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 a bit smaller than side-byside buggies and are ideal for maneuvering narrow spaces like doors, on public transport and rocky terrain.

Many transform into best travel double stroller systems that include two carrycots or car seats. They are often heavier, longer and less stable than a single pushchair.

Convertible

There are a variety of options for adding a second seating or converting a single stroller to a double. The UPPAbaby Vista V2 is a spacious, gorgeous stroller that can easily be converted from a single to double by adding the rumble seat (available separately). It is more expensive and less maneuverable since the second seat is positioned behind the first seat. Nuna Demi Grow provides a similar choice, but it lacks storage under the seat when it is used as a double Stroller double.

Other options include all-terrain twin stroller side by side buggies and fixed-wheel joggers that can accommodate two children. They tend to be more expensive, but they're made to last longer on rough terrain, and may have a higher resale value.

Reclining the seat independently

If you're looking for a double stroller that can accommodate children of different age groups, you'll require one with a recliner that is independent for both seats. This will allow your child's older to sit back and relax while the baby sleeps in the bassinet, and reverse.

Think about the width of your stroller to determine the ease of you to get through doors and on public transportation. If you have narrow doors, it may be worthwhile to consider a side-by-side pushchair like the Mountain Buggy Duet which has the benefit of having a footprint similar to a single best twin buggy, however it can accommodate two seats and car seat adaptors.

Tandem buggies are generally a little longer than side-by-side models and so aren't as easy to manoeuvre through kerbs and up and down, however they can be able to accommodate a wider range of car seat/car seat combinations, making them a good option for twins or siblings of various age. They are more expensive than single to double buggies however they're worth the cost if you plan on keeping it for many years. They also hold an impressive amount of value when sold once your children have outgrown it.

Another important feature to look for is if the backs of the seats can recline independently of one another because this allows you to place your child in the ideal position for naps or watching. This is especially important if you have a young child in the rear seat who may want to lie back and sleep while the older child wants to sit up and observe their surroundings.

Certain brands have a unique design that allows the back seat of their vehicles to recline into a position that is nearly flat, which is ideal for newborns. For instance the iCandy Orange has raised stadium-style seating that can recline both the toddler seat included and the add-on RumbleSeat to multiple positions, to give your kids a the option of where they want they will sit, as well as providing an excellent UPF 50+ canopy with windows that peek out.

More spacious than lightweight twin buggy buggies

You don't need to have twins to benefit from a wider double buggy. They're great for siblings of different age groups. They allow you to get around without worrying about your children touching. They're typically a more spacious with one seat positioned behind the other. The seats can be reclined fully for newborns or in an upright position for toddlers.

A popular choice is the Mountain Buggy Duet, which has the slimmest side-byside design available and features the same footprint as one buggy. It also features an adjustable handle, making it easier for parents of various heights to push, and a handbrake, which is helpful when climbing steep hills. It is suitable for use from birth, and can be used with a wide range of car seats and carrycots.

The iCandy Wave is another option. It can be folded in either mono or duo mode with just one click. The clever frame expands to accommodate an additional chair and can be used with up to two car seats or carrycots. This makes it a great option for older siblings who would like to be seated together. It's a bit longer than other models, but it's easy to steer and has soft suspension that can handle the kerbs.

There are also a variety of 3-wheeler inline tandems that are available - check out Phil and Teds' inline models or iCandy's Peach and Pear buggies for instance - which provide stability and quick steering. They are often folded into one buggy if you have limited space at home or need to transport it from your car to the bus station.

Be aware that a double buggy from birth wide buggy will be heavier and heavier than one that is compact. Be sure you know what you want prior to making a purchase. You'll be taking it on and off trains, buses and subways often, so it should be easy to use and manage. You may also have to move it on and off the car seat when taking your children to school or nursery so you'll need to be aware it's easy to maneuver in small spaces.

From birth

There will be a need for a pushchair for your entire family, whether you're expecting twins or you have a second child after you've had your first. Double buggies are generally heavier and bulkier, as well as more expensive than single strollers. However they are also more maneuverable in tighter doorways, or around obstacles like curbs. Many double buggies work with piggyback boards (available from the manufacturer or as an add-on). This allows you to transport three children simultaneously.

Tandem pushchairs put one child ahead of the other. They're a good option if your children are similar in age and get along well. However, they're not 100% secure: Siblings in side-by-side seats can kick or punch one another, and children with different heights may argue over who gets to sit higher. This issue can be addressed by a tandem high-low design that elevates the seat at the rear. Your child's older will not be seated on the lowest part of the car and won't get much of an opportunity to see.

The iCandy Wave is a good option for parents who are looking for an adjustable double buggy that can be converted into a carrycot that is able to accommodate both the newborn and the older child. It has a clever frame that can be expanded in width when you add the second seat. It folds flat for compact storage. The seats are cushioned and comfortable, the straps are easy to fasten and the buckles are among the most impressive we've seen in any of our tests. You can recline both seats independently and the canopies are large and generous with UPF 50+ protection and windows that peek out.

The only downside to the iCandy tandem is that it's a bit expensive. However, a good tandem will last for a long time and will have the highest resale value, so at the end of the day you'll probably recoup some of the cost. The iCandy doesn't have the same seating arrangements as our other top picks. It's nevertheless an excellent choice for families that don't want spend much cash.
