Buying a Double Pushchair From Birth
A double pushchair is an excellent option for those who enjoy long walks with your toddler and plan to have a second child. There are many choices to choose from.
Most tandem buggies are able to adapt to different configurations. For instance, some come with seats that are reversible, allowing siblings to face one another or the other.
Size
If you’re considering purchasing a double pushchair from birth it’s important to keep in mind that these are usually larger than single buggies. Make sure that the buggy is able to fit into the doors of your home and be capable of moving easily between the kerbs and steps.
Double strollers tend to come in two main formats: tandem and side-by-side. Tandem buggies are an ideal option 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 seating.
Most tandem buggies have seats that face one another and come in various configurations. Pushchairs & Prams allows your children to observe each other while riding. If your children are close enough in age to be able to get along (or at the very least not fight over who has the most comfortable seat!) You might find that they are more comfortable facing each other than sitting next to one another.
A great choice for families with twins or younger siblings who need to sit side by side is the iCandy Venus. This attractive, affordable buggy can also be used with an infant car seat so it can expand with your family. To make sure your newborns are warm and cozy in their cocoons iCandy includes additional accessories that other brands cost separately, such as fleecy liners.
Egg2 is another great option for families growing. This sleek pushchair, which is popular with parents who are image-conscious, can be used either as a single stroller or double stroller because of its adaptors that permit you to add a seat or carrycot. It’s not the most cost-effective double stroller, however it does come with distinct features that make it stand out from the rest of the market. One of them is the large basket that is placed behind the seat when it is in the parent-facing mode.
Style
Double buggies are generally larger and heavier. If you’re planning to purchase a buggie that you intend to be using for a long time, keep this in mind. However, they offer more storage space, usually with a bigger basket for shopping. They usually also have seating that is facing the parent, with an extendable sunshade as well as a the peekaboo window, aswell being reclining seats that can be reclined independently. Some even have a built-in adjustable foot and leg rests which eases any discomfort that is caused by long walks or prolonged periods of sitting.
Tandems and side-by-sides are the most well-known types of double buggy. Tandems are designed with children seated side-by-side with the same view. This can prevent sibling fights over where to sit. They’re not foolproof and children are still able to punch or kick each other when they are riding. Side-by-side is more traditional and has two fixed seats mounted on a single, wide stroller frame. They might not have the same number of configurations and are typically best for babies who are comfortable sitting unaided but don’t require the back support of an infant car seat.
Our lab experts recommend the Cybex Venus if you’re looking for a lightweight, double from birth. This innovative model can be changed from mono to twin by expanding the width. It can be used to accommodate one or two infant seats or carrycots. It’s also compact when folded, and features a spacious shopping basket and rear and front suspensions for a more comfortable ride. The seats, including the RumbleSeat, are padded, comfortable, and have adjustable leg and footrests. They also come with generous UPF 50+ canopy that offers plenty of shade.
The Baby Jogger City Mini GT2 is a similar value product. Like the Venus, it’s a side-by-side pushchair that can be configured to suit your family. The pushchair can be configured to accommodate twins or an infant seat. You can also include the Baby Jogger Glider Board as an additional child. The seat can recline independently, and the City Mini GT2 has some of the best 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 comfortable for children. In addition the UPF 50+ canopies are long enough to provide shade and have an adorable peekaboo feature. Our test participants also loved that the seat reclines at a variety of angles. The only drawback to this model is that it’s not quite as compact as other models. However, our lab experts said it was easy to open and close.
Double strollers are generally heavier, bulkier and more expensive than single buggies, however they’re a must-have for families with two kids who are similar in age (generally under 4). Choose a brand that will last for a long time and will not lose its value.
Tandem buggies were originally a single pushchair, but they come with adaptors that allow you to add an extra seat, carrycot, or (in certain situations) an automobile seat to the frame. Some are fixed doubles, however others – like this one made by Leclerc – can switch to a side-by-side configuration when your children are old enough to be ready for it.
A side-by-side double buggy generally larger than other types, but it is more maneuverable over kerbs since the weight is distributed more evenly. However, it’s not foolproof to prevent sibling rivalries as children sharing the same seat may kick or punch each other while riding.
A front-facing tandem can be an alternative to a traditional side-by-side model for older kids and may be less prone to sibling squabbles, as your children aren’t facing each the other. Some children may be a bit secluded when a tandem faces forward, as they don’t have the same perspective.
The egg2 is a chic modern product that comes at a competitive price. Our test subjects loved the ease of use and push, but they would prefer it had more storage space and that the handlebars were more comfortable. It is suitable for babies and can be used as a twin stroller starting at newborn. It is not the cheapest double buggy, however it is competitive in price and excellent resale.
Storage
If you have more than one child having a double pushchair from birth will make your life much easier while out and about. There are a variety of double strollers available from tandems to side-by-sides and tandems in different colors and styles. However, you should be aware of your family’s lifestyle and the features that are important to you before purchasing a product. By assessing your needs, you can narrow down your choices and select the most appropriate double pram.
A quality double buggy should be nimble and easy to maneuver. It should be lightweight. This is especially crucial when you live in a city area where you require a double buggy that can maneuver through busy streets and pass through doorways that are narrow to go shopping or on lunch runs.
The majority of the top double buggies are equipped with suspension that softens the impact on bumps and uneven surfaces. They also have recline features for when your child wants to take a nap. The seats should be able to adjust leg and footrests, UPF 50+ canopy, with a peekaboo window, and comfy straps and buckles.
Another aspect to consider when selecting a double pushchair is how small it will fold when folded. Certain double buggies are able to be folded down into a compact size that is easy to carry, and will fit in small spaces like cabinets. Double buggies are made to fold into a compact size that is easy to carry and can fit in small spaces like cupboards.
If you have a less budget to work with, you can find some high-quality double strollers that can do the job. For instance, the Cybex Influencer can be used as a single stroller or a double, and it comes with a basket that sits underneath the seat in a parent-facing position. It is also lightweight, can be folded flat and has a huge resale potential.
The UPPAbaby is a great option for families because it can accommodate two infant car seats and be set up in various ways. It can be set up with reversible seats, so that your children can look at each other or the entire world. It is also equipped with a bassinet for newborns.
