3 Ways In Which The Double Pushchair Can Affect Your Life

Buying a Double Pushchair For Twins Or Two Siblings Close in Age?

Double pushchairs are great for families with twins or children of similar ages. Choose between tandem double stroller models or side-by-side designs like the Mountain Buggy Duet V3 which is narrow enough to fit through standard doorways.

Many models also come with reclining seats that lay flat and are compatible with infant car seats. Some models can be converted to single mode. The egg2 Pushchair is a well-loved choice for its style and versatility.

Side by Side

The side-by-side buggy is a classic option for families with twins or siblings of different age groups. They usually have 2 fixed seats and one canopy. They're also more spacious than inline buggy models to allow both children to be able to see the same thing. They are easy to maneuver and some even have front and back suspension for better handling when going over bumps or kerbs.

While they are more expensive than other types of double buggies but they tend to be more resale-worthy particularly if you select a well-known brand. They are also ideal for jogging, and can be used on rough terrain. The seats offer plenty of space for your children to relax comfortably. They are available in a wide range of colors and designs to complement your family's style.

Certain models come with additional accessories to help keep your babies comfortable. These may include seat cushions, head supports and baby blankets. They may also have pockets for storing snacks and toys. Parents can even get an infant buggy with a parent console for keeping essentials handy.

Tandem

This clever frame expands in width, allowing for a second seat to be added without taking up space. This is a great choice for twins since it can accommodate two car seats or carrycots. It's also a great travel system for roadtrips. It's a bit heavier and longer than some of its rivals, but it provides plenty of storage space, including a large basket for shopping.

This is an excellent option if you want to avoid the baby from being disturbed.

The seat is positioned one ahead of the other in this setup, so it can be more difficult for toddlers to be distracted from one another when you're out and out and about. This type of pushchair has padding that allows the seat to recline completely, making it suitable for babies. Many models have a higher and more upright seat for older children. Depending on the style it is possible to position them facing each other or to the world. It's easier to get through narrow doorways with a tandem pushchair, however, it can be difficult to nip up kerbs and stairs with two kids in the back.

Lightweight

The most lightweight double pushchairs are nimble, compact and simple to use. They're typically constructed of a sturdy aluminum frame, and some have air-filled wheels to help them slide over even rough surfaces. Some models come with one-handed folds and shoulder straps that make them more convenient to carry. Look for additional extras like a sunshade, rain cover, and foot muff.

The Cybex Mios is a lightweight double pushchair double stroller that comes at a low price. It's both a full-functioning travel system and a light buggy, and can be used starting at birth with the use of the carrycot. It is the side-by-side design, and the two seats recline independently. This provides the ideal positioning for babies and young toddlers. It comes with a huge UPF 50+ canopy, peekaboo windows, and a toddler seat that's fully padded and adjustable.

Another top contender is the UPPAbaby Vista 2. It can carry twins, or a baby and a toddler, and is compatible with a variety of car seats. It features an elegant and stylish frame with large rear wheels to cope with rough terrain. It's also suitable for running. It's a bit long when in double mode, though, and there's no storage space under the seat.

When comparing different double pushchairs, take into consideration the weight of each frame, seat and suspension. The heavier the buggy and the heavier it is, the more difficult it will be to push. This is especially in the case of uneven surfaces. Check the folding dimensions, and see if it's possible to remove the seat to make it smaller. Check for features such as a one-handed folding, which Kirstie who was a home tester at the time described as "genius", or straps that can be worn over your shoulder.

You can also opt for a tandem double pushchair, which places children one behind the other. It's not as agile however it is an ideal choice for many families. It might be more suitable for older toddlers. You'll also find some tandems with reclining seats, which allow children to lie down or sit down based on their mood and needs.

Comfortable

If you're a parent of twins or have two siblings close in age, having the perfect double pushchair can make getting out significantly easier. There are many comfy options on the market. If you're looking for a side-by-side model that can accommodate a carrycot and a seat or a tandem that has an adjustable rear and front seat, there's sure to be a perfect option for your family.

In addition to padded straps, buckles and headrests, search for seats with multiple recline positions and adjustable the calf rests. Often, these will be operated with single-handed buttons accessible from the back of the seat (though in our labs, this can prove difficult for parents with small hands). Some of the best double strollers also come with an enormous UPF50+ sun canopy, a magnetic peekaboo windows, and a useful hood extension that protects your child from harmful UV radiation.

Convertible Doubles

One of the best ways to save money is to buy an adjustable pushchair that can be converted from single mode to double mode as your children grow. The egg2, for example, is a stylish choice that works with the toddler seat that comes with it or a baby carrier from birth and even offers a second add-on RumbleSeat for older siblings. The reclining seats as well as the spacious carrycots were particularly well received by the home testers who adored how it could grow with your family.

If you're looking for a budget-friendly option that can last into toddlerhood and beyond the iCandy Venus is a great option. It comes with a footmuff and seat, but it can be converted into a twin pushchair-sized pram using the brand's newborn Cocoons (available at a price of PS59 per piece). Our labs loved how easy it is to switch between different configurations and found the instructions clear and simple - though it may take some time to master the process of the box.

Some double pushchairs only allow the children to be seated in a row and are generally oriented towards the world. However there are some notable exceptions like the Bugaboo Donkey or Mountain Buggy Duet that can be set up both for front and parent facing (though this will increase overall chassis width). Kerb popping is usually simpler with a tandem, however getting through narrow doors and aisles of shopping can be an issue at times.
