Buying a Double Pushchair From Birth
A double pushchair is a great option for those who enjoy long walks with your toddler and you are planning to have a second child. There are many options available.
Most tandem buggies can adapt to various configurations. For example, some have seats that are reversible, allowing siblings to face one another or the other.
Size
It's important to remember that double buggies are typically larger than single buggies. This is why you must make sure that the buggy you choose fits through your home's doors and can easily go between kerbs and steps.
Double strollers are available in two main designs: tandem and side-by-side. Tandem buggies can be a great option for parents of twins, whereas side-by-side strollers can be used with children of different ages and often transform into single-to-double pushchairs, www.google.co.ls says, by adding a seat or carrycot to the frame.
The majority of tandem buggies are constructed with the seats facing each other and offer multiple seat configurations, which allows your children to see each other while they ride. However, if your kids are of a similar age to be able to get along (or at least not fight over who has the most comfortable seat!) You may find that they prefer sitting together rather than next to each other.
The iCandy Venus is a great option for families with twins, or children who require seating together. This stylish and affordable buggy also has the added bonus of being able to carry an infant car seat which means it can grow with your family. iCandy comes with extra accessories, like fleecy liners, to ensure that your baby stays warm and snug in their cocoons.
Egg2 is a great alternative for families who are growing. This sleek pushchair is a popular choice for image-conscious parents. It can be used as a single unit or in a double configuration thanks to its versatile frame that has adaptors available to add seats or a carrycot. It's not the most cost-effective double stroller, but it does have distinct features that distinguish it from the rest of the market. One of these is an enormous basket that can be placed behind the seat when it's in the parent-facing mode.
Style
Double buggies are generally larger and heavier. If you're planning to purchase a buggie that you will keep for a long period of time, keep this in mind. However, they offer more storage space, usually with a bigger basket for shopping. These seats are also equipped with a child-facing seat and a sunshade that could be extended and an open window. They may also include seats that can recline independently. Some even have a built-in adjustable foot and leg rests which eases any discomfort caused by long walks or prolonged periods of sitting.
Tandems and side-by-sides are the most popular styles of double buggy. Tandems are designed with the children seated side-by-side and sharing the same view. This can prevent sibling fights over seating. They're not foolproof. Children are still able to punch or kick one another when they ride. The side-by-side model is more conventional and has two fixed seats positioned on a single wide stroller frame. They may not offer as many options and are ideal for infants that can sit unassisted but do not need the back support that comes with an infant car seat.
Our lab experts recommend the Cybex Venus if you're looking for a light double from birth. This model is cleverly designed to expand widthways to switch from mono to twin pushchair mode, and can accommodate either two or one carrycot or infant seats. The compact folding design includes an ample shopping basket, rear and front suspension, and a large shopping bag to ensure a smoother ride. The seats and the optional 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 option that is a good value is the Baby Jogger City Mini GT2. Like the Venus one, it's a side by side pushchair that can be set up to suit your family. The pushchair can be set up to accommodate twins or an infant seat. You can also include the Baby Jogger Glider Board as an additional child. The seat reclines independently and the City Mini GT2 features some of the most nimble handling among double buggies, with test drivers reporting it's easy to move up and down kerbs.
Comfort
The seat padding and the fabric are comfortable for both kids and adults and adults, and the UPF 50+ canopy is large enough to offer real shade. It also has a cute peekaboo window. Our test subjects also liked that the seat reclines at multiple angles. The only issue with this model is that it isn't quite as compact twin stroller as other models. However our lab experts stated that it was easy to open and close.
Double strollers are typically heavier and bulkier, as well as more expensive than single buggies, but they're an essential investment for families with two kids who are similar in age (generally under 4). Choose a brand that is designed to last for a long time and retain its value.
Tandem buggies were originally a single pushchair, but they can be fitted with adaptors that permit you to add an extra seat or carrycot or (in certain cases) a 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 reach the age of.
A side-by-side double buggy is generally bigger than other types of buggy however, it's more maneuverable over kerbs as the weight is distributed more evenly. However, it's not a guarantee to prevent sibling rivalries; kids in the same seat may punch or kick one another while riding.
A front-facing tandem can be an alternative to a side-byside model for older children and can be less prone to squabbles between siblings since your children aren't facing each the other. Some children may feel left out in a tandem that faces towards the front, since they don't get the same view.
The egg2 is a chic modern and contemporary product at an affordable price. Our testers loved how easy it was 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 from newborn, or as 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 running buggy buggy available, but it comes with a competitive cost and an excellent selling.
