Buying a Tandem Double Buggy

If you have twins or children very similar in age, a tandem double buggie is a great choice. They are smaller than side by side buggies and are ideal for small spaces such as doorways, public transport and rough terrain.

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

Convertible

There are a variety of options for adding a second seat or making a single stroller double. The UPPAbaby V2 is large, beautiful stroller. It is easily changed from a single to a dual by adding the Rumble seat. It is more expensive and less maneuverable due to the fact that the second seat is positioned behind the first seat. Nuna Demi Grow provides a similar choice however, it doesn't have storage underneath the seat when it is used as a double stroller with foot brake stroller.

Other alternatives include all-terrain twin buggies and fixed-wheel joggers which can be used to accommodate two children. They are generally more expensive, however they're designed for long-distance trips over rough terrain and could have a higher resale value.

Reclining the seat independently

If you are looking for a double stroller that will accommodate children of different age groups, you'll need one with independent seat recliner for both seats. This allows your child of a higher age to sit back and relax while the baby sleeps in the bassinet and reverse.

Think about the width of your pushchair, as this will determine the ease of you to get through doors and on public transport. If you have very narrow doors, it may be a good idea to consider a side-byside 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 are generally larger than side-by-side models, making them more difficult to maneuver up and down kerbs. However they can be able to accommodate more combinations of car seats/car seats/seats and can make a great option for twins and siblings of different age groups. They also tend to be more expensive than single-to-double buggies, but are a worthwhile investment if you intend to keep it for many years and have a good amount of resale value should you sell it on when your children have grown out of it.

Another thing to look for is whether the backs of the seats can recline independently of one another because this allows you to put your child in the best position for napping or observation. This is especially important when you have a child younger than in the rear seat who will want to lie back and relax 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 into a position that's nearly flat, which is ideal for babies. The iCandy Orange, for example has a stadium-style seating option that can be reclined into various positions. It also comes with UPF 50+ sun protection and windows that peek out.

Larger than twin pushchair buggies

It's not necessary to have twins in order to benefit from a larger lightweight double stroller buggy. They're great for siblings of various age groups and let you move around without worrying about your children touching. They're typically a bit larger too with one seat placed behind the other and usually providing a flat recline for babies (or a more upright position for toddlers).

A popular option is the Mountain Buggy Duet, which has the slimmest side-byside design on the market and has a footprint similar to one buggy. It also features an adjustable handle, which makes it easier for parents of different heights to push, and a handbrake, which is useful when tackling difficult hills. It is suitable from birth and is compatible with a range of car seats and carrycots, meaning it makes an excellent travel system.

The iCandy Wave is another option. It folds in mono or duo mode with just a single click. Its clever frame can be expanded to accommodate a second seat and can be used with two car seats or carrycots so it's an excellent option for older siblings that want to sit in a group and enjoy the view. It's slightly longer than some other models, yet it's light to steer and has soft suspension that can handle the kerbs.

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 instance that provide stability and swift steering. Often these can be folded down to size one buggy which is useful when you have trouble storing it at home or frequently need to carry it in and out of the boot on public transportation.

Be aware that a two-wheeled buggy is more heavy and bulkier than one that is compact. Be sure you know what you want prior to making a buy. You'll be taking it on and off trains, buses and subways regularly so it needs to be easy to operate and manage. You may need to juggle the car seat in and out when you take your child to school or to nursery.

The best time to start is when you are born.

Whether you're expecting twins or have a second child after your first, you're likely need to find a stroller that can accommodate the whole family. Double buggies are typically heavier, bulkier, and more expensive than single strollers. However, they are easier to maneuver in tighter doorways and around obstacles such as curbs. They are also compatible with piggyback ride-along boards (either from the manufacturer or as an accessory purchase) so you can transport three children at the same time.

Tandem pushchairs seat one child in the front of the other, so they're generally a better option for families with two children that are close enough in age to function well together. But they're not foolproof Siblings in a side-by-side seat can kick or punch one another, and children who are different heights can argue over who should sit higher. A tandem high-low model could solve this issue by elevating the seat to the rear, which will prevent your child's height from being sat on the bottom and not getting the best double stroller view.

The iCandy Wave is a great choice for parents looking for an easy-to-use double buggy that converts to accommodate a newborn in a carrycot, and an older child in the main seat. It has a clever frame that can be expanded in width when you add the second seat. It folds to flattish storage. The padded straps, buckles, and seats are all of the highest quality we have seen in our tests. The seats can be reclined independently and the canopies are big and spacious with UPF 50+ protection and peekaboo windows.

The only drawback to the iCandy is that it's expensive however, a good tandem will last a long time and will retain its resale value, so you'll likely recoup some of the cost in the end. It also doesn't offer the same variety of seating options as some of our other top picks, but the iCandy is a good choice for families who don't wish to spend a fortune.
