Buying a Tandem Double Buggy

A tandem smallest double buggy buggy could be a fantastic option when you have twins or children who are close in age. They're narrower than side-by-side buggies and are ideal for maneuvering narrow spaces like doors, on public transport and rocky terrain.

Many also convert into travel systems that take 2 carrycots or car seats. However, they are heavier and longer than single pushchairs, and may not be as stable when as they bump up kerbs.

Convertible

There are many options for adding a second seat or converting a single stroller to double. The UPPAbaby V2 is a large, beautiful stroller. It can easily be changed from a single to a double by adding a seating area with a rumble. It is more expensive and less maneuverable since the second seat is placed on top of the first seat. Nuna Demi Grow provides a similar choice, but it lacks storage under the seat when used as a double stroller.

Other options include twin buggies with all-terrain wheels, and joggers with fixed wheels that can be used to carry two children. They are more expensive, but they are made for long trips on rough terrain, and come with more expensive resales.

Reclining the seat independently

From birth

Tandem pushchairs put one child in front the other. They're a good option for children who are similar in age and are able to get along. They're not completely safe. Siblings who are sitting side-by-side could punch or kick one another, and children of different heights can fight over who sits taller.
