Buying a Tandem Double Buggy

If you have twins or children very similar in age, a tandem double buggy is a fantastic option. They're narrower than side-by-side buggies and are ideal for maneuvering tight spaces such as entrances, on public transportation and rocky terrain.

Many also transform into travel systems that use two carrycots or car seats. They are typically heavier, longer and less stable than a single pushchair.

Convertible

There are a variety of options to add a second seat or making a single stroller a double. The UPPAbaby V2 is large, beautiful stroller. It is easily transformed from a single stroller to a double by adding an rumble seat. It is more expensive and less maneuverable due to the fact that the second seat is located on top of the first seat. The Nuna Demi Grow is a similar model with a wide range of seating options, but does not have storage under the seat when used in doubles mode.

Other options include twin buggies with all-terrain wheels, and joggers with fixed wheels that can be used to carry two kids. They are more expensive, but they are made to last longer on rough terrain, and come with a higher resale price.

Reclining the seat independently

If you need a double buggy that is able to transport children of various age groups, then you'll require a model with an recline that is independent for both seats. This will allow your older child to rest while the baby is sleeping in a bassinet and reverse.

Think about the size of your pushchair and consider how easy it is for you to get through doors and public transport. If you have extremely narrow doors, it could 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 however it can take 2 seats and car seat adaptors.

Tandem buggies are generally slightly longer than side-by-side models, and aren't as difficult to maneuver through kerbs and up and down, however, they can accommodate a wider variety of car seat/car seat combinations, so can be a good option for twins or siblings of different ages. They are more expensive than single-to-double buggies but they're well worth it if you intend to keep it for a number of years. They'll also keep a good amount of value if sold when your children are old enough to use the buggie.

This feature allows you to put your child in the most comfortable position for naps and observation. This is important for children who are in the back seat and wishes to take a nap while the more mature child prefers to sit up to observe the surrounding.

Some brands have a unique design that allows the back of their vehicles to recline to a position that is nearly flat, which is ideal for newborns. For example, the iCandy Orange has raised stadium-style seating and can recline both the included toddler seat and the additional RumbleSeat into multiple positions so that your children have a the option of where they want to sit as well as providing an excellent UPF 50+ canopy with peekaboo windows.

Larger than twin buggies

They are perfect for siblings with different age groups, and you can get around without having to worry 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 has the slimmest design side-by-side on the market and a footprint like the footprint of a single stroller. It comes with an adjustable handle that makes it easier for parents to push, and a handbrake, which is helpful on steep hills. It is suitable to use from birth and can be used with a range of car seats and carrycots.

Another alternative is the iCandy Wave, which has an easy one-click fold and is able to be utilized in a duo or mono mode. Its innovative frame can be expanded widthwise to accommodate a second chair and can be used with two carrycots or car seats so it's an excellent option for older siblings who want to sit together and enjoy the view. It's slightly longer than other models, but it still feels light and has soft suspension for kerbs.

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

Be aware that a double Buggy Travel System-wide buggy is more heavy and bulkier than one that is compact. Make sure you know what you want before you buy. It will be used on buses, trains and subways often, therefore it must be simple to operate and use. You may also need to move it on and off the car seat while taking your children to school or nursery so you'll need to know it's easy to maneuver in tight spaces.

From your birth, you are a good candidate

If you're expecting twins or you have a child following your first, you're likely to need to find a pushchair that fits the entire family. Double buggies tend to be slightly heavier, bulkier and cost more than single to double buggy strollers. However, they are also easier to maneuver in narrower entrances or around obstacles like curbs. Many double buggies can be used with piggyback boards (available from the manufacturer or as an add-on). This allows you to carry three children at the same time.

Tandem pushchairs put one child ahead of the other. They're a great choice if your children are similar in age and are able to get along. They're not foolproof. Siblings seated side-by-side may punch or kick each other, and children of different heights can fight over who sits higher. A tandem high-low model is able to solve this issue by elevating the seat to the rear, preventing your child's older one from being sat on the bottom and not getting much of a view.

The iCandy Wave is a great alternative for parents who want an easy-to-use convertible double buggy that can fit both a newborn in a carrycot as well as an older child in the main seat. It features a clever frame that expands widthways when you add a second seat and folds down flat for compact storage. The padded seats, straps and buckles are all of the highest quality we have seen in our testing. The canopies are large in size with UPF 50+ protection, and peekaboo window. Both seats can be reclined independently.

The only drawback to the iCandy tandem is that it is quite expensive. However, a good tandem will last for years and retain the highest resale value, so at the end of the day, you'll likely recoup some of the cost. It also doesn't offer the same range of seating configurations as the other top choices however, the iCandy is a good choice for families who don't wish to spend a fortune.
