Buying a Tandem Double Buggy If you have twins or children very similar in age, a tandem double buggy is a great choice. They are a bit smaller than side-by-side buggies and are ideal for narrow spaces like doors, public transport and terrain that is rocky. Many also convert into travel systems to use two carrycots or car seats. They are typically heavier, longer and less stable than a single pushchair. Convertible If you're looking for a convertible stroller that can be converted from a single to a double or to add an additional seat to an existing one, there's several options available. The UPPAbaby is a spacious, gorgeous stroller. It is easily transformed from a single stroller to a double by adding an Rumble seat. However, it's expensive and less mobile than other double strollers because the 2nd seat is placed behind the front seat. Nuna Demi Grow is a similar model, but it lacks storage under the seat when it's used as a double stroller. Other options include twin buggies that have all-terrain wheels and joggers with fixed wheels that can hold two kids. These tend to be more expensive, but they're made for long trips over rough terrain and could have greater resales value. Reclining seat recline independently If you require a double buggy that can transport children of various ages, you'll require a model with an independent seat recline for both seats. This allows your older child to be able to relax while your baby is in the bassinet, and reverse. It is also important to consider the width of the pushchair, as it will impact how easy it is to navigate through doors and on public transportation. If you have very narrow doors, it may be worth considering a side-by-side pushchair such as the Mountain Buggy Duet which has the benefit of having a footprint comparable to a single buggy, but can still use two seats and car seat adaptors. Tandem buggies are typically longer than side by side models, which makes them more difficult to maneuver around and down kerbs. However they can be able to accommodate more combinations of seats/carrycots/car seats and are the perfect choice for twins and siblings of different age. They are also more expensive than single-to-double buggies but they're well worth it if you intend on keeping it for many years. They will also retain some value if you decide to sell it when your children are old enough to use the buggie. This feature will allow you to put your child in a comfortable position for naps or to observe. This is crucial if your child is in the back seat and wants to nap while the child in the front prefers to sit up and observe the surrounding. Certain brands have a unique design that allows the back of their vehicles to fully recline into a position that's almost flat, perfect for infants. For instance the iCandy Orange has raised stadium-style seating and can recline the included toddler seat and the add-on RumbleSeat to multiple positions, so your kids can have a choice of where to sit and also comes with an excellent UPF 50+ canopy with peekaboo windows. More spacious than twin buggies They are perfect for siblings of different age groups, and you can get around without worrying about your children touching. They're typically a bit longer too with one seat placed behind the other and offering a fully-flat recline for babies (or an upright position for toddlers). Mountain Buggy Duet is a popular option. It is the tiniest design that is side-by-side and a footprint that is comparable to the footprint of a single stroller. It has an adjustable handle that makes it easier for parents to push, and a handbrake which is useful on steep hills. compact double stroller can be used from birth and is compatible with a range of car seats and carrycots, which means it's a great travel system. The iCandy Wave is another option. It folds in either mono or duo mode with just one click. The frame's clever design expands to accommodate a second chair and can be used up to two car seats or carrycots. This makes it a great option for older siblings who would like to be seated together. It's a bit bigger than the other models, but it feels light and has a comfortable suspension for curbs. There are many 3-wheeler tandems with inline wheels that offer stability and swift steering. Take a look at Phil and Teds inline models as well as iCandy Peach and Pear buggies. They can be folded into a single buggy if you have limited space at home or need to transport it from the car to the bus. It's worth bearing in mind that a large double buggy will feel heavier and bulkier than a single buggy that is smaller So make sure you're getting what you need before purchasing. It will be used on buses, trains and subways often, so it should be easy to use and manage. It is possible that you will need to move the car seat on and off when you take your child to school or the nursery. From birth, you're a suitable candidate There will be a need for a pushchair for your entire family, regardless of whether you're expecting twins or if you have a child after you've had your first. Double buggies are typically a bit heavier, bulkier and cost more than single strollers. However, they can also be easier to maneuver in narrower entrances or around obstacles such as curbs. They are also compatible with piggyback ride-along boards (either from the manufacturer or via a separate accessory purchase) which means you can carry three children at once. Tandem pushchairs place one child ahead of the other. They are a good choice if your children are close in age and get along well. They're not 100% secure. Siblings seated side-by-side may kick or punch each other and children of different heights can fight over who sits higher. A tandem high-low model is able to solve this problem by elevating the seat at the rear, preventing your child's older one from being on the bottom and not getting the best view. The iCandy Wave is a good choice for parents looking for a convertible double buggy that includes a carrycot that can accommodate both a newborn and an older child. It features a smart frame that can be expanded in width when you add a second seat. It folds flat for compact storage. The seats are cushioned and comfortable, the straps easy to fasten, and the buckles some of the most impressive we've seen in any of our tests. You can recline both seats independently, and the canopies are spacious and large with UPF 50+ protection as well as windows that can be seen from a distance. The only drawback to the iCandy is that it's a little on the expensive side, but a quality tandem will last for a long time and retain its resale value. So you'll probably recoup some of the cost over the long term. It also doesn't offer the same selection of seating options as the other top choices, but the iCandy is a great choice for families that don't want to spend a lot.
