Buying a Tandem Double Buggy

A tandem double buggy could be a great option when you have twins or children who are very close in age. They're smaller than side-by-side buggies and ideal for navigating narrow spaces like entrances, on public transportation and on rough terrain.

Many also transform into travel systems that include two carrycots or car seats. They are often heavier, longer and less stable than a single pushchair.

Convertible

If you're looking for convertible single-to-double stroller or want to add an additional seat to an existing one, there are a variety of options available. The Vista V2 from UPPAbaby is spacious, gorgeous stroller that can easily be converted from a single model to double by incorporating the rumble seat (available separately). It's costly and less mobile than other double strollers due to the fact that the second seat is placed behind the front seat. Nuna Demi Grow provides a similar choice however, it doesn't have storage under the seat when it's used as a double stroller.

Other options include all-terrain twin buggies as well as fixed-wheel joggers that can accommodate two children. They are generally more expensive, however they're designed for long-distance trips over rough terrain and could have more resale value.

Independent recline of the seat

If you need a double buggy that is able to 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 relax in the back while the baby is in the bassinet and reverse.

Consider the width of your pushchair and consider how easy it is for you to maneuver through doors and on public transport. If your doorways are very narrow, you may be considering a side-by-side pushchair like the Mountain Buggy Duet. It has a footprint that is similar to a single stroller but can still fit two seats and car seat adaptors.

Tandem buggies are generally longer than side by side models, which makes them more difficult to maneuver up and down kerbs. However, they can accommodate more combinations of seats/carrycots/car seats and are a great option for twins and siblings of various age groups. They are also more expensive than single-to-double pushchairs with adjustable Handle buggies, but are worth the investment if you intend to keep it for a long time and have a good amount of resale value in the event that you decide to sell it when your children have grown out of it.

Another crucial thing to look for is if the backs of the seats can recline independently of one another as this will let you put your child in the most optimal position to nap or observe. This is especially important if you have a younger child in the rear seat who will want to lie back and take a snooze while the older child would prefer to sit up and look around their surroundings.

Some brands feature a unique seat design which allows the back seat to completely recline to an almost flat position which is perfect for babies. The iCandy Orange, for example has a stadium-style seating option that can be reclined in several positions. It also comes with UPF 50+ sun protection and peekaboo windows.

Wider than twin buggies

You don't need to have twins to benefit from a larger double buggy. They're great for siblings of various ages and allow you to get around without worrying about your children touching. They're typically a bit longer with one seat in front of the other. The seats can be reclined fully for newborns or in an upright position for toddlers.

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

The iCandy Wave is another option. It folds in mono or duo mode with just one click. The frame's clever design expands to accommodate an additional chair and can be used up to two car seats or carrycots. This makes it a great choice for older siblings that wish to be seated together. It's a bit longer than other models, yet it's easy to steer and has soft suspension that can handle the kerbs.

There are many 3-wheeler tandems with inline tires that offer stability and quick steering. Take a look at Phil and Teds inline models or iCandy Peach and Pear buggies. They are often folded down to size a single buggy, which is helpful for those who struggle with storage at home or need to transport it into and out of your car when using public transport.

Be aware that a double travel stroller wide buggy is heavier and heavier than a single compact buggy. Be sure to know what you want before you buy. It is likely to be used on buses, trains, and subways frequently therefore it must be simple to operate and use. You might need to manage the car seat in and out while taking your child to school or nursery.

The best time to start is when you are born.

If you're expecting twins, or have a second child after your first, you're likely to need to find an appropriate pushchair for the whole family. Double buggies are generally heavier, bulkier, and more expensive than single strollers. However they are also easier to maneuver in tighter doorways or around obstacles such as curbs. Many double buggies work with piggyback boards (available from the manufacturer or as an add-on). This lets you transport three children at the same time.

Tandem pushchairs put one child in front of the other, so they're often a better choice when you have two children who are close enough in age to be able to live well together. They're not 100% secure. Siblings who are sitting side-by-side could kick or punch each other and children with different heights could argue over who is sitting higher. A tandem high-low model can solve this problem by elevating the seat towards the rear, preventing your older child from sitting on the bottom and not getting any view.

The iCandy Wave is a great option for parents looking for an easy-to-use double buggy that converts to fit both a newborn in a carrycot as well as an older child in the main seat. It features a clever frame which expands in width when you add the second child seat. It folds flat to make it a compact storage. The padded buckles, straps and seats are all of the highest quality we have encountered in our testing. You can recline both seats independently and the canopy is big and spacious with UPF 50+ protection and windows that peek out.

The only downside of the iCandy is that it's expensive, but a quality tandem will last a long time and will retain its resale value, so you'll probably get back some of the cost over the long term. The iCandy doesn't come with the same seating configurations as our other top choices. However, it's a good option for families who don't want to spend lots of money.
