Buying a Double Pushchair From Birth

A double pushchair is an excellent option if you enjoy long walks with your toddler and are planning to have another child. Luckily there are many options to pick from.

The majority of tandem buggies can adapt to various configurations. For instance, some come with seats that are reversible, allowing siblings to face each other or you.

Size

If you're considering purchasing a double pushchair right from the start, it's important to keep in mind that they are generally larger than single buggies. You should make sure that your buggy can fit through the doors of your house and is able to easily maneuver across the kerbs and steps.

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

Most tandem buggies are built with seats facing one another. They also provide a variety of seat configurations, allowing your children to see each other while they ride. However, if your children are close enough in age to get along (or at least not argue over who is the best seat!) then you may discover that they're more comfortable in a row instead of facing each other.

Double buggies tend to be heavier and bulkier. 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 larger basket. These seats are also equipped with a seat that faces the parent and a sunshade that could be extended, and an open window. They might also have seats that can recline independently. Some models have an adjustable leg and foot rest that can be adjusted to relieve any discomfort that is caused by long walking or prolonged periods of sitting.

Tandems, side-by-sides and tandems are the most popular styles of double buggy. Tandems have the children positioned side by side with each other, giving them the same view.

Double strollers are traditionally heavier and bulkier as well as costlier than single buggies. However, they're a great investment for families with two kids who are similar in age (generally under 4).

Tandem buggies were originally one-person pushchairs, but they have adaptors which allow the addition of an additional seat or carrycot or (in certain cases) an automobile seat to the frame.

A side-by-side double buggy typically bigger than other types of buggy, but it is more maneuverable over kerbs because the weight is distributed more evenly. But it's not 100% reliable for avoiding sibling squabbles as children sharing the same seat may kick or punch each other when they ride.

A front-facing tandem is an excellent alternative to a traditional side-by-side model for older children. It can also reduce the likelihood of sibling fights since your children aren't directly facing eachother. It's important to remember that some kids may feel left out or isolated when they're in a front-facing tandem because they don't have the same view of the world around them.

It's also the most flexible of our double buggies, which is the reason it's been a MadeForMums favorite since 2009.
