Buying a tandem double buggy - browse this site -

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

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

Convertible

There are many options to add a second seat or changing a single stroller into a double. The UPPAbaby V2 is spacious, gorgeous stroller. It can be easily converted from a single to a dual by adding an seating area with a rumble. It's costly and less mobile than other double strollers due to the fact that the second seat is placed in front of the front seat. The Nuna Demi Grow is a similar model with great seating flexibility, however it does not have storage under the seat when used in doubles mode.

Other alternatives include all-terrain lightweight twin buggy buggies and fixed-wheel joggers which can be used to accommodate two children. These tend to be more expensive but they're designed for long-distance trips over rough terrain, and may have more resale value.

Independent seat recline

If you're looking for a double buggy that is able to carry children of different ages then you're going to require a model with an recline independent for both seats. This will allow your older child to relax in the back while the baby is in the bassinet, and reverse.

It is also important to think about the size of the stroller as this will impact the ease of navigate through doors and on public transportation. If you have narrow doors, it could be worthwhile to consider a side-by-side pushchair such as the Mountain Buggy Duet which has the benefit of having a footprint comparable to a single buggy, however, it is able to take 2 seats and car seat adaptors.

Tandem buggies are typically longer than side by side models, which makes them more difficult to maneuver around and down kerbs. However they can also accommodate a wider range of combinations of seats/carrycots/car seats and can make an excellent choice for twins and siblings of different age groups. They are also more expensive than single-to-double buggies, but are a worthwhile purchase if you plan to keep it for a long time and have a good amount of resale value if you sell it on after your children have grown out of it.

This feature will allow you to place your child in a comfortable position for naps and observation. This is particularly important if you have a child younger than in the rear seat, who will want to lie back and sleep while the more mature child wants to sit up and observe their surroundings.

Some brands have a unique design that allows the back seat of their vehicles to fully recline into a position that's nearly flat, which is ideal for babies. For example the iCandy Orange has raised stadium-style seating that can recline both the toddler seat included and the additional RumbleSeat to multiple positions, so your kids can have the option of deciding where they will sit, as well as providing an excellent UPF 50+ canopy that has windows that peek out.

Wider than twin strollers for newborns buggies

They are perfect for siblings with different age groups, and they allow you to get around without having to worry about your children touching. They're typically a bit longer, with one seat behind the other. The seats can be reclined fully for infants, or put in 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 one buggy. It features an adjustable handle that makes it easier for parents to push, and a handbrake that is helpful on steep hills. It can be used from birth and is compatible with a variety of car seats and carrycots. This means it is a great travel system.

The iCandy Wave is another option. It can be folded in either mono or duo mode with just one click. The clever frame can be expanded to accommodate the second chair and can be used to accommodate up to two car seats or carrycots. This makes it an ideal option for older siblings who want to be seated together. It's a little larger than other models, but it still isn't heavy and has a soft suspension for curbs.

There are also a variety of 3-wheeler inline tandems that are available - check out Phil and Teds inline models or iCandy's Peach and Pear buggies, for example that provide stability and swift steering. Often these can be folded down to size one buggie which is useful if you struggle with storage at home or frequently need to carry it in and out of your car when using public transport.

It's important to keep in mind that a double-buggy with a wider width will feel bulkier and heavier than a compact single buggy, so make sure it's what you need before you buy. You'll be taking it on and off subways, trains and buses frequently, so it must be easy to use and manage. You might also have to move it on and off the car seat when taking your children to nursery or school so you'll need to know it is able to be maneuvered in small spaces.

From birth, you're an ideal candidate

You'll need a pushchair for the whole family, whether you're expecting twins or if you have a child after you've had your first. Double buggies are typically heavier and bulkier as well as more expensive than single strollers. However they are also easier to maneuver in tighter doors and around obstacles such as curbs. Many double buggies can be used with piggyback boards (available from the manufacturer or as an add-on). This lets you transport three children simultaneously.

tandem double stroller pushchairs seat one child in the front of the other, and they're usually a better option when you have two children who are similar in age to be able to live well together. They're not foolproof. Siblings sitting side-by-side can punch or kick one another, and children of different heights may fight over who sits higher. A tandem high-low model is able to solve this issue by elevating the seat to the rear, which prevents your older child from being sat on the bottom and not getting the best view.

The iCandy Wave is a great choice for parents looking for an easy-to-use convertible double buggy that can fit both a newborn in a carrycot as well as an older child in the main seat. It has a clever frame which can be expanded in size when you add the second child seat. It also folds flat for storage that is compact. The seats are cushioned and comfortable, the straps easy to fasten, and the buckles some of the most impressive we've seen in any of our tests. Both seats can recline independently and the canopy is large and generous with UPF 50+ protection as well as windows that peek out.

The only drawback of the iCandy is that it's expensive however, a good tandem will last for years and retain its resale value, which means you'll likely recoup some of the cost over the long term. The iCandy doesn't come with the same seating arrangements as our other top selections. However, it's an ideal choice for families that don't want spend much money.
