10 Places Where You Can Find Tandem Double Buggy

Buying a Tandem Double Buggy

If you have twins or children very close in age, a tandem double buggie is a great option. They are narrower than side-by-side buggies and are great for small spaces such as doors, public transport and terrain that is rocky.

Some can be converted to travel systems that take two carrycots or child car seats. However, they can be heavier and longer than single pushchairs and may not be as stable when in bumping up kerbs.

Convertible

There are a variety of options for adding a second seating or making a single stroller double pushchair from birth. The UPPAbaby V2 is large, beautiful stroller. It can be easily changed from a single to a dual by adding the seating area with a rumble. It is more expensive and less maneuverable because the second seat is located behind the first seat. The Nuna Demi Grow is a similar option with a wide range of seating options, but does not have storage under the seat when used in doubles mode.

Other alternatives include all-terrain twin buggies, as well as fixed-wheel joggers that can accommodate two children. They tend to be more expensive, but they're made for long-distance trips over rough terrain, and may have more resale value.

Independent seat recline

If you're looking for a double stroller that will accommodate children of different age groups, you'll need one with a recliner that is independent for both seats. This allows your child of a higher age to be able to relax while your baby is in a bassinet, and reverse.

Consider the width of your stroller, as this will determine how easy it is for you to navigate through doors and public transportation. If you have narrow doors, it may be worthwhile to consider a side-by-side pushchair, such as the Mountain Buggy Duet which has the benefit of having a footprint that is similar to a single buggy, but can still accommodate two seats and car seat adaptors.

Tandem buggies are generally slightly longer than side-by-side models, and aren't as difficult to maneuver through kerbs and up and down, but they can accommodate a bigger range of seat/carrycot/car seat combinations and are a great option for twins or siblings of various age groups. They can also be more expensive than single-to-Double Pram With Reversible Seats buggies, but are worth the investment if you plan to keep it for many years and will have a decent amount of resale value in the event that you sell it on when your children are out of it.

This feature allows you to put your child in the most comfortable position for naps or observation. This is particularly important if you have a younger child in the rear seat who will be inclined to lie down and relax while the older child wants to sit up and observe their surroundings.

A few brands have a unique design for their seats that allows the back seat to completely recline into a nearly flat position that is perfect for infants. The iCandy Orange, for example has a stadium-style seating option that can be reclined in various positions. It also offers a UPF 50+ canopy and peekaboo windows.

Wider than twin buggies

They are great for siblings with different age groups, and they allow you to get around without worrying about your children touching. They're typically a bit longer too with one seat positioned behind the other, and typically providing a flat recline for newborns (or a more upright position for toddlers).

Mountain Buggy Duet is a popular choice. It is the slimmest design of the two-in-ones on the market and a footprint like a single stroller. It comes with an adjustable handle that makes it easier for parents to push and a handbrake which is useful on steep hills. It is suitable 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 folds in either mono or duo mode in a single click. Its clever frame expands to accommodate an additional chair and can be used up to two car seats or carrycots. This makes it a fantastic option for older siblings who wish to be seated together. It's a bit longer than other models but still feels easy to steer and has soft suspension that is able to handle kerbs.

There are also plenty of 3-wheeler inline tandems that are available - check out Phil and Teds inline models or iCandy's Peach and Pear buggies, for instance that provide stability and quick steering. They are often folded down to size a single buggy, which is helpful if you struggle with storage at home or frequently need to transport it into and out of the car when using public transportation.

It's worth bearing in mind that a compact double stroller-buggy with a wider width will be heavier and bulkier than a smaller single buggy Make sure that it's what you need before purchasing. It will be used on buses, trains and subways frequently, therefore it must be simple to use and manage. You might need to manage the car seat when taking your child to school or nursery.

From birth

You'll need a stroller for your entire family regardless of whether you're expecting twins or you have another child after having your first. double pushchair buggies are typically slightly heavier, bulkier and cost more than single strollers double. However, they are also easier to manoeuvre through narrower doors or around obstacles such as curbs. Many double buggies can be used with piggyback boards (available from the manufacturer or as an accessory). This allows you to transport three children simultaneously.

Tandem pushchairs place one child in front of the other, so they're often a better choice for families with two children who are similar in age to be able to live well. But they're not foolproof Siblings in a side-by-side seat could kick or punch one another, and children who are different heights can argue over who sits higher. A tandem high-low model could solve this issue by elevating the seat towards the rear, which will prevent your child's older one from sitting on the bottom and not getting any view.

The iCandy Wave is a good choice for parents looking for a convertible double buggy with a carrycot that can accommodate both a newborn and an older child. It features a smart frame that expands in width when you add the second seat, and folds to flattish storage. The padded straps, buckles, and seats are all of the highest quality we have encountered in our testing. You can recline both seats independently and the canopy is large and generous with UPF 50+ protection and windows that peek out.

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