7 Simple Strategies To Completely Moving Your Double Pushchair From Birth

Buying a Double Pushchair From Birth
A double pushchair is an excellent option if you love long walks with your toddler and plan to have another child. There are many choices to choose from.
The majority of tandem buggies are configured in a variety of ways. Some tandem buggies feature seats that can be reversed to allow siblings to be facing each other or even you.
Size
If you're purchasing a double pushchair from birth it's worth bearing in mind that these are usually larger than single buggies. Make sure that the buggy is able to fit through the doors of your home and be capable of moving easily up and over the kerbs and steps.
Double strollers are available in two main designs which are tandem and side by side. Tandem buggies can be 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 the seats facing one another. They also offer a variety of seat configurations allowing your children to see each other as they ride. If your children are the same age they might be able to coexist or at least not argue over who gets the most comfortable seats. You may discover that they're more at ease sitting side by side 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 beautiful, affordable buggy can also be used with an infant car seat so it can expand with your family. iCandy comes with extra accessories, such as fleecy liners to ensure that your newborns stay warm and cozy in their cocoons.
Another option for growing families is the Egg2. This stylish stroller is a favourite among image-conscious parents. It can be used as a single or in a double configuration thanks to its movable frame with adaptors to add a seat or carrycot. It's not the most affordable double stroller available, but it has some unique characteristics that differentiate it from competitors, including the large shopping basket that sits behind the seat when it is in parent-facing mode.
Style
Double buggies are generally larger and heavier. If you are planning to buy one that you intend to use for several years be aware of this. They have more storage space and a bigger basket. They usually also have seating that is facing the parent, with a sunshade that can be extended and a peekaboo window, as well being reclining seats that can be reclined independently. Some models include an adjustable leg and foot rest that can be adjusted to ease any discomfort caused by walking or prolonged periods of sitting.
The most popular double buggy designs are side-by-sides and tandems. Tandems place the children side by side and give them the same view and can help avoid sibling arguments over who gets to sit where. They're not foolproof, and children can still kick or punch one another when they ride. Side-by-sides are a classic model, featuring two fixed seats that are affixed to one frame for a stroller. They might not have as many configurations, and they're usually ideal for babies who are comfortable sitting unaided but don't require the back support of a car seat.
Our lab experts recommend the Cybex Venus if you're seeking a light, double from birth. This clever model expands widthways to convert from mono to twin mode, taking either one or two carrycots and/or infant seats. The compact folding design includes a large shopping basket, front and rear suspension, and a large shopping bag for a smoother ride. The seats, including the RumbleSeat are padded and comfortable, as well as adjustable leg and footrests. They also have a generous UPF 50+ canopy, which provides plenty of shade.
Another good-value choice is the Baby Jogger City Mini GT2. Similar to the Venus one, it's a side by side pushchair that can be configured to meet the needs of your family. The pushchair can be set up 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 has some of the best handling among double buggies. Testers said that it was easy to maneuver between kerbs.
Comfort
The padding and fabric are comfortable for both kids, plus the UPF 50+ canopy is wide enough to provide real shade, and also offers a cute peekaboo window. The seat reclines in a variety of positions, too which our test subjects loved. The only downside is that the fold isn't as small as other models, however our lab experts say it opens and closes easily.
Double strollers are typically heavier and bulkier as well as costlier than single buggies. However, they're a great investment for families with two children who are close in age (generally less than 4 years old). They're also likely to be used for several years, so choose an excellent brand that you can count on to last and which will retain its value for a long time.
Tandem buggies start life as an individual pushchair, but they have adaptors that allow you to add an additional seat, carrycot or (in certain cases) car seats to the frame. Some of them are fixed doubles, while others - such as this one made by Leclerc can be changed to a side-by-side configuration when your children are ready for it.
A side-by-side double buggy generally bigger than other types of buggy however, it's more maneuverable over kerbs as the weight is distributed more evenly. But it's not 100% reliable to avoid sibling fights as children sharing the same seat could kick or punch each other when they ride.
A front-facing tandem can be an alternative to a side-by-side model for older kids and can be less prone to squabbles between siblings, since your children aren't facing each the other. Some children might be a bit secluded in a tandem that is facing towards the front, since they don't have the same perspective.
The egg2 has a sleek modern design, a contemporary style and an attractive price. Our testers loved how easy it is to push, but wished it had more storage and that the handlebars were more comfortable. It's suitable from birth, and can be used in twin mode from newborn or in 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 favorite since 2009. It is not the cheapest double buggy, however it is competitive in price and a great selling.
