Which Double Tandem Pushchair is Best For Your Family?

If you're planning for twins or another child there are plenty of products that can help make life with kids on the move more comfortable. One of them is the double tandem pushchair.

Most brands offer double buggy models as part of their range, from Phil & Teds to Baby Jogger. They can be side-by-side or convertible models inline.

Stability

Whether you have twins or children who are close in age, a double tandem pushchair makes travelling with two of them much more enjoyable and comfortable. There are so many styles and configurations that it can be difficult to decide which one is best for your family. Some are better suited to running, while others can accommodate a third person when you add 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 around narrow entrances and aisles for shopping. In this case, you might be best to go with a stadium-style model such as the Bugaboo Donkey or Mountain Buggy Duet that allow children to either face either you or the other based on the configuration.

Tandem models, which seat one behind the other, are more manageable but still not as stable than single strollers or car seats for children. They can be difficult to push up curbs and they may have less storage space than a side-by-side pushchair.

You should try out the thule double stroller with both seats seated, since that's how you'll use it the most. Test the ease with which it is to navigate and steer the vehicle, particularly in tight turns or with the front wheels that can swivel. You should also check the brakes, as they can be difficult to operate when both child seats are connected.

If you're looking for a high-quality double stroller that does everything you need, then look no further than Phil & Teds Sport Double. This sleek compact pushchair can convert from a single to a tandem in just two easy steps. The carrycot and seat can be used with the parent facing or facing each other. Its air-filled tires as well as all-wheel suspension allow it to conquer various terrains. The seat comes with a handy storage basket under the seat, but this is partially blocked by the second child's seat.

Comfort

If you have twins or a newborn and toddler, there is a double pushchair that will fit your family. They can be used to transport two children in tandem, but some can be converted to a single pushchair (though this usually requires the removal of one seat). They tend to be larger than a single twin buggy, but they do offer flexibility and value for price.

In our recent double pushchair reviews, we surveyed testers to rate each model based on a variety of aspects, including comfort, ease of handling and how well it folded. They also rated the ease of taking out and putting in the car seat, and whether it could be used along with the baby carrier.

The Stroller & Co City Tour 2 Double is a great example of a flexible, comfortable and lightweight double stroller. The reviewers who reviewed it praised its large UPF 50+ canopy, which provides real shade and a peekaboo feature. Both seats can be reclined into multiple positions by pressing an arrow. One seat can be made to lie flat, so babies can sleep peacefully in the carrycot that is attached to it.

The reversible seat lining with bamboo that is naturally antibacterial, on one side and soft Jersey on the other is an excellent feature. The ability to be folded in just one hand is an excellent feature, particularly when you have to watch two small children.

They are more expensive but can offer greater flexibility because they can fit through narrow doors and aisles. They can be difficult to navigate up kerbs and heavy to push, but they do have an front-loaded load that can help balance the overall weight.

Flexibility

A double tandem pushchair is a great addition to any family, whether you have twins or a toddler and a baby. This will keep your children content by preventing them from arguing or waking each other up. This type of buggy may also be great if you plan to use it on public transportation, as it is easier to fit into the available space.

Certain models offer the ultimate flexibility, and can be converted back to single mode when your child is ready for strollers without having to buy an entirely new one. The UPPAbaby V2 Double can fit two infant car seats in the back, as well as a riding board, making it perfect for three children. It can be used with a stroller and a rolling suitcase for the parents which allows you to travel light while still taking everything your family needs.

The Joovy Caboose Ultralight Graphite double stroller has a distinct design than the other strollers, but has many of the same features as our top selections. It folds easily and can be inserted into the majority of doors. The basket under the carriage is also taller which makes it easier to load groceries. The rear seat is covered to keep your youngster warm in winter.

A tandem is smaller than a side-byside, making it difficult to navigate narrow aisles in shops or on busy walking routes. It can be easier to maneuver on rocky terrain than a conventional double pushchair. Some of these prams can be difficult to steer, particularly when your child is larger.

A double pushchair that is inline, however, is a better option for the majority of families. It can usually be used as a tandem pram when your children are young, but can also convert into a tandem once they're older. Some models, like the iCandy Peach 3+ can accommodate two iSize car seats. This gives you maximum flexibility and value.

Storage

The biggest downside to double buggy is that it can take up more space on public transport and can be difficult to navigate through narrow doors and lifts. They also tend to be more expensive, particularly side-by-side models with a second passenger in the front.

Some models, such as the Joolz Geo or the Uppababy Vista V2 can be converted to tandem pushchairs. This is a great option if you're planning on having another baby at some point and also extends the life of your buggy. It's not easy to convert it back to a single seat when your older child grows out of it.

Stadium Duo is a lightweight, compact dual stroller that is ideal for urban adventures. It features a one-click, fold-in-one-hand and an automatic storage lock, plus it's compatible with 2 SnugEssentials or SnugRide i-Size infant car seats* to ensure seamless transitions. The stadium-style seating design allows both children to enjoy the view. It is possible to connect your infant car seats to the front or back of the stroller with one click. You can also bring all the essentials for your day out in the large basket for shopping and tray for parents. The swivel and suspension wheels ensure superior manoeuvrability and smooth riding, while the five-point safety belts that are included in both seats increase your little ones' security.
