Buying a Tandem Double Buggy

A tandem double buggy can be a fantastic option if you have twins, or children who are close in age. They are narrower than side by side buggies and are great for narrow spaces like doors, public transport, and rough terrain.

Some are able to be converted into travel systems that use two carrycots or car seats for children. They are typically heavier, longer and less stable than a single pushchair twin.

Convertible

Whether you're looking for a convertible stroller double that can be converted from a single to a double or to add an additional seat to an existing one, there are many options to choose from. The UPPAbaby Vista V2 is a big, beautiful stroller that can easily be converted from a single stroller to a double by adding the rumble seat (available separately). However, it's expensive and less mobile than other double strollers due to the fact that the second seat is located in front of the front seat. Nuna Demi Grow offers a similar option, but it lacks storage underneath the seat when used as a double stroller.

Other options include twin buggies that have all-terrain wheels and joggers with fixed wheels that can hold two kids. They are more expensive, however, they are designed for long trips on rough terrain and have a higher resale price.

Independent seat recline

If you're looking for a double stroller that will accommodate children of various ages, you will need one with independent seat recliner for both seats. This will allow your older child to sit back and relax while the baby sleeps in the bassinet, and vice versa.

Think about the width of your stroller, as this will determine the ease of you to get through doors and public transport. If you have extremely narrow doors, it may be a good idea to consider a side-byside pushchair, such as the Mountain Buggy Duet which has the benefit of having a footprint that is similar to a single double stroller buggy, but can still take 2 seats and car seat adaptors.

Tandem buggies tend to be longer than side by side models, making them more difficult to maneuver up and down kerbs. However they can also accommodate a wider range of combinations of car seats/car seats/seats and are a great option for twins and siblings of various age groups. They also tend to be more expensive than single-to-double pram buggy buggies, but are worth the investment if you intend to keep it for many years and will retain a decent amount of resale value in the event that you sell it on when your children are out of it.

Another thing to look out for is if the backs of the seats can recline independently from one another because this allows you to put your child in the ideal position to nap or observe. This is especially important if you have a young child in the rear seat who may be inclined to lie down and sleep while the older child wants to sit and observe their surroundings.

A few brands have an exclusive seat design that allows the back seat to completely recline into an almost flat position which is perfect for newborns. For instance the iCandy Orange has raised stadium-style seating and can recline both the included toddler seat and the additional RumbleSeat into various positions to give your kids a the option of where they want to sit, as well as providing an excellent UPF 50+ canopy with windows that peek out.

More spacious than twin umbrella stroller buggies

You don't need to have twins in order to benefit from a bigger double buggy. They're perfect for siblings of various ages and allow you to go about your day without worrying about your children touching each other. They're typically a bit larger too with one seat placed behind the other and offering a fully-flat recline for babies (or an upright position for toddlers).

A popular option is the Mountain Buggy Duet, which has the slimmest side-byside design available and has an identical footprint to a single buggy. It also features an adjustable handle, making it easier for parents of various heights to push as well as a handbrake that is useful when tackling steep hills. It is suitable from birth and is compatible with a range of car seats and carrycots, which means it is a great travel system.

Another option is the iCandy Wave, which has a simple one-click to fold and can be used in duo or mono mode. The frame's clever design expands widthways to accommodate a second seat and it can be used with two car seats or carrycots which makes it an ideal choice for older siblings who want to sit in a group and share the view. It's slightly bigger than the other models, but it feels light and has a comfortable suspension for kerbs.

There are a variety of 3-wheeler tandems with inline tires that offer stability and swift steering. Take a look at Phil and Teds inline models, or iCandy Peach and Pear buggies. They are often folded into a single buggy if you have limited space at home or you need to carry it from the car to the bus.

Be aware that a double wide buggy is heavier and more bulkier than one that is compact. Make sure you know what you want before you buy. You'll be taking it off and on trains, buses and subways regularly so it needs to be easy to use and manage. You may need to juggle the car seat when you take your child to school or the nursery.

From birth, you're a suitable candidate

If you're expecting twins, or have another child after your first, you're likely to need to find a pushchair that fits the entire family. Double buggies are typically heavier and bulkier, as well as more expensive than single strollers. However they are much easier to maneuver in tighter doors or around obstacles such as curbs. Many double buggies can be used with piggyback boards (available from the manufacturer or as an add-on). This allows you to carry three children at the same time.

Tandem pushchairs put one child in front of the other, so they're usually a better option if you have two kids who are close enough in age to be able to live well together. But they're not completely safe Siblings in a side-by-side seat can kick or punch each other, and children with different heights may argue over who sits higher. This problem can be solved by a tandem high-low model that elevates the seat in the back. Your older child will not be seated on the bottom of the car and won't have much of an opportunity to see.

The iCandy Wave is a good choice for parents looking for an adjustable double buggy that can be converted into a carrycot that is able to accommodate both a newborn and an older child. It features a clever frame that expands widthways when you add the second seat. It folds flat for compact storage. The padded seats are comfortable, the straps are simple to fasten and the buckles are among the most comfortable we've seen on any of our tests. The canopy is large in size with UPF 50+ protection, and a peekaboo window. Both seats can be reclined independently.

The only downside of the iCandy is that it's a bit expensive however, a good tandem will last a long time and retain its resale value, which means you'll probably get back some of the cost in the long run. It doesn't have the same range of seating options as some of our other top choices, but the iCandy is a good choice for families who don't want to shell out a lot of money.
