Buying a Tandem Double Buggy

If you have twins or children very close in age, a tandem double buggy side by side buggy is a great choice. They are narrower than side by side buggies and are perfect for small spaces such as doors, public transport, and terrain that is rocky.

Some are able to be converted into travel systems that can take two carrycots or child car seats. However, they can be heavier and longer than single pushchairs, and may feel less stable in bumping up kerbs.

Convertible

If you're looking for a convertible single-to-double stroller or want to add another seat to an existing one, there are many options to choose from. The UPPAbaby V2 is spacious, gorgeous stroller. It can be easily changed from a single to a double pushchairs by adding a rumble seat. However, it's pricey and less maneuverable than other dual strollers since the second seat goes to the left of the front seat. The Nuna Demi Grow is a similar option with a wide range of seating options, but isn't equipped with storage under the seat when used in doubles mode.

Other options include all-terrain twin buggies and fixed-wheel joggers that can hold two children. They are more expensive but they are made to last longer on rough terrain, and come with higher resale prices.

Independent seat recline

If you require a double stroller with Foot Brake buggy 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 older child to be able to relax while your baby is in the bassinet, and the reverse is true.

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

Tandem buggies are usually slightly longer than side-by-side models and therefore aren't easy to manoeuvre through kerbs and up and down, but they can accommodate a wider variety of car/car/seat combinations, making them a good option for twins or siblings of different age. They can also be more expensive than single-to-double buggies, but are worth the 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 have grown out of it.

Another important feature to look for is whether the seat backs can recline independently from one another because this allows you to put your child in the best position to nap or observe. This is essential if your child is in the back seat and wishes to rest while the child in the front prefers to sit up to observe the surroundings.

Certain brands have a unique design that allows the back of their vehicles to recline into a position that's almost flat, ideal for newborns. For example the iCandy Orange has raised stadium-style seating and can recline the included toddler seat and the add-on RumbleSeat into multiple positions to give your kids a a choice of where to sit, and also comes with an excellent UPF 50+ canopy with windows that peek out.

Larger than twin buggies

They are perfect for siblings of different ages, and you can move around without worrying about your children touching. They're typically a little longer too with one seat placed behind the other and usually offering a fully-flat recline for newborns (or an upright position for toddlers).

Mountain Buggy Duet is a popular option. It is the tiniest design that is side-by-side and a footprint like a single stroller. It has an adjustable handle that makes it easier for parents to push, and a handbrake that is helpful on steep hills. It is suitable for use right from birth, and it can be combined with a wide range of car seats and carrycots.

The iCandy Wave is another option. It folds in duo or mono mode with just one click. Its innovative frame can be expanded to accommodate a second chair and it can be used with up to two carrycots or car seats which makes it an ideal option for older siblings that want to sit together and enjoy the view. It's a bit bigger than the other models, but it feels light and has soft suspension for kerbs.

There are a variety of 3-wheeler tandems that have inline wheels that offer stability and swift steering. Take a look at Phil and Teds inline models as well as iCandy Peach and Pear buggies. These can often be folded into one buggy if you have limited space at home or you need to transport it from the car to the bus.

Be aware that a two-wheeled buggy will be heavier and heavier than one that is compact. Be sure you know what you want before you purchase. You'll be taking it on and off subways, trains and buses often, so it should be easy to use and manage. You might need to manage the car seat while taking your child to school or to nursery.

From birth, you are a good candidate

There will be a need for a pushchair for your entire family, whether you're expecting twins or if you have a child after having your first. Double buggies are typically heavier and bulkier as well as more expensive than single strollers. However, they are easier to maneuver in tighter doors, or around obstacles like curbs. Many are also compatible with piggyback ride-along boards (either from the manufacturer or via an additional accessory purchase) so you can transport three children at a time.

Tandem pushchairs place one child in front of the other. They're a good option for children who are of similar ages and are good friends. They're not foolproof. Siblings sitting side-by-side can kick or punch each other, and children of different heights can fight over who sits higher. This issue can be resolved by a tandem high-low model that elevates the seat to the back. Your child's older will not be sitting at the lower part of the car, and won't have much of an eye.

The iCandy Wave is a great choice for parents looking for an easy-to-use double buggy that converts to fit both a newborn in a carrycot and an older child in the main seat. It features a smart frame that expands in width when you add a second seat and folds down flat for compact storage. The padded straps, buckles, and seats are all of the best quality we have seen in our testing. You can recline both seats independently and the canopies are spacious and large with UPF 50+ protection as well as peekaboo windows.

The only drawback to the iCandy tandem is that it's a bit expensive. But a high-quality tandem will last you for many years and have an attractive resale value so in the end you'll likely recover a portion of the cost. The iCandy doesn't come with the same seating options as our other top selections. It's nevertheless an excellent choice for families that don't want spend much money.
