You ll Never Guess This Tandem Double Buggy s Tricks

Buying a Tandem Double Buggy

A tandem double buggy can be a great option for twins or children who are very close in age. They're narrower than side-by-side buggies and are ideal for maneuvering narrow spaces like entrances, on public transportation and rocky terrain.

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 in bumping up the kerbs.

Convertible

If you're looking for convertible single-to-double buggy converts to single stroller or want to add a second seat to an existing one, there's many options to choose from. The Vista V2 from UPPAbaby is spacious, gorgeous stroller that converts easily from a single stroller to double by adding the rumble seat (available separately). It's costly and less mobile than other double strollers due to the fact that the second seat is located to the left of the front seat. The Nuna Demi Grow is a similar model with a wide range of seating options, but isn't equipped with storage under the seat when used in doubles mode.

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

Reclining the seat independently

If you're looking for a double buggy that is able to carry children of different ages then you're going to want one that has independent seat recline for both seats. This allows your older child to relax while the baby is sleeping in a bassinet, and the reverse is true.

It is also important to consider the width of the pushchair as this will affect the ease of get through doors and on public transportation. If you have narrow doors, it could be worth considering a side-by-side pushchair like 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 generally are slightly longer than side-by-side models and so aren't as easily maneuverable up and down kerbs, however they can be able to accommodate a wider range of seat/carrycot/car seat combinations making them a good option for twins or siblings of various age. They are also more expensive than single-to-double buggies but are worth the investment if you intend to keep it for many years and have a good amount of resale value if you sell it on when your children have grown out of it.

Another important feature to look for is whether the backs of the seats can recline independently of each other as this will let you put your child in the ideal position for naps or watching. This is important for children who are in the back seat and would like to rest while the older child prefers to sit up to observe the surroundings.

Some brands have a unique design that allows the back seat of their vehicles to fully recline to a position that is almost flat, perfect for babies. The iCandy Orange, for example, has stadium-style seating that can be reclined into multiple positions. It also has a UPF 50+ canopy and peekaboo windows.

More spacious than twin buggies

You don't need to have twins in order to benefit from a wider double buggy - they're ideal for siblings of various age groups and let you move around without having to worry about your children touching. They're usually a bit larger with one seat positioned behind the other, and typically offering a fully-flat recline for newborns (or an upright position for toddlers).

Mountain Buggy Duet is a popular choice. It is the tiniest design of the two-in-ones on the market and a footprint similar to the footprint of a single stroller. It has an adjustable handle that makes it easier for parents to push and a handbrake which is helpful 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 duo or mono mode in a single click. The clever frame can be expanded to accommodate the second chair and can be used up to two car seats or carrycots. This makes it an ideal choice for older siblings that want to sit together. It's a little longer than other models, yet it's light to steer and comes with soft suspension to tackle kerbs.

It is likely to be used on trains, buses, and subways frequently so it must be easy to use and manage. It is possible that you will need to move the car seat when taking your child to school or the nursery.

From birth

If you're expecting twins, or have a second child after your first, you're going to need to find a pushchair that fits the whole family. Double buggies tend to be slightly heavier, bulkier and more expensive than single strollers, however they are also more maneuverable in narrower doorways or around obstacles such as curbs. Many are also compatible with piggyback ride-along boards (either from the manufacturer or via an additional accessory purchase) to allow you to transport three children at a time.

Tandem pushchairs seat one child in front of the other, so they're usually a better option for families with two children who are similar in age to get along well together. But they're not completely safe Side-by-side chairs can kick or punch one another, and children with different heights may argue over who sits higher. This problem can be solved by a tandem high-low design that elevates the seat at the rear. Your older child will not be sitting at the lowest part of the car and won't have much of an eye.

The iCandy Wave is a good alternative for parents looking for a convertible double buggy that includes a carrycot that can accommodate both infants and an older child.

You can recline both seats independently and the canopies are spacious and large with UPF 50+ protection as well as peekaboo windows.

The only drawback to the iCandy tandem is that it's a bit expensive. But a high-quality tandem will last for a long time and will have a high resale price, so at the end of the day you'll probably recoup some of the cost. The iCandy doesn't have the same seating configurations as our other top picks. However, it's an excellent choice for families who don't want to spend much cash.
