Which Double Tandem Pushchair is Best For Your Family?

There are many products that can make the life of parents with two children or twins easier. One of them is the double tandem pushchair.

From Phil & Teds, to Baby Jogger, most brands offer a double stroller as part of their product range. They are available as inline or side-by-side convertible models.

Stability

If you have twins or children who are close in age, a double tandem pushchair makes traveling with two children much more enjoyable and comfortable. There are so many styles and configurations out there it can be difficult to determine which one is best for your family. Some are better suited for jogging than others, or fit a third seat when you add on buggy boards. Which ones are most sturdy?

The CYBEX Gazelle is a great option for children who are the same age. They aren't easy to navigate through narrow doors or shopping aisles. In this situation, you may prefer an arena model, such as the Bugaboo Donkey, or Mountain Buggy Duet. These models allow your children to face you or the other according to their configuration.

Tandem models that place one behind the other are more manageable than side-by-side pushchairs. However, they are still not as stable as single strollers and car seats. They can be difficult to climb up curbs and may have less storage capacity than a side-byside pushchair.

You should try out the double with both seats seated, as that is how you'll be using it most. Test the ease with which it is to navigate and steer the vehicle, especially in tight turns or with the front wheels that rotate. It is also important to test the brakes, as they may be difficult to operate when both child seats are connected.

If you're looking to purchase a premium, affordable double stroller that does it all you need, then take a look at the Phil and Teds Sport Double. This stylish compact pushchair can be changed from a single to double pushchair model to tandem in a couple of simple steps. The carrycot and seat can be used either parent-facing or facing one another. Its air-filled tires as well as all-wheel suspension let it take on a variety of terrains. The seat has an excellent storage basket beneath the seat, however this is partially hidden by the second child's seat.

Comfort

There is a double stroller suitable for every family, whether you have twins, a toddler or a newborn. They can be used to transport two kids side-by-side, but many can be converted to a single pushchair (though this usually requires the removal of one seat). They tend to be wider than a single buggy, but they do offer flexibility and value for price.

In our most recent double pushchair reviews, we surveyed testers to score each model based on a variety of factors, including ride comfort, ease of handling and how well it folded. They also assessed the ease of putting in and taking out the car seat, as well as whether it could be used with baby carriers.

The Stroller & Co City Tour 2 Double is an excellent example of a flexible, comfortable and lightweight dual stroller. Our reviewers praised the generous UPF 50+ canopy, which provides real shade and includes an opening window for peekaboos, and both seats recline into multiple positions with just the press of one button. One seat can be made to lay flat so that the baby can sleep on the carrycot over it.

The reversible seat lining made of bamboo, which naturally antibacterial, on one side and soft Jersey on the other side is an fantastic feature. Our test subjects also appreciated the fact that it is able to fold it with one hand and that's a major advantage for parents with two small children to keep an eye on.

Side-by-side models are generally more expensive than tandem buggies, however they offer the most flexibility as they are usually designed to fit into narrow aisles and doors. They can be a burden to push and difficult to manoeuvre up kerbs, however, they do come with an front-loaded weight which helps keep the load in balance.

Flexibility

If you're looking for a way to keep your twins together or have a newborn and a toddler, a double tandem pushchair can be an invaluable addition to your family. It can keep your children happy by stopping them from arguing or waking one other up. This type of buggy is also great if you're planning to take it on public transport because it will be easier to fit into the space available.

Some models are extremely flexible that allow you to switch back to single mode when your child is ready to use a stroller. This allows you to save money on an entirely new stroller. The UPPAbaby double jogging stroller can accommodate two infant car seats at the back as well as a riding board which makes it ideal for three kids. It can even be used with a stroller seat and a rolling suitcase for parents and children, allowing you to travel light and still having everything your family requires.

The Joovy Caboose Ultralight Graphite double stroller is a different design than the competition but offers many of the same features that we have outlined in our top picks. We like the fact that it folds with hands and easily through doors, and also that the basket underneath is taller, making it easier to store your shopping in. The rear seat is covered, so your child will be protected in the winter.

A side-by-side pushchair is larger than a tandem, which makes it difficult to navigate walkways or narrow aisles in shops. It can be easier to maneuver on rocky terrain than a standard double pushchair. Some of these pushchairs could be difficult to steer through tight turns, especially in the case of a child who is heavier in the front seat.

An inline double pushchair on the other hand, is a better option for families with multiple children. It can usually be used as a twin pram if your children are younger, but can also convert to a tandem when they're older. Some of these models, like the iCandy Peach 3+, can accept two i-Size car seats, giving you the ultimate flexibility and value for money.

Stores

The most significant disadvantage of a double buggy could be that it takes up more space on public transport and is more difficult to maneuver through narrow doors or lifts. They are also more expensive and are more expensive for side-by-side models, especially those that have a second seat in the in front.

Some models can be converted from single pushchairs to tandem models like the Joolz Geo and the Uppababy Vista V2. This can be cost effective if you're planning on having another child at some point, and it extends the life of your buggy. It's not easy to convert it back into one seat once your older child has grown out of it.

Stadium Duo is a lightweight compact dual stroller that's ideal for urban adventures. It features a one-click, fold-in-one-hand and an automatic storage lock, plus it's compatible with 2 SnugEssentials or SnugRide i-Size infant car seats* to ensure seamless transitions. The elevated stadium-style seating provides the kids a stunning view of the world, and you can easily connect your infant car seat to the front or rear of the stroller in just one click. You can also pack everything you need for your day out in the large basket for shopping and the tray for parents. The suspension and swivel wheels offer smooth rides and more maneuverability. The 5-point safety belts that are fitted to both seats increase your child's safety.
