Buying a Tandem Double Buggy

If you have twins or children close in age, a tandem double buggy is a great choice. They are narrower than side-by-side buggies and are ideal for narrow spaces like doors, public transport and rough terrain.

Some are able to be converted into travel systems that use two carrycots or car seats for children. They are often 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 are 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. It is more expensive and less maneuverable because the second seat is located in front of the first seat. Nuna Demi Grow provides a similar choice however, it doesn't have storage underneath the seat when it's used as a double stroller.

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

Reclining the seat independently

If you require a double buggy that can carry children of different age groups, then you'll require a model with an recline that is independent for both seats. This allows your child of a higher age to be able to relax while your baby is in a bassinet, and reverse.

Think about the size of your pushchair and consider the ease of you to navigate through doors and public transportation. If your doors are narrow, you might think about a side-by-side pushchair such as the Mountain Buggy Duet. It has a footprint that is similar to a single stroller, but it can accommodate two seats and car seat adaptors.

Tandem buggies are usually smaller than side-byside models and therefore aren't easy to manoeuvre around kerbs however they can be able to accommodate a bigger range of car/car/seat combinations, and are a great option for twins or siblings of different age. These buggies are priced higher than single buggies to double but they're well worth the cost if you plan on keeping it for Www.pushchairsandprams.uk many years. They'll also keep some value if sold when your children are old enough to use the buggie.

Certain brands have a unique design that allows the back seat of their vehicles to recline fully to a position that is almost flat, perfect for babies. The iCandy Orange, for example, has stadium-style seating that can be reclined into multiple positions. It also offers UPF 50+ sun protection and windows that peek out.

More spacious than twin buggies

There's no need to have twins to benefit from a bigger double buggy - they're ideal for siblings of different age groups. They allow you to move around without worrying about your children touching each other. They're usually a bit longer too, with one seat sitting behind the other and usually offering a fully-flat recline for babies (or an upright position for toddlers).

A popular option is the Mountain Buggy Duet, which has the slimmest side-byside design on the market and has a footprint similar to one buggy. It also features an adjustable handle, which makes it easy for parents of different heights to push as well as an adjustable handbrake, which is useful when tackling difficult terrains. It 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 can be folded in either mono or duo mode with just one click. The frame's clever design can be expanded widthwise to allow for a second seat and can be used with two car seats or carrycots so it's an excellent option for older siblings who wish to sit together and share the view. It's a little longer than other models, yet it's light to steer and comes with soft suspension that is able to handle kerbs.

There are a variety of 3-wheeler tandems that have inline wheels that provide stability and fast steering. Take a look at Phil and Teds inline models or iCandy Peach and Pear buggies. They are often folded into one buggy if you have limited space at home or you need to transport it from the car to the bus stop.

It's important to keep in mind that a double-buggy with a wider width will be heavier and bulkier than a single buggy that is smaller Make sure that you're getting what you need before you purchase. It will be used on buses, trains, and subways frequently so it should be easy to use and manage. You may also have to move it on and off the car seat when you take your children to school or nursery so you'll need to ensure it can be easily manoeuvred in tight spaces.

From birth, you're a suitable candidate

Whether you're expecting twins or you have a child following your first, you're likely to need to find a stroller that can accommodate the whole family. Double buggies are typically heavier and bulkier, as well as more expensive than single strollers. However they are also more maneuverable in tighter doorways, or around obstacles like curbs. Many Hauck Duett 2 Double Pushchair - Black Reversible Compact buggies are compatible with piggyback boards (available from the manufacturer or as an accessory). This allows you to carry three children at once.

Tandem pushchairs put one child in the front of the other, so they're generally a better option for families with two children who are close enough in age to be able to live well together. However, they're not 100% secure Siblings in a side-by-side seat could kick or punch each other, and kids who are different heights can argue over who gets to sit higher. A tandem high-low model can solve this problem by elevating the seat towards the rear, which will prevent your older child from sitting on the bottom and not getting the best 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, and an older child in the main seat. It features an intelligent frame that expands in width when you add a second child seat. It folds flat for storage that is compact. The padded buckles, straps and seats are all of the highest quality we have seen in our testing. The seats can be reclined independently and the canopies are spacious and large with UPF 50+ protection as well as windows that peek out.

The only downside to the iCandy tandem is that it is a bit expensive. However, a good My Babiie MB33 Tandem Pushchair - Dani Dyer will last for many years and have a high resale price, so in the end you'll likely recover a portion of the cost. It doesn't come with the same variety of seating configurations as the other top picks however, the iCandy is a good option for families who don't wish to shell out a lot of money.
