Buying a Tandem Double Buggy A tandem double buggy can be a great choice when you have twins or children who are very close in age. They're a bit smaller than side-byside buggies and are ideal for maneuvering tight spaces, such as entrances, on public transportation and on rough terrain. Many also convert into travel systems that use two carrycots or car seats. They are typically heavier, longer and less stable than a single pushchair. Convertible If you're looking for convertible single-to-double stroller or want to add an additional seat to an existing one, there are several options available. The UPPAbaby V2 is a large, beautiful stroller. It can easily be changed from a single to a dual by adding a Rumble seat. It's costly and less mobile than other double strollers because the 2nd seat is located in front of the front seat. The Nuna Demi Grow is a similar option with great seating flexibility, however it isn't equipped with storage under the seat when used in doubles mode. Other options include twin buggies with all-terrain wheels and joggers with fixed wheels that can hold two kids. They are more expensive, however, they are designed to last longer on rough terrain, and come with higher resale prices. Reclining the seat independently If you want a double stroller which can accommodate children of different age groups, you'll need one with an independent recliner for both seats. This will allow your older child to rest in the back while the baby sleeps in the bassinet, and reverse. Take into consideration the size of your pushchair, as this will determine the ease of you to get through doors and on public transport. If you have very narrow doors, it may be worthwhile to consider a side-by-side pushchair such as the Mountain Buggy Duet which has the benefit of having a footprint comparable to a single buggy but can still accommodate two seats and car seat adaptors. Tandem buggies are generally slightly longer than side-by-side models and therefore aren't easy to manoeuvre around kerbs however they can be able to accommodate a bigger range of car/car/seat combinations, and are a great option for twins or siblings of various ages. They can also be more expensive than single-to-double buggies but are worth the investment if you intend to keep it for years and have a good amount of resale value in the event that you decide to sell it off when your children are out of it. Another important feature to look for is whether the seat backs can recline independently of one another since this will allow you to put your child in the most optimal position for naps or watching. This is important if your child is in the back seat and wants to nap while the child in the front prefers to sit and observe the surrounding. Some brands feature an exclusive seat design that allows the back seat to completely recline into an almost flat position, which is ideal for infants. The iCandy Orange, for example has a stadium-style seating option that can be reclined in various positions. It also has UPF 50+ sun protection and windows that peek out. More spacious than twin buggies There's no need to have twins to benefit from a larger double buggy. They're great for siblings of different age groups. They allow you to go about your day without having to worry about your children touching. They are usually a little more spacious with one seat in front of the other. The seats can be reclined fully for babies or placed in an upright position for toddlers. Mountain Buggy Duet is a popular option. It is the slimmest design that is side-by-side and a footprint similar to one stroller. It also features an adjustable handle, which makes it easier for parents of various heights to push, and an adjustable handbrake, which is helpful when climbing difficult terrains. It is suitable to use from birth and can be used with a range of car seats and carrycots. Another option is the iCandy Wave, which has the convenience of a single click to fold and is able to be used in duo or mono mode. Its clever frame can be expanded to accommodate a second chair and can be used with two car seats or carrycots making it a great option for older siblings who wish to sit together and share the view. It's slightly longer than some other models but still feels easy to steer and has soft suspension that is able to handle the kerbs. There are also a variety of 3-wheeler inline tandems that are available Check out Phil and Teds inline models, or iCandy's Peach and Pear buggies for instance – which offer stability and swift steering. They can be folded into one buggy if you have limited space at home or you need to carry it from the car to the bus stop. It's worth bearing in mind that a double-buggy with a wider width will be heavier and bulkier than a compact single buggy, so make sure you're getting what you need before you purchase. It will be used on buses, trains and subways often, therefore it must be simple to use and manage. You may need to juggle the car seat while taking 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 having your first. Double buggies tend to be heavier, bulkier, and more expensive than single strollers. However, they are more maneuverable in narrower doors or around obstacles such as curbs. Many are also compatible with piggyback ride-along boards (either from the manufacturer or via an accessory purchase) to allow you to transport three children at a time. Tandem pushchairs place one child in the front of the other, so they're often a better choice when you have two children 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 kids on different heights can squabble over who sits higher. This issue can be addressed by a tandem high-low model that elevates the seat to the back. Your child's older will not be sitting at the lowest part of the car and won't be able to get an opportunity to see. The iCandy Wave is a great choice for parents looking for an easy-to-use convertible double buggy that can fit both a newborn in a carrycot and an older child in the main seat. It features an innovative frame that expands in width when you add a second child seat. It also folds flat for compact storage. The cushioned seats are comfortable, the straps easy to secure and the buckles some of the most impressive we've seen in any of our tests. double buggy with carrycot are large in size with UPF 50+ protection, and windows that peek out. Both seats can be reclined independently. The only drawback to the iCandy tandem is that it is a bit expensive. However, a quality tandem will last for years and retain a high resale price, which means that in the end, you'll likely recoup some of the cost. It doesn't come with the same variety of seating options as some of our other top picks however, the iCandy is a good choice for families who don't wish to shell out a lot of money.
