What Do You Know About Tandem Double Buggy?

Buying a Tandem Double Buggy

If you have twins or children very similar in age, a tandem double buggie is a great choice. They're smaller than side-by-side buggies, and ideal for maneuvering tight spaces such as doors, on public transport and on rough terrain.

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

Convertible

There are many options to add a second seat or converting a single stroller to a double. The UPPAbaby Vista V2 is a big, beautiful stroller that can easily be converted from a single model to double by adding the rumble seat (available separately). It is more expensive and less maneuverable since the second seat is placed in front of the first seat. The Nuna Demi Grow is a similar model with great seating flexibility, however it does not have storage under the seat when used in doubles mode.

Other options include twin strollers for newborns buggies with all-terrain wheels, and joggers with fixed wheels that can accommodate two kids. These tend to be more expensive but they're designed to last longer on rough terrain and can have a higher resale value.

Independent recline of the seat

If you're looking for a double to single buggy stroller that will accommodate children of different age groups, you'll require one with an independent recliner for both seats. This allows your child of a higher age to rest in the back while the baby is in the bassinet and the reverse.

Take into consideration the size of your pushchair to determine the ease of you to get through doors and on public transportation. If your doorways are very narrow, you might want to consider a side by side pushchair like the Mountain Buggy Duet. It has a footprint that is similar to a single stroller however can still accommodate 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, however, they can accommodate a wider range of car seat/car seat combinations, and are a great option for twins or siblings of various ages. They can also be more expensive than single-to-double seat Stroller (witiai.cn) buggies, but are a good investment if you intend to keep it for many years and have a good amount of resale value should you sell it on after your children have grown out of it.

Another crucial thing to look for is if the seat backs are able to recline independently of each other because this allows you to put your child in the best twin buggy position to nap or observe. This is particularly important if you have a young child in the rear seat who will be inclined to lie down and take a snooze while the older child would prefer to sit and observe their surroundings.

Certain brands have a distinctive design that allows the back seat of their vehicles to recline into a position that's almost flat, ideal for newborns. For instance the iCandy Orange has raised stadium-style seating and can recline both the toddler seat that comes with it and the additional RumbleSeat into various positions so your kids can have the option of deciding where to sit, and also comes with an excellent UPF 50+ canopy that has windows that peek out.

Wider than twin buggies

They are great for siblings of different age groups, and they allow you to move about without having to worry about your children touching. They're typically a little longer too, with one seat sitting behind the other, and typically with a fully-flat recline option for newborns (or a more upright position for toddlers).

Mountain Buggy Duet is a popular choice. It is the slimmest design side-by-side on the market, and a footprint comparable to one stroller. It also has an adjustable handle, making it easier for parents of various heights to push and a handbrake that is helpful when climbing difficult hills. It can be used from birth and is compatible with a range of car seats and carrycots, which means it is a great travel system.

The iCandy Wave is another option. It can be folded in mono or duo mode in a single click. Its clever frame can be expanded widthwise to accommodate a second chair and can be used with up to two car seats or carrycots making it a great choice for older siblings who wish to sit together and share the view. It's slightly longer than some other models but still feels light to steer and comes with soft suspension to tackle the kerbs.

There are plenty of 3-wheeler tandems that have inline wheels that offer stability and swift steering. Check out Phil and Teds inline models as well as iCandy Peach and Pear buggies. Most of them can be folded down to the size of a single buggy, which is helpful if you struggle with storage at home or need to lug it in and out of the car on public transport.

It's important to keep in mind that a double-buggy with a wider width will be heavier and bulkier than a smaller single buggy Make sure that you're getting what you need before you buy. You'll have to get it on and off subways, buses, and trains often, so it should be simple to use and manage. You may also need to juggle it on and off the car seat when taking your children to school or nursery so you'll need to be aware it can be easily manoeuvred in tight spaces.

From birth

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 larger, heavier and more expensive than single strollers double. However, they are also more maneuverable in narrower entrances or around obstacles like curbs. They are also compatible with piggyback ride-along boards (either from the manufacturer or as an accessory purchase) so you can transport three children at a time.

Tandem pushchairs double put one child in front of the other, and they're generally a better option for families with two children that are close enough in age to function well. They're not completely safe. Siblings seated side-by-side may punch or kick one another and children with different heights could argue over who sits higher. This issue can be resolved by a tandem high-low design that elevates the seat at the rear. Your child's older will not be seated on the lower part of the car, and won't have much of an opportunity to see.

The iCandy Wave is a great alternative for parents who want an easy-to-use convertible double buggy that can fit both a newborn in a carrycot as well as an older child in the main seat. It features a smart frame that can be expanded in width when you add a second seat, and folds flat to make it a compact storage. The cushioned straps, buckles, and seats are all of the highest quality we have seen in our testing. The canopy is large in size and UPF 50+ protection, and a peekaboo window. Both seats can be reclined independently.

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