Why No One Cares 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 you are planning to have a second child. There are many options to pick from.
The majority of tandem buggies are configured in a variety ways. For instance, some models have seats that are reversible, allowing siblings to face one another or the other.
Size
If you're purchasing a double pushchair from birth it's important to remember that they are generally larger than single buggies. This is why you must ensure that the buggy you select fits through your home's doorways and can easily maneuver between kerbs and steps.
Double strollers are available in two styles which are tandem and side by side. Tandem buggies can be an ideal option for parents with twins. Side-by-side strollers are ideal for children of all ages, and can be converted to a double pram stroller-sized stroller by adding seats.
Most tandem buggies have seats that face one another and come in multiple configurations. This lets your children be able to see each other while riding. However, if your children are of a similar age to get along (or at least not fight over who is the best seat!) You might find that they are more comfortable facing each other than sitting next to one another.
The iCandy Venus is a great option for families with twins, or younger siblings that need to sit together. This beautiful, affordable buggy can also be used in conjunction with an infant car seat, so it can grow along with your family. iCandy includes extra accessories, such as fleece liners, which will ensure that your newborns stay warm and cozy in their cocoons.
Egg2 is a different option for families growing. This sleek pushchair is a favourite among image-conscious parents, and it can be used as a single unit or as a double due to its versatile frame with adaptors to add a seat or a carrycot. It's not the cheapest double stroller on the market but it does have some unique features that set it apart from other strollers, such as a large shopping basket that is placed behind the seat in parent-facing mode.
Style
Most double buggies are heavier and bulkier than single buggies, so bear this in mind when planning on buying one that will last for several years. They do have more storage space and a larger basket. They also typically feature seats that are facing the parents, with an extendable sunshade as well as a windows that peek out, as well with seats that recline independently. Some models come with an adjustable leg and foot rest that can be adjusted to relieve any discomfort that is caused by long walking or long periods of sitting.
Tandems and side-by-sides are the most popular styles of double buggy. Tandems are designed to have the children seated side-by-side, giving them the same perspective. This helps avoid siblings fighting over seating. They're not foolproof, and children are still able to punch or kick one another while riding. Side-by-sides is a more traditional model, featuring two fixed seats that are affixed to one frame for a stroller. They might not have the same variety of options 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 are seeking a light, double from birth. This clever model expands widthways in order to change from mono to twin mode, and can accommodate either one or two carrycots and/or infant seats. It's also compact when folded and has a large shopping basket, as well as rear and front suspensions for a more comfortable ride. The seats as well as the added RumbleSeat are padded and comfortable and come with adjustable foot and leg rests, as well as generous UPF 50+ canopy which provide 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 meet the needs of your family. It takes only one infant car seat and you can also add the Baby Jogger Glider Board for the third person (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 said that it was easy to move through kerbs and up and down.
Comfort
The seat padding and fabrics are comfortable for both kids The UPF 50+ canopy is wide enough to offer real shade and offers a cute peekaboo view. Our test subjects also liked that the seat reclines at multiple angles. The only downside is that the fold isn't as compact as other models, however our lab experts say it can be opened and closed easily.
Double strollers are typically heavier, bulkier and more expensive than single buggies. However, they're an essential investment for families with two children who are similar in age (generally less than 4 years old). Select a brand that can last for many years and will not lose its value.
Tandem buggies were originally one-person pushchairs, but they can be fitted with adaptors that permit the addition of an additional seat, carrycot, or (in certain instances) a car seat to the frame. Some are fixed doubles while others, like this one by Leclerc can be changed into a side-by-side layout once your children reach the age of.
While a side-by-side is generally wider than other double buggy types It can be a bit easier to maneuver between kerbs since the weight is spread more evenly. It's not 100% safe to prevent sibling fights. Children in the same seat could punch or kick each other while riding.
A front-facing tandem can be an alternative to a side-by-side model for older children and is less susceptible to sibling squabbles, as your children aren't facing each the other. Some children may feel left out when a tandem faces forward, as they don't get the same view.
The egg2 is a stylish modern and contemporary product at a competitive price. Our testers liked how easy it was to push, but wished that it had more storage. They also wanted the handlebars were more ergonomic. It's suitable from birth, and can be used in twin stroller side by side mode from newborn, or as the 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 popular model since 2009. It is not the cheapest double buggy, but it comes with a competitive cost and an excellent selling.
