Buying a Tandem Double Buggy If you have twins or children similar in age, a tandem double buggie is a fantastic option. They're a bit smaller than side-byside buggies, and ideal for maneuvering narrow spaces like doors, on public transport and on rocky terrain. Some can be converted into travel systems that take two carrycots or child car seats. However, they can be heavier and longer than single pushchairs and may feel less stable as they bump up kerbs. Convertible There are a variety of options to add a second seat or converting a single stroller to double. The UPPAbaby is a large, beautiful stroller. It is easily converted from a single to a dual by adding a rumble seat. However, it's expensive and less maneuverable than other dual strollers because the 2nd seat goes in front of the front seat. The Nuna Demi Grow is a similar option with great seating flexibility, however it isn't equipped with 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 hold two children. They are more expensive but they are made to last longer on rough terrain and have a higher resale price. Independent seat recline If you are looking for a double stroller that can accommodate children of different ages, you will need one with a recliner that is independent for both seats. This will allow your child's older to sit back and relax while the baby sleeps in the bassinet, and vice versa. It is also important to think about the size of the stroller as this will impact how easy it is to get through doors and on public transportation. If your doors are narrow, you might 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 accommodate two seats and car seat adaptors. Tandem buggies tend to be longer than side by side models, which makes them more difficult to maneuver up and down kerbs. However they can be able to accommodate more combinations of car seats/car seats/seats and can make an excellent choice for twins and siblings of various age groups. They also tend to be more expensive than single-to-double buggies, but are worth the investment if you plan to keep it for many years and have a good amount of resale value should you decide to sell it when your children have grown out of it. Another thing to look out for is if the seat backs are able to recline independently of one another because this allows you to place your child in the ideal position for napping or observation. This is essential if your child is in the back seat and would like to nap while the more mature child prefers to sit up to observe the surrounding. Certain brands come with a unique seat design which allows the back seat to completely recline into a nearly flat position that is perfect for newborns. The iCandy Orange, for example has a stadium-style seating option that can be reclined in multiple positions. It also comes with UPF 50+ canopy and peekaboo windows. Larger than twin buggies It's not necessary to have twins in order to benefit from a larger double buggy. They're perfect for siblings of various age groups. They allow you to go about your day without worrying about your children touching. They are usually a little more spacious with one seat positioned behind the other. The seats can be reclined completely for babies or placed in an upright position for toddlers. Mountain Buggy Duet is a popular choice. It is the tiniest design of the two-in-ones on the market and a footprint that is like the footprint of a single stroller. It comes with an adjustable handle that makes it easier for parents to push and a handbrake that is helpful on steep hills. It is suitable for use right from birth, and can be used with a variety of car seats and carrycots. The iCandy Wave is another option. It folds in mono or duo mode with just one click. The clever frame expands to accommodate the second chair and can be used up to two car seats or carrycots. This makes it a fantastic choice for older siblings that wish to sit together. It's a bit longer than other models, but it still feels light and has soft suspension for kerbs. There are plenty 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. They are often folded into the size of a single buggy which is useful for those who struggle with storage at home or need to transport it into and out of the car when you travel on public transport. It's important to remember that a double-buggy with a wider width will feel bulkier and heavier than a smaller single buggy Make sure that it's what you require before you buy. It is likely to be used on buses, trains, and subways frequently so it should be easy to use and manage. You might also have to juggle it onto and off the car seat when you take your children to school or nursery so you'll need to ensure it is able to be maneuvered in tight spaces. From birth If you're expecting twins, or have a second child after your first, you're likely to need to find an appropriate pushchair for the entire family. Double buggies are typically slightly heavier, bulkier and cost more than single strollers, however they are also more maneuverable through narrower doors or around obstacles such as curbs. They are also compatible with piggyback ride-along boards (either from the manufacturer or as an additional accessory purchase) which means you can carry three children at once. Tandem pushchairs place one child in front of the other, and they're generally a better option for families with two children who are close enough in age to function well together. However, they're not 100% secure Siblings in a side-by-side seat may punch or kick one another, and children who are different heights can argue over who gets to sit higher. A tandem high-low model is able to solve this issue by elevating the seat towards the rear, preventing your child's height from sitting on the bottom and not having any view. The iCandy Wave is a good option for parents who are looking for a convertible double buggy with a carrycot that is able to accommodate both the newborn and the older child. It has a clever frame that expands in width when you add a second seat and folds down to flattish storage. The cushioned seats, straps and buckles are all of the best quality we have seen in our testing. The seats can be reclined independently and the canopy is large and generous with UPF 50+ protection and peekaboo windows. side by side double stroller of the iCandy is that it's a bit expensive, but a quality tandem will last for a long time and will retain its resale value. So you'll probably get back some of the cost over the long term. The iCandy doesn't come with the same seating options as our other top selections. However, it's an excellent choice for families who don't wish to spend lots of cash.
