Buying a Tandem Double Buggy

A tandem double buggy could be a fantastic option for twins or children who are very close in age. They're smaller than side-by-side buggies and are ideal for maneuvering narrow spaces like doors, on public transport and on rocky terrain.

Some are able to be converted into travel systems that take two carrycots or child car seats. However, they are heavier and longer than single pushchairs and may not be as stable when in bumping up kerbs.

Convertible

There are many options for adding a second seat or making a single stroller a double. The UPPAbaby is a spacious, gorgeous stroller. It can be easily converted from a single to a dual by adding a Rumble seat. However, it's pricey and less maneuverable than other dual strollers since the second seat goes to the left of the front seat. The Nuna Demi Grow is a comparable model with a wide range of seating options, but does not have storage under the seat when used in doubles mode.

Other options include all-terrain twin umbrella stroller buggies as well as fixed-wheel joggers that can hold two children. These are more expensive, however, they are designed for long-distance trips over rough terrain, and come with higher resale prices.

Independent recline of the seat

If you require a double buggy that can carry children of different ages then you're going to want one that has independent seat recline for both seats. This will allow your child's older to rest in the back while the baby is in the bassinet and reverse.

Consider the size of your pushchair, as this will determine how easy it is for you to navigate through doors and on public transport. If you have extremely narrow doors, it may be worth considering a side-by-side pushchair such as the Mountain Buggy Duet which has the advantage of having a footprint comparable to a single To double Pushchair buggy, but can still accommodate 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, 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. These buggies are priced higher than single to double buggies, but they're worth it if you intend to keep it for a few years. They will also retain a good amount of value if you decide to sell it when your kids have outgrown it.

Another crucial thing to look out for is if the backs of the seats can recline independently of each other as this will let you place your child in the ideal position for naps or watching. This is especially important when you have a younger child in the rear seat who will prefer to lay back and sleep while the older child wants to sit and observe their surroundings.

Certain brands have a distinctive design that allows the back of their vehicles to fully recline to a position that is nearly flat, which is ideal for infants. The iCandy Orange, for example, has stadium-style seating that can be reclined into various positions. It also offers a UPF 50+ canopy and windows that peek out.

Wider than twin buggies

They are great for siblings with different age groups, and they allow you to move around without worrying about your children touching. They're typically a bit longer too with one seat placed behind the other and usually with a fully-flat recline option for babies (or an upright position for toddlers).

Mountain Buggy Duet is a popular option. It is the slimmest design of the two-in-ones on the market and a footprint that is comparable to a single stroller. It also has an adjustable handle, which makes it easier for parents of different heights to push as well as a handbrake that is useful when tackling difficult terrains. It is suitable for use from birth, and can be used with a wide range of car seats and carrycots.

The iCandy Wave is another option. It folds in mono or duo mode with just a single click. The clever frame expands in width to accommodate the second chair and can be used to accommodate up to two car seats or carrycots. This makes it a great option for older siblings who want to be seated together. It's slightly longer than other models, but it feels light and has a comfortable suspension for the kerbs.

There are also plenty of 3-wheeler inline tandems available Check out Phil and Teds inline models, or iCandy's Peach and Pear buggies for instance - which offer stability and swift steering. These can often be folded into a single buggy if you are limited in space at home or you need to carry it from the car to the bus stop.

It's important to remember that a double-buggy with a wider width will be heavier and bulkier than a smaller single buggy So make sure it's what you require before purchasing. You'll need to take it off and on trains, buses and subways regularly so it needs to be easy to use and manage. You may need to juggle the car seat on and off when taking your child to school or the nursery.

From birth, you are an ideal candidate

If you're expecting twins, or have a second child after your first, you're likely need to find a pushchair that fits the whole family. Double buggies are generally heavier and bulkier as well as more expensive than single strollers. However, they are more maneuverable in tighter doors or around obstacles such as curbs. Many double buggies can be used with piggyback boards (available from the manufacturer or as an accessory). This allows you to transport three children at once.

Tandem pushchairs put one child in front of the other, so they're usually a better option for families with two children who are similar in age to get along well. They're not foolproof. Siblings seated side-by-side may punch or kick each other and children of different heights could argue over who sits higher. This issue can be resolved by a tandem high-low model that elevates the seat to the back. Your older child will not be seated on the lowest part of the car and won't have much of an opportunity to see.

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, and an older child in the main seat. It features an intelligent frame that expands in width when you add the second child seat. It folds flat to make it a compact storage. The padded seats are comfortable, the straps easy to secure and the buckles are among the best we've seen on 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 downside to the iCandy tandem is that it is a bit expensive. However, a quality tandem will last you for years and retain an attractive resale value which means that in the end you'll probably recoup a portion of the cost. The iCandy does not have the same seating configurations as our other top picks. It's nevertheless an ideal choice for families who don't want to spend much cash.
