Choosing a Double Pushchair With Car Seat

Double pushchairs are an excellent option for families with twins, or a toddler with an infant. They are able to accommodate both children on the same seat and can also have the option of a carrycot, if required.

They typically have a wide number of seat configurations and can be inserted into most doorways/hallways. They're slightly larger than side-by-side buggies, however they are more robust and can be used on roads.

Double pushchairs come in two main types: side-by-side and tandem. Side-by-side buggies are equipped with fixed seats that sit in a row, side-by-side. they are suitable for twins or children of different age. However they are typically wider than single pushchairs and might be difficult to fit through some doors or down narrow paths. They can also be heavy and long to push, especially when children in car seats are in the front.

Tandem buggies provide more flexibility in that they can be set up in various ways. One or both seats can be set either way or backwards. They tend to be more expensive than side-by-side pushchairs, but they can be easier to manoeuvre and fold. Many of them come with a large basket which can be opened even when the seats are fully reclined.

Another important factor to consider is whether the double pushchair is equipped with an locking front wheel. This will allow you to negotiate tricky terrain and changes while ensuring your little ones remain safe and secure. Take a look at the storage space and see if it is accessible. This can be beneficial in the event that you have to go through lots of grocery shopping with two kids.

Some models have an additional seat underneath the chassis, which is useful for shopping or older children who love to sit up and explore.

Another thing to consider is the weight of your double buggy, especially in the case of one that can fit a newborn in a carrycot.

If the buckles are difficult to operate, they may be unsafe and need to be replaced. Seats should be able recline easily and have a large UPF 50+ canopy with the ability to peek into the window.

Tandem buggies usually start out as a single buggy, and come with adapters to fit a second seat or infant car seat to the frame. They are smaller in size than strollers that are side by side however they may be too big for some doors. These buggies are also heavy and difficult to move between kerbs.

On the other hand side-by-side buggies are typically smaller than tandem models. They are easier to navigate and can be adapted to older twins. However, they are expensive and might not be able to pass through all doors. The double bundle from Joovy is an excellent illustration of a model which can have the seats facing each other, inwards or outwards. It can be used with infant car seats and includes a bassinet too.

The majority of the models we tested featured a one-step procedure for attaching and detaching the car seat from the frame. This is a huge benefit for parents on the move and don't have the time to play around with several steps. Certain models, such as the Doona or the BOB Revo Flex 3.0 Combo have a two step attachment, which involves clicking into place and then strapping on. This additional step increases the likelihood of the car seat being set up incorrectly. Some strollers were difficult to adjust the crotch or shoulder straps, and a few buckles for car seats could be difficult to operate.
