Buying a Tandem Double Buggy

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

Some convert into travel systems to use two carrycots or car seats. However, they are heavier and longer than single pushchairs and may feel less stable bumping up the kerbs.

Convertible

If you're looking for convertible stroller that converts from single and double stroller to double or to add another seat to an existing one, there are many options to choose from. The Vista V2 from UPPAbaby is spacious, gorgeous stroller that can easily be converted from a single model to double by incorporating the rumble seat (available separately). It is more expensive and less maneuverable because the second seat is positioned on top of the first seat. The Nuna Demi Grow is a similar option with great seating versatility but isn't equipped with storage under the seat when used in doubles mode.

Other alternatives include all-terrain twin buggies, as well as fixed-wheel joggers that can accommodate two children. They are more expensive however, they are designed for long trips on rough terrain and come with higher resale prices.

Independent seat recline

If you're looking for a double stroller which can accommodate children of different age groups, you'll need one with independent seat recliner for both seats. This allows your child of a higher age to be able to relax while your baby is sleeping in a bassinet and vice versa.

Take into consideration the size of your pushchair, as this will determine the ease of you to get through doors and on public transport. If you have very narrow doorways then it might be worth considering a side-by-side pushchair like the Mountain Buggy Duet which has the advantage of having a footprint that is similar to a single buggy however it can accommodate two seats and car seat adaptors.

Tandem buggies tend to be longer than side by side models, making them more difficult to maneuver up and down kerbs. However, they can accommodate more combinations of car seats/car seats/seats and are an excellent choice for twins and siblings of various ages. They are also more expensive than single to double buggies, but they're worth it if you plan to keep it for a number of years. They also hold a good amount of value when sold once your children are old enough to use it.

This feature will allow you to place your child in the most comfortable position for naps and observation. This is essential when your child is in the back seat and would like to rest while the child in the front prefers to sit up to observe the surroundings.

Some brands feature a unique seat design which allows the back seat to fully recline to an almost flat position which is perfect for newborns. For instance, the iCandy Orange has raised stadium-style seating and can recline both the included toddler seat and the add-on RumbleSeat into various positions to give your kids a the option of deciding where to sit, as well as offering an excellent UPF 50+ canopy that has peekaboo windows.

Wider than twin buggies

A popular option is the Mountain Buggy Duet, which is the tiniest side-by-side model available and features an identical footprint to one buggy. It also has an adjustable handle, making it easier for parents of different heights to push, and a handbrake, which is useful when tackling difficult hills. It can be used from birth and is compatible with a variety of car seats and carrycots, which means it's a great travel system.

Another option is the iCandy Wave, which has a simple one-click to fold and is able to be utilized in a duo or mono mode. Its clever frame can be expanded to accommodate a second chair and can be used with two carrycots or car seats which makes it an ideal choice for older siblings who want to sit together and enjoy the view. It's a little longer than other models, but it's easy to steer and has soft suspension that is able to handle kerbs.

There are also a variety of 3-wheeler tandems inline available such as Phil and Teds inline models, or iCandy's Peach and Pear buggies, for instance that provide stability and quick steering. They are often folded into a single buggy if you are limited in space at home, or need to transport it from the car to the bus station.

Be aware that a two-wheeled buggy will be more heavy and more bulkier than one compact buggy. Be sure to know what you want before you buy. You'll be taking it on and off subways, buses, and trains frequently, so it must be simple to use and manage. It is possible that you will need to move the car seat in and out when taking your child to school or nursery.

Suitable from birth

If you're expecting twins or you have a child following your first, you're going to require an appropriate pushchair for the whole family. Double buggies tend to be heavier and bulkier as well as more expensive than single strollers. However, they are more maneuverable in tighter doors, or around obstacles like curbs. Many double buggy that converts to single buggies work with piggyback boards (available from the manufacturer or as an add-on). This lets you transport three children at once.

Tandem pushchairs place one child in front of the other. They're a good option for children who are close in age and get along well. However, they're not 100% secure Side-by-side chairs can kick or punch each other, and kids on different heights can squabble over who sits higher. A tandem high-low model could solve this issue by elevating the seat towards the rear, preventing your child's height from sitting on the bottom and not getting much of a view.

The iCandy Wave is a good option for parents who are looking for an adjustable double buggy that can be converted into a carrycot that can fit both the newborn and pushchairsandprams the older child. It has a clever frame that can be expanded in width when you add the second seat. It folds flat to make it a compact storage. The padded seats, straps and buckles are all of the highest quality we have encountered in any of our tests. The canopy is large in size, UPF 50+ protection, and a peekaboo window. Both seats can be 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 a long time and retain its resale value. So you'll probably recoup some of the cost in the long run. The iCandy doesn't have the same seating options as our other top selections. It's nevertheless an ideal choice for families who don't want to spend much money.
