20 Fun Facts About Double Pushchair From Birth

Buying a Double Pushchair From Birth

A double pushchair is an excellent option if you love long walks with your toddler, and are planning to have an additional child. There are numerous options to choose from.

Most tandem buggies are able to adapt to various configurations. Some tandem buggies have seats that can be reversed to allow siblings to face one another, or you.

Size

If you're buying a double pushchair from birth it's worth bearing in mind that they are generally larger than single buggies. It is important to ensure that the buggy is able to fit through the doorways of your house and is capable of moving easily up and over stairs and kerbs.

Double strollers tend to come in two main formats that are tandem and side-by-side. Tandem buggies are a good choice for parents with twins. Side-by-side strollers are suitable for children of all ages, and can be converted to a single-to-double stroller with the addition of seating.

Most tandem buggies come with seats that face each other and come in multiple configurations. This lets your children be able to see each other while riding. However, if your kids are old enough to be able to coexist (or at the very least not fight over who has the most comfortable seat!) then you may discover that they're more comfortable together rather than facing each other.

A great choice for families with twins or younger siblings that need to sit together is the iCandy Venus. This attractive, affordable buggy can also be used with an infant car seat, so it can grow along with your family. To ensure your babies are cozy and warm in their cocoons, iCandy also include extra accessories that rival brands charge for separately, like fleecy liners.

Another option for growing families is the Egg2. This stylish pushchair, which 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, which allow you to add a seat or a carrycot. It's not the least expensive double stroller on the market but it does have some distinctive features that distinguish it from competitors, including a large shopping basket that can be placed behind the seat in parent-facing mode.

Style

Most double buggies are heavier and bulkier than single buggies So keep this in mind when contemplating buying a vehicle that will last for several years. However, they do provide more storage space, usually with a bigger shopping basket. They usually also have seating that is facing the parent, with an extendable sunshade and windows that peek out, as well with seats that recline independently. Some even have a built-in adjustable foot and leg rests that eases any discomfort caused from long walks or long periods of sitting.

The most well-known double buggy styles include side-by-sides and tandems. Tandems are designed with the children sitting side-by-side with the same view. This helps avoid sibling rivalries over seating. However, they're not completely safe, and children are able to punch or kick each on the other while they're riding. The side-by-side model is more conventional, with two fixed seats positioned on a single stroller frame. They might not come with the same number of configurations, and are best for babies who are able to sit on their own but do not need the back support offered by an infant car seat.

The seats which include the RumbleSeat, are padded and comfortable, as well as adjustable leg and footrests. They also have a an ample UPF 50+ canopy that provides plenty of shade.

The Baby Jogger City Mini GT2 is another good value option. It's a side-by-side pushchair, similar to the Venus. You can configure it to meet your needs. It can accommodate a single infant car seat and can be paired with the Baby Jogger Glider Board for a third passenger (though this limits the use to twins). The seat can recline independently and the City Mini GT2 has some of the most comfortable handling among double buggies. Testers noted that it was easy to move between kerbs.

Comfort

While a side-by-side is generally larger than other double buggy types it is able to move up and down kerbs as the weight is distributed more evenly. But it's not 100% reliable to prevent sibling rivalries; kids in the same seat can punch or kick each other when they ride.

A front-facing tandem can be an alternative to a side-by-side model for older children and may be less prone to squabbles between siblings, since your children aren't directly facing each the other. Some children might feel excluded in a tandem that faces toward the rear, as they don't get the same view.
