10 Quick Tips To Tandem Double Buggy
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 smaller than side-by-side buggies and are ideal for maneuvering tight spaces, such as doors, on public transport and on rough terrain.

Some can be converted to travel systems that use two carrycots or car seats for children. However, they can be heavier and longer than single pushchairs, and might feel less stable when bumping up kerbs.

Convertible

There are a variety of options for adding a second seat or making a single stroller double. The Vista V2 from UPPAbaby is a spacious, gorgeous stroller that can easily be converted from a single to double by adding the rumble seating (available separately). However, it's expensive and less mobile than other double strollers since the second seat is placed in front of the front seat. Nuna Demi Grow offers a similar option however, it doesn't have 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 but they are made for long trips on rough terrain, and come with a higher resale price.

Independent seat recline

If you're looking for a double buggy that is able to transport children of different age groups, then you'll require a model with an recline that is independent for both seats. This allows your child of a higher age to rest while the baby is in the bassinet and vice versa.

It is also important to consider the width of the pushchair, as this will affect how easy it is to get through doors and on public transport. If you have very narrow doors, it could be worth considering a side-by-side pushchair, such as the Mountain Buggy Duet which has the benefit of having a footprint similar to a single buggy, however it can use two seats and car seat adaptors.

Tandem buggies are generally larger than side-by-side models, and therefore are more difficult to maneuver up and down kerbs. However, they can accommodate more combinations of seats/carrycots/car seats and are an excellent choice for twins and siblings of various age groups. These buggies are also more expensive than single to double buggies but they're well worth the cost if you plan to keep it for a few years. They'll also keep an impressive amount of value when sold once your children have outgrown it.

Another thing to look for is whether the seat backs can recline independently of each other because this allows you to put your child in the most optimal position for napping or observation. This is particularly important if you have a younger child in the rear seat, who will be inclined to lie down and take a snooze while the older child wants to sit up and look around their surroundings.

Certain brands come with a unique design for their seats that allows the back seat to completely recline to an almost flat position, which is ideal for newborns. For example, the iCandy Orange has raised stadium-style seating and can recline both the toddler seat that comes with it and the additional RumbleSeat to multiple positions, so your kids can have the option of deciding where to sit, as well as providing an excellent UPF 50+ canopy that has windows that can be seen from afar.

Larger than twin buggies

They are great for siblings of different age groups, and they allow you to move around without having to worry about your children touching. They are usually a little larger with one seat in front of the other. The seats can be reclined fully for infants, or put in an upright position for toddlers.

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

The iCandy Wave is another option. It can be folded in either mono or duo mode in a single click. Its clever frame expands in width to accommodate an additional chair and can be used to accommodate up to two car seats or carrycots. This makes it a fantastic option for older siblings who would like to be seated together. It's a little longer than other models but still feels easy to steer and has soft suspension that can handle kerbs.

There are a lot of 3-wheeler inline tandems that are available such as Phil and Teds' inline models or iCandy's Peach and Pear buggies, for example - which provide stability and swift steering. Often these can be folded into the size of one buggy, which is helpful for those who struggle with storage at home or frequently need to carry it in and out of the car when using public transportation.


It's worth bearing in mind that a large double buggy will feel heavier and bulkier than a single buggy that is smaller Make sure that you're getting what you need before you buy. It will be used on trains, buses, and subways frequently therefore it must be simple to use and manage. It is possible that you will need to move the car seat in and out when you take your child to school or to nursery.

From birth

You'll need a stroller for your entire family, whether you're expecting twins, or you have a second child after you've had your first. Double buggies are typically a bit heavier, bulkier and more expensive than single strollers. However, they are also easier to maneuver in narrower doorways or around obstacles such as curbs. double infant strollers Pushchairs And Prams are compatible with piggyback boards (available from the manufacturer or as an accessory). This allows you to carry three children at the same time.

Tandem pushchairs seat one child in front of the other, and they're often a better choice when you have two children who are close enough in age to get along well. However, they're not 100% secure: Siblings in side-by-side seats could kick or punch each other, and kids on different heights can squabble over who should sit higher. A tandem high-low model is able to solve this issue by elevating the seat at the rear, which will prevent your child's height from being sat on the bottom and not having much of a view.

The iCandy Wave is a great choice for parents looking for an easy-to-use convertible double buggy that can fit a newborn into a carrycot and an older child in the main seat. It features a clever frame that can be expanded in width when you add the second seat, and folds to flattish storage. The padded seats, straps and buckles are all of the highest quality we have seen in our testing. The canopy is large in size with UPF 50+ protection, as well as a windows that peek out. Both seats are reclined independently.

The only downside to the iCandy tandem is that it's quite expensive. However, a good tandem will last for years and retain a high resale price, which means that in the end you'll probably recoup a portion of the cost. The iCandy doesn't have the same seating options as our other top choices. However, it's an ideal choice for families who don't wish to spend lots of money.
