Buying a Double Pushchair From Birth

A double pushchair is a great option if you love long walks with your toddler, and you are planning to have a second child. There are a variety of options to choose from.

Most tandem buggies can be configured in a variety ways. Some tandem buggies feature reversible seating that allows siblings to sit facing one another, or you.

Size

It’s important to keep in mind that double buggies are generally larger than single to double buggy buggies. That’s why you need to ensure that your chosen buggy is able to pass through your doors and is able to easily move through kerbs, and up and down steps.

Double strollers come in two styles which are tandem and side by side. Tandem buggies are an excellent option for parents with twins, whereas side-by-side strollers are suitable for children of different ages and are often converted into single-to-double pushchairs, by adding an extra seat or carrycot to the frame.

Most tandem buggies are designed with the seats facing one another and offer a variety of seat configurations which allows your children to see each other as they ride. If your children are of a similar age to be able to get along (or at the very least not fight over who has the most comfortable seat!) You may find that they’re more at ease sitting side by side rather than facing one another.

A great choice for families with twins or younger siblings who require to sit side by side is the iCandy Venus. This beautiful and budget-friendly buggy also comes with the added benefit of being able to take an infant car seat too, so it can expand with your family. iCandy comes with additional accessories, such as fleecy liners, to ensure that your infants stay warm and snug in their cocoons.

Egg2 is a great alternative for families who are growing. This sleek pushchair is a popular choice for image-conscious parents. It can be used as a single or in a double configuration thanks to its movable frame that has adaptors available to fit seats or a carrycot. It’s not the most affordable double stroller, but it does have distinct features that distinguish it from other strollers. One of these is a large basket that sits behind the seat when it’s in the parent-facing position.

Style

Double buggies are usually heavier and bulkier. If you are planning to purchase one that you will use for several years, keep this in mind. However, they do provide more storage space, typically with a bigger basket for shopping. They also typically feature seats that are facing the parents, with an extendable sunshade and windows that peek out, as well with seats that recline independently. Some even have a built-in adjustable leg and foot rest that eases any discomfort caused from long walks or long periods of sitting.

Side-by-sides, and tandems are the most popular styles of double buggy. Tandems are designed to have the children placed side by side with each other, giving them the same view. It can also help to avoid sibling squabbles about who sits where. However, they’re not 100% secure, and children can kick or punch each one another while riding. The side-by-side format is more conventional with two fixed seats positioned on a single, wide stroller frame. They don’t offer the same variety of options and are generally ideal for babies who have mastered unassisted sitting but don’t need the back support of an infant car seat.

If you’re looking to purchase a light double from birth, our lab experts like the Cybex Venus. This model is cleverly designed to expand widthways to convert from mono to twin mode, taking either one or two carrycots and/or infant seats. It’s also compact when folded, and features a spacious shopping basket and front and rear suspension for smoother travel. The seats, including the RumbleSeat are padded and comfortable. They also have adjustable footrests and leg rests. They also have a generous UPF 50+ canopy, which provides 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 is compatible with 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 reclines independently and the City Mini GT2 features some of the most fluid handling of double buggies, with users stating it’s easy to move through kerbs and up and down.

Comfort

The padding and fabric are comfortable for both kids and adults, and the UPF 50+ canopy is large enough to provide real shade. It also offers a cute peekaboo window. The seat reclines in multiple positions,, which our testers appreciated. The only drawback is that the fold isn’t as small as other models, however our lab experts say it opens and closes easily.

Double buggies are heavier, bulkier, and more expensive, but are ideal for families who have two children who are similar in age (generally less than 4). They’re likely to be used for several years, so you should choose the best twin stroller brand you can count on to last for a long time and that will keep its value for a long time.

Tandem buggies start life as one pushchair. They come with adapters that let you add a second seat, carrycot or (in certain cases) car seats 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 are old enough.

Although a side-by-side is typically wider than other types of double buggy it is able to navigate up and down kerbs as the weight is spread more evenly. It’s not a guarantee to keep siblings from fighting. Children in the same seat could punch or kick each other while riding.

A front-facing tandem is a good 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 in front of each other. It’s important to note that some kids can feel left out or isolated when they’re in a front-facing tandem since they don’t have the same view of their surroundings.

The egg2 is a sleek modern product that comes at competitive pricing. Our testers were impressed by the ease of use and push, but they would prefer it had more storage and that the handlebars were more comfortable. It’s suitable for babies from birth, and can be used in twin mode as early as newborn, or as a 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 favourite since 2009. It’s not the least expensive double stroller with car seat stroller on the market however it’s competitively priced and has a high resale value.

Storage

A quality double buggy must be small and user-friendly. This is particularly important if you live in an urban environment where you will need an extra pram to navigate through busy streets and fit into narrow doorways for lunch runs and shopping days out.

A lot of the top double buggies have suspensions that reduce the impact of bumps and uneven surfaces and recline features for when your little one wants to take a snooze. Both seats should have adjustable footrests and leg rests, UPF 50+ canopy, with peekaboo window, and comfortable buckles and straps.

Others may be slightly bulkier but they’ll still be easy to transport and store.

If you have a smaller budget to work with, you can find some great value double strollers that can be used.
