Buying a Tandem Double Buggy

A tandem double buggy could be a great option for twins or children who are close in age. They're a bit smaller than side-byside buggies, and ideal for maneuvering tight spaces such as doors, on public transport and on rough terrain.

Some can be converted to travel systems that take two carrycots or child car seats. They can be heavier, longer and less stable than a single pushchair.

Convertible

If you're looking for a convertible stroller that converts from single to double or to add an additional seat to an existing one, there are several options available. The Vista V2 from UPPAbaby is a spacious, gorgeous stroller that can easily be converted from a single stroller to a double by adding the rumble seating (available separately). However, it's pricey and less mobile than other double strollers since the second seat is located to the left of the front seat. Nuna Demi Grow is a similar model, but it lacks storage under the seat when used as a double stroller.

Other options include all-terrain twin buggies as well as fixed-wheel joggers that can accommodate two children. They tend to be more expensive but they're designed for long-distance trips over rough terrain, and may have more resale value.

Independent seat recline

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

Consider the width of your pushchair to determine how easy it is for you to maneuver through doors and on public transport. If you have very narrow doorways then it might be worth considering a side-by-side pushchair, such as the Mountain Buggy Duet which has the advantage of having a footprint comparable to a single buggy however it can accommodate two seats and car seat adaptors.

Tandem buggies are generally larger than side-by-side models, and therefore are more difficult to maneuver around and down kerbs. However they can be able to accommodate more combinations of seats/carrycots/car seats and can make an excellent choice for twins and siblings of different ages. These buggies are more expensive than single-to-double buggies however they're worth it if you plan to keep it for a few years. They will also retain an impressive amount of value if you decide to sell it when your children are old enough to use the buggie.

Another important feature to look for is whether the seat backs can recline independently of one another as this will let you put your child in the best position for napping or observation. This is essential if your child is in the back seat and wants to rest while the child in the front prefers to sit up to observe the surrounding.

Some brands feature a unique design for their seats that allows the back seat to fully recline to an almost flat position which is perfect for infants. For example, the iCandy Orange has raised stadium-style seating and can recline both the included toddler seat as well as the optional RumbleSeat into various positions to give your kids a the option of where they want they will sit, as well as offering an excellent UPF 50+ canopy that has windows that peek out.

Wider than twin stroller with car seats buggies

They are great for siblings of different age groups, and they allow you to get around without worrying about your children touching. They're typically a little larger, with one seat sitting behind the other and usually offering a fully-flat recline for babies (or a more upright position for toddlers).

Mountain Buggy Duet is a popular option. It is the slimmest design that is side-by-side, and a footprint like a single stroller. It comes with an adjustable handle that makes it easier for parents to push and a handbrake which can be useful on hills that are steep. It is suitable for use right from birth, and can be paired with a 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 the second chair and can be used to accommodate up to two car seats or carrycots. This makes it a fantastic option for older siblings who would like to be seated together. It's a bit larger than other models, but it still feels light and has a comfortable suspension for curbs.

There are also a variety of 3-wheeler inline tandems available such as Phil and Teds inline models or iCandy's Peach and Pear buggies, for example that provide stability and quick steering. Most of them can be folded into the size of one buggie which is useful when you have trouble storing it at home or have to carry it in and out of the boot when using public transportation.

It's important to keep in mind that a lightweight double stroller-buggy with a wider width will feel heavier and bulkier than a smaller single buggy So make sure it's what you require before you purchase. You'll need to take it on and off subways, buses, and trains often, so it should be easy to use and manage. You may need to juggle the car seat on and off when you take your child to school or nursery.

From birth

If you're expecting twins or have another child after your first, you're likely to require a stroller that can accommodate the whole family. Double buggies are generally larger, heavier and cost more than single strollers. However, they can also be more maneuverable in narrower doorways or around obstacles like curbs. Many are also compatible with piggyback ride-along boards (either from the manufacturer or through an additional accessory purchase) to allow you to transport three children at once.

Tandem pushchairs place one child in front the other. They're a good option for children who are close in age and get along well. But they're not foolproof Side-by-side chairs may punch or kick one another, and children on different heights can squabble over who should sit higher. A tandem high-low model could solve this problem by elevating the seat at the rear, which will prevent your child's height from sitting on the bottom and not getting much of a view.

The iCandy Wave is a good choice for parents looking for a convertible double seat stroller buggy that includes a carrycot that can fit 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 to flattish storage. The cushioned seats are comfortable, the straps are simple to fasten, and the buckles some of the best twin stroller we've seen on any of our tests. The seats can be reclined independently and the canopy is large and generous with UPF 50+ protection as well as windows that can be seen from a distance.

The only downside of the iCandy is that it's a bit expensive however, a good tandem will last for a long time and will retain its resale value, so you'll probably recoup some of the cost over the long term. The iCandy doesn't come with the same seating arrangements as our other top picks. However, it's an ideal choice for families who don't want to spend much money.
