A double pushchair is a fantastic option for those who enjoy long walks with your toddler, and are planning to have another child. There are many options available.

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

Size

If you're considering purchasing a double pushchair at birth, it's important to keep in mind that they're usually bigger than single buggies. That's why you need to make sure that the buggy you choose can fit through your doors and can easily go up and down kerbs and steps.

Double strollers typically come in two basic forms that are tandem and side-by-side. Tandem buggies are an excellent option for parents with twins, while side-by-side strollers can be used with children of different ages and are often converted into single-to-double pushchairs simply by adding a seat or carrycot to the frame.

The majority of tandem buggies have seats that face each other and come in various configurations. This allows your children to be able to see each other while riding. If your children are old enough to get along (or at least not fight over who gets the best seat!) You might find that they are more comfortable facing each other than sitting close to one another.

The iCandy Venus is a great option for families with twins or children who require seating together. This attractive and budget-friendly buggy also comes with the added bonus of being able take an infant car seat, so it can expand with your family. iCandy comes with extra accessories, such as fleecy liners to ensure that your infants stay warm and snug in their cocoons.

Another option for growing families is the Egg2. double pram and pushchair , which is popular with parents who are conscious of their appearance and want to look their best, can be used as an individual stroller or as a double stroller because of its adaptors that allow you to add a seat or a carrycot. It's not the least expensive double stroller available, but it has some unique features that set it apart from its competitors, including the large shopping basket that is placed behind the seat in parent-facing mode.

Style

Most double buggies are heavier and bulkier than single buggies, so bear that in mind if you're looking to purchase a model that will see you through several years. However, they do offer more storage space, usually with a bigger basket for shopping. They typically also come with seats that are facing the parents, with an extendable sunshade as well as a windows that peek out, as well being reclining seats that can be reclined independently. Some even have a built-in adjustable leg and foot rest, which helps with any discomfort caused from long walks or long periods of sitting.

The most well-known double buggy designs are side-by-sides and tandems. Tandems are designed with children sitting side-by-side with the same view. This can prevent siblings fighting about where to sit. However, they're still not foolproof, and kids may punch or kick each other while riding. The side-by-side model is more conventional with two fixed seats mounted on a single stroller frame. They may not offer as many options and are ideal for infants who are able to sit on their own but don't require the back support offered by an infant car seat.

Our lab experts recommend the Cybex Venus if you're looking for a lightweight, double from birth. This model is able to be changed from mono to twin by expanding in width. It can accommodate either two or one infant seat or carrycots. The compact folding design includes an ample shopping basket, rear and front suspension, and a large shopping bag for a more comfortable ride. The seats which include the RumbleSeat are padded and comfortable. They also have adjustable leg and footrests. They also come with an ample UPF 50+ canopy that provides plenty of shade.

The Baby Jogger City Mini GT2 is a different good value option. Like the Venus model, it's a side-byside pushchair that can be set up to meet the needs of your family. It can accommodate one car seat for infants and can be paired with 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 has some of the best handling among double buggies. Testers noted that it was easy to move up and down kerbs.

Comfort

The seat padding and the fabric are comfortable for both kids The UPF 50+ canopy is large enough to give real shade, and also offers a cute peekaboo view. Our test participants also loved that the seat reclines at a variety of angles. The only issue is that the fold isn't as compact as some other models, but our lab experts say it is easy to open and close.

Double strollers are traditionally heavier and bulkier, as well as more expensive than single buggies, but they're an essential investment for families with two kids who are close in age (generally under 4). Choose a brand that will last for many years and keep its value.

Tandem buggies were originally one-person pushchairs, but they have adaptors which allow you to add an extra seat or carrycot (in certain instances) the car seat to the frame. Some are fixed doubles, however others - such as this one made by Leclerc can be changed to a side-by-side arrangement when your children are old enough to be ready for it.

A side-byside double buggy is typically wider than other types however, it's easier to maneuver over kerbs as the weight is distributed more evenly. It's not foolproof to avoid sibling fights. Children in the same seat can kick or punch each other while riding.

A front-facing tandem is an alternative to a side-by-side model for older kids and is less susceptible to sibling squabbles, as your children don't face each other. It's important to note that some kids can feel lonely or disengaged in a front-facing tandem, because they don't have the same view of their surroundings.
