Buying a Double Pushchair From Birth

If you enjoy long walks with your toddler and you are considering having the birth of a second child, a double pushchair can simplify family life. There are a variety of options to choose from.





The majority of tandem buggies can be set up in a variety of ways. For instance, some come with seats that are reversible, allowing siblings to face one another or the other.

Size

If you're considering purchasing a double pushchair right from the start, it's worth bearing in mind that they are generally larger than single buggies. This is why it's important to 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 tend to come in two different styles such as tandem and side-byside. Tandem buggies are the best option for parents with twins. Side-by-side strollers are ideal for children of all ages and can be transformed into a single-to-double stroller with the addition of a seat.

Most tandem buggies are built with seats facing one another. They also offer multiple seat configurations, which allows your children to see each other as they ride. However, if your children are of a similar age to be able to get along (or at least not fight over who is the most comfortable seat!) You may find they are more comfortable sitting together rather than close to one another.

A great option for families with twins or younger siblings who require to be seated side-by-side is the iCandy Venus. This attractive and affordable buggy also has the added benefit of being able to carry an infant car seat and grow with your family. iCandy includes extra accessories, like fleece liners, which will ensure that your newborns stay warm and snug in their cocoons.

Another great option for expanding families is the Egg2. This stylish pushchair, that is popular with parents who are conscious of their appearance, can be used either as a single stroller or a double stroller thanks to its adaptors that permit you to add a seat or a carrycot. It's not the most affordable double stroller, however it does come with some unique features which distinguish it from its competitors. One of these is a large basket that sits behind the seat when it is in the parent-facing position.

Style

Double buggies are heavier and bulkier than single models Be aware of this in mind if planning on buying one that will last for several years.

The most well-known double buggy styles include side-by-sides and tandems. Tandems have the children positioned in a row with each other, giving them the same view. It can also help to avoid sibling squabbles over who gets to sit where. They're not foolproof, and children are still able to punch or kick one another while riding. Side-by-sides are a more traditional design, with two fixed seats that are affixed to the same frame of a stroller.

A side-by-side double buggy is usually wider than other types, but it is easier to maneuver over kerbs as the weight is distributed more evenly. It's not 100% safe to avoid sibling fights. Children in the same seat can kick or punch one another while riding.
