Which Double Tandem Pushchair is Best For Your Family?

When you're preparing for twins or another child, there are plenty of products available to make life with kids on the move easier. One of these is the double tandem pushchair.

From Phil & Teds to Baby Jogger, most brands offer a double stroller in their range of products. They are available in line or side-by-side convertible models.

Stability

If you have twins or children who are close in age, a double pushchair from birth tandem pushchair makes traveling with two children much easier and more comfortable. There are so many designs and configurations that it is difficult to choose the right one for your family. Some are better suited for jogging, while others can accommodate a third person when you add a buggyboard. Which ones are the most stable but?

The CYBEX Gazelle is an excellent option for transporting children the same age. They can be difficult to navigate through narrow doors or aisles of shopping. In this scenario, you may prefer an arena model, such as the Bugaboo Donkey, or Mountain Buggy Duet. These models let your children either face you or another depending on their setup.

Tandem models, which seat one behind the next is more manageable, but they aren't as stable as single strollers or child car seats. They can also be difficult to navigate around from curbs, and they may not have as much storage than a side-by-side pushchair.

It is recommended to test the double with both seats in place since that's how you'll be using it most. You should check whether it is easy to navigate and steer, especially in tight corners or when using the front wheels that swivel. It is a good idea to test the brakes as well because they may be difficult to operate if the child and adult seats are both attached.

If you're looking for a top-quality double stroller that can do it all, look no further than Phil and Teds Sport Double. This stylish compact pushchair can convert from a single to an asymmetrical model in just few steps. The seat and carrycot recline and can be used parent-facing or facing each other, and the air-filled tyres and all-wheel suspension make it perfect for tackling a variety of terrains. The seat has an excellent storage basket beneath the seat, however this is partially blocked by the second child's seat.

Comfort

There is a double stroller suitable for every family, whether you have twins, a toddler or a newborn. They can be used to transport two kids side-by-side, but many can be converted to one pushchair (though this usually requires the removal of one seat). Most are wider than a single stroller, however, they are a an excellent value and flexibility.

In our latest double stroll reviews, we asked testers for their opinions on a variety of things, including ride comfort, handling ease and how well the stroller folded. They also noted the ease of it to get the car seat in and out, and whether it could be used with a baby carrier.

The Stroller & Co City Tour 2 Double is an excellent example of a comfortable, flexible and light dual stroller. Our reviewers appreciated the spacious UPF 50+ canopy which offers real shade and comes with a peekaboo window, while both seats recline into a variety of positions with just the press of the button. One seat can be set to lay flat so that babies can sleep in the carrycot above it.

The reversible seat liner made of bamboo, which is naturally antibacterial on one side, and soft Jersey on the other side is an great feature. Our test subjects also appreciated the fact that you can fold it with one hand, which is a big benefit when you have two young children to watch.

Side-by-side models are generally more expensive than tandem buggies, however they offer the most flexibility as they are usually made to fit into narrow aisles and doors. They aren't easy to move up kerbs, and are heavy to push, but they do have an inclined front load that helps balance the overall weight.

Flexibility

Whether you're looking to keep your twins together or have a toddler and newborn, a double tandem pushchair can be a valuable addition to your family. It will reduce the stress of children who wake one another up or fighting out and about, thereby keeping them both happy. This kind of buggy is also ideal for those who plan to use it on public transportation because it is more easily incorporated into the space available.

Some models are ultra flexible, allowing you to convert back to single mode when your child is ready to use a stroller. This lets you save money on an entirely new stroller. The UPPAbaby Vista double buggy newborn, for example, can take two infant car seats and a riding board in the back which makes it perfect for three children. It can even be utilized with a stroller seat and a suitcase that can roll for the parents which allows you to travel light while still bringing everything your family requires.

The Joovy Caboose Ultralight Graphite is a distinct style of double stroller compared to the other models, yet it has the same features you'll find in our top-rated picks. We like the fact that it can be folded with a hand and fits easily through doors, and also that the undercarriage basket is higher to make it easier to store your shopping in. The rear seat is also protected, so your child will be protected in the winter.

A tandem is narrower than a side-by-side, making it difficult to navigate narrow aisles in shops or busy footpaths. However, it's more maneuverable on rocky terrain than a standard pushchair. Some of these pushchairs can be difficult to steer, particularly when your child weighs more.

A double pushchair that is inline, on the other hand is the best option for families with multiple children. It can be used as a twin stroller side by side pram when your children are young, but it can also be converted into a tandem as they grow older. Some models, like the iCandy Peach 3+, can accept two i-Size car seats, giving you the ultimate flexibility and value for money.

Stores

The most significant disadvantage of a double buggy may be that it takes up more room on public transport, and is harder to maneuver through narrow doorways or lifts. They also cost more and are more expensive for side-by-side models, especially those 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 can be a good option in the event that you're planning to have another baby at some point and also extends the life of your buggy. However, it could be difficult to convert it back to a single once your older child outgrows it.
