Looking For Inspiration Check Out Tandem Double Buggy

Buying a tandem double stroller Double Buggy

If you have twins or children very similar in age, a tandem double buggy is a fantastic option. They are narrower than side by side by side double stroller buggies, and are perfect for narrow spaces like doors, public transport, and rocky terrain.

Some can be converted into travel systems that take two carrycots or child car seats. However, they are heavier and longer than single pushchairs, and might feel less stable when in bumping up the kerbs.

Convertible

There are many options for adding a second seat or changing a single stroller into a double. The UPPAbaby Vista V2 is a big, beautiful stroller that can easily be converted from a single model to double by adding the rumble seat (available separately). However, it's expensive and less mobile than other double strollers because the 2nd seat is placed to the left of the front seat. Nuna Demi Grow is a similar model however, it doesn't have storage underneath the seat when it is used as a double stroller.

Other options include all-terrain twin buggies, as well as fixed-wheel joggers which can be used to accommodate two children. They are more expensive but they are designed to last longer on rough terrain and have higher resale prices.

Reclining the seat independently

If you want a double stroller which can accommodate children of different age groups, you'll need one with an independent recliner for both seats. This allows your child of a higher age to sit back and relax while the baby is in the bassinet, and reverse.

Consider the width of your stroller and consider the ease of you to navigate through doors and public transportation. If you have narrow doorways then it might be worth considering a side by side double stroller-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 take 2 seats and car seat adaptors.

Tandem buggies are generally a little longer than side-by-side models and therefore aren't easy to manoeuvre through kerbs and up and down, however, they can accommodate a wider range of seat/carrycot/car seat combinations making them a good option for twins or siblings of different ages. These buggies are also more expensive than single-to-double buggies, but they're worth the cost if you plan to keep it for a number of years. They'll also keep some value if sold when your children have outgrown it.

Another thing to look out for is if the seat backs can recline independently of each other since this will allow you to place your child in the ideal position for napping or observation. This is crucial when your child is in the back seat and would like to take a nap while the child in the front prefers to sit up and observe the surrounding.

Certain brands come with an exclusive seat design 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 multiple positions. It also comes with a UPF 50+ canopy and peekaboo windows.

More spacious than twin stroller side by side; fakenews.Win, buggies

There's no need to have twins in order to benefit from a larger 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 typically a little larger with one seat placed behind the other and with a fully-flat recline option for infants (or a more upright position for toddlers).

A popular choice is the Mountain Buggy Duet, which has the slimmest side-byside design available and features the same footprint as a single buggy. It also features an adjustable handle, which makes it easier for parents of various heights to push as well as a handbrake that is useful when tackling steep hills. It is suitable for use right from birth, and it can be combined with a variety of car seats and carrycots.

The iCandy Wave is another option. It can be folded in either mono or duo mode in a single click. Its clever frame expands to accommodate a second chair and can be used up to two car seats or carrycots. This makes it an ideal option for older siblings who wish to sit together. It's slightly longer than some other models but still feels light to steer and has soft suspension that can handle 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 they offer stability and swift steering. They are often folded into the size of one buggy which is useful when you have trouble storing it at home or have to transport it into and out of the boot when you travel on public transport.

It's important to remember that a stokke double stroller-buggy with a wider width will be heavier and bulkier than a compact single buggy, so make sure it's what you require before you buy. You'll be taking it off and on subways, buses, and trains regularly so it needs to be simple to use and manage. You might need to manage the car seat in and out when you take your child to school or the nursery.

From birth, you're a suitable candidate

You'll need a stroller for your entire family, whether you're expecting twins, or you have another child after you've had your first. Double buggies tend to be heavier, bulkier, and more expensive than single strollers. However they are also more maneuverable in narrower doors, or around obstacles like curbs. They are also compatible with piggyback ride-along boards (either from the manufacturer or through a separate accessory purchase) to allow you to transport three children at the same time.

Tandem pushchairs put one child ahead of the other. They're a great option for children who are of similar ages and get along well. But they're not foolproof Side-by-side chairs can kick or punch each other, and kids on different heights can squabble over who sits higher. This issue can be addressed by a tandem high-low design that elevates the seat at the rear. Your older child will not be sitting at the lower part of the car, and won't have much of an eye.

The iCandy Wave is a good option for parents who are looking for a convertible double buggy with a carrycot that can accommodate both the newborn and the older child. It has an innovative frame that expands in width when you add a second child seat. It can also fold flat to make it a compact storage. The cushioned seats, straps and buckles are all of the best travel double stroller quality we have seen in our tests. Both seats can recline independently, and the canopies are spacious and large with UPF 50+ protection as well as peekaboo windows.

The only drawback of the iCandy is that it's expensive, but a quality tandem will last for a long time and retain its resale value. So you'll probably get back some of the cost over the long term. The iCandy does not have the same seating options as our other top selections. However, it's an excellent choice for families that don't want spend a lot of cash.
