Buying a Double Pushchair From Birth

A double pushchair is an excellent option if you enjoy long walks with your toddler, and you are planning to have a second child. There are plenty of options to pick from.

The majority of tandem buggies are configured in a variety of ways. For example, some have seats that are reversible, allowing siblings to face each other or you.

Size

If you're considering purchasing a double pushchair at birth, it's important to remember that these are usually larger than single buggies. It is important to ensure that your buggy can fit through the doors of your home and is capable of easily moving up and over kerbs and stairs.

Double strollers are available in two different styles: tandem and side by side. Tandem buggies are a good choice for parents with twins. Side-by-side strollers are ideal for children of all ages and can be transformed into a double-sized stroller by adding seating.

The majority of tandem buggies are constructed with seats facing each other and offer multiple seat configurations, allowing your children to see each other when they ride. If your children are close enough in age to be able to get along (or at the very least not fight over who is the best seat!) you might find that they're more at ease sitting side by side rather than facing one another.

A great choice for families with twins or younger siblings who need to be seated side-by-side is the iCandy Venus. This stylish and affordable buggy comes with the added bonus of being able to take an infant car seat too, so it can grow with your family. iCandy includes extra accessories, like fleece liners, which will ensure that your baby stays warm and cozy in their cocoons.

Another option for growing families is the Egg2. This stylish pushchair, which is popular among parents who are image-conscious, can be used either as a single stroller or a double stroller due to its adaptors, which allow you to add a seat or a carrycot. It's not the least expensive double pushchairs stroller available, but it has some unique features that distinguish it from its competitors, including the large shopping basket that can be placed behind the seat when it is in parent-facing mode.

Style

Double buggies are generally larger and heavier. If you plan to purchase a buggie that you will keep for a long period of time take this into consideration. They do have more storage space and a larger basket. They also come with a seat that faces the parent as well as a sunshade which can be extended and an open window. They could also have seats that can recline independently. Some models include an adjustable foot and leg rest that can be adjusted to alleviate any discomfort caused by walking or prolonged periods of sitting.

The most popular double buggy styles are side-bysides and tandems. Tandems have the children positioned on opposite sides, which gives them both the same view and can help to avoid sibling squabbles over who gets to sit where. They're not foolproof. Children may still punch or kick one another while riding. The side-by-side format is more traditional with two fixed seats that are mounted on a single stroller frame. They may not offer the same variety of options, and they're usually ideal for babies who are comfortable sitting unaided but don't yet need the back support of an infant car seat.

The seats as well as the added RumbleSeat are comfortable and padded and come with adjustable foot and leg rests and generous UPF 50+ canopy which offer plenty of shade.

Another good-value choice 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 meet your requirements. It takes only one infant car seat, and you can add the Baby Jogger Glider Board for the third person (though it limits the use to twins).

Comfort

A side-by-side double buggy typically bigger than other types of buggy, but it is easier to maneuver over kerbs as the weight is distributed more evenly. It's not foolproof to prevent sibling fights. Children in the same seat could punch or kick one another while riding.

A front-facing tandem can be an alternative to a traditional side-by-side model for older kids. It may be less prone to squabbles between siblings since your children aren't directly facing each the other. It's important to remember that some children may feel lonely or disengaged when they're in a front-facing tandem as they won't have the same view of the world around them.
