Buying a Tandem Double Buggy

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

Some can be converted into travel systems that can take two carrycots or child car seats. However, they are heavier and longer than single pushchairs and might feel less stable when as they bump up the kerbs.

Convertible

Whether you're looking for a convertible single-to-double stroller or want to add a second seat to an existing one, there's several options available. The UPPAbaby V2 is large, beautiful stroller. It can easily be converted from a single to a dual by adding an Rumble seat. It's costly and less maneuverable than other dual strollers due to the fact that the second seat goes in front of the front seat. Nuna Demi Grow offers a similar option but lacks storage underneath the seat when it's used as a double stroller.

Other options include lightweight twin stroller buggies with all-terrain wheels as well as joggers that have fixed wheels that can accommodate two kids. They are generally more expensive, but they're made for long-distance trips over rough terrain and could have more resale value.

Independent seat recline

If you require a double buggy that is able to transport children of different age groups, then you'll require a model with an recline that is independent for both seats. This will allow your older child to rest in the back while the baby sleeps in the bassinet and vice versa.

Take into consideration the width of your stroller, as this will determine how easy it is for you to navigate through doors and on public transport. If your doors are narrow, you may think about a side-by-side pushchair, such as the Mountain Buggy Duet. It has a footprint similar to a single stroller however can still fit two seats and car seat adaptors.

Tandem buggies tend to be longer than side by side models, and therefore are more difficult to maneuver up and down kerbs. However they can be able to accommodate more combinations of seats/carrycots/car seats and are a great option for twins and siblings of various age groups. They can also be more expensive than single-to-double buggies but are a good investment if you plan to keep it for a long time and have a good amount of resale value in the event that you decide to sell it when your children are out of it.

This feature will allow you to place your child in the most comfortable position for naps or to observe. This is crucial when your child is in the back seat and would like to nap while the child in the front prefers to sit up and observe the surroundings.

Some brands have a unique design that allows the back of their vehicles to fully recline into a position that is almost flat, perfect for babies. The iCandy Orange, for example has a stadium-style seating option that can be reclined to several positions. It also has UPF 50+ sun protection and peekaboo windows.

More spacious than twin stroller side by side buggies

You don't need to have twins in order to benefit from a larger double pram stroller buggy - they're ideal for siblings of different ages and allow you to move around without having to worry about your children touching. They're typically a little longer too with one seat positioned behind the other and providing a flat recline for babies (or an upright position for toddlers).

Mountain Buggy Duet is a popular option. It is the slimmest design side-by-side on the market and a footprint that is similar to the footprint of a single stroller. It also comes with an adjustable handle, which makes it easy for parents of different heights to push and an adjustable handbrake, which can be useful when you have to climb difficult terrains. It is suitable for use from birth, and it can be combined with a wide range of car seats and carrycots.

Another option is the iCandy Wave, which has an easy one-click fold and can be used in mono or duo mode. Its clever frame expands widthways to accommodate a second chair and can be used with two car seats or carrycots so it's an excellent option for older siblings that want to sit in a group and share the view. It's a bit longer than other models, but it feels light and has soft suspension for curbs.

There are also a variety of 3-wheeler inline tandems available - check out Phil and Teds' inline models or iCandy's Peach and Pear buggies, for example - which provide stability and quick steering. They are often folded into a single buggy in case you have a small space at home or need to transport it from your car to the bus stop.

Be aware that a two-wheeled buggy will be heavier and bulkier than a single compact buggy. Be sure you know what you want before you buy. It will be used on buses, trains and subways often, therefore it must be simple to operate and use. You may also have to juggle it onto and off the car seat while taking your children to school or nursery so you'll need to be aware it can be easily manoeuvred in tight spaces.

The best time to start is when you are born.

If you're expecting twins, or have another child after your first, you're likely to need to find an appropriate pushchair for the whole family. thule double stroller buggies are typically larger, heavier and cost more than single strollers. However, they can also be more maneuverable in narrower doorways or around obstacles like curbs. They are also compatible with piggyback ride-along boards (either from the manufacturer or as an additional accessory purchase) so you can transport three children at a time.

Tandem pushchairs place one child in front of the other, and they're generally a better option if you have two kids that are close enough in age to get along well together. They're not completely safe. Siblings seated side-by-side may punch or kick one another and children with different heights can fight over who sits taller. A tandem high-low model can solve this problem by elevating the seat at the rear, preventing your child's older one from being on the bottom and not having much of a view.

The iCandy Wave is a good choice for parents looking for a convertible lightweight double pushchair buggy with a carrycot that can fit both infants and an older child. It has an intelligent frame that expands in width when you add the second child seat. It also folds flat for compact storage. The seats are cushioned and comfortable, the straps easy to fasten, and the buckles some of the most comfortable we've seen on any of our tests. The canopies are large in size, UPF 50+ protection, and a windows that peek out. Both seats can be reclined independently.

The only drawback to the iCandy tandem is that it's a bit expensive. However, a good tandem will last for a long time and will have a high resale price, so in the end, you'll likely recoup a portion of the cost. It doesn't come with the same range of seating options as some of our other top choices however, the iCandy is a great choice for families who don't want to spend a lot.
