available to add a seat or a carrycot. It's not the least expensive double stroller on the market but it does have some distinctive characteristics that differentiate it from competitors, including an enormous shopping basket that is placed behind the seat when it is in the face-to-parent mode.

Style

Double buggies are heavier and bulkier than single models So keep this in mind if contemplating buying a vehicle that will see you through many years. However, they offer more storage space, usually with a bigger basket for shopping. These seats are also equipped with a parent facing seat as well as a sunshade which can be extended, as well as a peekaboo window. They may also have seats that recline independently. Some have an adjustable leg and foot rest that eases any discomfort caused from long walks or long periods of sitting.

Tandems, side-by-sides and tandems are the most well-known types of double buggy. Tandems are designed with children seated side-by-side with the same perspective. This helps avoid siblings fighting over where to sit. They're not foolproof and children are still able to punch or kick each other while riding. Side-by-side is more conventional with two fixed seats that are mounted on a single stroller frame. They don't offer as many configurations, and they're usually best for babies who have mastered sitting without assistance but don't yet need the back support of an infant car seat.

Our lab experts recommend the Cybex venus if you are seeking a light, double from birth. This innovative model can be expanded width-wise in order to change from mono to twin mode, allowing either one or two carrycots and/or infant seats. It's also compact when folded, and comes with a large shopping basket and front and rear suspension for a more comfortable ride. The seats and the optional RumbleSeat are cushioned and comfortable and come with adjustable foot and leg rests and generous UPF 50+ canopy that offer plenty of shade.

Another option that is a good value is the Baby Jogger City Mini GT2. It's a side by side pushchair, similar to the Venus. It is possible to configure it to suit your needs. It can accommodate only one infant car seat and can be paired with the Baby Jogger Glider Board for a third passenger (though this limits the usability 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 up and down kerbs.

Comfort

The fabric and padding of the seat are comfortable for kids. In addition, the UPF 50+ canopies are large enough to provide shade and have an adorable peekaboo feature. The seat reclines in multiple positions, too which our testers loved. The only downside to this model is that it isn't nearly as compact as some models. However, our lab experts said it could be opened and closed with ease.

Double buggies weigh more, are bulkier and more expensive however they are a great investment for families with two children who are similar in age (generally less than 4 years old). Select a brand that can last for many years and retain its value.

Tandem buggies were originally a single pushchair, however they have adaptors which allow the addition of an additional seat or carrycot or (in certain instances) the car seat to the frame. Some are fixed doubles but others, such as this one made by Leclerc can be converted into a side-by-side layout once your children are old enough.

While a side-byside is typically wider than other double buggy types It can be a bit easier to navigate through kerbs, as the weight is spread more evenly. It's not foolproof to keep siblings from fighting. Children in the same seat can kick or punch each other while riding.

A front-facing tandem can be an alternative to a side-byside model for older children and is less susceptible to sibling squabbles, as your children aren't facing each the other. It's important to remember that some children may feel isolated or lonely in a front-facing tandem because they don't have the same view of the world around them.

The egg2 features a sleek modern design, a contemporary style and an attractive price tag. Our test participants liked how simple to push, but they would like to have more storage. They also wished the handlebars were more ergonomic. It's suitable from birth, and can be used in twin mode from newborn or in a 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 is not the cheapest double stroller for twins buggy, but it has a competitive price and excellent sales.

Storage

A double pushchair can simplify life when you have more than one child. There's a broad selection of double strollers out there from tandems to side-bysides in various colours and styles. However, you should be aware of your family's needs and what features are important to you prior purchasing a product. Evaluating your requirements will help you to narrow down the choices and choose the best double pram for you.

A good double buggy is nimble, easy to maneuver and should be light. This is particularly crucial if you live within an urban area where you'll need an extra pram to navigate through busy streets and fit into narrow doors for lunch runs or shopping days out.

A lot of the top double buggies have suspensions that reduce the impact of bumps and uneven surfaces and also recline options for when your little one would like to sleep. The seats should be able to adjust leg and footrests, UPF 50+ canopy with windows that peek out, as well as comfortable buckles and straps.

When choosing a double stroller, you should also consider how compact the pushchair can fold when folded. Some double tandem pushchair buggies can be folded into a small size that is easy to carry, and fit into small spaces like cabinets. Some double push chair buggies are designed to fold down into an incredibly compact size that is easy to carry and can fit into small spaces, such as cupboards.

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

The UPPAbaby is a great choice for families, as it can fit two infant car seats and can be configured in a variety of ways. It has reversible seats to allow your children to face each other or the world, and it can also be fitted with a bassinet suitable for infants.
