Buying a Double Pushchair From BirthA double pushchair is a fantastic option if you enjoy long walks with your toddler, and are planning to have an additional child. There are many options to pick from.Most tandem buggies can adapt to various configurations. For instance, some come with reversible seats that let siblings face one another or the other.SizeIf you’re considering purchasing a double pushchair at birth, it’s worth bearing in mind that they are generally larger than single buggies. This is why you must ensure that your chosen buggy is able to pass through your doors and can easily go up and down kerbs and steps.Double strollers tend to come in two main formats that are tandem and side-by-side. Tandem buggies can be a good choice 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 with the addition of seats.The majority of tandem buggies have seats that face one another and come in various configurations. This lets your children observe each other while riding. If your children are of similar ages, they may be able to work together or at least not argue over who has the most comfortable seats. You may find that they’re more comfortable together rather than facing each other.The iCandy Venus is a great option for families with twins, or younger siblings that need to sit together. This stylish, budget-friendly buggy can also be used with an infant car seat so that it can grow along with your family. iCandy comes with extra accessories, like fleecy liners, to ensure that your baby stays warm and cozy in their cocoons.Egg2 is another great option for families who are growing. This stylish pushchair is a favorite among fashion-conscious parents, and it can be used as a single unit or as a double due to its movable frame, which has adaptors to fit a seat or a carrycot. It’s not the most affordable double stroller, but it has distinct features that distinguish it from the rest of the market. One of these is a large basket that sits behind the seat when it’s in the parent-facing mode.StyleDouble buggies are usually heavier and bulkier. If you’re planning to buy one that you intend to use for several years, keep this in mind. However, they do provide more storage space, usually with a bigger basket for shopping. They typically also come with seating that is facing the parent, with an extendable sunshade and peekaboo window, as well with seats that recline independently. Some models come with an adjustable leg and foot rest that can be adjusted to alleviate any discomfort caused by long walking or prolonged periods of sitting.The most well-known double buggy designs are side-by-sides and tandems. Tandems are designed to have the children seated side-by-side and sharing the same view. This can help avoid sibling rivalries over seating. However, they’re still not 100% secure, and children can kick or punch each other while riding. Side-by-sides are a more traditional model, featuring two fixed seats assembled on one frame for a stroller. They don’t offer the same variety of options, and they’re usually recommended for infants who have mastered unassisted sitting but don’t require the back support of an infant car seat.If you’re looking for a lightweight double from birth Our lab experts recommend the Cybex Venus. This innovative model can be transformed from mono to twin mode by extending widthways. It can be used to accommodate two or one infant seat and/or carrycots. It’s also compact when folded, and comes with a large shopping basket and front and rear suspension for smoother travel. The seats and the optional RumbleSeat are padded and comfortable with adjustable leg and foot rests and large UPF 50+ canopy which offer plenty of shade.The Baby Jogger City Mini GT2 is a similar value product. It’s a two-in-one pushchair that’s similar to the Venus. You can configure it to meet your requirements. The pushchair can be set up to accommodate twins or a single infant seat. You can also add the Baby Jogger Glider Board as a third 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 move up and down kerbs.ComfortThe padding and fabric of the seat are comfortable for kids. Additionally, the UPF 50+ canopies are large enough to provide shade and a cute peekaboo feature. Our testers also appreciated that the seat reclines at multiple angles. The only issue is that the fold isn’t as compact as some other models, however our lab experts believe it is easy to open and close.Double strollers are typically heavier, bulkier and more expensive than single buggies, however they’re a great investment for families with two children who are similar in age (generally under 4). They’re likely to be used for a number of years, so choose an excellent brand that will last and will hold its value.Tandem buggies start life as one pushchair. They come with adaptors that allow you to add a second seat, carrycot or (in certain instances) car seats to the frame. Some are fixed doubles while others, like this one made by Leclerc can be changed to a side-by-side configuration when your children are old enough.A side-by-side double buggy is usually bigger than other types of buggy however it is much easier to maneuver over kerbs because the weight is distributed more evenly. It’s not 100% safe to avoid sibling fights. Children sharing a seat can kick or punch one another while riding.A front-facing tandem is a good alternative to a side-by-side model for older children. It can also reduce the likelihood of sibling fights since your children aren’t directly facing each other. Some children may be a bit secluded in a tandem that is facing towards the front, since they don’t get the same perspective.The egg2 features a sleek modern design and attractive price tag. Our testers liked how easy to push, but they would like to have more storage. They also wished the handlebars were more comfortable. It is suitable from birth and can be used in twin mode as early as newborn, or as a combination of carrycot(s)/infant seats/car seat(s) for twins. It’s also the most flexible of our double buggies which is why it’s been a MadeForMums favourite since 2009. It’s not the most affordable double stroller available but it’s reasonably priced and has a high selling value.StorageIf you have more than one child having a double pushchair from birth will make your life much easier while out and about.

They also have a recline function to allow your child to lie down.
