Buying a Tandem Double Buggy A tandem double buggy can be a fantastic option when you have twins or children who are very close in age. They're a bit smaller than side-byside buggies, and ideal for maneuvering tight spaces, such as doors, on public transport and on rocky terrain. Some can be converted into travel systems that take two carrycots or child car seats. They can be heavier, longer and less stable than a single pushchair. Convertible If you're looking for convertible stroller that can be converted from a single to a double or to add another seat to an existing one, there are many options to choose from. The Vista V2 from UPPAbaby is a large, gorgeous stroller that easily converts from a single model to a double by adding the rumble seat (available separately). However, it's pricey and less maneuverable than other dual strollers due to the fact that the second seat is placed to the left of the front seat. lightweight double stroller is a similar model with a wide range of seating options, but does not have storage under the seat when used in doubles mode. Other options include all-terrain twin buggies as well as fixed-wheel joggers that can hold two children. They tend to be more expensive, but they're made for long-distance trips over rough terrain and could have a higher resale value. Reclining the seat independently If you are looking for a double stroller that will accommodate children of various ages, you will need one with a recliner that is independent 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 think about the size of the stroller as it will impact the ease of get through doors and on public transportation. If compact double stroller are very narrow, you might be considering a side-by-side pushchair like 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 longer than side by side models, which makes them more difficult to maneuver up and down kerbs. However they can also accommodate a wider range of combinations of car seats/car seats/seats and can make the perfect choice for twins and siblings of various age groups. They are also more expensive than single-to-double buggies but are a worthwhile investment if you intend to keep it for a long time and will have a decent amount of resale value should you decide to sell it when your children have grown out of it. Another crucial thing to look for is whether the seat backs can recline independently of each other because this allows you to put your child in the most optimal position for naps or watching. This is particularly important if you have a young child in the rear seat who will prefer to lay back and take a snooze while the more mature child wants to sit and observe their surroundings. A few brands have a unique design for their seats that allows the back seat to fully recline into a nearly flat position which is perfect for babies. For example, the iCandy Orange has raised stadium-style seating that can recline both the toddler seat that comes with it and the add-on RumbleSeat into various positions to give your kids a the option of deciding where they will sit, as well as providing an excellent UPF 50+ canopy with windows that peek out. More spacious than twin buggies They are ideal for siblings with different age groups, and you can move about without worrying about your children touching. They're typically a little larger with one seat placed behind the other and with a fully-flat recline option for babies (or a more upright position for toddlers). A popular choice is the Mountain Buggy Duet, which has the slimmest side-byside design available and features a footprint similar to a single buggy. It also comes with an adjustable handle, making it easier for parents of various heights to push, and a handbrake, which can be useful when you have to climb steep hills. It is suitable to use from birth and can be paired with a range of car seats and carrycots. The iCandy Wave is another option. It can be folded in either mono or duo mode with just one click. Its innovative frame can be expanded to allow for a second seat and can be used with up to two carrycots or car seats which makes it an ideal option for older siblings who want to sit together and enjoy the view. It's a bit longer than other models, but it feels light and has a comfortable suspension for curbs. There are also plenty of 3-wheeler tandems inline available Check out Phil and Teds inline models or iCandy's Peach and Pear buggies, for example they offer stability and swift steering. They are often folded into the size of a single buggy which is useful when you have trouble storing it at home or need to lug it in and out of your car when you travel on public transport. It's worth bearing in mind that a double-buggy with a wider width will feel bulkier and heavier than a smaller single buggy Make sure that it's what you need before purchasing. It is likely to be used on trains, buses and subways often, so it should be easy to manage and use. You may need to juggle the car seat on and off while taking your child to school or nursery. Suitable from birth If you're expecting twins or you have a child following your first, you're going to require a stroller that can accommodate the whole family. Double buggies are generally heavier and bulkier, as well as more expensive than single strollers. However they are much more maneuverable in narrower doors or around obstacles such as curbs. Many double buggies work with piggyback boards (available from the manufacturer or as an add-on). This allows you to transport three children simultaneously. Tandem pushchairs put one child in the front of the other, and they're usually a better option for families with two children who are close enough in age to function well together. They're not foolproof. Siblings who are sitting side-by-side could punch or kick one another and children with different heights can fight over who sits taller. A tandem high-low model could solve this problem by elevating the seat to the rear, preventing your child's older one from sitting on the bottom and not having the best view. The iCandy Wave is a great choice for parents looking for an easy-to-use double buggy that converts to fit a newborn into a carrycot as well as an older child in the main seat. It features a smart frame that can be expanded in width when you add a second seat and folds down flat to make it a compact storage. The cushioned straps, buckles, and seats are all of the best quality we have encountered in our testing. The seats can be reclined independently, and the canopies are big and spacious with UPF 50+ protection and windows that can be seen from a distance. The only drawback to the iCandy is that it's expensive, but a quality tandem will last for years and retain its resale value. So you'll likely recoup some of the cost in the long run. It doesn't come with the same variety of seating options as others of our top picks however, the iCandy is a good option for families who don't wish to spend a fortune.
