Buying a Tandem Double Buggy

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

Some can be converted to travel systems that take two carrycots or child car seats. However, they can be heavier and longer than single pushchairs, and may not be as stable when in bumping up kerbs.

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 a variety of options available. The Vista V2 from UPPAbaby is big, beautiful stroller that converts easily from a single to double pushchair from birth by incorporating the rumble seat (available separately). However, it's expensive and less mobile than other double strollers due to the fact that the second seat is placed behind the front seat. Nuna Demi Grow is a similar model but lacks storage under the seat when it is used as a double stroller.

Other options include all-terrain twin buggies and fixed-wheel joggers that can hold two children. These tend to be more expensive but they're designed for long trips over rough terrain and could have more resale value.

Reclining the seat independently

If you're looking for a double stroller that will accommodate children of various age groups, you'll require one with a recliner that is independent for both seats. This allows your child of a higher age to be able to relax while your baby is in the bassinet, and reverse.

You'll also need to consider the width of the pushchair as this will affect the ease of get through doors and on public transportation. If you have extremely narrow doors, it may be worth considering a side-by-side pushchair, such as the Mountain Buggy Duet which has the advantage of having a footprint that is similar to a single buggy, however, it is able to accommodate two seats and car seat adaptors.

Tandem buggies tend to be longer 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 car seats, carrycots and seats and can make the perfect choice for twins and siblings of various ages. They are more expensive than single-to-double buggies, but they're worth it if you plan to keep it for a number of years. They'll also keep an impressive amount of value if you decide to sell it when your kids have outgrown the buggie.

This feature will allow you to put your child in the most comfortable position for naps or to observe. This is especially important when you have a young child in the rear seat who will prefer to lay back and relax while the older child would prefer to sit up and look around their surroundings.

Some brands have a unique design that allows the back seat of their vehicles to recline into a position that is almost flat, perfect for newborns. The iCandy Orange, for example is a stadium-style seat that can be reclined to several positions. It also has a UPF 50+ canopy and peekaboo windows.

Larger than twin buggies

It's not necessary to have twins to benefit from a wider thule double stroller buggy - they're ideal for siblings of various age groups. They allow you to go about your day without having to worry about your children touching. They're usually a bit longer too, with one seat sitting behind the other and 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 comparable to the footprint of a single stroller. It also comes with an adjustable handle, making it easier for parents of different heights to push as well as a handbrake that is helpful when climbing 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 folds in duo or mono mode with just one click. Its clever frame can be expanded widthwise to accommodate a second seat and can be used with up to two carrycots or car seats so it's an excellent option for older siblings who want to sit in a group and enjoy the view. It's a little longer than other models but still feels easy to steer and has soft suspension to tackle the kerbs.

There are plenty of 3-wheeler tandems that have inline wheels that offer stability and quick steering. Check out Phil and Teds inline models or iCandy Peach and Pear buggies. Most of them can be folded down to size a single buggy which is useful when you have trouble storing it at home or frequently need to carry it in and out of the car when you travel on public transport.

Be aware that a two-wheeled buggy is more heavy and bulkier than a single compact double buggy buggy. Be sure to know what you want prior to making a buy. You'll need to take it off and on subways, buses, and trains often, so it should be simple to use and manage. You may also have to juggle it onto and off the car seat when taking your children to nursery or school so you'll need to be aware it's easy to maneuver in tight spaces.

From your birth, you are a suitable candidate

Whether you're expecting twins or have a second child after your first, you're going to require an appropriate pushchair for the entire family. Double buggies tend to be heavier, bulkier, and more expensive than single strollers. However, they are more maneuverable in narrower doorways, or around obstacles like curbs. Many are also compatible with piggyback ride-along boards (either from the manufacturer or as an additional accessory purchase) which means you can carry three children at once.

Tandem pushchairs place one child ahead of the other. They are a good option if your children are similar in age and get along well. But they're not completely safe Siblings in a side-by-side seat could kick or punch one another, and children on different heights can squabble over who gets to sit higher. A tandem high-low model could solve this problem by elevating the seat towards 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 an adjustable double buggy that can be converted into a carrycot that can fit both infants and an older child. It has an innovative frame that expands in width when you add the second child seat. It also folds flat for compact double stroller storage. The padded seats, straps and buckles are all of the highest quality we have seen in our testing. The canopies are large in size and UPF 50+ protection, and peekaboo window. Both seats are reclined independently.

The only drawback to the iCandy is that it's a bit expensive, but a quality tandem will last for a long time and will 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 arrangements as our other top selections. However, it's a good option for families who don't wish to spend lots of cash.
