A double pushchair is a fantastic option for those who enjoy long walks with your toddler and you are planning to have another child. There are a variety of options to choose from.
The majority of tandem buggies are able to adapt to various configurations. Some tandem buggies feature reversible seating that allows siblings to face one another, or you.
Size
If you're buying a double pushchair at birth, it's important to remember that they're usually bigger than single buggies. This is why it's important to ensure that your chosen buggy can fit through your doors and can easily go through kerbs, and up and down steps.
Double strollers double strollers are available in two different styles which are tandem and side-by-side. Tandem buggies are a good option for parents with twins, while side-byside strollers are suitable for children of various ages and are often converted into single-to-double pushchairs by adding a seat or carrycot to the frame.
Most tandem buggies come with seats that face each other and are available in a variety of configurations. This lets your children observe each other while riding. If your children are similar ages they might be able to get along or at the very least not argue over who has the most comfortable seats. you might discover that they're more comfortable in a row instead of facing each other.
The iCandy Venus is a great option for families with twins or children who need to sit together. This beautiful, affordable buggy can also be used in conjunction with an infant car seat so it can grow with your family. To ensure that your infants are cozy and warm in their cocoons iCandy also comes with extra accessories that rival brands charge for separately, like fleecy liners.
Egg2 is another great option for families growing. This sleek pushchair is a favorite among fashion-conscious parents. It can be used as a single unit or in a double thanks to its movable frame, which has adaptors for adding a seat or a carrycot. It's not the most affordable double stroller, but it has certain unique features that distinguish it from other strollers. One of these is an enormous basket that can be placed behind seat when in the parent-facing mode.
Style
Most double buggies are heavier and bulkier than single buggies, so bear that in mind if you're planning on buying one that will last for several years. However, they do provide more storage space, usually with a bigger basket for shopping. They also typically feature seating that is facing the parent, with a sunshade that can be extended and a windows that peek out, as well with seats that recline independently. Some even have a built-in adjustable foot and leg rests, which helps with any discomfort caused by long walks or extended periods of sitting.
The most popular double buggy designs are side-by-sides and tandems. Tandems are designed to have the children seated side-by-side, giving them the same view. This can help avoid sibling rivalries over where to sit. They're not foolproof, and children may still punch or kick one another when they are riding. Side-by-sides is a more traditional format, with two fixed seats arranged on a single-wide stroller frame. They may not offer as many configurations and are best for babies who are able to sit on their own but don't require the back support provided by an infant car seat.
If you're looking for a light double from birth, our lab experts like the Cybex Venus. This model is able to be converted from mono to twin pushchair from birth by expanding in width. It can accommodate two or one infant seat or carrycots. It's also compact when folded, and features a spacious shopping basket as well as rear and front suspensions for a more comfortable ride. The seats and the add-on RumbleSeat are comfortable and padded with adjustable foot and leg rests and generous 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 set it to suit your needs. The pushchair is able to be set to accommodate twins or an infant seat. You can also include the Baby Jogger Glider Board as a third child. The seat can recline independently and the City Mini GT2 features some of the most nimble handling among double buggies with test drivers reporting it's a breeze to manoeuvre up and down kerbs.
Comfort
The seat padding and the fabric are a comfortable fit for both children and adults The UPF 50+ canopy is long enough to offer real shade, and also offers a cute peekaboo view. Our test subjects also liked that the seat reclines at multiple angles. The only drawback is that the fold isn't as small as other models, but our lab experts believe it opens and closes easily.
Double strollers are typically heavier, bulkier and more expensive than single buggies. However, they're a great investment for families with two kids that are close in age (generally under 4). They're likely to be used for a number of years, so choose an excellent brand that you can expect to last and which will retain its value for a long time.
Tandem buggies begin as one pushchair. They come with adapters that let you add another seat, a carrycot or (in certain instances) car seats to the frame. Some of them are fixed doubles, while others - such as this one made by Leclerc - can switch to a side-by-side configuration when your children are ready for it.
While a side-byside is generally wider than other double buggy types, it can be easier to navigate up and down kerbs as the weight is spread more evenly. However, it's not a guarantee for avoiding sibling squabbles as children sharing the same seat could punch or kick one another while riding.
A front-facing tandem is an ideal alternative to a side-by-side model for older children. It can also reduce the chance of fighting between siblings since your children aren't directly facing eachother. It's important to note that some kids can feel left out or isolated when they're in a front-facing tandem because they don't have the same view of their surroundings.
The egg2 is a chic modern product that comes at competitive pricing. Our test participants liked how simple it was to push but they wished it had more storage. They also wished the handlebars were more ergonomic. It's suitable from birth and can be used as a lightweight twin stroller stroller starting at newborn. It's not the cheapest double buggy, but it comes with a competitive price and a great sales.
Storage
If you have more than one child having a double pushchair from birth will make your life easier when out and out and about. There are a myriad of types of double car seat stroller strollers, ranging from tandems to side by side in various styles and colours. However, you should consider your family's needs and the features that are important to you before buying a new one. By assessing your requirements and preferences, you can narrow your choices and select the most appropriate double pram.
A good double buggy should be nimble and user-friendly. This is particularly crucial if you live within an urban area where you'll need a double stroller that can traverse busy streets and squeeze into doorways that are narrow for lunch runs and shopping days out.
Many of the best double buggies come with suspension that will soften the impact of bumps and uneven surfaces as well as recline features for when your little one would like to sleep. It is also crucial that both seats have comfortable straps and buckles with adjustable leg and foot rests and UPF 50+ canopy with peekaboo windows, and reversible seats so siblings can face each other or the world around them.
Another thing to take into consideration when selecting a double pushchair is how compact it can be when folded. Double buggies are often designed to fold down into an incredibly compact size that is easy to carry and fit in small spaces like cupboards. Others might be heavier but will still be relatively easy to transport and store.
If you are on an extremely tight budget, you can still find double strollers for sale at the lowest price. For instance, the Cybex Influencer can be used as a single or a double and comes with an under-seat basket that can be placed underneath the seat in parent-facing mode. It's lightweight double stroller and folds flat. It also comes with a high resale value.
