Buying a Tandem Double Buggy

A tandem double buggy (Read More On this page) can be a great choice if you have twins, or children who are very close in age. They are a bit smaller than side by side buggies, and are great for narrow spaces like doorways, public transport and rocky 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, and might feel less stable when in bumping up kerbs.

Convertible

If you're looking for a convertible stroller that converts from single to double or to add a second seat to an existing one, there's many options to choose from. The Vista V2 from UPPAbaby is big, beautiful stroller that easily converts from a single to a double car seat stroller by adding the rumble seating (available separately). It is more expensive and less maneuverable due to the fact that the second seat is located on top of the first seat. The Nuna Demi Grow is a similar option with a wide range of seating options, but isn't equipped with storage under the seat when used in doubles mode.

Other options include twin buggies that have all-terrain wheels and joggers with fixed wheels that can accommodate two kids. They tend to be more expensive but they're designed for long-distance trips over rough terrain and can have greater resales value.

Reclining the seat independently

If you need a double buggy that is able to transport children of various age groups, then you'll require a model with an recline independent for both seats. This allows your older child to rest while the baby is in the bassinet, and the reverse is true.

Consider the width of your pushchair and consider the ease of you to navigate through doors and on public transportation. If your doors are narrow, you may think about a side by side pushchair such as the Mountain Buggy Duet. It has a footprint that is similar to a single stroller however it can 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 around kerbs however, they can accommodate a wider range of car/car/seat combinations, so can be a good option for twins or siblings of various age. These buggies are priced higher than single-to-double buggies but they're well worth it if you intend to keep it for a few years. They also hold some value if you decide to sell it when your children are old enough to use it.

Another crucial thing to look out for is if the seat backs can recline independently of one another since this will allow you to 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 may be inclined to lie down and sleep while the older child would prefer to sit and observe their surroundings.

A few brands have a unique design for their seats that allows the back seat to completely recline into a nearly flat position, which is ideal for babies. For example, the iCandy Orange has raised stadium-style seating and can recline the toddler seat that comes with it as well as the optional RumbleSeat into multiple positions so your kids can have the option of deciding where to sit, as well as offering an excellent UPF 50+ canopy that has windows that can be seen from afar.

Larger than twin buggies

It's not necessary to have twins to benefit from a bigger double buggy. They're great for siblings of various age groups. They allow you to get around without worrying about your children touching each other. They're usually a bit larger too, with one seat sitting behind the other, and typically providing a flat recline for infants (or an upright position for toddlers).

A popular option is the Mountain Buggy Duet, which features the slimmest side-by-side design available and has the same footprint as 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 for use from birth, and can be used with a wide range of car seats and carrycots.

The iCandy Wave is another option. It can be folded in duo or mono mode with just a single click. The frame's clever design expands in width to accommodate an additional chair and can be used to accommodate up to two car seats or carrycots. This makes it a great 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 to tackle the kerbs.

There are a variety of 3-wheeler tandems with inline tires that offer stability and quick steering. Check out Phil and Teds inline models as well as iCandy Peach and Pear buggies. Often these can be folded into the size of a single buggy which is useful if you struggle with storage at home or need to lug it in and out of the boot when using public transport.

It's important to remember that a wide double buggy will be heavier and bulkier than a single buggy that is smaller Make sure that you're getting what you need before you purchase. You'll be taking it off and on trains, buses and subways often, so it should be easy to use and manage. You may need to juggle the car seat in and out when you take your child to school or to nursery.

From birth, you're a good candidate

If you're expecting twins, or have a second child after your first, you're going to need to find an appropriate pushchair for the entire family. Double buggies are typically larger, heavier and cost more than single strollers, but they are also easier to maneuver in narrower doorways or around obstacles like curbs. Many double buggies work with piggyback boards (available from the manufacturer or as an add-on). This allows you to carry three children at the same time.

Tandem pushchairs seat one child in the front of the other, so they're generally a better option if you have two kids who are close enough in age to get along well. But they're not completely safe Side-by-side chairs could kick or punch each other, and kids on different heights can squabble over who sits higher. This issue can be resolved by a tandem high-low model that raises the seat to the back. Your older child isn't seated at the bottom of the car and won't be able to get a look out.

The iCandy Wave is a great choice 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 has an innovative frame that expands in width when you add a second child seat. It can also fold flat for compact storage. The cushioned straps, buckles, and seats are all of the best quality we have encountered in our tests. Both seats can recline independently and the canopy is spacious and large with UPF 50+ protection as well as windows that peek out.

The only downside to the iCandy tandem is that it's a bit expensive. However, a quality tandem will last for a long time and will have the highest resale value, so at the end of the day you'll probably recoup a portion of the cost. It also doesn't offer the same selection of seating configurations as others of our top picks however, the iCandy is a great choice for families that don't want to spend a lot.
