Buying a Tandem Double Buggy

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

Many also convert into travel systems that take 2 carrycots or car seats. They are often heavier, longer and less stable than a single pushchair.

Convertible

There are many options to add a second seat or converting a single stroller to double. The Vista V2 from UPPAbaby is big, beautiful stroller that easily converts from a single stroller to double by adding the rumble seat (available separately). However, it's pricey and less mobile than other double strollers since the second seat is placed behind the front seat. Nuna Demi Grow is a similar model, but it lacks storage underneath the seat when it is used as a double stroller.

Other options include all-terrain twin buggies as well as fixed-wheel joggers that can accommodate two children. They are more expensive, but they are made for long trips on rough terrain and come with higher resale prices.

Reclining seat recline independently

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

You'll also have to consider the width of the pushchair as this will impact how easy it is to traverse doors and public transportation. If your doorways are very narrow, you may think about a side by side pushchair like the Mountain Buggy Duet. It has a footprint similar to a single stroller but can still fit two seats and car seat adaptors.

Tandem buggies are typically larger than side-by-side models, and therefore are more difficult to maneuver around and down kerbs. However they can be able to accommodate more combinations of car seats, carrycots and seats and are a great option for twins and siblings of different age groups. They also tend to be more expensive than single-to-double buggies, but are a good purchase if you plan to keep it for years and will retain a decent amount of resale value should you sell it on after your children have grown out of it.

Another important feature to look out for is if the backs of the seats can recline independently of one another as this will let you place your child in the most optimal position for napping or observation. This is especially important if you have a child younger than in the rear seat, who will be inclined to lie down and relax while the older child would prefer to sit and observe their surroundings.

Certain brands have a distinctive design that allows the back seat of their vehicles to recline into a position that's almost flat, ideal for newborns. The iCandy Orange, for example has a stadium-style seating option that can be reclined into multiple positions. It also comes with UPF 50+ sun protection and windows that peek out.

Wider 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 worrying about your children touching. They're usually a bit longer with one seat in front of the other. The seats can be reclined completely for babies or placed in an upright position for toddlers.

A popular option is the Mountain Buggy Duet, which features the slimmest side-by-side design available and features a footprint similar to one buggy. It features an adjustable handle that makes it easier for parents to push, and a handbrake that can be useful on hills that are steep. It is suitable for use from birth, and can be paired with a wide range of car seats and carrycots.

The iCandy Wave is another option. It can be folded in mono or duo mode with just one click. The frame's clever design expands in width to accommodate an additional chair and can be used with up to two car seats or carrycots. This makes it an ideal option for older siblings who wish to sit together. It's a bit longer than other models but still feels light to steer and has soft suspension that is able to handle kerbs.

There are also a variety of 3-wheeler tandems inline available - check out Phil and Teds' inline models or iCandy's Peach and Pear buggies, for example that offer stability and swift steering. Most of them can be folded down to the size of a single buggy, which is helpful for those who struggle with storage at home or have to lug it in and out of the car when using public transportation.

It's worth bearing in mind that a double-buggy with a wider width will be heavier and bulkier than a single buggy that is smaller, so make sure you're getting what you need before purchasing. It will be used on buses, trains and subways frequently, so it should be easy to manage and use. You may need to juggle the car seat in and out while taking your child to school or the nursery.

From birth

Whether you're expecting twins or have another child after your first, you're going to need to find a stroller that can accommodate the entire family. double pram buggy buggies tend to be larger, heavier and cost more than single strollers, however they can also be more maneuverable through narrower doors or around obstacles like curbs. Many double buggies can be used with piggyback boards (available from the manufacturer or as an add-on). This lets you transport three children at once.

Tandem pushchairs put one child in front of the other, and they're generally a better option for families with two children who are similar in age to be able to live well together. They're not completely safe. Siblings who are sitting side-by-side could punch or kick one another and children of different heights could argue over who is sitting higher. A tandem high-low model can solve this issue by elevating the seat at the rear, which will prevent your older child from being sat on the bottom and not having the best view.

The iCandy Wave is a great alternative for parents who want an easy-to-use double buggy that converts to fit a newborn into a carrycot and an older child in the main seat. It features a smart frame that can be expanded in width when you add the second seat. It folds flat to make it a compact storage. The cushioned seats, straps and buckles are all of the best quality we have encountered in our testing. Both seats can recline independently and the canopy is spacious and large with UPF 50+ protection and windows that can be seen from a distance.

The only drawback to the iCandy tandem is that it's a bit expensive. However, a good tandem will last you for years and retain an attractive resale value which means that in the end you'll likely recover a portion of the cost. The iCandy does not have the same seating options as our other top selections. It's nevertheless an ideal choice for families that don't want spend lots of cash.
