Buying a Tandem Double Buggy

A tandem double buggy can be a great choice if you have twins, or children who are close in age. They're smaller than side-by-side buggies and are ideal for maneuvering tight spaces such as doorways, on public transport and on rough terrain.

Some convert into travel systems to use two carrycots or car seats. They can be heavier, longer and less stable than a single pushchair.

Convertible

There are a variety of options to add a second seat or converting a single stroller to a double. The UPPAbaby Vista V2 is a large, gorgeous stroller that can easily be converted from a single to double by adding the rumble seating (available separately). It is more expensive and less maneuverable since the second seat is placed in front of the first seat. Nuna Demi Grow is a similar model however, it doesn't have storage under the seat when used as a double stroller.

Other options include twin buggies that have all-terrain wheels, and joggers with fixed wheels that can hold two children. They tend to be more expensive, but they're made for long-distance trips over rough terrain, and may have greater resales value.

Reclining the seat independently

If you are looking for a double stroller that will accommodate children of different age groups, you'll need one with a recliner that is independent for both seats. This allows your child of a higher age to rest in the back while the baby sleeps in the bassinet, and the reverse.

Take into consideration the width of your pushchair, as this will determine the ease of you to navigate through doors and on public transportation. If you have extremely narrow doorways then it might be worthwhile to consider a side-by-side pushchair like the Mountain Buggy Duet which has the benefit of having a footprint comparable to a single buggy but can still accommodate two seats and car seat adaptors.

Tandem buggies tend to be larger than side-by-side models, which makes them more difficult to maneuver up and down kerbs. However they can be able to accommodate more combinations of car seats/car seats/seats and are a great option for twins and siblings of various ages. They also tend to be more expensive than single-to double buggies, but are a worthwhile investment if you intend to keep it for years and will have a decent amount of resale value if you sell it on when your children are out of it.

Another important feature to look for is if the seat backs are able to recline independently of each other since this will allow you to place your child in the ideal position for naps or watching. This is crucial when your child is in the back seat and wants to rest while the child in the front prefers to sit up to observe the surroundings.

Certain brands have a distinctive design that allows the back seat of their vehicles to recline into a position that's nearly flat, which is ideal for newborns. The iCandy Orange, for example, has stadium-style seating that can be reclined to several positions. It also comes with UPF 50+ canopy and windows that peek out.

Wider than twin buggies

You don't need to have twins to benefit from a larger double buggy - they're ideal for siblings of different age groups. They allow you to go about your day without worrying about your children touching. They are usually a little larger with one seat positioned behind the other. The seats can be reclined completely for infants, or put in an upright position for toddlers.





Mountain Buggy Duet is a popular choice. It is the tiniest design of the two-in-ones on the market and a footprint that is similar to the footprint of a single stroller. It features an adjustable handle that makes it easier for parents to push, and a handbrake that is useful on steep hills. It can be used from birth and is compatible with a variety of car seats and carrycots, meaning it makes an excellent travel system.

The iCandy Wave is another option. It folds in either mono or duo mode with just one click. Its clever frame can be expanded widthwise to allow for a second seat and it can be used with two carrycots or car seats making it a great option for older siblings who wish to sit together and share the view. It's a little longer than other models but still feels light to steer and comes with soft suspension that can handle the kerbs.

There are a lot of 3-wheeler inline tandems that are available - check out Phil and Teds inline models or iCandy's Peach and Pear buggies, for instance that provide stability and quick steering. double pushchair can often be folded into a single buggy if you have limited space at home or need to carry it from the car to the bus stop.

Be aware that a two-wheeled buggy will be heavier and heavier than a single compact buggy. Be sure you know what you want prior to making a buy. You'll have to get it off and on subways, trains and buses regularly so it needs to be easy to operate and manage. You might need to manage the car seat while taking your child to school or nursery.

The best time to start is when you are born.

If you're expecting twins, or have a second child after your first, you're likely to need to find a stroller that can accommodate the whole family. Double buggies tend to be heavier, bulkier, and more expensive than single strollers. However they are much more maneuverable in tighter doorways and around obstacles such as curbs. They are also compatible with piggyback ride-along boards (either from the manufacturer or as an additional accessory purchase) to allow you to transport three children at a time.

Tandem pushchairs place one child in front of the other. They are a good choice if your children are of similar ages and are able to get along. They're not completely safe. Siblings sitting side-by-side can kick or punch each other and children with different heights could argue over who is sitting higher. This issue can be addressed by a tandem high-low model that raises the seat at the back. Your older child will not be sitting at the lowest part of the car and won't have much of a look out.

The iCandy Wave is a good choice for parents looking for a convertible double buggy with a carrycot that can fit both a newborn and an older child. It features an innovative frame that can be expanded in size when you add a second child seat. It folds flat for storage that is compact. The cushioned straps, buckles, and seats are all of the best quality we have encountered in our tests. The canopy is large in size, UPF 50+ protection, and a peekaboo window. Both seats are reclined independently.

The only drawback of the iCandy is that it's a little on the expensive side but a high-quality tandem will last for years and will retain its resale value. So you'll probably get back some of the cost over the long term. It doesn't come with the same selection of seating configurations as the other top picks however, the iCandy is a good choice for families who don't wish to spend a fortune.
