Which Double Tandem Pushchair is Best For Your Family?

There are many products that can make the lives of a parent with two children or twins easier. One of them is the double tandem pushchair.

The majority of brands have double buggy models as part of their product range, ranging from Phil and Teds to Baby Jogger. They are available as inline or side-by-side convertible models.

Stability

If you have twins, or children of similar age, a double tandem pushchair makes traveling with two children much more enjoyable and comfortable. There are so many styles and configurations available that it is difficult to choose the right one for your family. Some are better suited to running, while others are able to accommodate a third child by adding buggyboards. Which ones are the most stable, but?

The CYBEX Gazelle is a fantastic option for children who are the same age. However they can be a challenge to maneuver through narrow doors and aisles for shopping. In this scenario you might prefer a stadium model like the Bugaboo Donkey, or Mountain Buggy Duet. These models let your children face either you or eachother depending on their setup.

Tandem models, which seat one behind the next, are more manageable but still not as stable than single strollers or car seats for children. They aren't easy to lift up curbs and they may have less storage space than a side by side pushchair.

To gain a real impression of the stability of a double, you need to try it out with both seats in use because that is the way you will use it the most often. Test how easy it is for you to navigate and steer the vehicle, particularly in tight corners or using the front wheels that can swivel. It is recommended to test the brakes as well because they may be difficult to operate when both child seats are in use.

If you're looking for a high-quality double stroller at a reasonable price that can do it all take a look at the Phil & Teds Sport Double. This stylish compact pushchair can be changed from a single model to tandem in a few easy steps. The seat and carrycot can be used as a parent-facing or facing one another. The air-filled tires and all terrain double buggy-wheel suspension allow it to take on a variety of terrains. The seat comes with an excellent storage basket beneath the seat, but this is partially restricted by the second child's seat.

Comfort

If you have twins, or a newborn and toddler there is a double pushchair to fit your family. They can generally transport two children side-by-side but some convert into single pushchairs (although this usually involves taking off one seat). They are typically wider than a single buggy however, they are generally able to provide ultra flexibility and a good value for price.

In our most recent double pushchair reviews, we asked testers to score each model on a range of factors including ride comfort, ease of use and how it folded. They also evaluated the ease of putting in and taking out the car seat, and whether it could be used with a baby carrier.

The Stroller & Co City Tour 2 Double is a great example of a flexible, comfortable and lightweight dual stroller. Our reviewers praised its generous UPF 50+ canopy, which provides real shade with the option of peekaboo. Both seats can be reclined into multiple positions by pressing an arrow. One seat can be made to lie flat so that the baby can sleep in the carrycot above it.

The reversible seat lining with bamboo that naturally antibacterial, on one side and soft Jersey on the other side is an great feature. The possibility of being folded in one hand is also an excellent feature, particularly when you have to watch two little ones.

Side-by-side models are typically more expensive than tandem buggies, however they can provide ultimate flexibility since they are made to fit into narrow aisles and doors. They can be difficult to push and difficult to maneuver up kerbs but most do have an front-loaded weight that helps help balance the load.

Flexibility

A double tandem pushchair can be an excellent addition to any family, regardless of whether you have twins or an infant. It can assist you in avoiding the irritation of children who wake each other or fighting while out and about, thereby keeping them both happy. This kind of buggy could also be great for those who plan to take it on public transport as it is easier to fit into the space available.

Certain models are extremely flexible, allowing you to convert back to single mode when your child is ready to use strollers. This allows you to save money on an entirely new stroller. The UPPAbaby Vista Double, for example can accommodate two infant car seats as well as a riding board at the back which makes it suitable for three children. It can be used with a stroller and a roll-away suitcase for parents which allows you to travel light and still taking everything your family requires.

The Joovy Caboose Ultralight Graphite double stroller is different than its counterparts, but it offers many of the same features we've outlined as our top selections. It folds easily and can fit through most doorways. The basket that is under the carriage is also higher, making it easier to load groceries. Its rear seat is also protected to keep your kid warm during winter.

A side-byside pram is bigger than a tandem, which makes it more difficult to navigate walkways or narrow aisles in shops. However, it can be more maneuverable on rocky terrain than a standard pushchair. Some of these pushchairs can be difficult to steer, particularly when your child is heavier.

A double pushchair is a better choice for most families. It can be used as twin prams when your children are young but it could also be transformed into a tandem when they reach a certain age. Certain models, such as the iCandy Peach 3+ can accommodate two iSize car seats. This gives you maximum flexibility and value.

Stores

The main disadvantage of double buggy is that they take up more space on public transport, and it can be more difficult to steer through narrow doorways and lifts. They also cost more and are more expensive for side-by-side models, especially those that have a second seat in the in the front.

Certain models can be converted from a single Pushchairs And Prams to tandem models such as the Joolz Geo and the Uppababy Vista V2. This is a great option if you plan to have another baby in the future. It also increases the life span of your buggy. It's not easy to convert it back to a single seat when your older child grows out of it.
