Buying a Tandem Double Buggy

A tandem double buggy can be a fantastic option for twins or children who are close in age. They are a bit smaller than side-by-side buggies and are perfect for narrow spaces like doorways, public transport and rough terrain.

Some are able to be converted into travel systems that can take two carrycots or car seats for children. However, they are heavier and longer than single and double stroller pushchairs, and might feel less stable when as they bump up kerbs.

Convertible

If you're looking for a convertible single-to-double stroller or want to add a second seat to an existing one, there are a variety of options available. The UPPAbaby is a spacious, gorgeous stroller. It can be easily transformed from a single stroller to a double by adding the Rumble seat. It is more expensive and less maneuverable since the second seat is positioned behind the first seat. Nuna Demi Grow provides a similar choice, but it lacks storage under the seat when used as a double stroller.

Other alternatives include twin buggies with all-terrain wheels, and joggers with fixed wheels that can accommodate two kids. They are more expensive, however, they are designed for long-distance trips over rough terrain and have higher resale prices.

Reclining the seat independently

If you require a double buggy that can transport children of different ages then you're going to want one that has independent seat recline for both seats. This will allow your older child to sit back and relax while the baby is in the bassinet, and reverse.

Take into consideration the width of your pushchair to determine the ease of you to maneuver through doors and public transport. If your doors are narrow, you may think about a side by side pushchair like the Mountain Buggy Duet. It has a footprint similar to a single stroller however can still fit two seats and car seat adaptors.

Tandem buggies generally are slightly longer than side-by-side models, and aren't as easily maneuverable around kerbs however, they can accommodate a wider range of car seat/car seat combinations, making them a good option for twins or siblings of different ages. They can also be more expensive than single-to double buggies, but are worth the investment if you plan to keep it for a long time and will retain a decent amount of resale value should you decide to sell it when your children are out of it.

This feature will allow you to place your child in an ideal position for naps or to observe. This is crucial for children who are in the back seat and wants to take a nap while the older child prefers to sit and observe the surrounding.

Certain brands have a distinctive design that allows the back of their vehicles to recline fully into a position that's nearly flat, which is ideal for infants. For instance the iCandy Orange has raised stadium-style seating that can recline both 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, and also comes with an excellent UPF 50+ canopy that has windows that peek out.

More spacious than twin buggies

There's no need to have twins to benefit from a bigger double buggy - they're ideal for siblings of different age groups. They allow you to move around without having to worry about your children touching each other. They're usually a bit larger, with one seat sitting behind the other, and typically with a fully-flat recline option for babies (or an upright position for toddlers).

Mountain Buggy Duet is a popular choice. It has the slimmest design of the two-in-ones on the market and a footprint that is like one stroller. It also has an adjustable handle, making it easy for parents of different heights to push, and an adjustable handbrake, which is useful when tackling difficult hills. It can be used from birth and is compatible with a range of car seats and carrycots, meaning it is a great travel system.

The iCandy Wave is another option. It folds in either mono or duo mode with just a single click. Its innovative frame can be expanded widthwise to accommodate a second chair and it can be used with up to two carrycots or car seats so it's an excellent option for older siblings who want to sit together and enjoy the view. It's a little longer than other models but still feels easy to steer and has soft suspension to tackle the kerbs.

There are also plenty of 3-wheeler tandems inline available such as Phil and Teds inline models, or iCandy's Peach and Pear buggies, for instance - which provide stability and quick steering. They can be folded into one buggy if you are limited in space at home or you need to carry it from the car to the bus stop.

Be aware that a two-wheeled buggy will be more heavy and bulkier than a single compact buggy. Make sure you know what you want before you purchase. You'll be taking it off and on subways, trains and buses regularly so it needs to be easy to operate and manage. You might need to manage the car seat when you take your child to school or nursery.

From birth

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 whole family. cheap double stroller buggies are typically heavier and bulkier, as well as more expensive than single and double stroller strollers. However they are much more maneuverable in narrower doors and around obstacles such as curbs. Many double single pushchair 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 seat one child in the front of the other, so they're generally a better option for families with two children who are close enough in age to be able to live well. They're not completely safe. Siblings who are sitting side-by-side could punch or kick one another and children of different heights may fight over who is sitting higher. This problem can be solved by a tandem high-low model that raises the seat at the back. Your child's older one will not be sitting at the lowest part of the car and won't have much of an opportunity to see.

The iCandy Wave is a great choice for parents looking for an easy-to-use convertible double buggy that can fit a newborn into a carrycot, and an older child in the main seat. It features a clever frame that can be expanded in width when you add the second seat, and folds flat to make it a compact storage. The padded seats are comfortable, the straps are simple to fasten and the buckles some of the most impressive we've seen in any of our tests. The canopy is large in size and UPF 50+ protection, and windows that peek out. Both seats can recline independently.

The only downside to the iCandy tandem is that it's a bit expensive. However, a good tandem will last for years and retain a high resale price, which means that in the end you'll probably recoup some of the cost. It doesn't have the same range of seating options as the other top picks however, the iCandy is a great choice for families who don't wish to spend a lot.
