You ll Never Guess This Tandem Double Buggy s Tricks

Buying a Tandem Double Buggy

A tandem double buggy can be a great choice if you have twins, or children who are very close in age. They're a bit smaller than side-byside buggies and are ideal for maneuvering tight spaces such as doors, on public transport and on rocky terrain.

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

Convertible

If you're looking for convertible stroller that can be converted from a single to a double umbrella stroller or to add another seat to an existing one, there's many options to choose from. The Vista V2 from UPPAbaby is large, gorgeous stroller that can easily be converted from a single to double by incorporating the rumble seat (available separately). It is more expensive and less maneuverable because the second seat is located behind the first seat. Nuna Demi Grow offers a similar option, but it lacks storage underneath the seat when it's used as a double stroller.

Other options include all-terrain twin buggies and fixed-wheel joggers that can hold two children. They are generally more expensive, however they're designed to last longer on rough terrain and can have more resale value.

Reclining the seat independently

If you want a double stroller that can 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 rest while the baby is sleeping in a bassinet, and vice versa.

Take into consideration the size of your pushchair, as this will determine how easy it is for you to navigate through doors and on public transport. If you have extremely narrow doors, it could be worth considering a side-by-side pushchair such as the Mountain Buggy Duet which has the advantage of having a footprint comparable to a single buggy but can still take 2 seats and car seat adaptors.

tandem double stroller buggies are generally longer than side by side models, which makes them more difficult to maneuver up and down kerbs. However they can be able to accommodate more combinations of car seats, carrycots and seats and are the perfect choice for twins and siblings of various age groups. They are also more expensive than single-to double pram pushchair buggies, but are worth the purchase if you plan to keep it for a long time and have a good amount of resale value should you sell it on when your children have grown out of it.

This feature will allow you to put your child in an ideal position for naps or observation. This is essential if your child is in the back seat and wants to rest while the older child prefers to sit up and observe the surrounding.

Certain brands come with an exclusive seat design that allows the back seat to fully recline into an almost flat position that is perfect for newborns. For instance, the iCandy Orange has raised stadium-style seating that can recline both the toddler seat included and the add-on RumbleSeat into multiple positions so that your children have a the option of where they want to sit and also comes with an excellent UPF 50+ canopy with peekaboo windows.

More spacious than twin pushchair from birth buggies

You don't need to have twins to benefit from a bigger double buggy. They're great for siblings of various age groups and let you move around without worrying about your children touching. They're usually a larger with one seat positioned behind the other. The seats can be reclined completely for newborns or in an upright position for toddlers.

A popular option is the Mountain Buggy Duet, which has the slimmest side-byside design available and features an identical footprint to one buggy. It also features an adjustable handle, making it easier for parents of different heights to push, and a handbrake, which is helpful when climbing steep hills. It can be used from birth and is compatible with a variety of car seats and carrycots, which means it makes an excellent travel system.

The iCandy Wave is another option. It can be folded in duo or mono mode with just a single click. The frame's clever design expands to accommodate an additional chair and can be used to accommodate up to two car seats or carrycots. This makes it a great option for older siblings who would like to be seated together. It's slightly longer than some other models, but it's light to steer and has soft suspension that can handle the kerbs.

There are many 3-wheeler tandems with inline wheels that offer stability and swift steering. Take a look at Phil and Teds inline models, or iCandy Peach and Pear buggies. They can be folded into a single buggy if you are limited in space at home, or need to transport it from your car to the bus stop.

It's worth bearing in mind that a double-buggy with a wider width will feel bulkier and heavier than a single buggy that is smaller So make sure you're getting what you need before you buy. You'll have to get it off and on trains, buses and subways regularly so it needs to be easy to operate and manage. You may also need to move it on and off the car seat while taking your children to nursery or school so you'll need to ensure it's easy to maneuver within small spaces.

Suitable from birth

You'll need a stroller for your entire family, whether you're expecting twins, or if you have a child after you've had your first. Double buggies are generally heavier and bulkier as well as more expensive than single strollers. However, they are more maneuverable in narrower doorways or around obstacles such as curbs. Many double running stroller buggies can be used with piggyback boards (available from the manufacturer or as an accessory). This allows you to carry three children simultaneously.

Tandem pushchairs place one child in front of the other, so they're often a better choice if you have two kids that are close enough in age to function well together. But they're not completely safe: Siblings in side-by-side seats may punch or kick one another, and children with different heights may argue over who gets to sit higher. This issue can be resolved by a tandem high-low model that elevates the seat in the rear. Your child's older one will not be seated on the lowest part of the car and won't get much of a look out.

The iCandy Wave is a good choice for parents looking for an adjustable double buggy that can be converted into a carrycot that can fit both a newborn and an older child. It features an intelligent frame that can be expanded in size when you add the second child seat. It folds flat for storage that is compact. The cushioned seats are comfortable, the straps are simple to fasten and the buckles are among the most impressive we've seen in any of our tests. Both seats can recline independently and the canopies are spacious and large with UPF 50+ protection and peekaboo windows.

The only drawback of the iCandy is that it's on the expensive side however, a good tandem will last for a long time and maintain its resale value. So you'll probably get back some of the cost in the end. The iCandy doesn't have the same seating configurations as our other top choices. However, it's an ideal choice for families who don't want to spend a lot of money.
