Buying a Tandem Double Buggy

A tandem double buggy could be a fantastic option for twins or children who are close in age. They're smaller than side-by-side buggies and ideal for navigating narrow spaces like doorways, on public transport and on rocky terrain.

Many convert into travel systems to take 2 carrycots or car seats. They are typically heavier, longer and less stable than a single pushchair.

Convertible

There are a variety of options to add a second seat or making a single stroller a double buggy newborn. The Vista V2 from UPPAbaby is a big, beautiful stroller that can easily be converted from a single stroller to a Double Strollers With Peek-A-Boo Windows by incorporating the rumble seat (available separately). It is more expensive and less maneuverable because the second seat is positioned on top of the first seat. The Nuna Demi Grow is a similar model with great seating versatility but does not have storage under the seat when used in doubles mode.

Other options include twin buggies with all-terrain wheels, and joggers with fixed wheels that can accommodate two kids. These are more expensive, however, they are designed to last longer on rough terrain, and come with higher resale prices.

Reclining the seat independently

If you're looking for a double buggy that is able to transport children of various age groups, then you'll want one that has independent seat recline for both seats. This allows your child of a higher age to be able to relax while your baby is sleeping in a bassinet and reverse.

You'll also need to consider the width of the pushchair as this will affect the ease of navigate through doors and on public transportation. If your doorways are very narrow, you may think about a side-by-side pushchair like the Mountain Buggy Duet. It has a footprint that is similar to a single stroller however can still accommodate two seats and car seat adaptors.

Tandem buggies are usually smaller than side-byside models and so aren't as difficult to maneuver up and down kerbs, however, they can accommodate a bigger range of seat/carrycot/car seat combinations so can be a good option for twins or siblings of various ages. They are also more expensive than single-to-double buggies, but are worth the purchase if you plan to keep it for years and will have a decent amount of resale value if you sell it on when your children have grown out of it.

Another thing to look for is if the backs of the seats can recline independently of one another as this will let you place your child in the best double strollers position for napping or observation. This is crucial when your child is in the back seat and would like to take a nap while the child in the front prefers to sit and observe the surrounding.

Some brands feature a unique seat design which allows the back seat to fully recline into a nearly flat position that is perfect for infants. The iCandy Orange, for example is a stadium-style seat that can be reclined to several positions. It also comes with a UPF 50+ canopy and windows that peek out.

Larger than twin umbrella stroller buggies

They are great for siblings with different ages, and you can move around without having to worry about your children touching. They're typically a larger with one seat in front of the other. The seats can be reclined fully for newborns or in an upright position for toddlers.

A popular option is the Mountain Buggy Duet, which has the slimmest side-byside design on the market and has an identical footprint to a single buggy. It also features an adjustable handle, making it easier for parents of various heights to push, and an adjustable handbrake, which is helpful when climbing difficult terrains. It is suitable for use right from birth, and can be paired with a wide range of car seats and carrycots.

Another alternative is the iCandy Wave, which has the convenience of a single click to fold and is able to be used in duo or mono mode. Its clever frame expands widthways to allow for a second seat and it can be used with two carrycots or car seats so it's an excellent choice for older siblings who want to sit together and enjoy the view. It's a bit longer than other models but still feels light to steer and comes with soft suspension that can handle kerbs.

There are a variety of 3-wheeler tandems with 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. 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 frequently need to carry it in and out of your car on public transportation.

It's worth bearing in mind that a wide double buggy will feel heavier and bulkier than a smaller single buggy Make sure that it's what you require before purchasing. It is likely to be used on trains, buses and subways often, so it must be easy to operate and use. You may also need to juggle it onto and off the car seat when taking your children to school or nursery so you'll need to ensure it is able to be maneuvered in small spaces.

Suitable from birth

Whether you're expecting twins or you have a child following 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 much more maneuverable in tighter doors and around obstacles such as curbs. Many double buggies can be used with piggyback boards (available from the manufacturer or as an add-on). This allows you to carry three children at the same time.

Tandem pushchairs put one child in front of the other. They're a good choice if your children are similar in age and are good friends. However, they're not 100% secure Side-by-side chairs can kick or punch each other, and children who are different heights can argue over who gets to sit higher. A tandem high-low model is able to solve this problem by elevating the seat at the rear, which prevents your child's older one from being on the bottom and not having the best view.

The iCandy Wave is a great option for parents looking for an easy-to-use double buggy that converts to fit a newborn into a carrycot, and an older child in the main seat. It features a smart frame that expands widthways when you add a second seat, and folds flat to make it a compact storage. The padded buckles, straps and seats are all of the highest quality we have seen in our tests. The canopies are large in size, UPF 50+ protection, as well as a the window is peekaboo. Both seats are reclined independently.

The only drawback to the iCandy tandem is that it's a bit expensive. However, a good tandem will last for many years and have a high resale price, so in the end you'll likely recover some of the cost. It doesn't come with the same variety of seating options as the other top choices, but the iCandy is a good option for families who don't wish to shell out a lot of money.
