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 a bit smaller than side-by-side buggies and are perfect for narrow spaces like doorways, public transport and rough terrain.

Some can be converted to travel systems that can take two carrycots or car seats for children. They are typically heavier, longer and less stable than a single and double stroller pushchair.

Convertible

There are many options for adding a second seating or changing a single stroller into double. The UPPAbaby Vista V2 is a spacious, gorgeous stroller that easily converts from a single model to double by adding the rumble seat (available separately). It's costly and less maneuverable than other dual strollers due to the fact that the second seat is located in front of the front seat. The Nuna Demi Grow is a similar model with great seating versatility but isn't equipped with storage under the seat when used in doubles mode.

Other alternatives include all-terrain twin buggies and fixed-wheel joggers that can accommodate two children. These tend to be more expensive, but they're made for long trips over rough terrain and can have greater resales value.

Reclining the seat independently

If you want a double buggy travel system stroller that will accommodate children of different ages, you will need one with an independent recliner for both seats. This will allow your child's older to sit back and relax while the baby sleeps in the bassinet, and the reverse.

Consider the width of your pushchair and consider the ease of you to navigate through doors and on public transportation. If you have extremely narrow doors, it may be worth considering a side-by-side pushchair like the Mountain Buggy Duet which has the advantage of having a footprint comparable to a single buggy however, it is able to use two seats and car seat adaptors.

Tandem buggies are usually slightly longer than side-by-side models and therefore aren't easy to manoeuvre around kerbs however, they can accommodate a wider range of seat/carrycot/car seat combinations and are a great option for twins or siblings of different ages. They are also more expensive than single to double stroller-to-double buggies, but are a worthwhile investment if you intend to keep it for many years and will retain a decent amount of resale value in the event that you decide to sell it off when your children are out of it.

This feature will allow you to place your child in a comfortable position for naps or observation. This is essential for children who are in the back seat and would like to nap while the more mature child prefers to sit up and observe the surroundings.

Certain brands have a distinctive design that allows the back seat of their vehicles to recline into a position that is almost flat, perfect for newborns. The iCandy Orange, for example is a stadium-style seat that can be reclined to several positions. It also has UPF 50+ canopy and windows that peek out.

Wider than twin buggies

It's not necessary to have twins in order to benefit from a wider double buggy - they're ideal for siblings of different age groups and let you move around without worrying about your children touching. They're typically a bit longer too with one seat positioned behind the other and usually with a fully-flat recline option for newborns (or a more upright position for toddlers).

A popular option is the Mountain Buggy Duet, which is the tiniest side-by-side model on the market and has an identical footprint to one buggy. It also has an adjustable handle, which makes it easy for parents of different heights to push, and a handbrake that is helpful when climbing steep hills. It can be used from birth and is compatible with a range of car seats and carrycots, meaning it's a great travel system.

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

There are plenty of 3-wheeler tandems with inline tires that offer stability and swift steering. Check out Phil and Teds inline models, or iCandy Peach and Pear buggies. Often these can be folded down to the size of one buggie which is useful for those who struggle with storage at home or have to lug it in and out of the car when using public transport.

Be aware that a cheap double stroller-wide buggy is more heavy and bulkier than one compact buggy. Make sure you know what you want prior to making a buy. It will be used on trains, buses and subways frequently, so it should be easy to manage and use. You may need to juggle the car seat while taking your child to school or nursery.

From birth, you are a suitable candidate

If you're expecting twins or have a second child after your first, you're going to require a pushchair that fits the entire family. double jogging stroller buggies are typically heavier and bulkier, as well as more expensive than single strollers. However, they are easier to maneuver in tighter doors and around obstacles such as curbs. Many are also compatible with piggyback ride-along boards (either from the manufacturer or as a separate accessory purchase) so you can transport three children at the same time.

Tandem pushchairs put one child in front of the other. They are a good option for children who are close in age and get along well. But they're not foolproof: Siblings in side-by-side seats could kick or punch each other, and children who are different heights can argue over who should sit higher. 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 lowest part of the car and won't have much of an eye.

The iCandy Wave is a good choice for parents looking for a convertible double buggy that includes a carrycot that can accommodate both infants and an older child. It has a clever frame that expands widthways when you add the second seat. It folds flat to make it a compact storage. The seats are cushioned and comfortable, the straps are simple to fasten and the buckles are among the most impressive we've seen in any of our tests. The canopies are large in size, UPF 50+ protection, as well as a windows that peek out. Both seats can recline independently.

The only drawback to the iCandy tandem is that it's a bit costly. However, a quality tandem will last you for years and retain the highest resale value, which means that in the end you'll likely recover a portion of the cost. It doesn't come with the same selection of seating configurations that others of our top choices however, the iCandy is a great choice for families who don't want to spend a fortune.
