Why Tandem Double Buggy Is A Must At The Very Least Once In Your Lifetime

Buying a Tandem Double Buggy

If you have twins or children very similar in age, a tandem double buggy that converts to single buggy is a great choice. They are a bit smaller than side by side buggies and are perfect for tight spaces like doorways, public transport and rocky terrain.

Some transform into travel systems that take 2 carrycots or car seats. However, they can be heavier and longer than single pushchairs and might feel less stable when bumping up the kerbs.

Convertible

If you're looking for a convertible stroller that can be converted from a single to a double or to add a second seat to an existing one, there's several options available. The UPPAbaby V2 is a large, beautiful stroller. It is easily converted from a single to a dual by adding a Rumble seat. However, it's expensive and less maneuverable than other dual strollers due to the fact that the second seat is placed behind the front seat. The Nuna Demi Grow is a similar model with great seating flexibility, however it lacks under-seat storage when used in doubles mode.

Other options include twin buggies that have all-terrain wheels, and joggers with fixed wheels that can be used to carry two children. They tend to be more expensive, but they're made for long trips over rough terrain and could have greater resales value.

Reclining the seat independently

If you need a cheap double stroller buggy that is able to transport children of various ages then you're going to require a model with an recline 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 the reverse is true.

You'll also have to consider the width of the pushchair as this will impact the ease of get through doors and on public transportation. If you have very narrow doorways then it might 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 use two seats and car seat adaptors.

Tandem buggies tend to be longer than side by side models, which makes them more difficult to maneuver around and down kerbs. However they can be able to accommodate more combinations of car seats, carrycots and seats and can make an excellent choice for twins and siblings of various ages. They are also more expensive than single-to-double buggies, but they're worth it if you plan on keeping it for many years. They also hold some value when sold once your children have outgrown the buggie.

This feature allows you to place your child in the most comfortable position for naps or to observe. This is important if your child is in the back seat and would like to rest while the child in the front prefers to sit up to observe the surrounding.

A few brands have an exclusive seat design that allows the back seat to completely recline into a nearly flat position that is perfect for infants. The iCandy Orange, for example has a stadium-style seating option that can be reclined to various positions. It also offers a UPF 50+ canopy and peekaboo windows.

Wider than twin buggies

Be aware that a double travel stroller wide buggy will be more heavy and heavier than one compact buggy. Be sure to know what you want before you buy. You'll need to take it on and off subways, buses, and trains regularly so it needs to be easy to operate and manage. You may also need to move it on and off the car seat while taking your children to school or nursery so you'll need to ensure it can be easily manoeuvred within small spaces.

Suitable from birth

If you're expecting twins or have a second child after your first, you're likely to need to find an appropriate pushchair for the whole family. double prams with shock-Absorbing suspension buggies are generally a bit heavier, bulkier and more expensive than single strollers, however they can also be more maneuverable in narrower entrances or around obstacles like curbs. Many are also compatible with piggyback ride-along boards (either from the manufacturer or as a separate accessory purchase) to allow you to transport three children at a time.

Tandem pushchairs place one child in front of the other. They're a good choice if your children are similar in age and get along well. They're not 100% secure. Siblings who are sitting side-by-side could punch or kick each other, and children of different heights could argue over who sits higher. This issue can be addressed by a tandem high-low model that elevates the seat in the back. Your child's older will not be sitting at the bottom of the car and won't have much of a look out.
