Buying a Tandem Double Buggy

A tandem double buggy can be a fantastic option when you have twins or children who are close in age. They are narrower than side by side buggies, and are ideal for small spaces such as doorways, public transport and rough terrain.

Some can be converted to travel systems that can take two carrycots or child car seats. However, they can be heavier and longer than single pushchairs double, and might feel less stable when bumping up the kerbs.

Convertible

If 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 UPPAbaby Vista V2 is a spacious, gorgeous stroller that easily converts from a single stroller to double by adding the rumble seat (available separately). It is more expensive and less maneuverable since the second seat is placed behind the first seat. Nuna Demi Grow is a similar model, but it lacks storage underneath the seat when used as a double stroller.

Other alternatives include all-terrain twin buggy buggies, as well as fixed-wheel joggers which can be used to accommodate two children. They tend to be more expensive, but they're made to last longer on rough terrain and can have a higher resale value.

Reclining seat recline independently

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

You'll also need to consider the width of the stroller as it will impact the ease of navigate through doors and on public transportation. If your doorways are very narrow, you might want to consider a side-by-side pushchair like the Mountain Buggy Duet. It has a footprint that is similar to a single stroller however can still accommodate two seats and car seat adaptors.

Tandem buggies are generally a little longer than side-by-side models, and aren't as difficult to maneuver up and down kerbs, but they can accommodate a wider variety of car seat/car seat combinations, so can be a good option for twins or siblings of various age groups. These buggies are priced higher than single-to-best lightweight double stroller buggies however they're worth it if you plan to keep it for a few years. They will also retain a good amount of value when sold once your children have outgrown it.

This feature allows you to place your child in an ideal position for naps or to observe. This is especially important when you have a young child in the rear seat who will want to lie back and sleep while the older child wants to sit up and observe their surroundings.

Some brands have a unique design that allows the back seat of their vehicles to recline fully into a position that's nearly flat, which is ideal for babies. The iCandy Orange, for example has a stadium-style seating option that can be reclined into multiple positions. It also has UPF 50+ sun protection and peekaboo windows.

More spacious than twin pushchair from birth buggies

There's no need to have twins to benefit from a wider double buggy. They're perfect for siblings of various age groups. They allow you to move around without having to worry about your children touching. They're usually a bit larger with one seat placed behind the other and offering a fully-flat recline for infants (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 like a single stroller. It also features an adjustable handle, which makes it easier for parents of various heights to push, and a handbrake, which is useful when tackling difficult hills. It can be used from birth and is compatible with a variety of car seats and carrycots, meaning it is a great travel system.

The iCandy Wave is another option. It can be folded in mono or duo mode in a single click. Its innovative frame can be expanded widthwise to allow for a second seat 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 bit longer than other models but still feels light to steer and has soft suspension to tackle the kerbs.

There are many 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. These can often be folded into a single buggy if you have limited space at home, or need to transport it from your car to the bus.

It's important to keep in mind that a double-buggy with a wider width will be heavier and bulkier than a compact single buggy So make sure it's what you require before purchasing. You'll be taking it off and on trains, buses and subways frequently, so it must be easy to use and manage. You may also need to juggle it onto and off the car seat while taking your children to nursery or school so you'll need to be aware it is able to be maneuvered within small spaces.

Suitable from birth

If you're expecting twins, or have another child after your first, you're going to require a pushchair that fits the entire family. Double buggies are typically heavier, bulkier, and more expensive than single strollers. However, they are easier to maneuver in tighter doorways or around obstacles such as curbs. Many are also compatible with piggyback ride-along boards (either from the manufacturer or through an additional accessory purchase) to allow you to transport three children at once.

Tandem pushchairs place one child in front of the other. They're a great option for children who are similar in age and are able to get along. They're not 100% secure. Siblings seated side-by-side may punch or kick each other, and children of different heights can fight over who is sitting higher. A tandem high-low model can solve this issue by elevating the seat at the rear, which will prevent your child's older one from being on the bottom and not getting any view.

The iCandy Wave is a good choice for parents looking for a convertible double buggy with a carrycot that is able to accommodate both infants and an older child. It features a smart frame that expands widthways when you add the second seat and folds down flat for compact storage. The padded straps, buckles, and seats are all of the highest quality we have seen in our tests. The canopies have a generous size with UPF 50+ protection, and a windows that peek out. Both seats are reclined independently.

The only drawback to the iCandy tandem is that it's a bit costly. However, a quality tandem will last for years and retain the highest resale value, which means that in the end, you'll likely recoup some of the cost. It also doesn't offer the same selection of seating options as the other top picks however, the iCandy is a good choice for families who don't wish to spend a fortune.
