Buying a Tandem Double Buggy

A tandem double buggy can be a fantastic option if you have twins, or children who are very close in age. They are smaller than side by side buggies and are ideal for narrow spaces like doors, public transport, and terrain that is rocky.

Some are able to be converted into travel systems that can take two carrycots or child car seats. However, they can be heavier and longer than single pushchairs, and might feel less stable when as they bump up kerbs.

Convertible

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

Other alternatives include all-terrain twin buggy from birth buggies as well as fixed-wheel joggers that can accommodate two children. They are more expensive however, they are designed for long trips on rough terrain and have more expensive resales.

Independent recline of the seat

If you're looking for a stokke double stroller buggy to carry children of different ages then you're going to need a buggy that has an recline independent for both seats. This allows your child of a higher age to sit back and relax while the baby sleeps in the bassinet and reverse.

You'll also have to consider the width of the stroller as this will affect how easy it is to traverse doors and public transportation. If you have 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 that is similar to a single buggy but can still take 2 seats and car seat adaptors.

Tandem buggies are generally a little longer than side-by-side models, and aren't as easy to manoeuvre up and down kerbs, however, they can accommodate a wider range of car seat/car seat combinations, making them a good option for twins or siblings of different age groups. They can also be more expensive than single-to double buggies, but are a good investment if you plan to keep it for years and will have a decent amount of resale value in the event that you sell it on after your children have grown out of it.

Another important feature to look out for is if the seat backs are able to recline independently from one another as this will let you put your child in the best position for napping or observation. This is especially important when you have a younger child in the rear seat who will prefer to lay back and take a snooze while the more mature child wants to sit up and look around their surroundings.

A few brands have a unique design for their seats that allows the back seat to fully recline to an almost flat position, which is ideal for newborns. The iCandy Orange, for example is a stadium-style seat that can be reclined in several positions. It also offers a UPF 50+ canopy and peekaboo windows.

Wider than twin buggies

You don't need to have twins to benefit from a wider double buggy. They're great for siblings of different age groups. They allow you to get around without worrying about your children touching. They are usually a little more spacious with one seat in front of the other. The seats can be reclined completely for babies or placed in an upright position for toddlers.

A popular option is the Mountain Buggy Duet, which features the slimmest side-by-side design on the market and has the same footprint as a single to double buggy buggy. It features an adjustable handle that makes it easier for parents to push, and a handbrake, which is useful on steep hills. It can be used from birth and is compatible with a variety of car seats and carrycots, meaning it makes an excellent travel system.

The iCandy Wave is another option. It can be folded in either mono or duo mode with just one click. The frame's clever design can be expanded to accommodate a second 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 a little longer than other models but still feels easy to steer and has soft suspension that can handle kerbs.

There are also a variety of 3-wheeler inline tandems available - check out Phil and Teds inline models, or iCandy's Peach and Pear buggies, for instance - which provide stability and swift steering. Often these can be folded down to size one buggie which is useful for those who struggle with storage at home or need to carry it in and out of the boot when you travel on public transport.

It's worth bearing in mind that a wide double buggy will feel bulkier and heavier than a single buggy that is smaller So make sure it's what you require before purchasing. You'll have to get it on and off trains, buses and subways frequently, so it must be easy to use and manage. You might also have to juggle it on and off the car seat while taking your children to nursery or school so you'll need to be aware it's easy to maneuver within small spaces.

Suitable from birth

Whether you're expecting twins or have another child after your first, you're likely need to find an appropriate pushchair twin for the whole family. double buggy that converts to single buggies are generally heavier, bulkier, and more expensive than single strollers. However they are also easier to maneuver in tighter doorways or around obstacles such as curbs. They are also compatible with piggyback ride-along boards (either from the manufacturer or via a separate accessory purchase) to allow you to transport three children at a time.

Tandem pushchairs place one child in front the other. They're a good choice if your children are of similar ages and are able to get along. They're not completely safe. Siblings seated side-by-side may punch or kick each other and children with different heights may fight over who sits taller. This issue can be addressed by a tandem high-low model that raises the seat at the rear. Your older child will not be seated on the lower part of the car, and won't get much of an opportunity to see.

The iCandy Wave is a great alternative for parents who want an easy-to-use convertible double buggy that can fit both a newborn in a carrycot and an older child in the main seat. It features a clever frame that can be expanded in width when you add the second seat, and folds to flattish storage. The cushioned straps, buckles, and seats are all of the highest quality we have seen in our tests. Both seats can recline independently and the canopy is large and generous with UPF 50+ protection and windows that peek out.

The only downside to the iCandy tandem is that it is quite expensive. However, a good tandem will last for years and retain an attractive resale value so in the end you'll likely recover some of the cost. The iCandy doesn't have the same seating configurations as our other top picks. However, it's an ideal choice for families that don't want spend much money.
