Buying a Tandem Double Buggy

If you have twins or children very close in age, a tandem double buggie is a fantastic option. They're narrower than side-by-side buggies, and ideal for maneuvering tight spaces, such as doorways, on public transport and on rocky terrain.

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

Convertible

If you're looking for convertible stroller that can be converted from a single to a best double strollers or to add a second seat to an existing one, there are many options to choose from. The Vista V2 from UPPAbaby is a spacious, gorgeous stroller that easily converts from a single stroller to a double by incorporating the rumble seat (available separately). However, it's pricey and less maneuverable than other dual strollers since the second seat is placed to the left of the front seat. The Nuna Demi Grow is a comparable model with great seating versatility but isn't equipped with storage under the seat when used in doubles mode.

Other alternatives include twin buggies with all-terrain wheels, and joggers with fixed wheels that can hold two kids. These tend to be more expensive, but they're made to last longer on rough terrain and could have greater resales value.

Independent seat recline

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

Consider the width of your stroller to determine the ease of you to get through doors and on public transport. If your doors are narrow, you might think about a side-by-side pushchair like the Mountain Buggy Duet. It has a footprint similar to a single stroller, but can still fit two seats and car seat adaptors.

Tandem buggies are usually smaller than side-byside models and therefore aren't easy to manoeuvre up and down kerbs, however, they can accommodate a wider range of seat/carrycot/car seat combinations and are a great option for twins or siblings of various age groups. They are also more expensive than single-to-Double buggy newborn buggies but are a worthwhile investment if you intend to keep it for a long time and will have a decent amount of resale value if you decide to sell it when your children are out of it.

Another important feature to look out for is if the seat backs can recline independently of each other because this allows you to place your child in the ideal position for napping or observation. This is especially important if you have a younger child in the rear seat, who will be inclined to lie down and relax while the more mature child wants to sit up and look around their surroundings.

Some brands have a unique design that allows the back of their vehicles to fully recline into a position that's nearly flat, which is ideal for babies. For example, the iCandy Orange has raised stadium-style seating and can recline the included toddler seat as well as the optional RumbleSeat to multiple positions, so that your children have a a choice of where to sit, as well as offering an excellent UPF 50+ canopy that has windows that peek out.

Wider than twin buggies

They are great for siblings of different age groups, and they allow you to move about without having to worry about your children touching. They're typically a bit larger, with one seat sitting behind the other and providing a flat recline for babies (or a more upright position for toddlers).

A popular choice is the Mountain Buggy Duet, which features the slimmest side-by-side design available and has the same footprint as a single buggy. It also features an adjustable handle, making it easy for parents of different heights to push and a handbrake, which is helpful when climbing steep hills. It is suitable for use right 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 either mono or duo mode with just a single click. Its innovative frame can be expanded widthwise to accommodate a second chair and can be used with up to two car seats or carrycots making it a great option for older siblings that wish to sit together and share the view. It's a little larger than other models, but it isn't heavy and has a soft suspension for the kerbs.

There are plenty of 3-wheeler tandems that have inline wheels that offer stability and quick steering. Take a look at Phil and Teds inline models as well as iCandy Peach and Pear buggies. These can often be folded into one buggy if you are limited in space at home or you need to carry it from the car to the bus.

Be aware that a double-wide buggy will be heavier and more bulkier than one that is compact. Be sure you know what you want before you buy. You'll have to get it on and off subways, buses, and trains 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 within small spaces.

From birth, you're an ideal candidate

Whether you're expecting twins or you have a child following your first, you're going need to find a pushchair that fits the whole family. Double buggies tend to be heavier and bulkier as well as more expensive than single strollers. However they are also more maneuverable in narrower doorways or around obstacles such as curbs. They are also compatible with piggyback ride-along boards (either from the manufacturer or through an accessory purchase) so you can transport three children at the same time.

Tandem pushchairs place one child in front of the other. They're a great option if your children are close in age and are good friends. However, they're not 100% secure Siblings in a side-by-side seat can kick or punch one another, and children with different heights may argue over who should sit higher. This problem can be solved by a tandem high-low design that elevates the seat in the back. Your older child isn't seated at the lower part of the car, and won't be able to get an opportunity to see.

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 and an older child in the main seat. It features a clever frame which can be expanded in size when you add the second hand double buggy child seat. It also folds flat for storage that is compact. The padded seats are comfortable, the straps are easy to fasten and the buckles are among the most compact double stroller comfortable we've seen on any of our tests. The canopy is large in size, UPF 50+ protection, as well as a windows that peek out. Both seats can recline independently.

The only downside to the iCandy tandem double stroller is that it's quite expensive. However, a good tandem will last you for many years and have the highest resale value, so at the end of the day you'll probably recoup a portion of the cost. It doesn't come with the same selection of seating options as some of our other top choices however the iCandy is a great choice for families who don't wish to spend a lot.
