You ll Never Guess This Tandem Double Buggy s Secrets

Buying a Tandem Double Buggy

A tandem double buggy can be a great option for twins or children who are very close in age. They're narrower than side-by-side buggies, and ideal for maneuvering tight spaces such as doors, on public transport and rocky terrain.

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

Convertible

If you're looking for convertible single-to-double stroller or want to add another seat to an existing one, there are a variety of options available. The Vista V2 from UPPAbaby is a large, gorgeous stroller that converts easily from a single stroller to double by adding the rumble seating (available separately). It's costly and less mobile than other double strollers since the second seat is located in front of the front seat. Nuna Demi Grow provides a similar choice but lacks storage underneath the seat when used as a double push chair stroller.

Other options include all-terrain twin buggies, as well as fixed-wheel joggers that can hold two children. These are more expensive, however, they are designed for long trips on rough terrain and have a higher resale price.

Reclining the seat independently

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

It is also important to think about the size of the stroller as this will impact how easy it is to get through doors and on public transport. If your doors are narrow, you may be considering a side-by-side pushchair such as the Mountain Buggy Duet. It has a footprint similar to a single stroller but can still fit two seats and car seat adaptors.

Tandem buggies are usually 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 bigger range of car/car/seat combinations, making them a good option for twins or siblings of different age. They can also be more expensive than single-to-double buggies, but are worth the investment if you plan to keep it for many years and will retain a decent amount of resale value if you sell it on when your children are out of it.

This feature will allow you to put your child in an ideal position for naps or to observe. This is essential for children who are 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 a unique design for their seats that allows the back seat to fully recline into an almost flat position, which is ideal for infants. The iCandy Orange, for example is a stadium-style seat that can be reclined in several positions. It also has a UPF 50+ canopy and peekaboo windows.

Larger than twin pushchair buggies

They are great for siblings with different age groups, and you can move around without worrying about your children touching. They're typically a little longer too with one seat placed behind the other and usually offering a fully-flat recline for newborns (or a more upright position for toddlers).

Mountain Buggy Duet is a popular option. It has the slimmest design that is side-by-side, and a footprint that is comparable to one stroller. It comes with an adjustable handle that makes it easier for parents to push, and a handbrake that can be useful on hills that are steep. It is suitable for use from birth, and can be used with a range of car seats and carrycots.

The iCandy Wave is another option. It can be folded in duo or mono mode with just a single click. Its clever frame expands widthways to accommodate a second chair and can be used with two car seats or carrycots so it's an excellent option for older siblings that want to sit together and enjoy the view. 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 plenty of 3-wheeler tandems with inline wheels that offer stability and quick steering. Take a look at Phil and Teds inline models, or iCandy Peach and Pear buggies. They are often folded into the size of a single buggy which is useful for those who struggle with storage at home or frequently need to transport it into and out of the boot when you travel on public transport.

It's worth bearing in mind that a double-buggy with a wider width will feel bulkier and heavier than a smaller single buggy So make sure it's what you require before you purchase. It is likely to 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 in and out while taking your child to school or the nursery.

Suitable from birth

You'll need a pushchair for your entire family, whether you're expecting twins, or if you have a child after you've had your first. nipper double buggy buggies are typically heavier, bulkier, and more expensive than single strollers. However, they are more maneuverable in tighter doors or around obstacles such as curbs. Many double buggies can be used with piggyback boards (available from the manufacturer or as an add-on). This allows you to carry three children at once.

Tandem pushchairs put one child in front of the other, so they're often a better choice for families with two children that are close enough in age to function well together. They're not completely safe. Siblings who are sitting side-by-side could punch or kick each other, and children of different heights may fight over who sits higher. A tandem high-low model is able to solve this problem by elevating the seat towards the rear, preventing your older child 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 convertible double buggy that can accommodate a newborn in a carrycot, and an older child in the main seat. It features a clever frame which can be expanded in size when you add the second child seat. It also folds flat to make it a compact double stroller storage. The padded seats are comfortable, the straps are simple to fasten and the buckles are among the most comfortable we've seen on any of our tests. The canopies are large in size and UPF 50+ protection, and peekaboo window. Both seats can be reclined independently.

The only downside to the iCandy tandem is that it is a bit expensive. But a high-quality tandem will last for years and retain an attractive resale value which means that in the end you'll likely recover some of the cost. It doesn't come with the same selection of seating options as others of our top picks, but the iCandy is a good choice for families who don't wish to spend a lot.
