The Next Big New Tandem Double Buggy Industry

Buying a Tandem double running buggy Buggy

If you have twins or children similar in age, a tandem double buggie is a fantastic option. They are a bit smaller than side-by-side buggies and are great for narrow spaces like doors, public transport and terrain that is rocky.

Some transform into travel systems that include two carrycots or car seats. However, they can be heavier and longer than single pushchairs, and might feel less stable when bumping up the kerbs.

Convertible

There are a variety of options for adding a second seating or changing a single stroller into Double pram for twins. The UPPAbaby V2 is a large, beautiful stroller. It can easily be changed from a single to a dual by adding a rumble seat. It is more expensive and less maneuverable since the second seat is positioned behind the first seat. The Nuna Demi Grow is a similar model with a wide range of seating options, but lacks under-seat storage when used in doubles mode.

Other alternatives include twin buggy buggies with all-terrain wheels, and joggers with fixed wheels that can be used to carry two kids. These tend to be more expensive, however they're designed for long trips over rough terrain, and may have more resale value.

Independent seat recline

If you want a double running buggy stroller which can accommodate children of different age groups, you'll need one with a recliner that is independent for both seats. This will allow your older child to rest in the back while the baby sleeps in the bassinet, and the reverse.

Consider the width of your stroller, as this will determine the ease of you to get through doors and on public transportation. If you have very narrow doors, it could be worth considering a side-by-side pushchair, such as the Mountain Buggy Duet which has the benefit of having a footprint that is similar to a single buggy, however, it is able to use two seats and car seat adaptors.

Tandem buggies are generally larger than side-by-side models, and therefore are more difficult to maneuver up and down kerbs. However they can be able to accommodate more combinations of car seats, carrycots and seats and can make a great option for twins and siblings of various age groups. They are more expensive than single to double buggies but they're well worth it if you plan to keep it for a number of years. They will also retain 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 a comfortable position for naps and observation. This is especially important if you have a younger child in the rear seat who will be inclined to lie down and take a snooze while the older child wants to sit and observe their surroundings.

Certain brands have a unique design that allows the back seat of their vehicles to recline into a position that's almost flat, perfect for infants. The iCandy Orange, for example, has stadium-style seating that can be reclined to various positions. It also offers a UPF 50+ canopy and windows that peek out.

Larger than twin buggies

You don't need to have twins in order to benefit from a larger double buggy. They're great for siblings of different age groups. They allow you to go about your day without worrying about your children touching each other. They're usually a bit longer too with one seat placed behind the other and usually offering a fully-flat recline for babies (or an upright position for toddlers).

Mountain Buggy Duet is a popular choice. It is the tiniest design side-by-side on the market, and a footprint similar to a single stroller. It also comes with an adjustable handle, which makes it easy for parents of different heights to push as well as an adjustable handbrake, which is helpful when climbing steep hills. It is suitable to use from birth and it can be combined with a range of car seats and carrycots.

The iCandy Wave is another option. It can be folded in duo or mono mode with just one click. The frame's clever design expands to accommodate a second chair and can be used with up to two car seats or carrycots. This makes it an ideal choice for older siblings that would like 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 plenty of 3-wheeler tandems with inline tires that provide stability and fast steering. Take a look at Phil and Teds inline models, or iCandy Peach and Pear buggies. They can be folded into one buggy if you have limited space at home, or need to transport it from the car to the bus station.

It's important to keep in mind that a large double buggy will feel bulkier and heavier than a smaller single buggy So make sure it's what you need before you purchase. You'll need to take it off and on trains, buses and subways often, so it should be easy to operate and manage. It is possible that you will need to move the car seat in and out when taking your child to school or nursery.

The best time to start is when you are born.

If you're expecting twins, or you have a child following your first, you're likely need to find an appropriate pushchair for the whole family. Double buggies are generally heavier and bulkier as well as more expensive than single strollers. However they are also more maneuverable in tighter doors or around obstacles such as curbs. Many double buggies work with piggyback boards (available from the manufacturer or as an accessory). This lets you transport three children simultaneously.

Tandem pushchairs place one child ahead of the other. They're a good option if your children are of similar ages and are able to get along. They're not foolproof. Siblings seated side-by-side may punch or kick one another and children of different heights may fight over who is sitting higher. A tandem high-low model is able to solve this issue by elevating the seat towards the rear, which will prevent your older child from sitting on the bottom and not having any view.

The iCandy Wave is a good choice for parents looking for a convertible double buggy with a carrycot that can accommodate both the newborn and the older child. It has an intelligent frame that increases in size when you add a second child seat. It also folds flat for compact twin stroller storage. The padded straps, buckles, and seats are all of the highest quality we have encountered in our testing. The seats can be reclined independently, and the canopies are spacious and large with UPF 50+ protection and windows that peek out.

The only downside to the iCandy tandem is that it's a bit costly. However, a good tandem double buggy will last for a long time and will have a high resale price, so in the end you'll probably recoup a portion of the cost. The iCandy does not have the same seating options as our other top choices. It's nevertheless a good option for families who don't want to spend much money.
