Buying a Tandem Double Buggy

A tandem lightweight double pushchair buggy can be a great option if you have twins, or children who are very close in age. They're a bit smaller than side-byside buggies, and ideal for maneuvering narrow spaces like doorways, on public transport and on rough terrain.

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

Convertible

Whether you're looking for a convertible stroller that converts from single to double or to add an additional seat to an existing one, there's many options to choose from. The UPPAbaby is a spacious, gorgeous stroller. It can be easily transformed from a single stroller to a dual by adding a seating area with a rumble. However, it's pricey and less maneuverable than other dual strollers because the 2nd seat is located in front of the front seat. The Nuna Demi Grow is a comparable model with great seating versatility but lacks under-seat storage when used in doubles mode.

Other alternatives include all-terrain twin pushchair from birth buggies, as well as fixed-wheel joggers that can hold two children. These tend to be more expensive but they're designed to last longer on rough terrain and can have more resale value.

Reclining the seat independently

If you're looking for a double buggy that is able to transport children of different ages then you're going to require a model with an recline that is independent for both seats. This allows your child of a higher age to relax in the back while the baby sleeps in the bassinet, and the reverse.

Consider the width of your stroller, as this will determine the ease of you to maneuver through doors and public transportation. If you have extremely narrow doors, it could be worthwhile to consider a side-by-side pushchair such as the Mountain Buggy Duet which has the benefit of having a footprint that is similar to a single buggy, but can still use two seats and car seat adaptors.

Tandem buggies are generally a little longer than side-by-side models and so aren't as easily maneuverable up and down kerbs, however they can be able to accommodate a wider range of car seat/car seat combinations, making them a good option for twins or siblings of different ages. They also tend to be more expensive than single-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 should you decide to sell it when your children are out of it.

Another crucial thing to look for is whether the seat backs can recline independently from one another as this will let you place your child in the ideal position to nap or observe. 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 surrounding.

Certain brands have a distinctive design that allows the back seat of their vehicles to fully recline into a position that is almost flat, perfect for newborns. For instance the iCandy Orange has raised stadium-style seating and can recline both the toddler seat included and the add-on RumbleSeat into multiple positions so your kids can have the option of where they want they will sit, as well as offering an excellent UPF 50+ canopy that has peekaboo windows.

Larger than twin buggies

It's not necessary to have twins to benefit from a wider double buggy that converts to single buggy. They're great for siblings of different age groups and let you get around without having to worry about your children touching each other. They are usually a little bit longer with one seat positioned behind the other. The seats can be reclined fully for newborns or in an upright position for toddlers.

A popular choice is the Mountain Buggy Duet, which features the slimmest side-by-side design available and features a footprint similar to a single buggy. It also has an adjustable handle, which makes it easy for parents of different heights to push and an adjustable handbrake, which is helpful when climbing steep hills. It is suitable for use from birth, and it can be combined with a variety of car seats and carrycots.

Another alternative is the iCandy Wave, which has the convenience of a single click to fold and can be used in duo or mono mode. Its innovative frame can be expanded to accommodate a second chair and can be used with two carrycots or car seats which makes it an ideal option for older siblings that want to sit in a group and share the view. It's slightly larger than other models, but it still feels light and has a comfortable suspension for curbs.

There are also plenty 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. They can be folded into a single buggy if you are limited in space at home or you need to transport it from your car to the bus.

It's worth bearing in mind that a large double buggy will feel bulkier and heavier than a compact single buggy Make sure that it's what you require before you buy. You'll be taking it off and on trains, buses and subways regularly so it needs to be simple to use and manage. It is possible that you will need to move the car seat in and out when taking your child to school or the nursery.

From birth

Whether you're expecting twins or have another child after your first, you're likely to need to find a stroller that can accommodate the entire family. Double buggies tend to be heavier, bulkier, and more expensive than single strollers. However they are much more maneuverable in narrower doorways or around obstacles such as curbs. Many are also compatible with piggyback ride-along boards (either from the manufacturer or via an additional accessory purchase) to allow you to transport three children at a time.

Tandem pushchairs seat one child in front of the other, so they're often a better choice for families with two children who are similar in age to be able to live well together. But they're not foolproof Siblings in a side-by-side seat can kick or punch each other, and kids who are different heights can argue over who gets to sit higher. A tandem high-low model could solve this issue by elevating the seat to the rear, which prevents your child's older one from being on the bottom and not getting much of a view.

The iCandy Wave is a good option for parents who are looking for an adjustable double to single buggy buggy that can be converted into a carrycot that can fit both infants and an older child. It has a clever frame which expands in width when you add a second child seat. It can also fold flat for compact storage. The padded seats are comfortable, the straps are easy to fasten, and the buckles are among the most comfortable we've seen on any of our tests. You can recline both seats independently, and the canopies are large and generous with UPF 50+ protection as well as peekaboo windows.

The only drawback to the iCandy tandem is that it is a bit expensive. But a high-quality tandem will last you for many years and have the highest resale value, which means that in the end you'll probably recoup some of the cost. The iCandy doesn't come with the same seating configurations as our other top selections. It's nevertheless a good option for families who don't want to spend much money.
