Here's A Little Known Fact Concerning Tandem Double Buggy Buying a Tandem Double Buggy

If you have twins or children close in age, a tandem double buggie is a great choice. They're a bit smaller than side-byside buggies and ideal for navigating tight spaces, such as doors, on public transport and rocky terrain.

Some can be converted to travel systems that take two carrycots or car seats for children. However, they are heavier and longer than single pushchairs and may feel less stable in bumping up kerbs.

Convertible

There are many options for adding a second seating or converting a single stroller to a double. The Vista V2 from UPPAbaby is spacious, gorgeous stroller that easily converts from a single stroller to double by incorporating the rumble seat (available separately). However, it's expensive and less mobile than other double strollers because the 2nd seat is placed in front of the front seat. Nuna Demi Grow is a similar model, but it lacks storage underneath the seat when it's used as a double stroller.

Other options include twin buggies that have all-terrain wheels, and joggers with fixed wheels that can hold two children. They are generally more expensive, but they're made for long-distance trips over rough terrain and can have greater resales value.

Reclining the seat independently

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

It is also important to think about the size of the stroller as this will impact how easy it is to traverse doors and public transport. If your doorways are very narrow, you might think about a side-by-side pushchair, such as the Mountain Buggy Duet. double pram buggy has a footprint that is similar to a single stroller, but it can accommodate two seats and car seat adaptors.

Tandem buggies are usually slightly longer than side-by-side models and therefore aren't easily maneuverable through kerbs and up and down, however they can be able to accommodate a wider range of car seat/car seat combinations, so can be a good option for twins or siblings of different age groups. They are also more expensive than single-to-double buggies, but are a worthwhile investment if you plan to keep it for a long time and will have a decent amount of resale value if you sell it on when your children are out of it.

Another important feature to look for is whether the seat backs are able to recline independently from one another as this will let you put your child in the best position for naps or watching. This is particularly important if you have a younger child in the rear seat who will want to lie back and take a snooze while the older child would prefer to sit up and look around their surroundings.

Some brands feature a unique seat design which allows the back seat to fully recline to an almost flat position, which is ideal for infants. For instance the iCandy Orange has raised stadium-style seating that can recline both the toddler seat included and the additional RumbleSeat into multiple positions to give your kids a a choice of where to sit as well as providing an excellent UPF 50+ canopy with windows that peek out.

Wider than twin buggies

They are great for siblings of different ages, and you can get around without having to worry about your children touching. They're typically a larger with one seat positioned behind the other. The seats can be reclined fully for infants, or put in an upright position for toddlers.

It features an adjustable handle that makes it easier for parents to push and a handbrake which is helpful on steep hills. It is suitable for use from birth, and can be paired with a wide range of car seats and carrycots.

The iCandy Wave is another option. It folds in either mono or duo mode with just a single click. Its clever frame expands in width to accommodate the second chair and can be used with up to two car seats or carrycots. This makes it an ideal option for older siblings who want to sit together. It's slightly bigger than the other models, but it still isn't heavy and has a soft suspension for the kerbs.

There are many 3-wheeler tandems that have inline wheels that offer stability and quick steering. Take a look at Phil and Teds inline models, or iCandy Peach and Pear buggies. They are often folded down to size one buggie, which is helpful for those who struggle with storage at home or have to lug it in and out of the boot when you travel on public transport.

It's worth bearing in mind that a large double buggy will feel bulkier and heavier than a compact single buggy, so make sure you're getting what you need before you purchase. You'll need to take it on and off subways, buses, and trains frequently, 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'll need a stroller for your entire family, regardless of whether you're expecting twins or you have another child after you've had your first. Double buggies are typically heavier, bulkier, and more expensive than single strollers. However they are much more maneuverable in narrower doorways or around obstacles such as curbs. They are also compatible with piggyback ride-along boards (either from the manufacturer or as an additional accessory purchase) which means you can carry three children at once.

Tandem pushchairs place one child ahead of the other. They are a good option for children who are of similar ages and are good friends. However, they're not 100% secure Siblings in a side-by-side seat could kick or punch one another, and children who are different heights can argue over who should sit higher. A tandem high-low model can solve this issue by elevating the seat to the rear, which will prevent your child's height from sitting on the bottom and not getting the best view.

The iCandy Wave is a great option for parents looking for an easy-to-use double buggy that converts to fit a newborn into a carrycot as well as an older child in the main seat.

The only downside to the iCandy tandem is that it is a bit expensive. However, a quality tandem will last you for a long time and will have the highest resale value, which means that in the end, you'll likely recoup a portion of the cost. The iCandy doesn't have the same seating options as our other top choices. It's nevertheless an excellent choice for families who don't wish to spend a lot of money.
