Buying a Tandem Double Buggy

A tandem double buggy could be a great option if you have twins, or children who are close in age. They're narrower than side-by-side buggies, and ideal for maneuvering tight spaces such as entrances, on public transportation and rocky terrain.

Some can be converted to travel systems that use two carrycots or car seats for children. They are typically heavier, longer and less stable than a single pushchair.

Convertible

Whether you're looking for a convertible single-to-double pram stroller stroller or want to add a second seat to an existing one, there's many options to choose from. The Vista V2 from UPPAbaby is big, beautiful stroller that easily converts from a single to double by incorporating the rumble seat (available separately). It's costly and less mobile than other double strollers because the 2nd 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 lacks under-seat storage when used in doubles mode.

Other options include all-terrain twin stroller with car seats buggies as well as fixed-wheel joggers that can hold two children. These are more expensive, however, they are designed to last longer on rough terrain and come with a higher resale price.

Independent seat recline

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

You'll also have to think about the size of the pushchair, as this will impact the ease of navigate through doors and on public transportation. If you have extremely narrow doorways then it might be worth considering a side-by-side pushchair such as the Mountain Buggy Duet which has the benefit of having a footprint similar to a single buggy however it can take 2 seats and car seat adaptors.

Tandem buggies generally are slightly longer than side-by-side models and therefore aren't easy to manoeuvre through kerbs and up and down, however they can be able to accommodate a bigger range of seat/carrycot/car seat combinations so can be a good option for twins or siblings of various ages. These buggies are also more expensive than single to double buggies however they're worth the cost if you plan to keep it for a number of years. They'll also keep an impressive amount of value if you decide to sell it when your kids have outgrown it.

This feature will allow you to put your child in an ideal position for naps and observation. This is especially important when you have a young child in the rear seat who will want to lie back and sleep while the older child wants to sit and observe their surroundings.

Some brands have a unique design that allows the back of their vehicles to recline fully to a position that is almost flat, ideal for infants. The iCandy Orange, for example has a stadium-style seating option that can be reclined to multiple positions. It also comes with UPF 50+ canopy and windows that peek out.

Larger than twin buggies

It's not necessary to have twins to benefit from a wider double buggy. They're great for siblings of different age groups and let you get around without worrying about your children touching each other. They're typically a bit larger too, with one seat sitting behind the other and providing a flat recline for babies (or an upright position for toddlers).

Mountain Buggy Duet is a popular option. It is the tiniest design of the two-in-ones on the market and a footprint comparable to one stroller. It features an adjustable handle that makes it easier for parents to push and a handbrake, which can be useful on hills that are steep. It can be used from birth and is compatible with a variety of car seats and carrycots, meaning it makes an excellent travel system.

Another option is the iCandy Wave, which has a simple one-click to fold and is able to be used in duo or mono mode. Its clever frame expands in width to accommodate an additional chair and can be used up to two car seats or carrycots. This makes it a fantastic option for older siblings who wish to be seated together. It's slightly longer than other models, but it isn't heavy and has a soft suspension for curbs.

There are a variety of 3-wheeler tandems with inline wheels that offer stability and swift steering. Check out Phil and Teds inline models, or iCandy Peach and Pear buggies. Most of them can be folded into the size of one buggy, which is helpful when you have trouble storing it at home or need to carry it in and out of the car on public transport.

Be aware that a double wide buggy is heavier and more bulkier than one that is compact. Be sure to know what you want prior to making a purchase. You'll have to get it off and on subways, buses, and trains often, so it should be easy to operate and manage. You may also have to juggle it on and off the car seat when you take your children to nursery or school so you'll need to know it's easy to maneuver in small spaces.

From your birth, you are a suitable candidate

There will be a need for a pushchair for your entire family, regardless of whether you're expecting twins or you have another child after having your first. Double buggies are typically slightly heavier, bulkier and more expensive than single to double pushchair strollers. However, they are also easier to manoeuvre through narrower doors or around obstacles like curbs. Many are also compatible with piggyback ride-along boards (either from the manufacturer or via a separate accessory purchase) so you can transport three children at the same time.

Tandem Pushchairs double place one child in the front of the other, so they're usually a better option when you have two children that are close enough in age to function well. They're not 100% secure. Siblings sitting side-by-side can punch or kick each other and children with different heights could argue over who sits taller. This issue can be resolved by a tandem high-low model that elevates the seat at the back. Your child's older one will not be seated on the bottom of the car and won't have much of a look out.

The iCandy Wave is a good option for parents who are looking for a convertible double buggy that includes a carrycot that is able to accommodate both a newborn and an older child. It has an innovative frame that can be expanded in size when you add a second child seat. It folds flat for storage that is compact. The seats are cushioned and comfortable, the straps are easy to fasten, and the buckles some of the most comfortable we've seen on any of our tests. The seats can be reclined independently, and the canopies are large and generous with UPF 50+ protection and peekaboo windows.

The only downside to the iCandy tandem is that it's quite expensive. But a high-quality tandem will last for many years and have the highest resale value, so 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 choices. It's nevertheless an excellent choice for families that don't want spend a lot of money.
