Buying a Tandem Double Buggy

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

Many also transform into travel systems that use two carrycots or car seats. They can be heavier, longer and less stable than a single pushchair.

Convertible

There are a variety of options to add a second seat or making a single stroller a double. The UPPAbaby Vista V2 is a spacious, gorgeous stroller that converts easily from a single to a double by adding the rumble seating (available separately). However, it's expensive and less mobile than other double strollers because the 2nd seat is placed to the left of the front seat. The Nuna Demi Grow is a similar model with a wide range of seating options, but does not have storage under the seat when used in doubles mode.

Other options include all-terrain twin buggies and fixed-wheel joggers that can hold two children. They are generally more expensive, however they're designed for long trips over rough terrain and could have more resale value.

Reclining seat recline independently

If you want a double stroller which can accommodate children of different age groups, you'll require one with an independent recliner for both seats. This will allow your older child to be able to relax while your baby is in a bassinet, and vice versa.

It is also important to consider the width of the stroller as this will affect how easy it is to traverse doors and public transportation. If your doors are narrow, you might want to consider a side by side pushchair, such as the Mountain Buggy Duet. It has a footprint that is similar to a single stroller, but can still fit two seats and car seat adaptors.

Tandem buggies are generally smaller than side-byside models and so aren't as easily maneuverable through kerbs and up and down, however, they can accommodate a wider range of car/car/seat combinations, and are a great option for twins or siblings of various age groups. These buggies are more expensive than single buggies to double, but they're worth it if you intend on keeping it for many years. They will also retain a good amount of value if you decide to sell it when your children are old enough to use it.

This feature will allow you to place your child in a comfortable position for naps or observation. This is especially important when you have a young child in the rear seat who will be inclined to lie down and relax while the older child wants to sit up and look around their surroundings.

Some brands feature a unique design for their seats that allows the back seat to completely recline into a nearly flat position which is perfect for babies. For example, the iCandy Orange has raised stadium-style seating and can recline the toddler seat that comes with it and the add-on RumbleSeat into various positions to give your kids a the option of where they want they will sit, and also comes with an excellent UPF 50+ canopy with windows that can be seen from afar.

Wider than twin pushchairs buggies

They are perfect for siblings with different age groups, and you can move around without having to worry about your children touching. They're typically a bit larger too with one seat placed behind the other and offering a fully-flat recline for babies (or a more upright position for toddlers).

A popular option is the Mountain Buggy Duet, which features the slimmest side-by-side design on the market and has a footprint similar to one buggy. It has an adjustable handle that makes it easier for parents to push and a handbrake which is useful on steep hills. It is suitable from birth and is compatible with a range of car seats and carrycots, meaning it is a great travel system.

Another option is the iCandy Wave, which has the convenience of a single click to fold and can be utilized in a duo or mono mode. The frame's clever design can be expanded widthwise to accommodate a second seat and can be used with up to two carrycots or car seats making it a great option for older siblings that wish to sit together and share the view. It's slightly longer than some other models, yet it's light to steer and has soft suspension that is able to handle kerbs.

There are a lot of 3-wheeler inline tandems available such as Phil and Teds inline models or iCandy's Peach and Pear buggies for instance - which offer stability and swift steering. They are often folded into a single buggy if you are limited in space at home or you need to carry it from the car to the bus station.

Be aware that a double-wide buggy is more heavy and more bulkier than one compact buggy. Be sure you know what you want before you buy. It is likely to be used on buses, trains and subways often, so it must be easy to manage and use. It is possible that you will need to move the car seat when taking your child to school or nursery.

From birth, you are an ideal candidate

If you're expecting twins or you have a child following your first, you're likely need to find an appropriate pushchair for the whole family. cheap double pushchair buggies tend to be slightly heavier, bulkier and cost more than single strollers, however they can also be easier to manoeuvre through narrower doors or around obstacles like curbs. Many double buggies can be used with piggyback boards (available from the manufacturer or as an accessory). This allows you to carry three children at once.

Tandem pushchairs put one child ahead of the other. They're a good option for children who are of similar ages and are able to get along. But they're not completely safe: Siblings in side-by-side seats can kick or punch each other, and children with different heights may argue over who sits higher. This problem can be solved by a tandem high-low design that elevates the seat in the rear. Your older child isn't seated at the lower part of the car, and won't get much of a look out.

The iCandy Wave is a great choice for parents looking for an easy-to-use convertible double buggy that can fit both a newborn in a carrycot, and an older child in the main seat. It features a smart frame that expands widthways when you add the second seat and folds down flat to make it a compact storage. The padded buckles, straps and seats are all of the highest quality we have seen in any of our tests. The seats can be reclined independently and the canopies are large and generous with UPF 50+ protection as well as windows that peek out.

The only drawback to the iCandy is that it's a bit on the expensive side but a high-quality tandem will last a long time and retain its resale value, which means you'll probably recoup some of the cost in the long run. It doesn't come with the same variety of seating configurations as others of our top picks however, the iCandy is a good option for families that don't want to spend a fortune.
