Buying a Tandem Double Buggy

If you have twins or children very similar in age, a tandem double buggie is a great choice. They're a bit smaller than side-byside buggies, and ideal for maneuvering narrow spaces like entrances, on public transportation and on rough terrain.

Some convert into travel systems that take 2 carrycots or car seats. However, they are heavier and longer than single pushchairs and might feel less stable when in bumping up kerbs.

Convertible

If you're looking for a convertible stroller that converts from single to double or to add a second seat to an existing one, there's a variety of options available. The Vista V2 from UPPAbaby is large, gorgeous stroller that can easily be converted from a single stroller to double by incorporating the rumble seat (available separately). However, it's expensive and less maneuverable than other dual strollers because the 2nd seat is located to the left of the front seat. Nuna Demi Grow offers a similar option but lacks storage underneath the seat when used as a double stroller.

Other options include all-terrain twin strollers for newborns buggies, as well as fixed-wheel joggers which can be used to accommodate two children. These tend to be more expensive, but they're made for long trips over rough terrain, and may have a higher resale value.

Independent recline of the seat

If you want a double stroller that can accommodate children of different age groups, you'll require 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 sleeping in a bassinet and the reverse is true.

Think about the size of your twin pushchair from birth, as this will determine how easy it is for you to maneuver through doors and public transportation. If your doors are narrow, you may think about a side by side pushchair like the Mountain Buggy Duet. It has a footprint similar to a single stroller however can still fit two seats and car seat adaptors.

Tandem buggies are generally slightly longer than side-by-side models, and aren't as difficult to maneuver up and down kerbs, but they can accommodate a bigger range of seat/carrycot/car seat combinations making them a good option for twins or siblings of various age groups. They are also more expensive than single-to-double buggies, but are a good investment if you intend to keep it for years and will retain a decent amount of resale value if you decide to sell it off when your children are out of it.

Another important feature to look for is whether the seat backs are able to recline independently from one another because this allows you to put your child in the ideal position to nap or observe. This is particularly important if you have a young child in the rear seat, who will prefer to lay back and take a snooze while the older child would prefer to sit and observe their surroundings.

Certain brands have a distinctive design that allows the back of their vehicles to recline fully into a position that's nearly flat, which is ideal for newborns. For instance the iCandy Orange has raised stadium-style seating and can recline the toddler seat included and the add-on RumbleSeat into multiple positions so that your children have a the option of where they want they will sit, and also comes with an excellent UPF 50+ canopy that has windows that peek out.

More spacious than twin umbrella stroller buggies

They're typically a bit longer too with one seat placed behind the other and usually providing a flat recline for babies (or a more upright position for toddlers).

A popular option is the Mountain Buggy Duet, which is the tiniest side-by-side model available and has an identical footprint to one buggy. It features an adjustable handle that makes it easier for parents to push, and a handbrake, which is useful on steep hills.

Another alternative is the iCandy Wave, which has the convenience of a single click to fold and can be utilized in a duo or mono mode. The clever frame expands to accommodate a second chair and can be used to accommodate up to two car seats or carrycots. This makes it a fantastic choice for older siblings that would like to be seated together.

There are also a variety of 3-wheeler inline tandems that are 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 have limited space at home or you need to transport it from your car to the bus station.

It's important to keep in mind that a double-buggy with a wider width will feel heavier and bulkier than a single buggy that is smaller Make sure that it's what you need before you buy.

From birth

You'll need a stroller for the whole family, whether you're expecting twins, or you have another child after you've had your first. Double buggies are generally heavier, bulkier, and more expensive than single strollers. However they are much more maneuverable in tighter doorways, or around obstacles like curbs. Many double buggies are compatible with piggyback boards (available from the manufacturer or as an accessory). This allows you to transport three children at once.

Tandem pushchairs place one child in the front of the other, so they're usually a better option when you have two children that are close enough in age to be able to live well together. However, they're not 100% secure: Siblings in side-by-side seats may punch or kick each other, and children with different heights may 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 height from sitting on the bottom and not having any view.

The iCandy Wave is a good choice for parents looking for an adjustable cheap double stroller buggy that can be converted into a carrycot that is able to accommodate both infants and an older child. It has an innovative frame that expands in width when you add a second child seat. It also folds flat for storage that is compact. The padded seats are comfortable, the straps are easy to fasten, and the buckles are among the most comfortable we've seen on any of our tests.
