This Is What Tandem Double Buggy Will Look Like In 10 Years Time

Buying a Tandem Double Buggy

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

Some can be converted to best travel double stroller systems that use two carrycots or child car seats. However, they can be heavier and longer than single pushchairs and might feel less stable when bumping up the kerbs.

Convertible

There are a variety of options for adding a second seating or making a single stroller a smallest double buggy. The Vista V2 from UPPAbaby is a spacious, gorgeous stroller that easily converts from a single to double buggy to a double by incorporating the rumble seat (available separately). It's costly and less maneuverable than other dual strollers since the second seat is located to the left of the front seat. Nuna Demi Grow provides a similar choice but lacks storage under the seat when used as a double stroller.

Other options include twin buggies that have all-terrain wheels as well as joggers that have fixed wheels that can hold two children. They tend to be more expensive but they're designed to last longer on rough terrain and can have a higher resale value.

Independent seat recline

If you are looking for a double stroller that can accommodate children of different ages, you will need one with a recliner that is independent for both seats. This allows your child of a higher age to be able to relax while your baby is sleeping in a bassinet and vice versa.

It is also important to think about the size of the stroller as it will impact how easy it is to navigate through doors and on public transportation. If your doorways are very 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 it can accommodate two seats and car seat adaptors.

Tandem buggies are typically larger than side-by-side models, and therefore are more difficult to maneuver around and down kerbs. However they can also accommodate a wider range of combinations of seats/carrycots/car seats and can make a great option for twins and siblings of various age. They also tend to be more expensive than single-to-double Buggy with car seat buggies, but are worth the purchase if you plan to keep it for a long time and have a good amount of resale value in the event that you decide to sell it off 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 crucial for children who are in the back seat and wants to nap while the child in the front prefers to sit up and observe the surroundings.

Some brands have a unique design that allows the back seat of their vehicles to recline to a position that is nearly flat, which is ideal for infants. The iCandy Orange, for example is a stadium-style seat that can be reclined into various positions. It also comes with a UPF 50+ canopy and windows that peek out.

Wider than twin buggies

There's no need to have twins to benefit from a bigger double buggy. They're perfect for siblings of various ages and allow you to go about your day without having to worry about your children touching each other. They are usually a little bit longer with one seat positioned behind the other. The seats can be reclined fully for newborns or in 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 that is similar to the footprint of a single 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 can be used from birth and is compatible with a range of car seats and carrycots. This means it is a great travel system.

The iCandy Wave is another option. It can be folded in mono or duo mode with just a single click. Its clever frame expands in width to accommodate an additional chair and can be used up to two car seats or carrycots. This makes it an ideal option for older siblings who would like to sit together. It's slightly longer than some other models, but it's easy to steer and has soft suspension that is able to handle the 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 instance - which offer stability and swift steering. They are often folded into the size of one buggy which is useful when you have trouble storing it at home or have to carry it in and out of your car when using public transportation.

It's important to keep in mind that a wide double buggy will feel heavier and bulkier than a smaller single buggy, so make sure it's what you require before you purchase. You'll need to take it on and off trains, buses and subways regularly so it needs to be easy to operate and manage. You might also have to juggle it on and off the car seat while taking your children to school or nursery so you'll need to be aware it is able to be maneuvered in tight spaces.

From birth, you're a good candidate

You'll need a pushchair for your entire family regardless of whether you're expecting twins or you have a second child after you've had your first. Double buggies are typically a bit heavier, bulkier and cost more than single strollers. However, they can also be more maneuverable in narrower entrances or around obstacles such as curbs. Many double buggies can be used with piggyback boards (available from the manufacturer or as an add-on). This allows you to transport three children simultaneously.

Tandem pushchairs seat one child in front of the other, so they're generally a better option for families with two children that are close enough in age to be able to live well together. They're not completely safe. Siblings sitting side-by-side can punch or kick each other, and children of different heights could argue over who sits taller. A tandem high-low model is able to solve this problem by elevating the seat at the rear, which will prevent your child's older one from being on the bottom and not having much of a view.

The iCandy Wave is a good alternative for parents looking for an adjustable double buggy that can be converted into a carrycot that can accommodate both the newborn and the older child. It has a clever frame that can be expanded in width when you add the second seat, and folds flat for compact storage. The seats are cushioned and comfortable, the straps are easy to secure and the buckles are among the most comfortable we've seen on any of our tests. The canopy is large in size and UPF 50+ protection, as well as a windows that peek out. Both seats can be reclined independently.

The only downside of the iCandy is that it's a little on the expensive side however, a good tandem will last a long time and maintain its resale value, which means you'll likely recoup some of the cost in the end. The iCandy doesn't come with the same seating arrangements as our other top selections. It's nevertheless a good option for families who don't want to spend much money.
