Double stroller question?

Question

Which type of double strollers are better for newborn and toddler? Side by side or tandem and why? Not sure which to go for, they will be 13 months age difference

Answer 1

i had a side by side and regretted it as they take up alot of room and its surprising how many shops and such places you can't get in with a double buggy from personal experience i would chose a tandem my only issue with that is the older child sits in the front seat making it heavier to lift up kerbs it would really depend on how you feel about both choices and what is right for you  hope that helps a little.

Answer 3

i only have one baby but i've always said if i have another one soon then i'd get this one

both baby's look really comfortable and the stroller also looks comfortable and easy to push. i have a couple of friends who have this one and they say it's amazing. one of them used to have a maclarens side by side stroller and she said there were a lot of shops she couldn't get into before buying this phil & teds one.

if you want a more traditional pram then there are toddler seats that go on top of the pram. i think emmaljunga do one.  

Answer 4

M opinion would be tandem...

You can sit the toddler in front so tney can see things, play, eat at little table (if applicable) etc.. and oyu could still keep a eye on them

then you could keep a closer eye on the newborn, lie it down for sleeps easier etc...

a side-by-side can makes things deifficult like space, weight indifference etc.

whatever you feel more comfortable with i guess, but i would choose tandem

best of luck! =]

Answer 5

Well if its side by side you'll need to make sure you have room to go through doorways and aisles and people, of course if you have a tandem, if someone tries to grab for the baby, it takes a couple seconds longer for you to get up there, in that case, I may go for a side by side.

Answer 6

phil and ted, phil and ted,,,oh, have i said? a PHIL AND TED!!!!

my 2 are 1 year and 3 weeks apart, i tried all the different types and PHIL AND TED is the best one. you need the 2nd seat attachment, it lovely for the new baby as it lies in a kind of hammock which has a natural movement when the buggy moves, also its very easy to push and is the size of a single 3 wheeler even with 2 kids in it. i had mine till eldest was 4. they cost a bit but worth every Penny!!!

Answer 7

I use a side by side. its "Mothers Choice" it fits through normal size doors. It doesn't fit through unusually small doors though. Tandem strollers you can only use for so long, before you need to by a side by side. in the long run its better for a side by side. When you go shopping people are always courteous and move to the side for you.
