Buying a Tandem Double Buggy

A tandem double buggy could be a great choice if you have twins, or children who are close in age. They are smaller than side by side buggies, and are great for tight spaces like doors, public transport and terrain that is rocky.

Many also transform into travel systems that take 2 carrycots or car seats. However, they can be heavier and longer than single pushchairs double, and may feel less stable bumping up the kerbs.

Convertible

There are many options for adding a second seating or changing a single stroller into a double. The UPPAbaby V2 is a large, beautiful stroller. It can easily be changed from a single to a dual by adding the seating area with a rumble. It's costly and less mobile than other Double stroller with Cup holder strollers since the second seat is located to the left of the front seat. Nuna Demi Grow offers a similar option however, it doesn't have storage underneath the seat when it is used as a double stroller.

Other alternatives include all-terrain twin buggies and fixed-wheel joggers that can hold two children. They are more expensive, but they are designed for long trips on rough terrain and have more expensive resales.

Independent recline of the seat

If you want a double buggy with car seat stroller that will accommodate children of various age groups, you'll require one with a recliner that is independent for both seats. This will allow your older child to be able to relax while your baby is sleeping in a bassinet and reverse.

Consider the width of your pushchair, as this will determine the ease of you to get through doors and public transportation. If you have very narrow doors, it could be a good idea to consider a side-byside pushchair like the Mountain Buggy Duet which has the advantage of having a footprint that is similar to a single buggy, but can still take 2 seats and car seat adaptors.

Tandem buggies are usually slightly longer than side-by-side models and therefore aren't difficult to maneuver up and down kerbs, however, they can accommodate a bigger range of car seat/car seat combinations, making them a good option for twins or siblings of different age. These buggies are also 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 will also retain a good amount of value when sold once your kids have outgrown the buggie.

This feature allows you to put your child in a comfortable position for naps or to observe. This is important for children who are in the back seat and would like to take a 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 fully to a position that is nearly flat, which is ideal for infants. The iCandy Orange, for example is a stadium-style seat that can be reclined in various positions. It also has UPF 50+ canopy and windows that peek out.

Wider than twin buggies

They are ideal for siblings with different ages, and you can move about without worrying about your children touching. They're usually a bit longer too with one seat placed behind the other and offering a fully-flat recline for babies (or an upright position for toddlers).

A popular option is the Mountain Buggy Duet, which features the slimmest side-by-side design available and features the same footprint as a single buggy. It also features an adjustable handle, which makes it easier for parents of various heights to push as well as a handbrake that is useful when tackling difficult hills. It is suitable for use from birth, and it can be combined with a variety of car seats and carrycots.

Another option is the iCandy Wave, which has an easy one-click fold and can be utilized in a duo or mono mode. The frame's clever design expands to accommodate an additional chair and can be used to accommodate up to two car seats or carrycots. This makes it an ideal choice for older siblings that would like to sit together. It's a little longer than other models, but it still isn't heavy and has a soft suspension for kerbs.

There are a variety of 3-wheeler tandems with inline wheels that offer stability and swift steering. Check out Phil and Teds inline models as well as iCandy Peach and Pear buggies. They can be folded into a single buggy if you have limited space at home or need to carry it from the car to the bus station.

It's worth bearing in mind that a wide double buggy will be heavier and bulkier than a compact single buggy So make sure it's what you need before you buy. It will be used on buses, trains, and subways frequently therefore it must be simple to operate and use. You may also have to move it on and off the car seat when taking your children to school or nursery so you'll need to ensure it's easy to maneuver within small spaces.

From birth, you are a suitable candidate

You'll need a stroller for your entire family whether you're expecting twins, or you have another child after having your first. Double buggies are generally heavier and bulkier, as well as more expensive than single strollers. However they are much more maneuverable in tighter doorways and around obstacles such as curbs. Many double buggies work with piggyback boards (available from the manufacturer or as an add-on). This allows you to carry three children simultaneously.

Tandem pushchairs place one child in front the other. They're a good choice if your children are similar in age and get along well. They're not 100% secure. Siblings sitting side-by-side can punch or kick each other and children with different heights can fight over who is sitting higher. This problem can be solved by a tandem double stroller high-low model that elevates the seat to the back. Your child's older will not be sitting at the bottom of the car and won't get much of an eye.

The iCandy Wave is a great choice for parents looking for an easy-to-use double running buggy buggy that converts to fit a newborn into a carrycot and an older child in the main seat. It features an innovative frame that can be expanded in size when you add the second child seat. It folds flat for compact storage. The cushioned seats are comfortable, the straps are easy to fasten, and the buckles are among the most comfortable we've seen on any of our tests. You can recline both seats independently and the canopy is big and spacious with UPF 50+ protection as well as windows that can be seen from a distance.

The only drawback to the iCandy is that it's a bit on the expensive side, but a quality tandem will last a long time and maintain its resale value, which means you'll likely recoup some of the cost in the long run. The iCandy doesn't have the same seating options as our other top picks. It's nevertheless a good option for families that don't want spend a lot of money.
