Buying a Tandem Double Buggy

If you have twins or children very close in age, a tandem double buggy is a fantastic option. They're a bit smaller than side-byside buggies and are ideal for maneuvering tight spaces such as doorways, on public transport and rocky terrain.

Many convert into travel systems that use two carrycots or car seats. However, they can be heavier and longer than single pushchairs and might feel less stable when as they bump up kerbs.

Convertible

If you're looking for a convertible single-to-double stroller or want to add another seat to an existing one, there's many options to choose from. The Vista V2 from UPPAbaby is spacious, gorgeous stroller that converts easily from a single stroller to double by adding the rumble seating (available separately). It is more expensive and less maneuverable due to the fact that the second seat is positioned behind the first seat. The Nuna Demi Grow is a similar option with great seating flexibility, however it does not have storage under the seat when used in doubles mode.

Other options include twin buggies that have all-terrain wheels, and joggers with fixed wheels that can accommodate two kids. These are more expensive, but they are made for long trips on rough terrain, and come with more expensive resales.

Independent seat recline

If you need a double pram buggy buggy to transport children of different ages, you'll need a buggy that has an independent seat recline for both seats. This allows your older child to rest while the baby is in the bassinet and the reverse is true.

Consider the size of your pushchair to determine how easy it is for you to get through doors and on public transportation. If your doorways are very narrow, you may be considering a side-by-side pushchair like the Mountain Buggy Duet. It has a footprint similar to a single stroller however can still accommodate two seats and car seat adaptors.

Tandem buggies generally are smaller than side-byside models and therefore aren't difficult to maneuver up and down kerbs, however they can be able to accommodate a bigger range of car/car/seat combinations, so can be a good option for twins or siblings of various age. They also tend to be more expensive than single-to-double Stroller with reversible handle buggies, but are a good investment if you plan to keep it for a long time and will have a decent amount of resale value in the event that you decide to sell it when your children have grown out of it.

Another important feature to look for is whether the backs of the seats can recline independently of one another as this will let you put your child in the best position for naps or watching. This is important when your child is in the back seat and would like to rest while the child in the front prefers to sit and observe the surrounding.

Certain brands have a unique design that allows the back seat of their vehicles to recline fully to a position that is almost flat, perfect for newborns. For example the iCandy Orange has raised stadium-style seating and can recline both the included toddler seat as well as the optional RumbleSeat to multiple positions, to give your kids a the option of deciding where they will sit, as well as providing an excellent UPF 50+ canopy that has windows that can be seen from afar.

More spacious than twin buggies

They are ideal for siblings of different age groups, and you can move about without having to worry about your children touching. They're typically a more spacious with one seat positioned behind the other. The seats can be reclined fully for newborns or 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 similar to a single to double pushchair stroller. 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 for use right from birth, and it can be combined with a wide range of car seats and carrycots.

The iCandy Wave is another option. It folds in mono or duo mode in a single click. Its clever frame expands widthways to allow for a second seat and can be used with up to two car seats or carrycots so it's an excellent option for older siblings that want to sit in a group and enjoy the view. It's a bit longer than other models but still feels light to steer and has soft suspension that can handle kerbs.

There are plenty of 3-wheeler tandems with inline tires that offer stability and swift steering. Take a look at Phil and Teds inline models as well as iCandy Peach and Pear buggies. They can be folded into one buggy in case you have a small double buggy space at home or need to transport it from your car to the bus station.

Be aware that a double wide buggy is more heavy and bulkier than a single compact buggy. Be sure to know what you want before you buy. You'll have to get it on and off subways, buses, and trains regularly so it needs to be simple to use and manage. You may also have to juggle it onto and off the car seat when taking your children to nursery or school so you'll need to be aware it is able to be maneuvered in small spaces.

Suitable from birth

If you're expecting twins or have a second child after your first, you're going to need to find a stroller that can accommodate the whole family. double car seat stroller buggies are generally a bit heavier, bulkier and more expensive than single strollers, but they can also be easier to manoeuvre in narrower doorways or around obstacles like curbs. Many double buggies are compatible with piggyback boards (available from the manufacturer or as an accessory). This allows you to transport three children at the same time.

Tandem pushchairs seat one child in the front of the other, and they're usually a better option if you have two kids who are close enough in age ready to grow double stroller function well together. They're not completely safe. Siblings seated side-by-side may punch or kick each other and children with different heights can fight over who sits taller. This issue can be addressed by a tandem high-low model that raises the seat in the rear. Your child's older one will not be sitting at the bottom of the car and won't have much of an opportunity to see.

The iCandy Wave is a good option for parents who are looking for an adjustable double buggy that can be converted into a carrycot that can fit both a newborn and an older child. It has a clever frame which expands in width when you add a second child seat. It also folds flat for compact storage. The cushioned buckles, straps and seats are all of the highest quality we have seen in our testing. The seats can be reclined independently, and the canopies are large and generous with UPF 50+ protection and windows that peek out.

The only downside of the iCandy is that it's on the expensive side but a high-quality tandem will last a long time and will retain its resale value, which means you'll likely recoup some of the cost in the long run. It doesn't come with the same range of seating options as others of our top choices, but the iCandy is a good option for families who don't want to spend a lot.
