Buying a Tandem Double Buggy

If you have twins or children close in age, a tandem double buggie is a great option. They are smaller than side by side buggies and are perfect for tight spaces like doors, public transport and rocky terrain.

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

Convertible

There are many options to add a second seat or converting a single stroller to double. The UPPAbaby V2 is a spacious, gorgeous stroller. It can be easily changed from a single to a double buggy for twins - simply click for source, by adding the Rumble seat. It is more expensive and less maneuverable because the second seat is placed on top of the first seat. Nuna Demi Grow offers a similar option, but it lacks storage underneath the seat when it is used as a double stroller.

Other options include lightweight twin stroller buggies with all-terrain wheels and joggers with fixed wheels that can accommodate two kids. They are more expensive however, they are designed for long-distance trips over rough terrain, and come with more expensive resales.

Reclining the seat independently

If you want a double stroller that can accommodate children of different ages, you will need one with independent seat 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 vice versa.

Take into consideration the width of your stroller and consider the ease of you to get through doors and on public transportation. If your doorways are very narrow, you might be considering a side-by-side pushchair, such as the Mountain Buggy Duet. It has a footprint similar to a single stroller however it can accommodate two seats and car seat adaptors.

Tandem buggies are generally larger than side-by-side models, making them more difficult to maneuver up and down kerbs. However they can also accommodate a wider range of combinations of car seats/car seats/seats and are an excellent choice for twins and siblings of various age groups. These buggies are more expensive than single buggies to double, but they're worth it if you intend to keep it for a few years. They will also retain a good amount of value when sold once your children have outgrown it.

Another thing to look out for is if the seat backs are able to recline independently from one another as this will let you put your child in the best position for napping or observation. This is particularly important if you have a young child in the rear seat who will want to lie back and sleep while the more mature child wants to sit and observe their surroundings.

Certain brands come with a unique design for their seats that allows the back seat to completely recline into a nearly flat position that is perfect for babies. For example the iCandy Orange has raised stadium-style seating that can recline both the toddler seat that comes with it and the additional RumbleSeat to multiple positions, so your kids can have the option of deciding where they will sit, as well as offering an excellent UPF 50+ canopy that has windows that can be seen from afar.

Larger than twin stroller with car seats buggies

They are perfect for siblings with different age groups, and you can move around without worrying about your children touching. They're usually a bit larger with one seat placed behind the other, and typically offering a fully-flat recline for babies (or a more upright position for toddlers).

A popular option is the Mountain Buggy Duet, which features the slimmest side-by-side design available and has the same footprint as one buggy. It also features an adjustable handle, making it easier for parents of different heights to push, and an adjustable handbrake, which can be useful when you have to climb difficult terrains. It can be used from birth and is compatible with a range of car seats and carrycots, meaning it is a great travel system.

The iCandy Wave is another option. It can be folded in mono or duo mode in a single click. The frame's clever design can be expanded to accommodate a second seat and it can be used with up to two carrycots or car seats which makes it an ideal option for older siblings that want to sit in a group and share the view. It's a little longer than other models but still feels light to steer and has soft suspension to tackle kerbs.

There are a lot of 3-wheeler inline tandems that are available such as Phil and Teds inline models or iCandy's Peach and Pear buggies, for instance - which provide stability and quick steering. Often these can be folded down to the size of a single buggy, which is helpful when you have trouble storing it at home or have to transport it into and out of the boot on public transport.

It's important to keep in mind that a large double buggy will feel bulkier and heavier than a single buggy that is smaller So make sure it's what you need before you buy. It will be used on trains, buses and subways often, so it should be easy to use and manage. You may need to juggle the car seat when taking your child to school or to nursery.

Suitable from birth

You'll need a pushchair for your entire family, whether you're expecting twins or you have a second hand double buggy child after you've had your first. Double buggies are typically heavier and bulkier, as well as more expensive than single strollers. However they are also 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 a separate accessory purchase) to allow you to transport three children at once.

Tandem twin pushchairs place one child in front of the other, so they're often a better choice when you have two children who are close enough in age to function well. But they're not foolproof Side-by-side chairs can kick or punch each other, and kids with different heights may argue over who should sit higher. A tandem high-low model can solve this problem by elevating the seat to the rear, which prevents your older child from being sat on the bottom and not having much of a view.

The iCandy Wave is a good option for parents who are looking for a convertible double buggy that includes a carrycot that can accommodate both a newborn and an older child. It features an intelligent frame that can be expanded in size when you add a second child seat. It folds flat for storage that is compact. The padded seats, straps and buckles are all of the best double strollers quality we have seen in any of our tests. The canopies are large in size, UPF 50+ protection, and windows that peek out. Both seats can be reclined independently.

The only drawback of the iCandy is that it's a bit on the expensive side but a high-quality tandem will last for a long time and retain its resale value, so you'll probably recoup some of the cost in the long run. The iCandy doesn't come with the same seating arrangements as our other top picks. However, it's an excellent choice for families that don't want spend lots of money.
