Choosing the best stroller for children of similar ages

The arrival of a second child in the family can sometimes be a source of anxiety and leads us to ask ourselves additional logistical questions: how are we going to manage everyday life with two young children? In this article we will discuss the choice of stroller, which will vary depending on the age difference of your children. Whether it's a single, double or evolvingstroller, you'll choose it above all so that it simplifies your life.

Single strollers with removable steps

Do you love your current stroller and don't want to change? Then you can turn to the removable footboard. You don't have to invest in a new stroller, but simply buy the accessory. However, this step has its advantages and disadvantages.

Let's start with the positive:

Its cost: a much lower investment because, depending on the brand, the price of a footboard varies between 32 and 196 euros (models with a small saddle).
Removability: the footboard can be removed and reinstalled more or less easily depending on the model.

However, this option has several drawbacks:

Its lack of security: the child placed on the platform is not secured.
Its position: the child standing or sitting on the platform is behind the stroller and therefore has no visibility on the road.
Its lack of practicality: very annoying for the parent driving the stroller, who has to walk on the side or far behind the stroller to avoid catching the footboard in his feet
Manoeuvrability: difficult to cross the sidewalks without asking your child to go up and down.
Its size: the board must be removed to fold the stroller.

Attention, the step option is more suitable for children over 2 years old. Underneath, it is not ideal!

In short, a more suitable solution for children who are already grown up or to avoid buying a new stroller.

Double and Evolutionary Strollers

The second solution features two products: the double stroller and the evolving stroller. In your opinion, are there more advantages or disadvantages?

First, the double stroller.

This stroller is recommended for toddlers who are not yet walking. It is ideal for children from 11 to 15 months who still nap a lot!

Its advantage:

Its comfort: able to accommodate two children side by side or one in front of the other, the double stroller allows each child to benefit from its own backrest inclination. No more jealousy problems and a guaranteed nap!

Its drawbacks:

Its dimensions: most of the time wide and bulky, the double stroller is not ideal for everyday use, whether it's for city walks or having to fit it in the boot of your car.
Its configuration: more practical for twins, the double stroller is less practical for children of different ages. The two fixed seats may not always be necessary...

Let's come to the evolving stroller.

A new category of stroller in recent years, the evolutionary stroller was born to facilitate travel with children of similar ages.

Its positive points:

Its durability: can be used from birth in single or double use.
Its modularity: capable of accommodating two children of different ages by offering a wide variety of configurations (car seat, bassinet, classic seat, to be modulated according to your desires).

His negative points:

His lack of visibility on both children at the same time. In addition, one of the two children is often at ground level.
Dimensions: the stroller is bulky and difficult to handle because its chassis is more or less the same as that of a double stroller.
