The 10 Scariest Things About Double Tandem Pushchair

Which smallest double buggy tandem pushchair (additional resources) is Best For Your Family?

If you're planning for twins or another child, there are plenty of products to make life with kids moving around more comfortable. One of these is the double tandem pushchair.

From Phil and Teds to Baby Jogger, most brands offer a double stroller in their range of products. They are available as inline or side-by-side convertible models.

Stability

Whether you have twins or children of similar age, a thule double stroller tandem pushchair makes travelling with two of them much more enjoyable and comfortable. There are so many designs and configurations to choose from that it can be difficult to decide which one is best for your family. Some are more suitable for running, while others can accommodate a third passenger by adding a buggyboard. Which ones are the most stable however?

Side-by-side pushchairs (like the CYBEX Gazelle S) are great for transporting children who are the same age. However, they can be tricky to maneuver around narrow doorways and aisles for shopping. In this situation you may be better off with a stadium-style model, like the Bugaboo Donkey or Mountain Buggy Duet, which allow children to either face either you or the other based on the configuration.

Tandem models that seat one behind the other are more manageable than side-by-side pushchairs, but they're not as stable as single strollers or car seats. They aren't easy to lift up curbs and they could have less storage space than a side-by-side pushchair.

It is recommended to test the double single pushchair with both seats in place, because that's the way you'll be using it the most. You should check how easy it is to navigate and steer, particularly in tight corners or with the front wheels that swivel. It is recommended to test the brakes too, as they can be difficult to operate when both child seats are attached.

The Phil & Teds Sports Double is the ideal double stroller for people who are looking for a high-quality, affordable stroller that can be used for all. This sleek, compact pushchair can be changed from a single model to tandem in a couple of simple steps. The seat and carrycot recline and can be used with the parent facing or facing each other, and the air-filled tyres and all-wheel suspension make it perfect for tackling a range of terrains. It has a handy underseat storage basket, but access to this is partially restricted when the second seat is in place.

Comfort

There's a double stroller that is suitable for any family, regardless of whether you have twins or a toddler newborn. They can be used to transport two children side-by-side, but many can be converted into one pushchair (though this typically requires the removal of one seat). They tend to be larger than a single stroller but they offer great value and versatility.

In our recent double pushchair reviews, we asked testers to score each model based on a variety of factors including ride comfort, handling ease and how well it folded. They also rated the ease of getting in and out of the car seat, as well as whether it could be used with the baby carrier.

The Stroller & Co City Tour 2 Double is an excellent example of a comfortable, flexible and lightweight double stroller. The reviewers who reviewed it praised its large UPF 50+ canopy, which offers real shade and the ability to peek at. Both seats can be reclined to different positions by pressing a button. One seat can be made to lay flat so a newborn can rest in the carrycot on top of it.

Other fantastic features of this pushchair include the padded handlebar, cup holder and pouch, the easy-to-use braking system and the reversible seating liner made of bamboo that is naturally anti-bacterial on one side and soft jersey on the other. Our test subjects also appreciated the fact that you can fold it in one hand, which is a big benefit when you have two small children to watch.

They are more expensive, however, they offer more flexibility as they can fit through narrow aisles and doors. They aren't easy to navigate up kerbs and can be heavy to push however, they come with an inclined front load that helps to balance the weight.

Flexibility

If you're looking to keep your twins in close proximity or have a baby and toddler, a double tandem pushchair can be an invaluable addition to your family. It can assist you in avoiding the irritation of children waking each other or fighting while out and about, keeping the two of them happy. This type of buggy is ideal when you plan to use it on public transportation because it is more easily incorporated into the space available.

Some models are ultra flexible and allow you to change back to single mode when your child is ready to use a stroller. This allows you to not have to buy an entirely new stroller.

It can be used with the stroller and a roll-away case for parents. This lets you travel light, while still having everything your family needs.

It folds easily and can be inserted into many doors. The basket underneath the carriage is also higher and makes it easier to load groceries. The back seat is protected to keep your kid warm during winter.

A side-byside pram is bigger than a tandem, which makes it harder to navigate crowded walkways or narrow aisles in shops. However, it's more maneuverable on rocky terrain than a standard pushchair. Some of these prams may be difficult to steer in tight turns, particularly when your child is heavier in the front seat.

A double pushchair that is inline, however is a better choice for families with multiple children. It can be used as twin prams for children who are young but it could also be converted into a tandem once they grow older. Certain models, such as the iCandy Peach 3+ can accommodate two iSize car seats. This gives you the maximum flexibility and value.
