Buying a Tandem Double Buggy

A tandem double buggy can be a great choice for twins or children who are close in age. They're a bit smaller than side-byside buggies and ideal for navigating narrow spaces like doorways, on public transport and rocky terrain.

Many also convert into travel systems to include two carrycots or car seats. However, they are heavier and longer than single pushchairs, and might feel less stable when bumping up kerbs.

Convertible

There are many options to add a second seat or converting a single stroller to double jogging stroller for Infants. The Vista V2 from UPPAbaby is spacious, gorgeous stroller that can easily be converted from a single stroller to cheap double buggy by adding the rumble seating (available separately). However, it's pricey and less maneuverable than other dual strollers because the 2nd seat goes behind the front seat. Nuna Demi Grow is a similar model, but it lacks storage underneath the seat when it is used as a double stroller.

Other alternatives include all-terrain twin stroller buggies, as well as fixed-wheel joggers which can be used to accommodate two children. These are more expensive, however, they are designed for long-distance trips over rough terrain and have a higher resale price.

Reclining the seat independently

If you require a double buggy to carry children of different ages, you'll require a model with an recline independent for both seats. This will allow your older child to rest in the back while the baby sleeps in the bassinet and vice versa.

Think about the size of your pushchair, as this will determine how easy it is for you to navigate through doors and on public transport. If your doorways are very narrow, you may want to consider a side-by-side pushchair like the Mountain Buggy Duet. It has a footprint that is similar to a single stroller, but it can accommodate 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 also accommodate a wider range of combinations of car seats, carrycots and seats and can make the perfect choice for twins and siblings of various age. They can also be more expensive than single-to-double buggies, but are a worthwhile investment if you plan to keep it for a long time and will have a decent amount of resale value in the event that you sell it on after your children have grown out of it.

Another important feature to look for is whether the seat backs can recline independently of each other as this will let you place your child in the best double stroller position for naps or watching. This is especially important when you have a child younger than in the rear seat who will want to lie back and relax while the more mature child wants to sit up and observe their surroundings.

Certain brands come with a unique seat design which allows the back seat to completely recline into an almost flat position which is perfect for infants. The iCandy Orange, for example has a stadium-style seating option that can be reclined to several positions. It also comes with UPF 50+ canopy and peekaboo windows.

Larger than twin buggies

You don't need to have twins to benefit from a wider double buggy - they're ideal for siblings of different age groups and let you get around without having to worry about your children touching. They're usually a bit larger too with one seat positioned behind the other, and typically with a fully-flat recline option for babies (or an upright position for toddlers).

It has an adjustable handle that makes it easier for parents to push, and a handbrake, which is helpful on steep hills. It is suitable to use from birth and can be paired with a wide range of car seats and carrycots.

The iCandy Wave is another option. It can be folded in duo or mono mode with just a single click. The frame's clever design can be expanded to accommodate a second chair and can be used with two car seats or carrycots which makes it an ideal choice for older siblings who want to sit in a group and share the view. It's a bit larger than other models, but it still feels light and has soft suspension for kerbs.

They are often folded down to the size of one buggie, which is helpful if you struggle with storage at home or frequently need to lug it in and out of the boot when you travel on public transportation.

It is likely to be utilized on buses, trains and subways frequently, so it should be easy to use and manage. You may need to juggle the car seat while taking your child to school or to nursery.

From birth, you're an ideal candidate

If you're expecting twins or have another child after your first, you're going need to find a stroller that can accommodate the whole family. double buggy for twins buggies tend to be heavier, bulkier, and more expensive than single strollers. However they are also more maneuverable in tighter 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 seat one child in the front of the other, and they're often a better choice for families with two children that are close enough in age to get along well. They're not completely safe. Siblings who are sitting side-by-side could punch or kick each other and children of different heights can fight over who sits higher. This issue can be resolved by a tandem high-low model that raises the seat to the back. Your child's older will not be sitting at the bottom of the car and won't get much of an opportunity to see.

The canopy is large in size with UPF 50+ protection, and windows that peek out. Both seats are reclined independently.

The only drawback to the iCandy tandem is that it is a bit expensive. However, a good tandem will last you for years and retain a high resale price, so at the end of the day, you'll likely recoup some of the cost. It doesn't have the same variety of seating options as others of our top picks however, the iCandy is a good choice for families that don't want to shell out a lot of money.
