Buying a Double Pushchair From Birth A double pushchair is a fantastic option if you enjoy long walks with your toddler and plan to have an additional child. There are many options available. The majority of tandem buggies can adapt to various configurations. For example, some have seats that can be reversed to let your siblings face each other or to the side. Size If you're buying a double pushchair from birth it's important to keep in mind that they're usually bigger than single buggies. This is why you must make sure that the buggy you choose is able to pass through your doorways and can easily maneuver up and down kerbs and steps. Double strollers come in two different styles: 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 by adding seating. Most tandem buggies are built with seats facing one another. They also provide a variety of seat configurations, which allows your children to see each other while they ride. However, if your children are close enough in age to be able to coexist (or at least not argue over who gets the most comfortable seat!) You may find that they're more at ease sitting side by side rather than facing each other. A great choice for families with twins or younger siblings that need to sit side by side is the iCandy Venus. This stylish and affordable buggy also has the added bonus of being able to take an infant car seat too, so it can grow with your family. iCandy includes extra accessories, such as fleece liners, which will ensure that your baby stays warm and snug in their cocoons. Another great option for growing families is the Egg2. This stylish pushchair, that is popular with parents who are a bit glam, can be used either as a single stroller or a double stroller because of its adaptors, which allow you to add a seat or carrycot. It's not the most affordable double stroller, but it does have certain unique features that distinguish it from other strollers. One of them is a large basket that sits behind seat when in the parent-facing position. Style The majority of double buggies are heavier and bulkier than single buggies, so bear this in mind when looking to purchase a model that will last many years. They do come with more storage space, and a larger basket. These seats also come with a seat that faces the parent, a sunshade that can be extended, as well as an open window. They may also have seats that 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. compact double buggy have the children positioned side by side, which gives them both the same view and may help to avoid sibling squabbles over who gets to sit where. double infant stroller 're not foolproof. Children are still able to punch or kick each other when they ride. Side-by-side is more traditional with two fixed seats that are mounted on a single stroller frame. They may not offer as many configurations, and they're usually ideal for babies who have mastered unassisted sitting but don't require the back support of an infant car seat. If you're looking for a light double from birth our lab experts recommend the Cybex Venus. This clever model expands widthways to convert from mono to twin mode, and can accommodate either two or one carrycot or infant seats. The compact folding design includes a large shopping basket, front and rear suspension and a spacious shopping bag to ensure a smoother ride. The seats, including the RumbleSeat are padded and comfortable. They also have adjustable footrests and leg rests. They also come with a an ample UPF 50+ canopy that offers plenty of shade. Another option that is a good value is the Baby Jogger City Mini GT2. It's a side by side pushchair, similar to the Venus. You can configure it to suit your needs. It is compatible with one car seat for infants and you can also add the Baby Jogger Glider Board for a third passenger (though it limits the use to twins). The seat can recline independently, and the City Mini GT2 features some of the most fluid handling among double buggies with testers reporting it's easy to maneuver through kerbs and up and down. Comfort The fabric and padding of the seat are both comfortable for kids. In addition, the UPF 50+ canopies are long enough to provide shade and the cute peekaboo feature.

They're likely to be used for many years, so make sure you choose the best brand you can count on to last for a long time and that will keep its value. Tandem buggies are originally a single pushchair, however they have adaptors which allow you to add an extra seat or carrycot or (in certain situations) a car seat to the frame. Some are fixed doubles while others, like this one made by Leclerc, can be converted to a side-byside configuration once your children reach the age of. A side-by-side double buggy is typically bigger than other types of buggy, but it is more maneuverable over kerbs because the weight is distributed more evenly. It's not a guarantee to keep siblings from fighting. Children sharing the same seat could punch or kick each other while riding. A front-facing tandem is an alternative to a traditional side-by-side model for older children and may be less prone to squabbles between siblings since your children aren't facing each the other. It's important to note that some kids can feel left out or isolated in a front-facing tandem, as they won't have the same view of the world around them.

They also wanted the handlebars were more comfortable.
