Buying a Tandem Double Buggy

A tandem double buggy could be a fantastic option when you have twins or children who are very close in age. They are narrower than side by side buggies, and are great for narrow spaces like doors, public transport, and terrain that is rocky.

Some can be converted to travel systems that use two carrycots or car seats for children. However, they are heavier and longer than single pushchairs and may not be as stable when in bumping up the kerbs.

Convertible

Whether you're looking for a convertible stroller that can be converted from a single to a double or to add another seat to an existing one, there are several options available. The Vista V2 from UPPAbaby is big, beautiful stroller that easily converts from a single stroller to a Maxmass Double Seat Baby Stroller Adjustable Handlebar by adding the rumble seating (available separately). However, it's expensive and less maneuverable than other dual strollers because the 2nd seat is placed to the left of the front seat. Nuna Demi Grow offers a similar option but lacks storage under the seat when it's used as a double stroller.

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

Independent recline of the seat

If you're looking for a double buggy that is able to transport children of various ages, you'll require a model with an independent seat recline for both seats. This allows your older child to relax while the baby is sleeping in a bassinet, and the reverse is true.

You'll also have to consider the width of the pushchair, as it will impact how easy it is to traverse doors and public transport. If you have extremely narrow doors, it could be a good idea to consider a side-byside pushchair like the Mountain Buggy Duet which has the benefit of having a footprint similar to a single buggy however, it is able to accommodate two seats and car seat adaptors.

Tandem buggies are generally slightly longer than side-by-side models and so aren't as easily maneuverable up and down kerbs, however they can be able to accommodate a wider variety of car/car/seat combinations, making them a good option for twins or siblings of various ages. They also tend to be more expensive than single-to-double buggies, but are a worthwhile investment if you plan to keep it for many years and have a good amount of resale value should you sell it on when your children are out of it.

Another important feature to look for is if the backs of the seats can recline independently of one another because this allows you to put your child in the best position for napping or observation. This is crucial if your child is in the back seat and would like to nap while the child in the front prefers to sit up and observe the surroundings.

Some brands feature a unique design for their seats that allows the back seat to fully recline to an almost flat position, which is ideal for newborns. For instance, the iCandy Orange has raised stadium-style seating and can recline both the included toddler seat and the add-on RumbleSeat into various positions to give your kids a the option of where they want to sit and also comes with an excellent UPF 50+ canopy that has peekaboo windows.

They are ideal for siblings with different age groups, and they allow you to get around without worrying about your children touching. They are usually a little bit longer, with one seat behind 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 is the tiniest side-by-side model available and has an identical footprint to one buggy. It comes with an adjustable handle that makes it easier for parents to push and a handbrake which is useful on steep hills. It is suitable 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 mono or duo mode in a single click. The frame's clever design expands in width to accommodate the second chair and can be used up to two car seats or carrycots. This makes it an ideal option for older siblings who wish to be seated together. It's a bit longer than other models, yet it's light to steer and comes with soft suspension that is able to handle kerbs.

There are many 3-wheeler tandems with inline wheels that provide stability and fast steering. Check out Phil and Teds inline models or iCandy Peach and Pear buggies. They can be folded into a single buggy if you are limited in space at home or you need to transport it from your car to the bus station.

It's worth bearing in mind that a wide double buggy will be heavier and bulkier than a compact single buggy So make sure you're getting what you need before purchasing. You'll be taking it on and off subways, buses, and trains frequently, so it must be simple to use and manage. You might also have to move it on 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 in tight spaces.

From your birth, you are a suitable candidate

If you're expecting twins, or have a second child after your first, you're likely need to find a stroller that can accommodate the entire family. Double buggies tend to be larger, heavier and cost more than single strollers, but they can also be more maneuverable through narrower doors or around obstacles such as curbs. Many double buggies are compatible with piggyback boards (available from the manufacturer or as an add-on). This allows you to carry three children simultaneously.

Tandem pushchairs place one child ahead of the other. They're a great choice if your children are similar in age and get along well. They're not foolproof. Siblings seated side-by-side may kick or punch each other and children of different heights may fight over who sits higher. A tandem high-low model could solve this issue by elevating the seat towards the rear, which prevents your child's older one from being on the bottom and not having much of a view.

The iCandy Wave is a great option for parents looking for an easy-to-use double buggy that converts to accommodate a newborn in a carrycot as well as an older child in the main seat. It has an intelligent frame that can be expanded in size when you add the second child seat. It also folds flat for storage that is compact. The cushioned seats are comfortable, the straps are easy to secure and the buckles are among the most impressive we've seen in any of our tests. The canopies have a generous size and UPF 50+ protection, as well as a windows that peek out. Both seats are reclined independently.

The only drawback to the iCandy tandem is that it's quite expensive. However, a good tandem will last you for years and retain an attractive resale value so at the end of the day you'll likely recover a portion of the cost. It doesn't have the same variety of seating configurations that the other top choices however the iCandy is a good option for families who don't want to spend a lot.
