Which Double Tandem Pushchair is Best For Your Family?

When you're preparing for twins or another child there are plenty of products available to make life with kids on the move more comfortable. One of these is the double tandem pushchair.

From Phil & Teds, to Baby Jogger, most brands offer a double stroller as part of their product range. They can come as side-by-side or inline convertible models.

Stability

If you have twins, or children close in age, a double tandem pushchair makes travelling with two of them much more enjoyable and comfortable. There are numerous styles and configurations available it can be hard to determine which one is best for your family. Some are better suited for running, while others can accommodate a third person when you add a buggyboard. Which ones are the most stable, though?

Tandem models that can seat one behind the other are more manageable than side-by-side pushchairs. However, they're not as sturdy as single strollers or car seats. They can be difficult to climb up curbs and could have less storage capacity than a side-byside pushchair.

To get a really good feel for the stability of doubles, you have to try it out using both seats because that is the way you will be using it the most often. Check the ease with which it is for you to maneuver and steer the vehicle, particularly in tight corners or with the front wheels that swivel. It is also important to test the brakes, as they may be difficult to operate when both child seats have been connected.

The Phil & Teds Sports Double is the perfect double stroller for those who want a durable stroller at a reasonable price that can be used for all.

The seat comes with an excellent storage basket beneath the seat, but it is partially blocked by the second child's seat.

Comfort

Side-by-side models are generally more expensive than tandem buggies, but they offer the most flexibility because they are designed to fit in narrow doors and aisles. They aren't easy to move up kerbs, and heavy to push, but they have a front-loaded load that helps to distribute the weight.

Flexibility
