20 Reasons To Believe Tandem Double Buggy Cannot Be Forgotten

Buying a Tandem Double Buggy

A tandem Double Pram Stroller buggy could be a great choice if you have twins, or children who are very close in age. They are a bit smaller than side-by-side buggies and are great for narrow spaces like doors, public transport, and rocky terrain.

Some can be converted to travel systems that can take two carrycots or child car seats. They are often heavier, longer and less stable than a single pushchair.

Convertible

There are many options for adding a second seating or changing a single stroller into a double. The UPPAbaby is a large, beautiful stroller. It can easily be changed from a single to a dual by adding an rumble seat. However, it's pricey and less maneuverable than other dual strollers since the second seat is located behind the front seat. The Nuna Demi Grow is a comparable model with great seating flexibility, however it isn't equipped with 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. These tend to be more expensive but they're designed 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 various ages, you'll need a buggy that has an recline independent for both seats. This allows your child of a higher age to rest while the baby is in the bassinet and reverse.

Consider the width of your pushchair and consider the ease of you to navigate through doors and on public transport. If your doors are narrow, you may want to consider a side-by-side pushchair like the Mountain Buggy Duet. It has a footprint that is similar to a single stroller, but it can accommodate two seats and car seat adaptors.

Tandem buggies are generally smaller than side-byside models, and aren't as easily maneuverable through kerbs and up and down, however they can be able to accommodate a wider range of car seat/car seat combinations, making them a good option for twins or siblings of different age groups. They also tend to be more expensive than single-to-double buggies but are a worthwhile investment if you intend to keep it for many years and have a good amount of resale value should you sell it on when your children have grown out of it.

This feature will allow you to place your child in the most compact double stroller comfortable position for naps and observation. This is crucial for children who are in the back seat and wishes to take a nap while the child in the front prefers to sit up and observe the surrounding.

A few brands have a unique design for their seats that allows the back seat to fully recline into a nearly flat position that is perfect for newborns. The iCandy Orange, for example has a stadium-style seating option that can be reclined to several positions. It also has UPF 50+ sun protection and windows that peek out.

Larger than twin pushchair from birth buggies

There's no need to have twins in order to benefit from a larger double buggy. They're perfect for siblings of various age groups and let you get around without having to worry about your children touching. They're typically a little larger with one seat positioned behind the other and usually offering a fully-flat recline for babies (or an upright position for toddlers).

A popular choice is the Mountain Buggy Duet, which is the tiniest side-by-side model available and features an identical footprint to a single buggy. It also has an adjustable handle, which makes it easier for parents of different heights to push as well as an adjustable handbrake, which can be useful when you have to climb steep hills. It is suitable from birth and is compatible with a range of car seats and carrycots, meaning it is a great travel system.

Another option is the iCandy Wave, which has an easy one-click fold and can be used in mono or duo mode. Its innovative frame expands widthways to allow for a second seat and can be used with two carrycots or car seats which makes it an ideal option for older siblings who want to sit in a group and share the view. It's a bit longer than other models, yet it's light to steer and has soft suspension to tackle the kerbs.

There are also a variety of 3-wheeler tandems inline available Check out Phil and Teds' inline models or iCandy's Peach and Pear buggies for instance - which provide stability and quick steering. These can often be folded into a single buggy if you are limited in space at home, or need to carry it from the car to the bus stop.

Be aware that a double car seat stroller wide buggy is heavier and more bulkier than one compact buggy. Be sure to know what you want prior to making a buy. You'll have to get it on and off trains, buses and subways regularly so it needs to be easy to operate and manage. You might also have to juggle it on and off the car seat when you take your children to school or nursery so you'll need to ensure it can be easily manoeuvred within small spaces.

Suitable from birth

If you're expecting twins or have a second child after your first, you're going need to find a stroller that can accommodate the whole family. Double buggies are generally heavier and bulkier as well as more expensive than single strollers. However they are much more maneuverable in narrower doorways or around obstacles such as curbs. They are also compatible with piggyback ride-along boards (either from the manufacturer or through an accessory purchase) which means you can carry three children at a time.

Tandem pushchairs place one child in front the other. They are a good option for children who are of similar ages and are able to get along. They're not 100% secure. Siblings who are sitting side-by-side could kick or punch each other and children of different heights could argue over who sits higher. A tandem high-low model can solve this issue by elevating the seat to the rear, preventing your child's older one from sitting on the bottom and not getting the best view.

The iCandy Wave is a great alternative for parents who want an easy-to-use double buggy that converts to fit a newborn into a carrycot, and an older child in the main seat. It features a clever frame that expands in width when you add the second seat. It folds flat for compact storage. The cushioned seats are comfortable, the straps are easy to fasten, and the buckles are among the best we've seen on any of our tests. The canopies have a generous size and UPF 50+ protection, and the window is peekaboo. Both seats can be reclined independently.

The only drawback to the iCandy tandem is that it's a bit costly. However, a quality tandem will last you for years and retain a high resale price, which means that in the end you'll likely recover a portion of the cost. The iCandy doesn't have the same seating configurations as our other top selections. However, it's an excellent choice for families who don't want to spend much cash.
