Buying a Tandem Double Buggy

If you have twins or children very close in age, a tandem double buggy with car seat buggy is a great option. They are a bit smaller than side by side buggies and are perfect for small spaces such as doorways, public transport and rough terrain.

Some can be converted to travel systems that use two carrycots or child car seats. They can be heavier, longer and less stable than a single pushchair.

Convertible

There are many options to add a second seat or making a single stroller double. The UPPAbaby V2 is large, beautiful stroller. It can be easily changed from a single to a dual by adding a Rumble seat. However, it's pricey and less maneuverable than other dual strollers due to the fact that the second seat is placed behind the front seat. Nuna Demi Grow offers a similar option but lacks storage underneath the seat when it is used as a double stroller.

Other options include twin umbrella stroller buggies with all-terrain wheels and joggers with fixed wheels that can be used to carry two kids. They tend to be more expensive but they're designed to last longer on rough terrain and can have more resale value.

Independent seat recline

If you want a double stroller that can accommodate children of various ages, you will need one with an independent recliner for both seats. This allows your older child to relax while the baby is in a bassinet, and reverse.

You'll also need to consider the width of the stroller as this will impact how easy it is to traverse doors and public transport. If your doors are narrow, you may think about a side by side pushchair, such as the Mountain Buggy Duet. It has a footprint that is similar to a single stroller but can still fit 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 be able to accommodate more combinations of seats/carrycots/car seats and are an excellent choice for twins and siblings of various age. They can also be more expensive than single-to-double buggies, but are a good purchase if you plan to keep it for many years and will retain a decent amount of resale value should you sell it on when your children have grown out of it.

This feature allows you to place your child in the most comfortable position for naps or to observe. This is important for children who are in the back seat and wants to nap while the child in the front prefers to sit up to observe the surrounding.

Certain brands have a unique design that allows the back seat of their vehicles to recline fully to a position that is almost flat, ideal for babies. The iCandy Orange, for example has a stadium-style seating option that can be reclined to several positions. It also offers UPF 50+ sun protection and peekaboo windows.

Larger than twin buggies

It's not necessary to have twins to benefit from a larger double buggy with carrycot buggy. They're great for siblings of different age groups. They allow you to move around without having to worry about your children touching each other. They are usually a little more spacious, with one seat behind the other. The seats can be reclined fully for infants, or put in an upright position for toddlers.

A popular option is the Mountain Buggy Duet, which has the slimmest side-byside design on the market and has an identical footprint to a single buggy. It also has an adjustable handle, making it easier for parents of different heights to push as well as a handbrake, which can be useful when you have to climb difficult hills. It is suitable to use from birth and it can be combined with a variety of car seats and carrycots.

Another option is the iCandy Wave, which has a simple one-click to fold and can be used in mono or duo mode. The clever frame expands to accommodate an additional chair and can be used to accommodate up to two car seats or carrycots. This makes it a great choice for older siblings that would like to be seated together. It's a little longer than other models but still feels light to steer and has soft suspension that is able to handle kerbs.

There are also plenty of 3-wheeler inline tandems that are available such as Phil and Teds inline models, or iCandy's Peach and Pear buggies, for example that provide stability and swift steering. These can often be folded into a single buggy if you are limited in space at home, or need to transport it from the car to the bus.

Be aware that a double wide buggy is heavier and bulkier than one compact buggy. Make sure you know what you want before you buy. You'll have to get it off and on trains, buses and subways often, so it should be easy to use and manage. You might also have to move it on and off the car seat when you take your children to nursery or school so you'll need to know it can be easily manoeuvred within small spaces.

From your birth, you are a good candidate

If you're expecting twins, or have another child after your first, you're likely need to find an appropriate pushchair for the entire family. Double buggies are typically heavier and bulkier as well as more expensive than single strollers. However they are also easier to maneuver in tighter doorways and around obstacles such as curbs. Many are also compatible with piggyback ride-along boards (either from the manufacturer or through an additional accessory purchase) which means you can carry three children at once.

Tandem pushchairs place one child in front the other. They are a good option for children who are of similar ages and are good friends. They're not 100% secure. Siblings sitting side-by-side can punch or kick one another and children of different heights can fight over who is sitting higher. This issue can be addressed by a tandem high-low design that elevates the seat in the rear. Your child's older will not be sitting at the lower part of the car, and won't have much of a look out.

The iCandy Wave is a great alternative for parents who want an easy-to-use convertible double buggy with car seat buggy that can accommodate a newborn in a carrycot and an older child in the main seat. It features a clever frame that expands in width when you add a second seat and folds down to flattish storage. The padded buckles, straps and seats are all of the highest quality we have encountered in our testing. The canopies have a generous size, UPF 50+ protection, as well as a windows that peek out. Both seats are reclined independently.

The only drawback to the iCandy tandem is that it's quite expensive. However, a good tandem will last you for many years and have the highest resale value, so at the end of the day you'll probably recoup a portion of the cost. The iCandy doesn't come with the same seating options as our other top choices. It's nevertheless a good option for families that don't want spend lots of money.
