Buying a Tandem Double Buggy

A tandem double stroller with infant car seat buggy could be a great option when you have twins or children who are very close in age. They're smaller than side-by-side buggies, and ideal for maneuvering tight spaces, such as doors, on public transport and on rocky terrain.

Some can be converted into travel systems that take two carrycots or car seats for children. They are typically heavier, longer and less stable than a single pushchair.

Convertible

If you're looking for convertible stroller that converts from single to double or to add a second hand double buggy seat to an existing one, there are many options to choose from. The UPPAbaby Vista V2 is a big, beautiful stroller that can easily be converted from a single stroller to double by adding the rumble seating (available separately). It is more expensive and less maneuverable because the second seat is located on top of the first seat. The Nuna Demi Grow is a comparable model with great seating flexibility, however it isn't equipped with storage under the seat when used in doubles mode.

Other alternatives include all-terrain twin buggy buggies as well as fixed-wheel joggers that can hold two children. They tend to be more expensive, but they're made for long trips over rough terrain, and may have a higher resale value.

Independent seat recline

If you want a double buggy with car seat stroller which can accommodate children of different age groups, you'll need one with independent seat recliner for both seats. This will allow your child's older to rest in the back while the baby sleeps in the bassinet and vice versa.

Consider the size of your pushchair and consider the ease of you to navigate through doors and on public transport. If you have very narrow doorways then it might be worth considering a side-by-side pushchair like the Mountain Buggy Duet which has the benefit of having a footprint similar to a single buggy, however it can take 2 seats and car seat adaptors.

Tandem buggies are generally larger than side-by-side models, making them more difficult to maneuver up and down kerbs. However they can also accommodate a wider range of combinations of car seats/car seats/seats and can make a great option for twins and siblings of various ages. They can also be more expensive than single-to-double buggies, but are a worthwhile purchase if you plan to keep it for many years and have a good amount of resale value should you sell it on after your children have grown out of it.

Another thing to look for is if the backs of the seats can recline independently from one another since this will allow you to put your child in the best position for naps or watching. This is particularly important if you have a younger child in the rear seat, who will prefer to lay back and relax while the more mature child wants to sit and observe their surroundings.

A few brands have an exclusive seat design that allows the back seat to fully recline into an almost flat position, which is ideal for infants. The iCandy Orange, for example has a stadium-style seating option that can be reclined into various positions. It also offers UPF 50+ sun protection and windows that peek out.

More spacious than twin buggies

It's not necessary to have twins to benefit from a bigger double buggy. They're great for siblings of different age groups and let you go about your day without having to worry about your children touching. They're typically a bit longer too with one seat placed behind the other, and typically with a fully-flat recline option for infants (or an upright position for toddlers).

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

The iCandy Wave is another option. It folds in duo or mono mode in a single click. The clever frame can be expanded to accommodate a second chair and can be used up to two car seats or carrycots. This makes it an ideal option for older siblings who would like to sit together. It's a bit longer than other models, yet it's light to steer and comes with soft suspension that can handle kerbs.

There are a lot of 3-wheeler inline tandems that are available Check out Phil and Teds' inline models or iCandy's Peach and Pear buggies for instance that provide stability and quick steering. They are often folded into the size of a single buggy, which is helpful if you struggle with storage at home or need to transport it into and out of the car when using public transport.

It's worth bearing in mind that a large double to single buggy buggy will be heavier and bulkier than a compact single buggy So make sure you're getting what you need before you buy. You'll have to get it on and off trains, buses and subways regularly so it needs to be easy to operate and manage. You may need to juggle the car seat on and off while taking your child to school or the nursery.

Suitable from birth

You'll need a pushchair for your entire family whether you're expecting twins or if you have a child after you've had your first. Double buggies are typically larger, heavier and more expensive than single strollers. However, they can also be more maneuverable in narrower entrances or around obstacles such as curbs. They are also compatible with piggyback ride-along boards (either from the manufacturer or via an accessory purchase) so you can transport three children at a time.

Tandem pushchairs place one child in front of the other. They're a great choice if your children are of similar ages and get along well. However, they're not 100% secure Siblings in a side-by-side seat can kick or punch each other, and children with different heights may argue over who gets to sit higher. This issue can be addressed by a tandem high-low model that elevates the seat at the back. Your child's older one will not be seated on the bottom of the car and won't get much of an opportunity to see.

The iCandy Wave is a great option for parents looking for an easy-to-use convertible double buggy that can accommodate a newborn in a carrycot and an older child in the main seat. It features an intelligent frame that can be expanded in size when you add a second child seat. It also folds flat to make it a compact storage. The padded seats, straps and buckles are all of the highest quality we have seen in our testing. You can recline both seats independently and the canopy is big and spacious with UPF 50+ protection as well as windows that can be seen from a distance.

The only drawback to the iCandy is that it's on the expensive side, but a quality tandem will last for a long time and retain its resale value. So you'll probably get back some of the cost over the long term. The iCandy doesn't come with the same seating options as our other top choices. It's nevertheless an excellent choice for families who don't wish to spend much cash.
