Buying a Tandem Double Buggy

A tandem double buggy can be a fantastic option if you have twins, or children who are close in age. They are smaller than side by side buggies and are great for small spaces such as doors, public transport and rough terrain.

Many convert into travel systems to use two carrycots or car seats. However, they are heavier and longer than single pushchairs and may feel less stable bumping up kerbs.

Convertible

If you're looking for a convertible stroller that can be converted from a single to a double or to add another seat to an existing one, there are a variety of options available. The UPPAbaby V2 is a large, beautiful stroller. It is easily converted from a single to a dual by adding an Rumble seat. However, it's pricey and less mobile than other double strollers due to the fact that the second seat goes in front 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 options include all-terrain twin buggies, as well as fixed-wheel joggers that can hold two children. They are generally more expensive, but they're made for long trips over rough terrain and can have more resale value.

Reclining seat recline independently

If you require a double buggy that is able to carry children of different ages, you'll require a model with an recline independent for both seats. This will allow your child's older to rest in the back while the baby is in the bassinet, and the reverse.

Take into consideration the width of your pushchair and consider how easy it is for you to get through doors and public transport. If your doors are narrow, you may be considering a side-by-side pushchair like the Mountain Buggy Duet. It has a footprint that is similar to a single stroller, but can still fit two seats and car seat adaptors.

Tandem buggies tend to be longer than side by side models, making them more difficult to maneuver around and down kerbs. However, they can accommodate more combinations of car seats/car seats/seats and can make a great option for twins and siblings of various age groups. These buggies are priced higher than single to double buggies, but they're worth it if you plan to keep it for a number of years. They will also retain a good amount of value if you decide to sell it when your children have outgrown it.

Another crucial thing to look for is if the backs of the seats can recline independently from one another since this will allow you to place your child in the best lightweight double stroller position for naps or watching. This is especially important if you have a young child in the rear seat who may be inclined to lie down and sleep while the older child wants to sit and observe their surroundings.

Certain brands have a distinctive design that allows the back of their vehicles to fully recline to a position that is nearly flat, which is ideal for infants. For example, the iCandy Orange has raised stadium-style seating and can recline the toddler seat included and the add-on RumbleSeat into multiple positions so your kids can have the option of where they want to sit, as well as offering an excellent UPF 50+ canopy with windows that can be seen from afar.

Wider than twin buggies

It's not necessary to have twins in order to benefit from a wider double buggy - they're ideal for siblings of different ages and allow you to move around without having to worry about your children touching each other. They're usually a bit larger too with one seat placed behind the other and usually with a fully-flat recline option for newborns (or a more upright position for toddlers).

A popular option is the Mountain Buggy Duet, which has the slimmest side-byside design available and has an identical footprint to a single buggy. It features an adjustable handle that makes it easier for parents to push and a handbrake, which is helpful on steep hills. It is suitable from birth and is compatible with a range of car seats and carrycots, meaning it's a great travel system.

The iCandy Wave is another option. It can be folded in either mono or duo mode with just one click. The frame's clever design expands widthways to accommodate a second chair and can be used with two car seats or carrycots which makes it an ideal option for older siblings who want to sit together and enjoy the view. It's slightly longer than some other models but still feels light to steer and has soft suspension that is able to handle kerbs.

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

It's worth bearing in mind that a double buggy side by side-buggy with a wider width will feel bulkier and heavier than a compact single buggy So make sure you're getting what you need before you buy. You'll have to get it on and off subways, buses, and trains frequently, so it must be easy to operate and manage. It is possible that you will need to move the car seat when taking your child to school or to nursery.

From birth, you're a good candidate

If you're expecting twins, or have another child after your first, you're likely to require an appropriate pushchair for the entire family. Double buggies tend to be a bit heavier, bulkier and cost more than single strollers. However, they are also easier to maneuver in narrower entrances 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) which means you can carry three children at once.

tandem double stroller pushchairs seat one child in front of the other, and they're usually a better option when you have two children that are close enough in age to be able to live well together. They're not completely safe. Siblings sitting side-by-side can punch or kick one another and children with different heights could argue over who sits higher. A tandem high-low model is able to solve this issue by elevating the seat at the rear, preventing your child's height from being on the bottom and not having much of a view.

The iCandy Wave is a great alternative for parents who want an easy-to-use convertible double buggy that can fit both a newborn in a carrycot, and an older child in the main seat. It has a clever frame which expands in width when you add a second child seat. It folds flat to make it a compact Twin Stroller storage. The padded straps, buckles, and seats are all of the highest quality we have seen in our tests. The canopy is large in size and UPF 50+ protection, as well as a peekaboo window. Both seats can recline independently.

The only downside of the iCandy is that it's a little on the expensive side but a high-quality tandem will last a long time and will retain its resale value, so you'll probably recoup some of the cost in the long run. It doesn't have the same variety of seating configurations as some of our other top picks, but the iCandy is a good choice for families that don't want to shell out a lot of money.
