Buying a Tandem Double Buggy

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

Some can be converted into travel systems that take two carrycots or child car seats. However, they are heavier and longer than single pushchairs, and may feel less stable bumping up kerbs.

Convertible

Whether you're looking for a convertible single-to-lightweight double pushchair stroller or want to add another seat to an existing one, there are several options available. The UPPAbaby Vista V2 is a large, gorgeous stroller that converts easily from a single stroller to a double by adding the rumble seat (available separately). It's costly and less maneuverable than other dual strollers because the 2nd seat goes behind the front seat. Nuna Demi Grow offers a similar option but lacks storage underneath the seat when it is used as a double pram and pushchair stroller.

Other options include twin buggies that have all-terrain wheels and joggers with fixed wheels that can accommodate two children. They are more expensive but they are designed to last longer on rough terrain and have a higher resale price.

Independent seat recline

If you want a double pushchairs stroller that will accommodate children of various ages, you will need one with independent seat recliner for both seats. This will allow your older child to relax while the baby is in the bassinet and the reverse is true.

You'll also have to consider the width of the pushchair, as this will affect the ease of traverse doors and public transportation. If you have narrow doors, it may be a good idea to consider a side-byside pushchair, such as the Mountain Buggy Duet which has the benefit of having a footprint comparable to a single buggy, however it can use two seats and car seat adaptors.

Tandem buggies are usually slightly longer than side-by-side models, and aren't as easily maneuverable up and down kerbs, but they can accommodate a wider range of seat/carrycot/car seat combinations making them a good option for twins or siblings of different ages. They also tend to be more expensive than single-to-double buggy sale buggies, but are a worthwhile investment if you plan to keep it for years and will have a decent amount of resale value if you decide to sell it off when your children have grown out of it.

Another crucial thing to look for is whether the seat backs can recline independently from one another since this will allow 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 will prefer to lay back and sleep while the older child would prefer to sit up and observe their surroundings.

A few brands have a unique seat design which allows the back seat to completely recline into an almost flat position, which is ideal for infants. For example, the iCandy Orange has raised stadium-style seating and can recline both the toddler seat that comes with it and the additional RumbleSeat to multiple positions, so your kids can have a choice of where to sit as well as providing an excellent UPF 50+ canopy with peekaboo windows.

Wider than twin buggies

They are perfect for siblings with different age groups, and you can move about without worrying about your children touching. They're typically a little longer too, with one seat sitting behind the other and with a fully-flat recline option for newborns (or an upright position for toddlers).

Mountain Buggy Duet is a popular choice. It is the tiniest design that is side-by-side, and a footprint that is similar to one stroller. It features 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 from birth, and can be paired with a range of car seats and carrycots.

Another option is the iCandy Wave, which has the convenience of a single click to fold and can be utilized in a duo or mono mode. The frame's clever design can be expanded to accommodate a second chair and it can be used with two car seats or carrycots so it's an excellent choice for older siblings who want to sit in a group and share the view. It's slightly longer than some other models, but it's easy to steer and has soft suspension to tackle the kerbs.

There are many 3-wheeler tandems with inline wheels that provide stability and fast steering. Check out Phil and Teds inline models as well as iCandy Peach and Pear buggies. They are often folded into a single buggy in case you have a small space at home or you need to transport it from your car to the bus stop.

Be aware that a two-wheeled buggy will be heavier and heavier than a single and double stroller compact buggy. Make sure you know what you want prior to making a purchase. It will be utilized on buses, trains, and subways frequently so it should be easy to manage and use. You may also need to juggle it onto and off the car seat when you take your children to nursery or school so you'll need to know it is able to be maneuvered in tight spaces.

Suitable from birth

There will be a need for a pushchair for the whole family, regardless of whether you're expecting twins or you have a second child after you've had your first. Double buggies tend to be heavier and bulkier, as well as more expensive than single strollers. However they are much easier to maneuver in tighter doors or around obstacles such as curbs. They are also compatible with piggyback ride-along boards (either from the manufacturer or via an additional accessory purchase) which means you can carry three children at a time.

Tandem pushchairs seat one child in the front of the other, and they're generally a better option when you have two children who are close enough in age to be able to live well. However, they're not 100% secure Side-by-side chairs could kick or punch each other, and children on different heights can squabble over who should sit higher. This issue can be resolved by a tandem high-low model that elevates the seat at 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 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 infants and an older child. It has an intelligent frame that increases in size when you add a second child seat. It also folds flat for storage that is compact. The padded seats, straps and buckles are all of the best quality we have encountered in our testing. The seats can be reclined independently, and the canopies are big and spacious with UPF 50+ protection as well as windows that peek out.

The only downside to the iCandy tandem is that it's a bit costly. However, a quality tandem will last for many years and have an attractive resale value which means that in the end, you'll likely recoup a portion of the cost. The iCandy does not have the same seating options as our other top picks. However, it's an excellent choice for families who don't want to spend a lot of money.
