Buying a Tandem Double Buggy

If you have twins or children similar in age, a tandem double buggy is a fantastic option. They're a bit smaller than side-byside buggies, and ideal for maneuvering narrow spaces like doors, on public transport and on rocky terrain.

Some can be converted into travel systems that take two carrycots or child car seats. They are typically heavier, longer and less stable than a single pushchair.

Convertible

If you're looking for a convertible stroller that can be converted from a single to a double or to add a second seat to an existing one, there are several options available. The UPPAbaby Vista V2 is a big, beautiful stroller that converts easily from a single model to double by adding the rumble seating (available separately). However, it's pricey and less maneuverable than other dual strollers because the 2nd seat goes behind the front seat. The Nuna Demi Grow is a similar option with great seating flexibility, however it lacks under-seat storage when used in doubles mode.

Other options include all-terrain twin buggies and fixed-wheel joggers that can hold two children. They are more expensive however, they are designed for long trips on rough terrain, and come with more expensive resales.

Independent recline of the seat

If you want a double stroller that can accommodate children of different age groups, you'll require one with an independent recliner for both seats. This allows your child of a higher age to relax in the back while the baby is in the bassinet, and the reverse.

Take into consideration the width of your stroller, as this will determine how easy it is for you to navigate through doors and public transport. If you have narrow doors, it may be worth considering a side-by-side pushchair, such as the Mountain Buggy Duet which has the advantage of having a footprint comparable to a single buggy but can still use 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 can make the perfect choice for twins and siblings of various age groups. They also tend to be more expensive than single-to-double buggies, but are a worthwhile purchase if you plan to keep it for years and have a good amount of resale value if you decide to sell it off when your children have grown out of it.

Another important feature to look for is whether the seat backs can recline independently of one another since this will allow you to put your child in the ideal position for naps or watching. This is especially important when you have a younger child in the rear seat who may be inclined to lie down and relax while the older child would prefer to sit up and observe their surroundings.

Some brands feature a unique seat design which allows the back seat to completely recline to an almost flat position that is perfect for babies. The iCandy Orange, for example is a stadium-style seat that can be reclined to multiple positions. It also offers UPF 50+ sun protection and windows that peek out.

Wider than twin buggies

They are ideal for siblings of different age groups, and you can get around without worrying about your children touching. They're typically a more spacious, with one seat behind the other. The seats can be reclined fully for newborns or in an upright position for toddlers.

A popular option is the Mountain Buggy Duet, which features the slimmest side-by-side design available and features an identical footprint to one buggy. It has an adjustable handle that makes it easier for parents to push and a handbrake that is useful on steep hills. It is suitable to use from birth and can be used with a range of car seats and carrycots.

The iCandy Wave is another option. It can be folded in either mono or duo mode with just one click. The frame's clever design can be expanded to accommodate a second chair and 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 slightly bigger than the other models, but it still isn't heavy and has a soft suspension for curbs.

There are a variety of 3-wheeler tandems that have inline wheels that provide stability and fast steering. Check out Phil and Teds inline models as well as iCandy Peach and Pear buggies. These can often be folded into one buggy if you have limited space at home, or need to transport it from the car to the bus.

It's important to remember that a wide double buggy will be heavier and bulkier than a compact single buggy So make sure you're getting what you need before purchasing. It will be utilized on buses, trains and subways often, so it must be easy to use and manage. It is possible that you will need to move the car seat on and off while taking your child to school or nursery.

From birth, you are a suitable candidate

You'll need a pushchair for your entire family whether you're expecting twins or you have another child after having your first. Double buggies are generally heavier, bulkier, and more expensive than single strollers. However, they are more maneuverable in tighter doors and around obstacles such as curbs. Many are also compatible with piggyback ride-along boards (either from the manufacturer or via an additional accessory purchase) to allow you to transport three children at the same time.

Tandem pushchairs place one child in front of the other, so they're often a better choice when you have two children who are close enough in age to be able to live well together. They're not 100% secure. Siblings who are sitting side-by-side could kick or punch each other and children with different heights can fight over who sits taller. This issue can be resolved by a tandem high-low model that raises the seat in the rear. Your older child isn't seated at the bottom of the car and won't get much of a look out.

double buggy side by side Pushchairs And Prams is a good choice for parents looking for a convertible double buggy with a carrycot that can accommodate both the newborn and the older child. It has a clever frame which expands in width when you add a second child seat. It folds flat for compact storage. The padded straps, buckles, and seats are all of the highest quality we have encountered in our testing. The canopy is large in size with UPF 50+ protection, and windows that peek out. Both seats are reclined independently.





The only drawback to the iCandy is that it's expensive but a high-quality tandem will last for a long time and will retain its resale value. So you'll probably get back some of the cost in the end. It doesn't come with the same range of seating configurations that the other top picks, but the iCandy is a great choice for families that don't want to shell out a lot of money.
