The 10 Most Terrifying Things About Double Tandem Pushchair

Which Double Tandem Pushchair is Best For Your Family?

If you're planning for twins or a new child there are plenty of products to make life with children moving around easier. One of them is the double tandem pushchair.

From Phil & Teds, to Baby Jogger, most brands offer a double stroller in their range of products. They are available in line or side-by-side convertible models.

Stability

If you have twins or children of similar age, a double tandem pushchair makes travelling with two of them much easier and more comfortable. There are numerous styles and configurations that it is difficult to choose the right one for your family. Some are better suited for jogging, while others can accommodate a third child by adding buggyboards. Which ones are most solid?

Side-by-side pushchairs (like the CYBEX Gazelle S) are great for transporting children who are the same age. However, they can be tricky to maneuver around narrow entrances and shopping aisles. In this case you may be better off with an arena model, such as the Bugaboo Donkey, or Mountain Buggy Duet. These models allow your children to either face you or another depending on their configuration.

Tandem models that place one behind the other are more manageable than side-byside pushchairs, however they are still not as sturdy as single to double pushchair strollers or car seats. They aren't easy to lift up curbs and they may have less storage space than a side by side pushchair.

You should try out the double buggy newborn with both seats in place, as that is how you'll use it the most. It is important to test the ease with which you can navigate and steer, particularly in tight corners or with the front wheels that swivel. It is also important to test the brakes, as they can be difficult to use when both child seats are connected.

If you're looking to purchase a premium, affordable double stroller that can do it all look no further than the Phil and Teds Sport Double. This stylish and compact stroller can be converted from a single to tandem in a few simple steps. The carrycot and seat can be used as a parent-facing or facing one another. Its air-filled tires and all terrain double stroller-wheel suspension let it conquer different terrains. It has a handy underseat storage basket, but access to it is blocked when the second seat is in place.

Comfort

Whether you have twins or a newborn and toddler there is a double pushchair that will fit your family. Generally, they can transport two children side-by-side but some can transform into single pushchairs (although this will often involve removing one seat). They tend to be wider than a single pushchair, but they do offer flexibility and value for price.

In our most recent double running stroller stroller reviews, sought feedback from testers on a variety of factors such as ride comfort, handling ease and how well the pushchair folded. They also evaluated the ease of taking out and putting in the car seat, and whether or not it could be used with the baby carrier.

The Stroller & Co City Tour 2 Double stroller is a fantastic example of a lightweight and comfortable dual stroller. The reviewers who reviewed it praised its large UPF 50+ canopy, which offers real shade and the ability to peek at. Both seats can be reclined into various positions by pressing the button. One seat can be made to lie flat, meaning a newborn can sleep comfortably in the carrycot attached above it.

Other fantastic features of this pushchair are the padded handlebar, cup holder and pouch, the easy-to-use braking system, and the reversible seat liner made of bamboo that is naturally anti-bacterial on one side and soft jersey on the other. Our test subjects also appreciated the fact that you can fold it in one hand and that's a major plus when you have two small children to watch.

Side-by-side models tend to be more expensive than tandem buggies, but they can offer maximum flexibility as they are usually designed to fit in narrow aisles and doors. They can be difficult to move up kerbs, and are heavy to push, but they have a front-loaded load that helps to distribute the weight.

Flexibility

If you're looking to keep your twins in close proximity or have a baby and toddler, a double tandem pushchair can be a valuable addition to your family. It will help you avoid the annoyance of children who wake each other or fighting while on the move, and keep them both happy. This type of buggy may also be a great option for those who plan to take it on public transport as it is easier to fit into the space available.

Some models can offer an extreme degree of flexibility, including the ability to switch to single mode once your baby is ready to use strollers, without having to purchase a new one. The UPPAbaby V2 Double is able to fit two infant car seats in the back, as well as a ridingboard, making it perfect for three children. It can be used with a stroller seat and a roll-away suitcase for parents which allows you to travel light but still taking everything your family requires.

The Joovy Caboose Ultralight Graphite is a distinct style of double stroller from the rest, yet it has the same features you'll find in our top selections. We like how it folds with a hand and fits easily through doors, and that the undercarriage basket is taller, making it easier to drop on shopping. The rear seat is also protected, so your child will be warm in the winter.

A tandem is more narrow than a side-byside, making it difficult to navigate narrow aisles in shops or busy paths. However, it can be easier to manoeuvre on rocky terrain than a standard pushchair. Some of these prams may be difficult to steer during tight turns, particularly in the case of a child who is heavier in the front seat.

A double-inline pushchair is the best option for families with multiple children. It can usually be used as a tandem pram when your children are younger however, it can also be converted into a tandem once they're older. Some of these models, such as the iCandy Peach 3+, can accommodate two i-Size car seats, giving you ultimate flexibility and price-for-value.

Storage

The biggest disadvantage of a double buggy may be that it takes up more room on public transport and is more difficult to maneuver through narrow doors or lifts. They also cost more, particularly side-by-side models with a second seat up front.

Certain models can be converted from a single pushchair to tandem such as the Joolz Geo and the Uppababy Vista V2. This is a great option in the event that you're planning to have another child in the near future and also extends the life of your buggy. However, it's difficult to convert back to a single to double stroller when your child is older and outgrows it.
