Double Pushchair From Birth: A Simple Definition
Buying a Double Pushchair From Birth

A double pushchair is an excellent option for those who enjoy long walks with your toddler and are planning to have another child. There are many choices to choose from.

Most tandem buggies can be configured in a variety ways. Some tandem buggies feature seats that are reversible, allowing 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. It is important to ensure that your buggy fits through the doors of your house and is capable of easily moving up and over kerbs and stairs.

Double strollers tend to come in two basic forms: tandem and side-by-side. Tandem buggies are a good option for parents of twins, while side-by-side strollers can be used with children of various ages and can often convert into single-to-double pushchairs by adding an extra seat or carrycot to the frame.

Most tandem buggies are built with seats facing each other and offer a variety of seat configurations allowing your children to see each other as they ride. However, if your children are of a similar age to be able to coexist (or at the very least not fight over who has the best seat!) You may find that they're more comfortable sitting in a row instead of facing each other.

A great option for families with twins or younger siblings that need to sit together is the iCandy Venus. This attractive, affordable buggy can also be used in conjunction with an infant car seat so it can grow along with your family. To make sure your newborns are warm and cozy in their cocoons iCandy includes additional accessories that competitors cost separately, such as fleecy liner.

Egg2 is another great option for families growing. This stylish pushchair is a popular choice for image-conscious parents. It can be used as a single unit or as a double due to its versatile frame that has adaptors available for adding a seat or a carrycot. It's not the cheapest double stroller, but it has some unique features which set it apart from the rest of the market. One of these is the large basket that is placed behind seat when in the parent-facing position.

Style

Double buggies are usually larger and heavier. If you're planning to buy one that you will use for several years be aware of this. They do have more storage space, and a larger basket. They also typically feature seats that are facing the parents, with an extendable sunshade as well as a windows that peek out, as well with seats that recline independently. Some even come with an adjustable leg and foot rest that eases any discomfort caused by long walks or extended periods of sitting.

The most popular double buggy styles are side-bysides and tandems. Tandems are designed with children seated side-byside, giving them the same perspective. This can help avoid sibling rivalries over where to sit. They're not foolproof, and children can still kick or punch one another when they ride. Side-by-sides are a classic design, with two fixed seats that are affixed to a single-wide stroller frame. They may not have as many configurations and are ideal for infants that can sit unassisted but don't require the back support that comes with an infant car seat.

Double strollers are traditionally heavier and bulkier as well as costlier than single buggies, but they're an essential investment for families with two children who are similar in age (generally less than 4 years old). They're likely to be used for many years, so make sure you choose an excellent brand that will last and will hold its value well.

Tandem buggies begin as an individual pushchair, but they have adaptors that allow you to add another seat, a carrycot, or (in some instances) car seats to the frame. Some of them are fixed doubles, while others - like this one made by Leclerc - can switch to a side-byside configuration when your children are old enough to be ready for it.

While a side-by-side is generally larger than other double buggy types it is able to maneuver through kerbs, as the weight is distributed more evenly. However, it's not a guarantee to prevent sibling rivalries; kids in the same seat may punch or kick each other when they ride.

A front-facing tandem is a good alternative to a side-by-side model for older children. It can also lessen the possibility of sibling rivalries as your kids are not directly facing eachother. Some kids may feel excluded when a tandem faces towards the front, since they don't get the same perspective.
