You ll Never Guess This Tandem Double Buggy s Benefits

Buying a Tandem Double Buggy

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

Some convert into travel systems to include two carrycots or car seats. However, they can be heavier and longer than single pushchairs, and might feel less stable when as they bump up kerbs.

Convertible

There are many options for adding a second seat or making a single stroller a double. The Vista V2 from UPPAbaby is big, beautiful stroller double that converts easily from a single stroller to double by adding the rumble seating (available separately). It is more expensive and less maneuverable because the second seat is located in front of the first seat. The Nuna Demi Grow is a similar option with a wide range of seating options, but isn't equipped with storage under the seat when used in doubles mode.

Other alternatives include twin buggies with all-terrain wheels, and joggers with fixed wheels that can be used to carry two children. They are generally more expensive, but they're made for long-distance trips over rough terrain, and may have greater resales value.

Independent recline of the seat

If you're looking for a double buggy that can transport children of different ages then you're going to require a model with an independent seat recline for both seats. This will allow your older child to rest while the baby is in the bassinet and the reverse is true.

Think about the width of your stroller to determine how easy it is for you to navigate through doors and on public transport. If you have extremely narrow doorways then it might be worthwhile to consider a side-by-side pushchair, such as the Mountain Buggy Duet which has the advantage of having a footprint comparable to a single buggy, however, it is able to use two seats and car seat adaptors.

Tandem buggies are usually a little longer than side-by-side models and therefore aren't easy to manoeuvre through kerbs and up and down, however, they can accommodate a bigger range of car/car/seat combinations, and are a great option for twins or siblings of various age. They are also more expensive than single-to double pram pushchair buggies, but are worth the purchase if you plan to keep it for years and have a good amount of resale value if you decide to sell it off when your children have grown out of it.

Another important feature to look out for is if the backs of the seats can recline independently from one another as this will let you put your child in the best position for naps or watching. This is especially important if you have a young child in the rear seat who will prefer to lay back and take a snooze while the older child would prefer to sit up and look around their surroundings.

Some brands feature a unique seat design which allows the back seat to completely recline into an almost flat position which is perfect for infants. The iCandy Orange, for example is a stadium-style seat that can be reclined into several positions. It also comes with UPF 50+ sun protection and peekaboo windows.

Wider than twin buggies

It's not necessary to have twins to benefit from a wider double buggy - they're ideal for siblings of various age groups and let you get around without having to worry about your children touching. They are usually a little more spacious with one seat positioned behind the other. The seats can be reclined completely for babies or placed in an upright position for toddlers.

Mountain Buggy Duet is a popular choice. It has the slimmest design side-by-side on the market, and a footprint comparable to a single stroller. It has an adjustable handle that makes it easier for parents to push and a handbrake which is useful on steep hills. It is suitable for use from birth, and can be paired with a range of car seats and carrycots.

The iCandy Wave is another option. It can be folded in mono or duo mode in a single click. The frame's clever design can be expanded to accommodate the second chair and can be used up to two car seats or carrycots. This makes it a great choice for older siblings that want to sit together. It's slightly larger than other models, but it isn't heavy and has a soft suspension for the kerbs.

There are plenty of 3-wheeler tandems that have inline wheels that offer stability and quick 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 the car to the bus station.

Be aware that a double-wide buggy will be more heavy and bulkier than a single compact buggy. Make sure you know what you want prior to making a buy. It is likely to be used on trains, buses and subways often, so it must be easy to use and manage. You might also have to move it on and off the car seat when you take your children to nursery or school so you'll need to be aware it is able to be maneuvered in small spaces.

The best time to start is when you are born.

You'll need a pushchair for your entire family whether you're expecting twins, or you have a second child after you've had your first. Double buggies are generally larger, heavier and more expensive than single strollers. However, they can also be more maneuverable through narrower doors or around obstacles such as curbs. They are also compatible with piggyback ride-along boards (either from the manufacturer or via an accessory purchase) so you can transport three children at a time.

Tandem pushchairs put one child in front of the other, and they're usually a better option for families with two children who are similar in age to get along well. They're not foolproof. Siblings sitting side-by-side can punch or kick each other and children of different heights can fight over who sits higher. A tandem high-low model could solve this issue by elevating the seat to the rear, which will prevent your child's older one from being on the bottom and not having any view.

The iCandy Wave is a good choice for parents looking for an adjustable double stroller with bassinet buggy that can be converted into a carrycot that is able to accommodate both the newborn and the older child. It features a smart frame that expands widthways when you add a second seat, and folds to flattish storage. The seats are cushioned and comfortable, the straps are simple to fasten, and the buckles some of the most comfortable we've seen on any of our tests. The canopy is large in size, UPF 50+ protection, and a the window is peekaboo. Both seats are reclined independently.

The only downside of the iCandy is that it's a little on the expensive side but a high-quality tandem will last a long time and retain its resale value, so you'll probably recoup some of the cost in the long run. It doesn't have the same variety of seating options as the other top choices however, the iCandy is a great choice for families that don't want to shell out a lot of money.
