Buying a Tandem Double Buggy

If you have twins or children similar in age, a tandem double buggie is a great option. They're a bit smaller than side-byside buggies and ideal for navigating tight spaces such as doors, on public transport and rocky terrain.

Many convert into travel systems to use two carrycots or car seats. However, they can be heavier and longer than single pushchairs, and may not be as stable when as they bump up kerbs.

Convertible

There are many options for adding a second seat or converting a single stroller to double. The Vista V2 from UPPAbaby is a large, gorgeous stroller that converts easily from a single model to double by adding the rumble seat (available separately). However, it's expensive and less mobile than other double strollers due to the fact that the second seat goes behind the front seat. The Nuna Demi Grow is a similar option with great seating versatility but isn't equipped with storage under the seat when used in doubles mode.

Other alternatives include twin buggies with all-terrain wheels, and joggers with fixed wheels that can accommodate two children. They are more expensive, however, they are designed for long trips on rough terrain and come with higher resale prices.

Independent seat recline

If you require a double buggy to transport children of different ages then you're going to require a model with an independent seat recline for both seats. This will allow your child's older to relax in the back while the baby sleeps in the bassinet and reverse.

Take into consideration the width of your stroller and consider the ease of you to navigate through doors and public transportation. If you have extremely narrow doors, it may be worth considering 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, however it can accommodate two seats and car seat adaptors.

Tandem buggies are usually a little longer than side-by-side models, and aren't as difficult to maneuver around kerbs however, they can accommodate a wider range of car/car/seat combinations, and are a great option for twins or siblings of various age groups. They are also more expensive than single-to-double buggies, but are a worthwhile investment if you plan to keep it for a long time and will have a decent amount of resale value in the event that you decide to sell it off when your children are out of it.

Another thing to look for is whether the seat backs are able to recline independently of each other as this will let you put your child in the most optimal position to nap or observe. This is essential when your child is in the back seat and wishes to nap while the older child prefers to sit up to observe the surrounding.

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

More spacious than twin buggies

They are great for pushchairsandprams.uk siblings with different ages, and you can move around without having to worry about your children touching. They're usually a larger with one seat positioned behind the other. The seats can be reclined fully for infants, or put in an upright position for toddlers.

Mountain Buggy Duet is a popular choice. It is the slimmest design of the two-in-ones on the market, and a footprint comparable to one stroller. It comes with an adjustable handle that makes it easier for parents to push and a handbrake, which can be useful on hills that are steep. It is suitable from birth and is compatible with a range of car seats and carrycots, meaning it makes an excellent travel system.

The iCandy Wave is another option. It can be folded in either 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 choice for older siblings that would like to be seated together. It's slightly bigger than the other models, but it feels light and has soft suspension for kerbs.

There are many 3-wheeler tandems with inline wheels that offer stability and swift steering. Check out Phil and Teds inline models, or iCandy Peach and Pear buggies. They are often folded into one buggy in case you have a small space at home, or need to carry it from the car to the bus stop.

It's important to remember that a large double buggy will feel bulkier and heavier than a compact double stroller single buggy So make sure you're getting what you need before you purchase. You'll need to take it off and on trains, buses and subways frequently, so it must be easy to use and manage. You may also need to juggle it onto and off the car seat while taking your children to nursery or school so you'll need to ensure it's easy to maneuver in tight spaces.

From birth

Whether you're expecting twins or you have a child following your first, you're likely to need to find an appropriate pushchair for the entire family. Double buggies tend to be heavier and bulkier as well as more expensive than single strollers. However they are much easier to maneuver in tighter doorways, or around obstacles like curbs. Many double buggies work with piggyback boards (available from the manufacturer or as an add-on). This allows you to transport three children at the same time.

Tandem pushchairs place one child in front the other. They are a good option for children who are close in age and get along well. But they're not foolproof Side-by-side chairs could kick or punch each other, and children with different heights may argue over who should sit higher. A tandem high-low model can solve this issue by elevating the seat towards the rear, which prevents your child's height from being on the bottom and not having any view.

The iCandy Wave is a good alternative for parents looking for a convertible double buggy that includes a carrycot that can fit both the newborn and the older child. It has a clever frame that can be expanded in width when you add the second seat. It folds to flattish storage. The cushioned buckles, straps and seats are all of the highest quality we have encountered in our tests. The canopies are large in size with UPF 50+ protection, and the window is peekaboo. Both seats can recline independently.

The only downside to the iCandy tandem is that it is a bit expensive. However, a good tandem will last you for many years and have a high resale price, so in the end you'll probably recoup a portion of the cost. It doesn't have the same range of seating configurations as others of our top choices however, the iCandy is a good option for families who don't wish to spend a lot.
