Which Double Tandem Pushchair is Best For Your Family?

There are a variety of products that can make the life of parents of two children or twins easier. One of them is the double tandem pushchair.

From Phil and Teds to Baby Jogger, most brands offer a double stroller in their product range. They are available as inline or side-by-side convertible models.

Stability

Whether you have twins or children close in age, a double pram and pushchair tandem pushchair makes traveling with two children much easier and more comfortable. There are numerous styles and configurations available that it can be a challenge to pick the best one for your family. Some are better suited for jogging than others, or accommodate a third seat if you add a buggy board. Which ones are the most stable however?

Side-by-side pushchairs (like the CYBEX Gazelle S) are great for transporting children of the same age. They can be difficult to maneuver through narrow doorways or shopping aisles. In this case, you might be best using a model that is stadium-style like the Bugaboo Donkey or Mountain Buggy Duet, which allow children to face you or each other depending on the arrangement.

Tandem models that seat one behind the other are more manageable than side-by-side pushchairs, but they are still not as stable as single strollers or car seats. They can also be difficult to climb up curbs and could have less storage than a side-by-side pushchair.

To get a good impression of the stability of doubles, you have to test it out using both seats because that is the way you will use it the most often. Check how easy it is for you to navigate and steer the vehicle, especially in tight corners or using the front wheels that rotate. It is also important to test the brakes, as they can be difficult to operate when both child seats are attached.

If you're looking for a high-quality double stroller at a reasonable price that does everything, look no further than Phil & Teds Sport Double. This stylish compact stroller can be transformed from a single to a tandem in a couple of simple steps. The seat and carrycot can be used as a parent-facing or facing one another. Its air-filled tires as well as all-wheel suspension enable it to tackle various terrains. The seat has a handy storage basket under the seat, however this is partially restricted by the second child's seat.

Comfort

If you have twins or a toddler and newborn there is a double pushchair that will accommodate your family. They can be used to transport two children together, however many can be converted into one pushchair (though this will usually require taking off one seat). They are generally larger than a single double stroller stroller, but they offer an excellent value and flexibility.

In our most recent double stroll reviews, we asked our testers to give their opinions on a variety of things, including the comfort of riding, handling and how well the stroller folded. They also rated the ease of getting in and out of the car seat, as well as whether or not it could be used with a baby carrier.

The Stroller & Co City Tour 2 Double is a great example of a flexible, comfortable and lightweight double stroller. Our reviewers appreciated the spacious UPF 50+ canopy which provides real shade and includes a peekaboo window, while the seats can recline to various positions with the push of the button. One seat can be made to lie flat so that a newborn can rest in the carrycot on top of it.

The reversible seat lining made of bamboo which is naturally antibacterial on one hand and soft Jersey on the other side is an great feature. The possibility of being folded with just one hand is also an amazing feature, especially when you're responsible for two small children.

Side-by-side models are typically more expensive than tandem buggies. However, they can offer maximum flexibility as they are usually designed to fit into narrow aisles and doors. They can be heavy to push and are difficult to manoeuvre up kerbs, however, they do come with a front-loaded loader that helps help balance the load.

Flexibility

If you're looking for a way to keep your twins in close proximity or have a toddler and newborn, a double tandem pushchair can be an invaluable addition to your family. It will help you avoid the annoyance of children who wake each other or fighting while out and about, keeping them both content. This type of buggy is also ideal for those who plan to use it on public transport, as it can be easier to fit it in the space available.

Certain models offer an extreme degree of flexibility, including the ability to switch back to single mode if your youngest is ready for a stroller without needing to buy an entirely new one. The UPPAbaby Vista V2 Double, for example, can take two infant car seats as well as a riding board in the back, making it ideal for three kids. It can be utilized with a stroller seat and a roll-away suitcase for the parents, allowing you to travel light and still having everything your family needs.

The Joovy Caboose Ultralight Graphite is a different style of double stroller from the rest, yet it has the same features that you'll find in our top-rated choices. It's easy to fold and fits through the majority of doors. The basket that is under the carriage is also a bit taller and makes it easier to load groceries. Its rear seat is also protected to keep your kid warm in winter.

A side-byside pram is bigger than a tandem, making it more difficult to navigate shopping aisles or narrow footpaths. However, it's easier to manoeuvre on rocky terrain than a standard dual pushchair. Some of these prams can be difficult to steer, especially when your child is larger.

An inline double pushchair however is a better choice for the majority of families. It can be used as a twin pram for children who are young but it could also be converted into a tandem once they grow older. Certain models, such as the iCandy Peach 3+ can accommodate two iSize car seats. This gives you maximum flexibility and value.

Storage

The biggest disadvantage of a double buggy may be that it takes up more room on public transport, and is more difficult to maneuver through narrow doors or lifts. They also cost more and are more expensive for side-by-side models, especially those with a second seat up in front.

Certain models can be converted from single double stroller pushchairs to tandem models - such as the Joolz Geo and the Uppababy Vista V2. This is an affordable option if you're planning to have a second child in the near future. It also increases the life span of your buggy. It may be difficult to convert it back into only one seat after your older child is out of it.

Stadium Duo is a lightweight compact stroller that is ideal for urban adventures. It has a one-click, one-hand fold and automatic storage lock, plus it's compatible with 2 SnugEssentials or SnugRide i-Size infant car seats* to ensure seamless transitions.
