Buying a Tandem Double Buggy

If you have twins or children very similar in age, a tandem double buggie is a great choice. They are a bit smaller than side-by-side buggies and are perfect for narrow spaces like doors, public transport, and rough terrain.

Many also convert into travel systems to use two carrycots or car seats. They are typically heavier, longer and less stable than a single pushchair.

Convertible

Whether you're looking for a convertible stroller that can be converted from a single to a double or to add a second seat to an existing one, there are several options available. The UPPAbaby V2 is a large, beautiful stroller. It can be easily transformed from a single stroller to a double by adding the rumble seat. However, it's pricey and less mobile than other double strollers due to the fact that the second seat goes to the left of the front seat. The Nuna Demi Grow is a similar model with great seating flexibility, however it lacks under-seat storage when used in doubles mode.

Other alternatives include twin buggy buggies with all terrain double buggy-terrain wheels and joggers with fixed wheels that can hold two kids. These tend to be more expensive, however they're designed to last longer on rough terrain and can have a higher resale value.

Reclining the seat independently

If you need a double buggy that can transport children of different ages, you'll need a buggy that has an independent seat recline for both seats. This will allow your older child to be able to relax while your baby is in a bassinet, and reverse.

You'll also have to think about the size of the pushchair, as this will affect how easy it is to get through doors and on public transportation. If you have extremely narrow doors, it may be a good idea to consider a side-byside pushchair, such as the Mountain Buggy Duet which has the advantage of having a footprint similar to a single to double buggy buggy, however it can take 2 seats and car seat adaptors.

Tandem buggies are typically larger than side-by-side models, making them more difficult to maneuver around and down kerbs. However they can also accommodate a wider range of combinations of car seats, carrycots and seats and are an excellent choice for twins and siblings of various age. These buggies are also more expensive than single buggies to double, but they're worth the cost if you plan on keeping it for many years. They will also retain a good amount of value when sold once your children have outgrown it.

Another crucial thing to look out for is if the seat backs are able to recline independently of each other as this will let you place your child in the most optimal position for naps or watching. This is especially important if you have a young child in the rear seat who will prefer to lay back and take a snooze while the more mature child wants to sit up and look around their surroundings.

Certain brands come with a unique design for their seats that allows the back seat to fully recline into a nearly flat position, which is ideal for babies. The iCandy Orange, for example, has stadium-style seating that can be reclined to various positions. It also comes with UPF 50+ canopy and windows that peek out.

Wider than twin strollers for newborns (special info) buggies

You don't need to have twins in order to benefit from a bigger double buggy. They're great for siblings of various ages and allow you to get around without having to worry about your children touching. They're typically a bit larger with one seat positioned behind the other and with a fully-flat recline option for babies (or an upright position for toddlers).

Mountain Buggy Duet is a popular option. It is the tiniest design of the two-in-ones on the market and a footprint like the footprint of a single stroller. It also comes with an adjustable handle, which makes it easy for parents of different heights to push, and an adjustable handbrake, which is useful when tackling steep hills. It is suitable for use right from birth, and it can be combined with a wide range of car seats and carrycots.

Another alternative is the iCandy Wave, which has an easy one-click fold and is able to be used in duo or mono mode. The clever frame expands in width to accommodate a second chair and can be used with up to two car seats or carrycots. This makes it an ideal option for older siblings who want to be seated together. It's a little longer than other models, yet it's light to steer and comes with soft suspension that can handle kerbs.

There are a variety of 3-wheeler tandems that have inline wheels that provide stability and fast steering. Take a look at Phil and Teds inline models, or iCandy Peach and Pear buggies. Most of them can be folded down to size one buggy which is useful for those who struggle with storage at home or frequently need to lug it in and out of your car on public transport.

It's important to remember that a large double tandem pushchair buggy will feel bulkier and heavier than a smaller single buggy Make sure that it's what you need before you buy. It is likely to be utilized on buses, trains and subways frequently, so it should be easy to use and manage. You might also have to juggle it on and off the car seat while taking your children to nursery or school so you'll need to know it's easy to maneuver in small spaces.

From birth, you're an ideal candidate

If you're expecting twins, or you have a child following your first, you're likely to need to find a pushchair that fits the entire family. 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 can be used with piggyback boards (available from the manufacturer or as an add-on). This allows you to transport three children simultaneously.

Tandem pushchairs place one child ahead of the other. They're a good choice if your children are of similar ages and are able to get along. But they're not completely safe Side-by-side chairs can kick or punch each other, and kids with different heights may argue over who should sit higher. A tandem high-low model is able to solve this problem by elevating the seat towards the rear, preventing your child's older one from sitting on the bottom and not getting much of a view.

The iCandy Wave is a great choice for parents looking for an easy-to-use double buggy that converts to accommodate a newborn in a carrycot and an older child in the main seat. It features a smart frame that expands widthways when you add a second seat. It folds to flattish storage. The seats are cushioned and comfortable, the straps are simple 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, as well as a peekaboo window. Both seats are reclined independently.

The only drawback to the iCandy tandem is that it's quite expensive. However, a quality tandem will last you for years and retain the highest resale value, which means that in the end, you'll likely recoup some of the cost. It doesn't have the same selection of seating configurations that some of our other top picks however, the iCandy is a good choice for families that don't want to spend a lot.
