The Next Big Thing In Double Tandem Pushchair
Which Double Tandem Pushchair is Best For Your Family?

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

From Phil & Teds, to Baby Jogger, most brands offer a double stroller as part of their product line. They can be side-by-side or inline convertible models.

Stability

A double tandem pushchair is perfect for families with twins or children with similar age. It makes the journey of two children more comfortable and easier. There are so many styles and configurations that it can be a challenge to choose the right one for your family. Some are better for running than others, or accommodate a third seat if you add a buggy board. Which ones are the most solid?

Side-by-side pushchairs (like the CYBEX Gazelle S) are great for transporting children of the same age. However they can be difficult to maneuver around narrow entrances and shopping aisles. In this case it is best off with a stadium-style model like the Bugaboo Donkey or Mountain Buggy Duet, which allow children to either face either you or the other based on the arrangement.

Tandem models, which put one behind the other is more manageable, but they aren't as stable as single strollers or child car seats. They can also be difficult to get up curbs and may have less storage than a side-by-side pushchair.

To get a good feeling for the stability of a double, you need to test it out with both seats in use because that is the way you will use it most often. You should test how easy it is to navigate and steer, particularly in tight corners or with the swivel front wheels. It is recommended to test the brakes, too, as they can be difficult to operate when the child and adult seats are both attached.

The Phil & Teds Sports Double is a great double stroller for those who want a quality, affordable stroller that can be used for all. This stylish and compact pushchair converts from a single to tandem in few steps. The carrycot and seat can be used either parent-facing or facing one another. The air-filled tires and all-wheel suspension allow it to tackle a variety of terrains. The seat has an excellent storage basket beneath the seat, but this is partially blocked by the second child's seat.

Comfort

There is a double stroller for any family, regardless of whether you have twins, a toddler or a newborn. Generally, they can transport two children side-by-side but some convert into single pushchairs (although this will often involve removing one seat). They tend to be larger than a single buggy however, they are generally able to provide ultra flexibility and good value for money.

In our recent double pushchair reviews, we surveyed testers to rate each model on a variety of factors including ride comfort, ease of use and how it folded. They also assessed the ease of taking out and putting in the car seat, and whether or not it could be used along with baby carriers.

The Stroller & Co City Tour 2 Double stroller is a fantastic example of an easy-going, comfortable and flexible dual stroller. Our reviewers appreciated the spacious UPF 50+ canopy that provides shade and has an opening window for peekaboos, and the seats can recline to various positions with the push of the button. One seat can even be set to lie flat, so a newborn can sleep comfortably in the carrycot attached above it.

Other fantastic features of this pushchair are the padded handlebar, cup holder and pouch and the easy-to-use brake system, and the reversible seat liner made of bamboo that is naturally anti-bacterial on one side and soft jersey on the other. The ability to be folded with just one hand is an amazing feature, especially when you're responsible for two small children.

Side-by-side models are generally more expensive than tandem buggies, however they can offer maximum flexibility as they are usually made to fit into narrow doors and aisles. They can be heavy to push and can be difficult to manoeuvre up kerbs, however, most have a front-loaded weight which helps help balance the load.

Flexibility

If you're looking for a way to keep your twins together or have a toddler and newborn, a double tandem pushchair can be a valuable addition to your family. This will keep your children entertained by preventing them from arguing or waking each other up. This kind of buggy is ideal when you plan to use it on public transportation because it will 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 when your baby is ready to use strollers, without having to buy an entirely new one. The UPPAbaby V2 Double can accommodate two infant car seats at the back as well as a riding board which makes it ideal for three children. It can even be utilized with a stroller seat and a suitcase that can roll for parents, allowing you to travel light while still taking everything your family needs.


The Joovy Caboose Ultralight Graphite double stroller has a distinct design than its counterparts, but it offers many of the same features as our top choices. It's easy to fold and fits through the majority of doors. The basket that is under the carriage is also higher which makes it easier to load groceries. The rear seat is covered, which means your child will be protected in winter.

A side-by-side pram is wider than a tandem, making it harder to navigate crowded walkways or narrow aisles in shops. It is also easier to maneuver on rough terrain than a conventional double pushchair. Some of these prams can be difficult to steer, especially when your child is heavier.

An inline double pushchair however, is a better option for families with multiple children. It can be used as twin prams when your children are young but it could also be transformed into a tandem when they get older. Certain models, such as the iCandy Peach 3+ can accept two iSize car seat. This gives you the maximum flexibility and value.

Stores

The biggest disadvantage of a double buggy could be that it takes up more room on public transport and is difficult to maneuver through narrow doorways or lifts. They also cost more especially side-by-side models that have a second seat in the in front.

Certain models, like the Joolz Geo or the Uppababy Vista V2 can be converted to tandem pushchairs. This is a great option if you're planning on having another child at some point, and it extends the lifespan of your buggy. However, it could be tricky to convert to a single buggy when your older child outgrows it.
