Which Double Tandem Pushchair is Best For Your Family?

If you're preparing for twins or a second child, there are a variety of products that can make life with children moving around easier. The double tandem pushchair is just one of them.

The majority of brands offer a double buggy as part of their line, ranging from Phil and Teds to Baby Jogger. They can come as side-by-side or inline convertible models.

Stability

A double tandem pushchair is ideal for families with twins or children with similar age. It makes travelling with two children more comfortable and easier. There are numerous styles and configurations available that it can be difficult to decide which one is best for your family. Some are better for jogging than others, or can fit a third seat when you add buggy boards. Which ones are the most stable however?

Side-by-side pushchairs (like the CYBEX Gazelle S) are perfect for transporting children who are the same age. They can be difficult to maneuver through narrow doorways or shopping aisles. In this case, you may prefer a stadium model, such as the Bugaboo Donkey, or Mountain Buggy Duet. These models allow your children to either face you or another according to their configuration.

Tandem models that seat one behind the other are more manageable than side-byside pushchairs, however they're not as stable as single strollers or car seats. They can also be tough to navigate around curbs and may have less storage capacity than a side-byside pushchair.

You should test the double with both seats in place, since that's how you'll be using it most. You should check how easy it is to navigate and steer, especially in tight corners or when using the front wheels that swivel. It is recommended to test the brakes as well because they may be difficult to operate when the child and adult seats are both attached.

If you're looking for a high-quality double stroller at a reasonable price that does it all you need, then take a look at the Phil and Teds Sport Double. This stylish, compact pushchair can be changed from a single model to tandem in just a few steps. The seat and the carrycot both recline and can be used either facing the parent or facing one another and the air-filled tyres and all-wheel suspension make it ideal for tackling a range of terrains. The seat has a handy storage basket under the seat, but it is partially restricted by the second child's seat.

Comfort

There is a double stroller suitable for every family, whether you have twins, a toddler or a newborn. They can be used to transport two children side-by-side, but many can be converted into a single pushchair (though this will usually require taking off one seat). They tend to be larger than a single buggy however, they are generally able to provide ultra flexibility and value for price.

In our most recent double stroller reviews, asked our testers to give their opinions on a variety of factors, including the comfort of riding, handling and how well the pushchair folded. They also noted how easy it was to take the car seat into and out and whether it could be used with a baby car.

The Stroller & Co City Tour 2 Double is a fantastic example of a comfortable, flexible and lightweight dual stroller. Our reviewers were impressed by its spacious UPF 50+ canopy, which offers real shade with a peekaboo feature. Both seats can be reclined into multiple positions by pressing the button. One seat can be set to lay flat so babies can sleep on the carrycot over it.

The reversible seat liner made of bamboo, which is naturally antibacterial on one side, and soft Jersey on the other side is an excellent feature. The fact that it can be folded in one hand is also an amazing feature, especially when you're looking after two children.

Side-by-side models are typically more expensive than tandem buggies. However, they offer the most flexibility as they are usually made to fit into narrow aisles and doors. They can be difficult to push and difficult to maneuver up kerbs but most do have a front-loaded loader which helps help balance the load.

Flexibility

A double tandem pushchair can be a great addition to any family, regardless of whether you have twins or a toddler and a newborn. This can keep your children entertained by stopping them from arguing or waking one other up. This type of buggy is also great if you're planning to take it on public transport, as it can be easier to fit it in the space available.

Some models are ultra flexible and allow you to change back to single mode as soon as your child is old enough to use strollers. This lets you not have to buy an entirely new stroller. The UPPAbaby V2 Double can accommodate two infant car seats at the back as well as a riding board which makes it ideal for three children. It can also be used with a stroller seat and a rolling suitcase for parents, allowing you to travel light but still having everything your family requires.

The Joovy Caboose Ultralight Graphite double push chair stroller is a different design than the competition but offers many of the same features that we have outlined in our top picks. We like how it can be folded with hands and easily through doorways, and that the basket underneath is taller, making it easier to store your shopping in. The rear seat is also covered, so your child will be kept warm in winter.

A tandem is smaller than a side-by-side, making it difficult to navigate narrow aisles in stores or busy walking routes. However, it can be more maneuverable on rocky terrain than a standard pushchair. Some of these prams can be difficult to steer, particularly when your child weighs more.

A double inline pushchair is a good option for the majority of families. It can be used as a twin stroller side By Side pram for children who are young however, it can be transformed into a tandem when they get older. Certain models, such as the iCandy Peach 3+ can accept two iSize car seat. This gives you the maximum flexibility and value.

Storage

The main drawback of double buggy is that it can take up more space on public transport and it can be more difficult to steer through narrow doorways and lifts. They can also be more expensive, especially side-by-side models with a second seat in front.

Certain models can be converted from a single pushchairs to tandem such as the Joolz Geo and the Uppababy Vista V2. This can be a good option when you're planning to have another baby at some point and can extend the lifespan of your buggy. It can be difficult to convert it back into only one seat after your older child has grown out of it.
