Buying a Tandem Double Buggy

A tandem double buggy can be a great choice when you have twins or children who are close in age. They are narrower than side by side buggies, and are great for small spaces such as doors, public transport, and terrain that is rocky.

Many transform into travel systems that use two carrycots or car seats. However, they are heavier and longer than single pushchairs, and might feel less stable when as they bump up kerbs.

Convertible

There are a variety of options for adding a second seating or converting a single stroller to a double. The Vista V2 from UPPAbaby is large, gorgeous stroller that easily converts from a single stroller to a double by incorporating the rumble seat (available separately). However, it's pricey and less mobile than other double strollers due to the fact that the second seat is placed to the left of the front seat. The Nuna Demi Grow is a comparable model with great seating flexibility, however it does not have storage under the seat when used in doubles mode.

Other options include twin buggies that have all-terrain wheels as well as joggers that have fixed wheels that can accommodate two kids. They are more expensive however, they are designed for long-distance trips over rough terrain and come with more expensive resales.

Reclining the seat independently

If you're looking for a stokke double stroller stroller that will accommodate children of different ages, you will need one with an independent recliner for both seats. This will allow your child's older to relax in the back while the baby sleeps in the bassinet, and reverse.

Take into consideration the size of your pushchair and consider how easy it is for you to get through doors and on public transportation. If you have very narrow doorways then it might be worthwhile to consider a side-by-side pushchair like the Mountain Buggy Duet which has the benefit of having a footprint similar to a single buggy however, it is able to accommodate two seats and car seat adaptors.

Tandem buggies are usually slightly longer than side-by-side models and therefore aren't easy to manoeuvre up and down kerbs, however they can be able to accommodate a bigger range of car/car/seat combinations, making them a good option for twins or siblings of different ages. They are priced higher than single buggies to double however they're worth it if you plan to keep it for a number of years. They will also retain an impressive amount of value if sold when your children have outgrown it.

This feature will allow you to place your child in the most comfortable position for naps or to observe. This is crucial when your child is in the back seat and wants to nap while the more mature child prefers to sit and observe the surroundings.

Certain brands come with an exclusive seat design that allows the back seat to completely recline into an almost flat position which is perfect for babies. The iCandy Orange, for example has a stadium-style seating option that can be reclined to multiple positions. It also offers UPF 50+ sun protection and windows that peek out.

Larger than twin buggies

You don't need to have twins to benefit from a larger double buggy. They're perfect for siblings of various ages and allow you to move around without worrying about your children touching. They're typically a little larger with one seat placed behind the other and offering a fully-flat recline for babies (or an upright position for toddlers).

Mountain Buggy Duet is a popular choice. It is the slimmest design that is side-by-side and a footprint that is like the footprint of a single 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 is suitable to use from birth and it can be combined with a wide range of car seats and carrycots.

The iCandy Wave is another option. It folds in duo or mono mode with just one click. Its innovative frame can be expanded widthwise to accommodate a second seat and it can be used with two carrycots or car seats making it a great choice for older siblings who wish to sit together and share the view. It's a bit longer than other models but still feels easy to steer and has soft suspension that is able to handle the kerbs.

There are a lot of 3-wheeler inline tandems available Check out Phil and Teds inline models, or iCandy's Peach and Pear buggies for instance - which provide stability and swift steering. They are often folded down to size a single buggy, which is helpful if you struggle with storage at home or frequently need to transport it into and out of the car when using public transport.

Be aware that a two-wheeled buggy will be heavier and heavier than a single compact buggy. Be sure you know what you want prior to making a buy. It is likely to be used on buses, trains, and subways frequently therefore it must be simple to use and manage. You may also have to move it on and off the car seat when taking your children to nursery or school so you'll need to ensure it is able to be maneuvered within small spaces.

Suitable from birth

If you're expecting twins or have another child after your first, you're going to need to find a pushchair that fits the whole family. Double buggies are typically larger, heavier and more expensive than single strollers, however they can also be easier to manoeuvre in narrower entrances or around obstacles like curbs. Many are also compatible with piggyback ride-along boards (either from the manufacturer or as an accessory purchase) which means you can carry three children at once.

Tandem pushchairs put one child in front of the other. They're a great option if your children are close in age and get along well. They're not completely safe. Siblings who are sitting side-by-side could punch or kick each other and children with different heights can fight over who sits higher. A tandem high-low model can solve this problem by elevating the seat at the rear, which will prevent your child's older one from being on the bottom and not getting the best view.

The iCandy Wave is a good alternative for parents looking for a convertible Cosatto Woosh Double Stroller for Twins - Lightweight buggy that includes a carrycot that is able to accommodate both a newborn and an older child. It features a clever frame that can be expanded in width when you add a 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 canopy is large in size and UPF 50+ protection, and a peekaboo window. Both seats are reclined independently.

The only drawback to the iCandy tandem is that it's quite expensive. However, a good tandem will last for many years and have the highest resale value, so at the end of the day you'll probably recoup some of the cost. The iCandy doesn't come with the same seating arrangements as our other top picks. However, it's a good option for families that don't want spend lots of money.
