Buying a Double Pushchair From Birth

If you enjoy long walks with your toddler and are considering having the birth of a second child using a double jogging stroller pushchair, it can simplify your family life. Luckily there are many options to pick from.

The majority of tandem buggies can be configured in a variety of ways. For instance, some models have seats that are reversible, allowing siblings to face each other or to the side.

Size

It's important to keep in mind that double buggies are generally larger than single buggies. This is why it's important to ensure that the buggy you select is able to pass through your doors and can easily go through kerbs, and up and down steps.

Double strollers tend to come in two basic forms: tandem and side-by-side. Tandem buggies are an ideal option for parents with twins. Side-by-side strollers work for children of all ages and can be converted into a double-sized stroller by adding a seat.

The majority of tandem buggies have seats that face each other and are available in a variety of configurations. This allows your children to observe each other while riding. If your children are the same age, they may be able to coexist or at least not argue about who gets the best seats. You might find that they are more comfortable sitting together rather than close to one another.

The iCandy Venus is a great option for families with twins, or children who require a seat. 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 snuggly and warm in their cocoons, iCandy also comes with extra accessories that rival brands cost separately, such as fleecy lines.

Another great option for expanding families is the Egg2. This stylish pushchair, that is popular with parents who are a bit glam and want to look their best, can be used as a single stroller or double jogging stroller stroller thanks to its adaptors, which allow you to add a seat or carrycot. It's not the most affordable double stroller, but it has certain unique features that set it apart from other strollers. One of these is a large basket that sits behind the seat when it is in the parent-facing position.

Style

The majority of double buggies tend to be heavier and bulkier than single buggies, so bear that in mind if you're planning on buying one that will see you through several years. They do come with more storage space and a bigger basket. They also come with a seat that faces the parent and a sunshade that could be extended, and an open window. They may also have seats that recline independently. Some have an adjustable foot and leg rests, which helps with any discomfort that is caused by long walks or prolonged periods of sitting.

Tandems and side-by-sides are the most well-known types of double buggy. Tandems are designed to have the children seated side-byside, giving them the same view. This helps avoid sibling fights over seating. But they're not completely safe, and children may punch or kick each other while riding. The side-by-side model is more conventional with two fixed seats that are mounted on a single stroller frame. They might not come with as many options and are best for babies who are able to sit on their own but do not require the back support offered by an infant car seat.

This clever model expands widthways to convert from mono to twin mode, allowing either one or two carrycots and/or infant seats. It's also compact when folded, and has a large shopping basket and front and rear suspension for a more comfortable ride. The seats and the optional RumbleSeat are comfortable and padded and come with adjustable foot and leg rests, as well as generous UPF 50+ canopies that offer plenty of shade.

The Baby Jogger City Mini GT2 is another good value option. Like the Venus model, it's a side-byside pushchair that can be configured to fit your family. It can accommodate a single infant car seat and you can also add the Baby Jogger Glider Board for an additional passenger (though this limits the use to twins). The seat can be reclined independently and the City Mini GT2 features some of the most agile handling among double buggies with users stating it's a breeze to manoeuvre between kerbs.

Comfort

The fabric and padding of the seat are comfortable for children. In addition the UPF 50+ canopies are large enough to provide shade, and also have an adorable peekaboo feature.

Double strollers are traditionally heavier and bulkier as well as costlier than single buggies, but they're a great investment for families with two children that are close in age (generally less than 4 years old). Choose a brand that is designed to last for a long time and will not lose its value.

Tandem buggies begin as one pushchair. They come with adaptors that let you add another seat, a carrycot or (in certain instances) car seats to the frame. Some are fixed doubles, but others - such as this one made by Leclerc can be converted to a side-by-side configuration when your children are old enough to be ready to grow double stroller for it.

Although a side-by-side is generally larger than other types of double buggy It can be a bit easier to maneuver between kerbs since the weight is distributed more evenly. However, it's not a guarantee to avoid sibling fights as children sharing the same seat could kick or punch one another while riding.

A front-facing tandem can be an excellent 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 in front of each other. It's important to note that some kids can feel lonely or disengaged in a front-facing tandem as they won't have the same view of their surroundings.
