Buying a Tandem Double Buggy

If you have twins or children very close in age, a tandem double buggie is a great option. They're narrower than side-by-side buggies and ideal for navigating narrow spaces like entrances, on public transportation and on rocky terrain.

There are a variety of options for adding a second seating or making a single stroller double stroller sale. The UPPAbaby V2 is large, beautiful stroller. It is easily changed from a single to a double by adding the Rumble seat. However, it's pricey and less maneuverable than other dual strollers due to the fact that the second seat is located behind the front seat. Nuna Demi Grow provides a similar choice however, it doesn't have storage underneath the seat when used as a double stroller.

Other options include all-terrain twin strollers for newborns buggies as well as fixed-wheel joggers which can be used to accommodate two children. They are generally more expensive, however they're designed to last longer on rough terrain and can have greater resales value.

If you have extremely narrow doors, it may be a good idea to consider a side-byside pushchair, such as the Mountain Buggy Duet which has the benefit of having a footprint that is similar to a single buggy however, it is able to use two seats and car seat adaptors.

Tandem buggies tend to be larger than side-by-side models, and therefore are more difficult to maneuver around and down kerbs.

Another crucial thing to look for is if the backs of the seats can recline independently of each other since this will allow you to put your child in the ideal position for naps or watching.

They're great for siblings of various ages and allow you to get around without worrying about your children touching each other. They're typically a bit longer too with one seat positioned behind the other and with a fully-flat recline option for newborns (or an upright position for toddlers).

From birth, you are a suitable candidate

Double buggies tend to be heavier and bulkier, as well as more expensive than single strollers. However they are also more maneuverable in narrower doors and around obstacles such as curbs. Many are also compatible with piggyback ride-along boards (either from the manufacturer or via a separate accessory purchase) so you can transport three children at once.

Tandem pushchairs Double place one child in the front of the other, so they're generally a better option for families with two children that are close enough in age to function well together. But they're not completely safe Side-by-side chairs can kick or punch one another, and children on different heights can squabble over who should sit higher. This issue can be resolved by a tandem high-low design that elevates the seat at the back. Your child's older will not be seated on the lower part of the car, and won't get much of a look out.
