Buying a Tandem Double Buggy

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

Some are able to be converted into travel systems that use two carrycots or car seats for children. However, they are 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 single-to-double stroller (linked web page) or want to add another seat to an existing one, there's several options available. The UPPAbaby is a large, beautiful stroller. It is easily changed from a single to a dual by adding the Rumble seat. It is more expensive and less maneuverable due to the fact that the second seat is placed in front of the first seat. Nuna Demi Grow offers a similar option, but it lacks storage underneath the seat when it's used as a double buggy that converts to single stroller.

Other alternatives include all-terrain twin buggies and fixed-wheel joggers which can be used to accommodate two children. They are more expensive however, they are designed to last longer on rough terrain and come with a higher resale price.

Reclining the seat independently

If you want a double stroller that will accommodate children of different age groups, you'll require one with an independent recliner for both seats. This allows your child of a higher age to rest in the back while the baby sleeps in the bassinet, and the reverse.

It is also important to think about the size of the pushchair as it will impact the ease of navigate through doors and on public transport. If you have extremely narrow doorways then it might be a good idea to consider a side-byside pushchair, such as the Mountain Buggy Duet which has the benefit of having a footprint that is similar to a single buggy, however, it is able to use two seats and car seat adaptors.

Tandem buggies generally are a little longer than side-by-side models and therefore aren't easy to manoeuvre around kerbs however, they can accommodate a wider variety of car/car/seat combinations, making them a good option for twins or siblings of various ages. These buggies are priced higher than single-to-double buggies however they're worth the cost if you plan on keeping it for many years. They also hold a good amount of value if sold when your kids have outgrown it.

This feature allows you to place your child in a comfortable position for naps or observation. This is especially important if you have a child younger than in the rear seat who will prefer to lay back and sleep while the older child would prefer to sit up and look around their surroundings.

Certain 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 infants. The iCandy Orange, for example, has stadium-style seating that can be reclined into several positions. It also has a UPF 50+ canopy and peekaboo windows.

Larger than twin buggies

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

A popular option is the Mountain Buggy Duet, which has the slimmest side-byside design available and features a footprint similar to a single buggy. It also comes with an adjustable handle, which makes it easier for parents of different heights to push and a handbrake that is helpful when climbing difficult terrains. It can be used from birth and is compatible with a range of car seats and carrycots, meaning it's a great travel system.

Another option is the iCandy Wave, which has the convenience of a single click to fold and is able to be used in mono or duo mode. The frame's clever design expands in width to accommodate a second chair and can be used up to two car seats or carrycots. This makes it an ideal option for older siblings who would like to sit together. It's a little longer than other models, yet it's light to steer and has soft suspension that can handle kerbs.

There are plenty of 3-wheeler tandems with inline wheels that offer stability and quick steering. Check out Phil and Teds inline models, or iCandy Peach and Pear buggies. They are often folded into one buggy if you have limited space at home, or need to carry it from the car to the bus station.

Be aware that a double-wide buggy will be heavier and more bulkier than one that is most compact double stroller. Make sure you know what you want before you purchase. You'll be taking it on and off subways, buses, and trains often, so it should be simple to use and manage. You might also have to juggle it on and off the car seat while taking your children to nursery or school so you'll need to ensure it is able to be maneuvered within small spaces.

From birth

You'll need a stroller for the whole family, whether you're expecting twins or if you have a child after you've had your first. Double buggies are typically larger, heavier and more expensive than single strollers, but they are also easier to manoeuvre in narrower entrances or around obstacles such as 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 simultaneously.

Tandem pushchairs put one child in front of the other. They are a good option if your children are of similar ages and are able to get along. They're not completely safe. Siblings seated side-by-side may kick or punch each other and children of different heights may fight over who is sitting higher. A tandem high-low model is able to solve this problem by elevating the seat to the rear, which will prevent your child's height from sitting on the bottom and not getting the best view.

The iCandy Wave is a great option for parents looking for an easy-to-use double buggy that converts to accommodate a newborn in a carrycot and an older child in the main seat. It features a clever frame that can be expanded in width when you add the second seat. It folds flat for compact storage. The cushioned seats are comfortable, the straps easy to fasten and the buckles some of the best we've seen on any of our tests. The seats can be reclined independently and the canopy is spacious and large with UPF 50+ protection and windows that can be seen from a distance.

The only downside of the iCandy is that it's on the expensive side however, a good tandem will last for a long time and maintain 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. It's nevertheless an ideal choice for families who don't wish to spend a lot of money.
