Buying a Tandem double buggy that converts to single Buggy

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

Some convert into travel systems to take 2 carrycots or car seats. They can be heavier, longer and less stable than a single Pushchair Double.

Convertible

If you're looking for convertible single-to-smallest double buggy stroller or want to add an additional seat to an existing one, there's several options available. The UPPAbaby Vista V2 is a big, beautiful stroller that converts easily from a single stroller to a double by adding the rumble seating (available separately). It is more expensive and less maneuverable due to the fact that the second seat is placed behind the first seat. The Nuna Demi Grow is a similar option with great seating flexibility, however it lacks under-seat storage when used in doubles mode.

Other options include twin buggies that have all-terrain wheels and joggers with fixed wheels that can be used to carry two kids. They are more expensive but they are designed for long-distance trips over rough terrain and come with higher resale prices.

Reclining the seat independently

If you want a double buggy with carrycot stroller that can accommodate children of various age groups, you'll require one with independent seat recliner for both seats. This will allow your older child to be able to relax while your baby is in a bassinet and reverse.

Consider the width of your pushchair to determine how easy it is for you to navigate through doors and 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 are generally larger than side-by-side models, making 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 are a great option for twins and siblings of different age. They are also more expensive than single-to-double buggies but are a good 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.

This feature will allow you to place your child in an ideal position for naps or to observe. This is important when your child is in the back seat and wants to take a nap while the older child prefers to sit up to observe the surroundings.

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

Larger than twin buggies

They are perfect for siblings of different age groups, and they allow you to move about without having to worry about your children touching. They are usually a little larger with one seat positioned behind the other. The seats can be reclined completely for newborns or in an upright position for toddlers.

Mountain Buggy Duet is a popular choice. It is the tiniest design that is side-by-side and a footprint that is like the footprint of a single stroller. It has an adjustable handle that makes it easier for parents to push and a handbrake which can be useful on hills that are steep. It is suitable to use from birth and it can be combined with a wide range of car seats and carrycots.

Another alternative is the iCandy Wave, which has an easy one-click fold and is able to be used in duo or mono mode. Its clever frame can be expanded to accommodate the second chair and can be used with up to two car seats or carrycots. This makes it a great option for older siblings who wish to be seated together. It's slightly larger than other models, but it feels light and has soft suspension for curbs.

There are also a variety of 3-wheeler inline tandems that are available such as Phil and Teds inline models or iCandy's Peach and Pear buggies for instance that provide stability and swift steering. These can often be folded into one buggy in case you have a small space at home or need to transport it from your car to the bus.

Be aware that a double-wide buggy will be heavier and heavier than one compact buggy. Be sure to know what you want before you purchase. It will be used on trains, buses and subways often, so it must be easy to operate and use. You might need to manage the car seat on and off when taking your child to school or the nursery.

From birth

You'll need a stroller for your entire family, regardless of whether you're expecting twins or if you have a 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 more maneuverable in tighter doors, or around obstacles like curbs. Many are also compatible with piggyback ride-along boards (either from the manufacturer or through a separate accessory purchase) to allow you to transport three children at once.

Tandem pushchairs put one child in front of the other. They're a good option if your children are of similar ages and are able to get along. But they're not foolproof Side-by-side chairs could kick or punch each other, and children with different heights may argue over who should sit higher. A tandem high-low model could solve this problem by elevating the seat towards the rear, which prevents your child's older one from being sat on the bottom and not getting much of a view.

The iCandy Wave is a great alternative for parents who want an easy-to-use convertible double stroller sale buggy that can fit both a newborn in a carrycot and an older child in the main seat. It has an intelligent frame that increases in size when you add a second child seat. It also folds flat for storage that is compact. The padded seats are comfortable, the straps are simple to fasten and the buckles are among the best lightweight double stroller we've seen on any of our tests. The canopy is large in size, UPF 50+ protection, and a windows that peek out. Both seats are reclined independently.

The only drawback of the iCandy is that it's expensive, but a 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. It also doesn't offer the same variety of seating options as some of our other top picks however, the iCandy is a good choice for families who don't want to spend a lot.
