Buying a Tandem Double Buggy

A tandem double buggy could be a great choice when you have twins or children who are 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 rocky terrain.

Some are able to be converted into travel systems that take two carrycots or child car seats. However, they can be heavier and longer than single pushchairs, and may feel less stable in bumping up kerbs.

Convertible

There are a variety of options for adding a second seating or changing a single stroller into a double. The UPPAbaby Vista V2 is a large, gorgeous stroller that converts easily from a single to a double by adding the rumble seating (available separately). However, it's expensive and less maneuverable than other dual strollers since the second seat is placed to the left of the front seat. Nuna Demi Grow provides a similar choice, but it lacks storage underneath the seat when it's used as a double stroller.

Other options include all-terrain chicco ohlalà twin Double stroller: lightweight compact versatile buggies, as well as fixed-wheel joggers that can hold two children. They are generally more expensive, however they're designed for long trips over rough terrain and could have a higher resale value.

Reclining the seat independently

If you are looking for a double stroller which can accommodate children of different age groups, you'll require one with independent seat recliner for both seats. This will allow your child's older to rest in the back while the baby is in the bassinet, and vice versa.

Take into consideration the size of your pushchair to determine how easy it is for you to navigate through doors and public transportation. If your doorways are very narrow, you may think about a side by side pushchair such as the Mountain Buggy Duet. It has a footprint similar to a single stroller, but it can accommodate two seats and car seat adaptors.

Tandem buggies are typically longer than side by side models, and therefore are more difficult to maneuver around and down kerbs. However they can be able to accommodate more combinations of seats/carrycots/car seats and can make the perfect choice for twins and siblings of different ages. These buggies are priced higher than single to double buggies but they're well worth it if you plan to keep it for a few years. They will also retain some value if sold when your kids have outgrown the buggie.

This feature will allow you to place your child in the most comfortable position for naps or observation. This is particularly important if you have a young child in the rear seat who may prefer to lay back and relax while the older child would prefer to sit and observe their surroundings.

Some brands feature an exclusive seat design that allows the back seat to completely recline to an almost flat position, which is ideal for newborns. For example the iCandy Orange has raised stadium-style seating that can recline both the included toddler seat and the add-on RumbleSeat into various positions so that your children have a a choice of where they will sit, as well as offering an excellent UPF 50+ canopy with windows that peek out.

Wider than twin buggies

They are ideal for siblings with different ages, and you can get around without worrying about your children touching. They are usually a little more spacious with one seat positioned behind the other. The seats can be reclined completely for infants, or put in an upright position for toddlers.

Mountain Buggy Duet is a popular choice. It is the slimmest design that is side-by-side and a footprint like the footprint of a single stroller. 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 can be used from birth and is compatible with a range of car seats and carrycots, meaning it makes an excellent travel system.

The iCandy Wave is another option. It can be folded in either mono or duo mode with just a single click. Its clever frame expands in width to accommodate a second chair and can be used with up to two car seats or carrycots. This makes it an ideal option for older siblings who would like to be seated together. It's a little longer than other models, yet it's light to steer and has soft suspension that can handle kerbs.

There are plenty of 3-wheeler tandems that have inline wheels that offer stability and swift steering. Take a look at Phil and Teds inline models or iCandy Peach and Pear buggies. Most of them can be folded down to the size of one buggy which is useful when you have trouble storing it at home or need to transport it into and out of your car when using public transport.

It's worth bearing in mind that a double-buggy with a wider width will be heavier and bulkier than a single buggy that is smaller So make sure you're getting what you need before you buy. You'll have to get it off and on subways, trains and buses frequently, so it must be easy to use and manage. It is possible that you will need to move the car seat when taking your child to school or to nursery.

The best time to start is when you are born.

There will be a need for a pushchair for the whole family, regardless of whether you're expecting twins or you have a second child after having your first. Double buggies tend to be heavier, bulkier, and more expensive than single strollers. However, they are easier to maneuver in tighter doors or Chicco OHlalà Twin Double Stroller: Lightweight Compact Versatile around obstacles such as curbs. They are also compatible with piggyback ride-along boards (either from the manufacturer or through a separate accessory purchase) so you can transport three children at once.

Tandem pushchairs place 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 function well together. They're not 100% secure. Siblings sitting side-by-side can kick or punch each other and children with different heights may fight over who is sitting higher. A tandem high-low model can solve this problem by elevating the seat to the rear, which prevents your child's older one from being on the bottom and not getting the best view.

The iCandy Wave is a good alternative for parents looking for an adjustable double buggy that can be converted into a carrycot that can fit both the newborn and the older child. It features an intelligent frame that expands in width when you add a second child seat. It can also fold flat for compact storage. The padded seats are comfortable, the straps are easy to fasten and the buckles are among the most impressive we've seen in any of our tests. You can recline both seats independently and the canopy is spacious and large with UPF 50+ protection as well as windows that can be seen from a distance.

The only downside of the iCandy is that it's a bit expensive but a high-quality tandem will last a long time and will retain its resale value, which means you'll probably get back some of the cost in the end. The iCandy doesn't come with the same seating options as our other top selections. It's nevertheless a good option for families who don't want to spend lots of money.
