Buying a Tandem Double Buggy

A tandem double buggy can be a great choice when you have twins or children who are very close in age. They're smaller than side-by-side buggies and ideal for navigating narrow spaces like doorways, on public transport and on rocky terrain.

Some are able to be converted into travel systems that take two carrycots or car seats for children. They are often heavier, longer and less stable than a single pushchair.

Convertible

There are many options for adding a second seating or changing a single stroller into a double. The Vista V2 from UPPAbaby is big, beautiful stroller that converts easily from a single model to a double by incorporating the rumble seat (available separately). However, it's expensive and less maneuverable than other dual strollers since the second seat is located to the left of the front seat. The Nuna Demi Grow is a comparable model with great seating versatility but does not have storage under the seat when used in doubles mode.

Other options include twin buggies with all-terrain wheels as well as joggers that have fixed wheels that can hold two kids. They tend to be more expensive, but they're made for long-distance trips over rough terrain and can have a higher resale value.

Independent seat recline

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

Take into consideration the width of your stroller to determine how easy it is for you to maneuver through doors and public transport. If your doors are narrow, you may think about a side-by-side pushchair such as the Mountain Buggy Duet. It has a footprint that is similar to a single stroller, but can still fit two seats and car seat adaptors.

Tandem buggies are usually a little longer than side-by-side models and so aren't as easily maneuverable through kerbs and up and down, but they can accommodate a wider range of car seat/car seat combinations, and are a great option for twins or siblings of various age. They can also be more expensive than single-to Shop Double Pushchairs for Twins and Siblings buggies, but are a worthwhile investment if you intend to keep it for a long time and will have a decent amount of resale value in the event that you decide to sell it after your children have grown out of it.

Another important feature to look for is if the seat backs are able to recline independently from one another as this will let you place your child in the most optimal position to nap or observe. This is important for children who are in the back seat and wants to nap while the more mature child prefers to sit up to observe the surrounding.

Certain brands have a unique design that allows the back seat of their vehicles to recline into a position that is 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 a UPF 50+ canopy and windows that peek out.

Larger than twin buggies

There's no need to have twins in order to benefit from a bigger double buggy. They're perfect for siblings of various age groups. They allow you to move around without having to worry about your children touching each other. They are usually a little more spacious, with one seat behind the other. The seats can be reclined completely for newborns or in an upright position for toddlers.

A popular choice is the Mountain Buggy Duet, which has the slimmest side-byside design on the market and has a footprint similar to one buggy. It also has an adjustable handle, which makes it easier for parents of various heights to push as well as 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 is a great travel system.

The iCandy Wave is another option. It can be folded in either mono or duo mode with just a single click. The frame's clever design expands to accommodate an additional chair and can be used with up to two car seats or carrycots. This makes it a fantastic choice for older siblings that want to sit together. It's a little bigger than the other models, but it feels light and has soft suspension for curbs.

There are many 3-wheeler tandems with inline wheels that provide stability and fast steering. Check out Phil and Teds inline models or iCandy Peach and Pear buggies. They are often folded into a single buggy if you are limited in space at home, or need to carry it from the car to the bus stop.

Be aware that a two-wheeled buggy is more heavy and bulkier than a single compact buggy. Be sure to know what you want before you purchase. It is likely to be utilized on buses, trains, and subways frequently so it should 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're an ideal candidate

If you're expecting twins or have a second child after your first, you're going need to find an appropriate pushchair for the entire family. Double buggies are generally larger, heavier and cost more than single strollers, however they can also be more maneuverable through narrower doors or around obstacles such as curbs. Many double buggies can be used with piggyback boards (available from the manufacturer or as an add-on). This lets you transport three children at the same time.

Tandem Pushchairs And Prams put one child in front of the other, so they're generally a better option when you have two children that are close enough in age to function well together. But they're not foolproof: Siblings in side-by-side seats may punch or kick each other, and kids with different heights may argue over who sits higher. A tandem high-low model is able to solve this issue by elevating the seat towards the rear, which will prevent your older child from being sat on the bottom and not getting much of a view.

The iCandy Wave is a good alternative for parents looking for a convertible double buggy with a carrycot that can fit both a newborn and an older child. It features a smart frame that can be expanded in width when you add a second seat and folds down flat to make it a compact storage. The cushioned straps, buckles, and seats are all of the highest quality we have encountered in any of our tests. You can recline both seats independently, and the canopies are large and generous with UPF 50+ protection and windows that peek out.
