Buying a Tandem Double Buggy

A tandem double buggy can be a great option if you have twins, or children who are close in age. They are smaller than side by side buggies and are perfect for narrow spaces like doorways, public transport and rocky terrain.

Some can be converted to travel systems that take two carrycots or car seats for children. They are often heavier, longer and less stable than a single pushchair.

Convertible

If you're looking for convertible stroller that can be converted from a single to a double or to add another seat to an existing one, there's many options to choose from. The UPPAbaby V2 is large, beautiful stroller. It is easily converted from a single to a double by adding an seating area with a rumble. It's costly and less maneuverable than other dual strollers because the 2nd seat is located behind the front seat. Nuna Demi Grow offers a similar option however, it doesn't have storage underneath the seat when it is used as a double stroller.

Other alternatives include twin buggies with all-terrain wheels, and joggers with fixed wheels that can hold two children. These are more expensive, but they are designed for long-distance trips over rough terrain, and come with higher resale prices.

Reclining seat recline independently

If you're looking for a double stroller that will accommodate children of different ages, you will need one with an independent recliner for both seats. This allows your older child to relax while the baby is in the bassinet and reverse.

It is also important to consider the width of the stroller as this will impact the ease of get through doors and on public transport. If you have very narrow doors, it may be worth considering a side-by-side pushchair such as the Mountain Buggy Duet which has the advantage of having a footprint similar to a single buggy, however, it is able to take 2 seats and car seat adaptors.

Tandem buggies tend to be longer 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 seats/carrycots/car seats and are an excellent choice for twins and siblings of different age. They also tend to be more expensive than single-to-double buggies, but are a worthwhile investment if you plan to keep it for years and will have a decent amount of resale value in the event that you sell it on after your children have grown out of it.

Another thing to look out for is if the seat backs can recline independently of one another since this will allow you to place your child in the best position for naps or watching. This is particularly important if you have a younger child in the rear seat who may want to lie back and sleep while the older child would prefer to sit up and observe their surroundings.

Certain brands have a unique design that allows the back of their vehicles to recline fully to a position that is nearly flat, which is ideal for newborns. For instance, the iCandy Orange has raised stadium-style seating and can recline the included toddler seat and the add-on RumbleSeat into multiple positions so your kids can have the option of where they want to sit N stand smallest double buggy stroller - e10100.com - and also comes with an excellent UPF 50+ canopy with windows that peek out.

More spacious than twin buggies

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

A popular option is the Mountain Buggy Duet, which features the slimmest side-by-side design available and features a footprint similar to a single buggy. It also has an adjustable handle, which makes it easier for parents of various heights to push and a handbrake, which can be useful when you have to climb difficult terrains. It is suitable for use right from birth, and it can be combined with a variety of car seats and carrycots.

Another option is the iCandy Wave, which has the convenience of a single click to fold and can be used in mono or duo mode. The clever frame can be expanded to accommodate the second chair and can be used with up to two car seats or carrycots. This makes it a fantastic choice for older siblings that wish to be seated together. It's a little longer than other models, yet it's easy to steer and has soft suspension that can handle the kerbs.

There are also plenty of 3-wheeler inline tandems available - check out Phil and Teds' inline models or iCandy's Peach and Pear buggies, for instance they offer stability and swift steering. They can be folded into a single buggy if you have limited space at home, or need to carry it from the car to the bus.

It's important to remember that a large double buggy will feel heavier and bulkier than a single buggy that is smaller Make sure that it's what you require before you buy. It is likely to be used on buses, trains and subways frequently, so it must be easy to use and manage. You might need to manage the car seat on and off when taking your child to school or to nursery.

From birth, you're a suitable candidate

If you're expecting twins, or you have a child following your first, you're likely to need to find a stroller double that can accommodate the whole family. Double buggies are generally heavier and bulkier, as well as more expensive than single strollers. However they are also more maneuverable in narrower doorways or around obstacles such as curbs. Many are also compatible with piggyback ride-along boards (either from the manufacturer or via an accessory purchase) so you can transport three children at once.

Tandem pushchairs place one child in front of the other, so they're generally a better option for families with two children who are similar in age to get along well. But they're not completely safe Siblings in a side-by-side seat can kick or punch each other, and kids on different heights can squabble over who should sit higher. This issue can be resolved by a tandem high-low design that elevates the seat in the rear. Your older child will not be seated on the lower part of the car, and won't get much of an eye.

The iCandy Wave is a good option for parents who are looking for an adjustable double buggy that can be converted into a carrycot that can accommodate both a newborn and an older child. It has a clever frame that expands widthways when you add a second hand double buggy seat, and folds to flattish storage. The padded buckles, straps and seats are all of the best quality we have encountered in our tests. Both seats can recline independently and the canopy is large and generous with UPF 50+ protection as well as windows that can be seen from a distance.

The only downside of the iCandy is that it's on the expensive side however, a good tandem will last for years and retain its resale value. So you'll likely recoup some of the cost in the end. It doesn't have the same range of seating configurations that the other top picks, but the iCandy is a good option for families who don't wish to shell out a lot of money.
