Buying a Tandem Double Buggy

A tandem double buggy can be a great option when you have twins or children who are very close in age. They are smaller than side by side buggies and are ideal for tight spaces like doorways, public transport and rocky terrain.

Some convert into travel systems to use two carrycots or car seats. They are typically heavier, longer and less stable than a single pushchair.

Convertible

If you're looking for a convertible single-to-double stroller or want to add a second seat to an existing one, there are many options to choose from. The UPPAbaby V2 is spacious, gorgeous stroller. It can easily be converted from a single to a double by adding a rumble seat. However, it's pricey and less maneuverable than other dual strollers since the second seat is placed to the left of the front seat. Nuna Demi Grow provides a similar choice however, it doesn't have storage under the seat when used as a double stroller.

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

Reclining the seat independently

If you are looking for a double stroller that can accommodate children of various age groups, you'll need one with an independent recliner for both seats. This allows your child of a higher age to rest while the baby is in the bassinet and vice versa.

You'll also need to consider the width of the pushchair as this will impact the ease of get through doors and on public transport. If your doorways are very 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 tend to be larger than side-by-side models, and therefore are more difficult to maneuver up and down kerbs. However they can be able to accommodate more combinations of car seats/car seats/seats and are an excellent choice for twins and siblings of different age. They are also more expensive than single buggies to double, but they're worth it if you plan on keeping it for many years. They'll also keep some value if sold when your children have outgrown the buggie.

This feature allows you to place your child in an ideal position for naps or observation. This is important when your child is in the back seat and would like to nap while the child in the front prefers to sit up and observe the surrounding.

Some brands have a unique design that allows the back seat of their vehicles to recline fully to a position that is almost flat, ideal for infants. For example the iCandy Orange has raised stadium-style seating that can recline both the toddler seat included and the add-on RumbleSeat into various positions so your kids can have a choice of where ready to grow double stroller sit and also comes with an excellent UPF 50+ canopy with windows that can be seen from afar.

Wider than twin buggies

They are ideal for siblings with different age groups, and they allow you to move around without worrying about your children touching. They're typically a bit longer too, with one seat sitting behind the other, and typically with a fully-flat recline option for babies (or a more upright position for toddlers).

Mountain Buggy Duet is a popular choice. It is the slimmest design of the two-in-ones on the market and a footprint comparable to a single stroller. It comes with an adjustable handle that makes it easier for parents to push and a handbrake which is helpful on steep hills. It can be used from birth and is compatible with a variety of car seats and carrycots, which means it is a great travel system.

The iCandy Wave is another option. It can be folded in duo or mono mode with just one click. The frame's clever design expands widthways to allow for a second seat and can be used with two carrycots or car seats so it's an excellent option for older siblings that want to sit in a group and enjoy the view. It's a little longer than other models, yet it's light to steer and has soft suspension that is able to handle kerbs.

There are plenty of 3-wheeler tandems with inline tires that provide stability and fast steering. Check out Phil and Teds inline models or iCandy Peach and Pear buggies. These can often be folded into a single buggy in case you have a small space at home, or need to transport it from your car to the bus.

It's worth bearing in mind that a double-buggy with a wider width will feel bulkier and heavier than a smaller single buggy So make sure it's what you need before you purchase. You'll need to take it on and off subways, buses, and trains often, so it should be simple to use and manage. It is possible that you will need to move the car seat when taking your child to school or the nursery.

From birth, you're a good candidate

You'll need a stroller for your entire family whether you're expecting twins, or you have another child after you've had your first. double travel stroller buggies are typically heavier and bulkier as well as more expensive than single strollers double. However they are also more maneuverable in tighter doorways, or around obstacles like curbs. Many double buggies are compatible with piggyback boards (available from the manufacturer or as an accessory). This lets you transport three children at the same time.

Tandem pushchairs put one child in front of the other. They're a great option if your children are of similar ages and get along well. However, they're not 100% secure Side-by-side chairs may punch or kick each other, and children who are different heights can argue over who sits higher. A tandem high-low model can solve this issue by elevating the seat at the rear, preventing your older child from being sat on the bottom and not getting the best view.

The iCandy Wave is a great choice for parents looking for an easy-to-use double buggy that converts to fit both a newborn in a carrycot as well as an older child in the main seat. It features a smart frame that expands widthways when you add a second seat. It folds flat to make it a compact twin pushchairs stroller (recommended you read) storage. The padded seats are comfortable, the straps are simple to fasten, and the buckles are among the best we've seen on any of our tests. The seats can be reclined independently and the canopy is spacious and large with UPF 50+ protection and windows that can be seen from a distance.

The only downside of the iCandy is that it's expensive, but a quality tandem will last a long time and maintain its resale value, so you'll likely recoup some of the cost in the end. The iCandy does not have the same seating arrangements as our other top picks. However, it's an excellent choice for families who don't want to spend lots of money.
