Buying a Tandem Double Buggy

A tandem double buggy could be a great option for twins or children who are very close in age. They are narrower than side by side buggies and are great for narrow spaces like doorways, public transport and terrain that is rocky.

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

Convertible

There are many options for adding a second seat or changing a single stroller into a double. The UPPAbaby V2 is spacious, gorgeous stroller. It can easily be transformed from a single stroller to a double by adding an rumble seat. It is more expensive and less maneuverable since the second seat is located in front of the first seat. The Nuna Demi Grow is a similar model with great seating versatility but lacks under-seat storage when used in doubles mode.

Other options include all-terrain twin strollers for newborns buggies, as well as fixed-wheel joggers that can hold two children. These tend to be more expensive, however they're designed to last longer on rough terrain and could have a higher resale value.

Reclining the seat independently

If you require a double buggy that can transport children of different age groups, then you'll need a buggy that has an recline independent for both seats. This will allow your older child to relax while the baby is sleeping in a bassinet, and the reverse is true.

Consider the width of your stroller and consider how easy it is for you to get through doors and public transportation. If you have extremely narrow doors, it could be worth considering 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, but can still use two seats and car seat adaptors.

Tandem buggies generally are smaller than side-byside models, and aren't as easily maneuverable up and down kerbs, but they can accommodate a wider range of car/car/seat combinations, so can be a good option for twins or siblings of different age groups. They can also be more expensive than single-to-lightest double stroller buggies but are worth the investment if you plan to keep it for many years and will retain a decent amount of resale value in the event that you decide to sell it when your children have grown out of it.

Another crucial thing to look for is if the backs of the seats can recline independently of each other as this will let you place your child in the most optimal position for naps or watching. This is particularly important if you have a child younger than in the rear seat who will prefer to lay back and sleep while the older child wants to sit and observe their surroundings.

A few brands have an exclusive seat design that allows the back seat to completely recline into a nearly flat position, which is ideal for newborns. The iCandy Orange, for example, has stadium-style seating that can be reclined in several positions. It also offers UPF 50+ sun protection and peekaboo windows.

Wider than twin buggies

You don't need to have twins to benefit from a wider double car seat stroller buggy - they're ideal for siblings of various age groups. They allow you to go about your day without worrying about your children touching each other. They're usually a bit larger with one seat placed behind the other and usually offering a fully-flat recline for newborns (or an upright position for toddlers).

A popular choice is the Mountain Buggy Duet, which is the tiniest side-by-side model on the market and has the same footprint as one buggy. It also has an adjustable handle, which makes it easy for parents of different heights to push, and a handbrake, which is useful when tackling difficult terrains. It is suitable for use from birth, and can be used with a wide range of car seats and carrycots.

Another option is the iCandy Wave, which has the convenience of a single click to fold and can be used in mono or duo mode. 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 a fantastic option for older siblings who want to sit together. It's a bit longer than other models, yet it's light to steer and comes with soft suspension that can handle kerbs.

There are also plenty of 3-wheeler inline tandems available such as Phil and Teds' inline models or iCandy's Peach and Pear buggies for instance that provide stability and quick steering. Most of them can be folded into the size of one buggie, which is helpful if you struggle with storage at home or have to transport it into and out of your car when you travel on public transportation.

It's important to remember that a wide double buggy will feel heavier and bulkier than a single buggy that is smaller So make sure you're getting what you need before you buy. You'll have to get it off and on subways, buses, and trains often, so it should be simple to use and manage. You may also have to juggle it on and off the car seat while taking your children to nursery or school so you'll need to know it can be easily manoeuvred in small spaces.

The best time to start is when you are born.

If you're expecting twins, or have a second child after your first, you're likely to need to find a stroller that can accommodate the entire family. Double buggies are typically larger, heavier and more expensive than single strollers, but they are also more maneuverable through narrower doors or around obstacles like curbs. They are also compatible with piggyback ride-along boards (either from the manufacturer or through a separate accessory purchase) which means you can carry three children at once.

Tandem pushchairs put one child in front of the other. They're a great option for children who are close in age and get along well. But they're not foolproof Side-by-side chairs can kick or punch each other, and children on different heights can squabble over who should sit higher. A tandem high-low model is able to solve this issue by elevating the seat to the rear, which prevents your child's older one from sitting on the bottom and not getting any view.

The iCandy Wave is a great option for parents looking for an easy-to-use convertible double buggy that can accommodate a newborn in a carrycot as well as an older child in the main seat. It has a clever frame that expands widthways when you add the second seat. It folds flat for compact storage. The padded buckles, straps and seats are all terrain double stroller of the highest quality we have encountered in our testing. You can recline both seats independently, and the canopies are big and spacious with UPF 50+ protection and windows that can be seen from a distance.

The only drawback of the iCandy is that it's a little on the expensive side but a high-quality tandem will last for a long time and maintain its resale value, which means you'll probably get back some of the cost over the long term. The iCandy doesn't come with the same seating options as our other top choices. However, it's an excellent choice for families that don't want spend a lot of money.
