Which Double Tandem Pushchair is Best For Your Family?

There are a variety of products that can make the lives of parents with two children or twins easier. One of them is the double tandem pushchair.

Most brands have double buggy models as part of their range, from Phil & Teds to Baby Jogger. They are available as side-by-side or convertible models that are inline.

Stability

If you have twins or children of similar age, a double tandem pushchair makes travelling with two of them much more enjoyable and comfortable. There are so many different styles and configurations available it can be hard to know which one is best for your family. Some are better for jogging than others, or can fit a third seat when you add on buggy boards. But which ones are the most solid?

The CYBEX Gazelle is a great option for children who are the same age. However, they can be tricky to maneuver around narrow entrances and aisles for shopping. In this situation you might prefer models that are stadium-style like the Bugaboo Donkey, or Mountain Buggy Duet. These models allow your children to face you or the other depending on their configuration.

Tandem models, which place one behind the next can be more manageable, however they are still not as stable as single strollers or child car seats. They can be difficult to push up curbs, and they might have less storage space than a side-by-side by side double stroller pushchair.

You should test the double with both seats in place, as that is how you'll be using it most. You should check the ease with which you can navigate and steer, particularly in tight corners or when using the swivel front wheels. Also, you should check the brakes, as they can be difficult to operate when the child and infant seats are connected.

If you're looking for a high-quality double stroller at a reasonable price that does everything look no further than Phil & Teds Sport Double. This sleek compact stroller can be changed from a single model to tandem in a few easy steps. The seat and carrycot recline and can be used either facing the parent or facing each other, and the air-filled tyres and all-wheel suspension make it suitable for tackling a variety of terrains. It has a handy underseat storage basket but access to this is partially blocked when the second seat is placed.

Comfort

If you have twins or a newborn and toddler there is a double pushchair that will fit your family. They can be used to transport two children in tandem, but some can be converted to a single pushchair (though this will usually require the removal of one seat). They are generally larger than a single stroller, but they offer the best value and flexibility.

In our most recent double pushchair reviews, we asked testers to score each model on a range of factors including ride comfort, ease of use and how well it folded. They also assessed the ease of taking out and putting in the car seat, and whether it could be used along with baby carriers.

The Stroller & Co City Tour 2 Double stroller is a fantastic example of a lightweight and comfortable double stroller. The reviewers who reviewed it praised its large UPF 50+ canopy, which provides real shade with a peekaboo feature. Both seats can recline into various positions by pressing an arrow. One seat can also be made to lie flat so that babies can sleep peacefully in the carrycot which is attached to it.

The reversible seat lining with bamboo that naturally antibacterial on one hand and soft Jersey on the other is another fantastic feature. The possibility of being folded in one hand is also an amazing feature, especially when you're looking after two small double buggy children.

Side-by-side models are typically more expensive than tandem buggies, but they offer the most flexibility since they are made to fit into narrow aisles and doors. They can be difficult to move up kerbs, and heavy to push, however, they come with a front-loaded load that helps to distribute the weight.

Flexibility

If you're looking for a way to keep your twins in close proximity or have a newborn and a toddler, a double tandem pushchair can be an invaluable addition to your family. It can help you avoid the annoyance of kids waking each other or fighting while on the move, and keep them both content. This type of buggy can also be a great option when you intend to use it on public transportation, as it is easier to fit in the available space.

Some models provide an extreme degree of flexibility, including the ability to switch to single double stroller mode once your baby is ready to use strollers without having to purchase a completely new one. The UPPAbaby V2 Double is able to accommodate two infant car seats in the back, as well as a riding board making it suitable for three kids. It can also be utilized with a stroller seat and a roll-away suitcase for the parents which allows you to travel light but still taking everything your family needs.

The back seat is protected to keep your kid warm during winter.

A side-byside pram is bigger than a tandem, which makes it difficult to navigate shopping aisles or narrow footpaths. However, it can be more maneuverable on rough terrain than a standard pushchair. Some of these pushchairs can be difficult to steer during tight turns, particularly in the case of a child who is heavier in the front seat.

An inline double pushchair however is the best option for the majority of families. It can usually be used as a tandem pram when your children are younger, but can also convert to a tandem when they're older. Some of these models, such as the iCandy Peach 3+, can be used with two i-Size vehicle seats, giving you ultimate flexibility and price-for-value.

Storage

The main drawback of a double buggy may be that it takes up more space on public transport and is harder to maneuver through narrow doors or lifts. They can also be more expensive, especially side-by-side models that have a second seat in front.

Some models, such as the Joolz Geo or the Uppababy Vista V2 are able to be converted into tandem pushchairs. This is a cost-effective option if you plan to have a baby in the near future.
