Buying a Double Pushchair From Birth

A double pushchair is a fantastic option if you love long walks with your toddler and are planning to have a second child. There are many options to pick from.

Most tandem buggies can be configured in a variety ways. Some tandem buggies have seats that can be reversed to allow siblings to be facing each other, or you.

Double strollers are available in two different styles that are tandem and side by side. Tandem buggies can be a good choice for parents with twins. Side-by-side strollers are ideal for children of all ages and can be converted into a single-to-double stroller by adding seats.

Most tandem buggies come with 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 similar ages they might be able to get along or at the very least not argue over who gets the best seats. You may find they prefer sitting together rather than next to each other.

The iCandy Venus is a great option for families with twins or younger siblings that require a seat. This attractive and budget-friendly buggy also comes with the added benefit of being able to carry an infant car seat as well and grow with your family. iCandy includes extra accessories, like fleecy liners, to ensure that your newborns stay warm and snug in their cocoons.

Another option for growing families is the Egg2. This stylish pushchair, that is popular with parents who are conscious of their appearance and want to look their best, can be used as an individual stroller or as a double stroller thanks to its adaptors that permit you to add a seat or carrycot. It's not the least expensive double stroller, however it does come with distinctive features that distinguish it from other strollers, such as the large shopping basket that sits behind the seat in the face-to-parent mode.

Style

Double buggies tend to be larger and heavier. If you plan to purchase one that you will use for several years take this into consideration. They have more storage space and a bigger basket. They also typically feature seating that is facing the parent, with an extendable sunshade and windows that peek out, as well as seats that recline independently. Some even have a built-in adjustable leg and foot rest, which helps with any discomfort that is caused from long walks or long periods of sitting.

Tandems and side-by-sides are the most sought-after types of double buggy. Tandems are designed with the children seated side-byside with the same view. This can prevent sibling rivalries about where to sit. However, they're not 100% secure, and children are able to punch or kick each one another while riding. Side-by-sides is a more traditional design, with two fixed seats arranged on a single-wide stroller frame. They may not offer as many configurations and are typically ideal for babies who are comfortable sitting unaided but don't need the back support of an infant car seat.

A front-facing tandem can be an alternative to a side-by-side model for older kids and may be less prone to squabbles between siblings since your children aren't facing each one another. Some children might be a bit secluded in a tandem that is facing forward, as they don't get the same perspective.
