Buying a Tandem Double Buggy

A tandem double buggy could be a great choice when you have twins or children who are very close in age. They are narrower than side by side buggies, and are perfect for narrow spaces like doors, public transport and terrain that is rocky.

Some can be converted to travel systems that can take two carrycots or child car seats. However, they are heavier and longer than single pushchairs, and may not be as stable when in bumping up the kerbs.

Convertible

Whether you're looking for a convertible single-to-double stroller or want to add an additional seat to an existing one, there's several options available. The Vista V2 from UPPAbaby is a spacious, gorgeous stroller that easily converts from a single to double pushchair (click the next website) to a double by adding the rumble seat (available separately). It's costly and less maneuverable than other dual strollers since the second seat goes behind the front seat. Nuna Demi Grow is a similar model but lacks storage underneath the seat when it is used as a double stroller.

Other options include twin buggies that have all-terrain wheels, and joggers with fixed wheels that can be used to carry two children. They are more expensive but they are made for long trips on rough terrain and have higher resale prices.

Independent seat recline

If you are looking for a double stroller which can accommodate children of various age groups, you'll require one with an independent recliner for both seats. This will allow your child's older to relax in the back while the baby is in the bassinet and reverse.

It is also important to consider the width of the pushchair as this will impact the ease of traverse doors and public transportation. If your doors are narrow, you may be considering a side by side pushchair like the Mountain Buggy Duet. It has a footprint 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 so aren't as easily maneuverable through kerbs and up and down, however, they can accommodate a wider range of seat/carrycot/car seat combinations and are a great option for twins or siblings of different age groups. These buggies are also more expensive than single buggies to double however they're worth it if you plan to keep it for a number of years. They'll also keep a good amount of value when sold once your kids have outgrown the buggie.

This feature allows you to place your child in the most comfortable position for naps or observation. This is crucial if your child is in the back seat and wishes to rest while the child in the front prefers to sit up and observe the surroundings.

Certain brands come with a unique seat design which 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 into various positions. It also offers UPF 50+ sun protection and windows that peek out.

Larger than twin buggies

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

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

Another option is the iCandy Wave, which has an easy one-click fold and can be utilized in a duo or mono mode. Its clever frame can be expanded widthwise to accommodate a second chair and can be used with up to two car seats or carrycots which makes it an ideal option for older siblings who wish to sit together and share 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 the kerbs.

There are plenty of 3-wheeler tandems with inline tires that offer stability and swift steering. Check out Phil and Teds inline models or iCandy Peach and Pear buggies. Often these can be folded down to the size of one buggie, which is helpful for those who struggle with storage at home or need to lug it in and out of your car when you travel on public transportation.

It's important to keep in mind that a double-buggy with a wider width will be heavier and bulkier than a single buggy that is smaller Make sure that you're getting what you need before you buy. It is likely to be used on buses, trains and subways frequently, so it should be easy to operate and use. You may also need to move it on and off the car seat when you take your children to school or nursery so you'll need to ensure it's easy to maneuver in tight spaces.

The best time to start is when you are born.

You'll need a pushchair for your entire family regardless of whether you're expecting twins or you have a second child after you've had your first. Double buggies tend to be heavier and bulkier, as well as more expensive than single strollers. However they are much easier to maneuver in tighter doors, or around obstacles like curbs. Many double buggies work with piggyback boards (available from the manufacturer or as an accessory). This allows you to transport three children at the same time.

Tandem pushchairs put one child ahead of the other. They're a great choice if your children are of similar ages and are able to get along. They're not completely safe. Siblings who are sitting side-by-side could kick or punch each other and children with different heights could argue over who sits taller. This issue can be addressed by a tandem high-low model that elevates the seat to the rear. Your child's older one will not be sitting at the lowest part of the car and won't have much of an eye.

The iCandy Wave is a great option for parents looking for an easy-to-use convertible double buggy that can fit both a newborn in a carrycot and an older child in the main seat. It features an intelligent frame that can be expanded in size when you add a second child seat. It can also fold flat to make it a compact twin stroller storage. The seats are cushioned and comfortable, the straps easy to fasten, and the buckles are among the best we've seen on any of our tests. The canopies have a generous size, UPF 50+ protection, and the window is peekaboo. Both seats are reclined independently.

The only drawback to the iCandy tandem is that it is a bit costly. However, a quality tandem will last you for many years and have a high resale price, which means that in the end you'll probably recoup some of the cost. The iCandy does not have the same seating configurations as our other top choices. It's nevertheless an excellent choice for families that don't want spend much cash.
