Buying a Tandem Double Buggy

A tandem double pushchairs for toddlers buggy can be a great choice when you have twins or children who are very close in age. They're smaller than side-by-side buggies and ideal for navigating narrow spaces like doorways, on public transport and on rough terrain.

Many convert into travel systems to take 2 carrycots or car seats. They are often heavier, longer and less stable than a single pushchair.

Convertible

If you're looking for a convertible stroller that converts from single to double or to add an additional seat to an existing one, there are many options to choose from. The UPPAbaby V2 is a spacious, gorgeous stroller. It can be easily converted from a single to a dual by adding the Rumble seat. However, it's expensive and less maneuverable than other dual strollers due to the fact that the second seat goes in front of the front seat. The Nuna Demi Grow is a comparable model with great seating flexibility, however it isn't equipped with storage under the seat when used in doubles mode.

Other options include all-terrain twin 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 may have greater resales value.

Reclining the seat independently

If you want a double stroller that can accommodate children of various ages, you will need one with a recliner that is independent for both seats. This will allow your older child to relax while the baby is in a bassinet and the reverse is true.

You'll also have to think about the size of the pushchair twin as it will impact the ease of navigate through doors and on public transport. If you have narrow doorways then it might be a good idea to consider a side-byside 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 take 2 seats and car seat adaptors.

Tandem buggies generally are a little longer than side-by-side models and so aren't as easy to manoeuvre up and down kerbs, however they can be able to accommodate a wider range of car seat/car seat combinations, so can be a good option for twins or siblings of different age groups. They are also more expensive than single-to-double buggies, but are a good investment if you intend to keep it for many years and have a good amount of resale value in the event that you decide to sell it off when your children are out of it.

Another important feature to look for is whether the seat backs are able to recline independently from one another because this allows you to put your child in the most optimal position for naps or watching. This is crucial for children who are in the back seat and wants to rest while the more mature child prefers to sit up and observe the surrounding.

Certain 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. For instance the iCandy Orange has raised stadium-style seating and can recline the included toddler seat and the additional RumbleSeat to multiple positions, so your kids can have the option of where they want to sit, as well as offering an excellent UPF 50+ canopy with windows that peek out.

Wider than Bambisol Twin Pushchair: Birth to Ultra-Compact Design buggies

There's no need to have twins in order to benefit from a larger double buggy. They're great for siblings of different age groups and let you move around without worrying about your children touching each other. They're typically a more spacious with one seat in front of the other. The seats can be reclined fully for infants, or put in an upright position for toddlers.

Mountain Buggy Duet is a popular option. It is the slimmest design of the two-in-ones on the market and a footprint that is comparable to 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, meaning it is a great travel system.

The iCandy Wave is another option. It folds in either mono or duo mode with just one click. The clever frame can be expanded to accommodate a second chair and can be used with up to two car seats or carrycots. This makes it a great choice for older siblings that wish to be seated together. It's slightly bigger than the other models, but it still feels light and has a comfortable suspension for curbs.

There are plenty of 3-wheeler tandems with inline tires that provide stability and fast steering. Take a look at Phil and Teds inline models, or iCandy Peach and Pear buggies. Often these can be folded into the size of one buggie, which is helpful if you struggle with storage at home or need to lug it in and out of your car when you travel on public transport.

Be aware that a double-wide buggy will be heavier and more bulkier than one compact buggy. Be sure to know what you want prior to making a buy. It is likely to be used on trains, buses and subways often, therefore it must be simple to use and manage. You might also have to juggle it on and off the car seat when you take 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 are a good candidate

If you're expecting twins or have another child after your first, you're going to need to find a pushchair that fits the entire family. Double buggies tend to be a bit heavier, bulkier and cost more than single strollers. 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) which means you can carry three children at the same time.

Tandem pushchairs place one child in the front of the other, and they're often a better choice when you have two children who are similar in age to be able to live well. They're not foolproof. Siblings seated side-by-side may kick or punch each other, and children of different heights may fight over who sits higher. This issue can be addressed by a tandem high-low design that elevates the seat to the rear. Your child's older one will not be seated on the bottom of the car and won't get much of an opportunity to see.

The iCandy Wave is a good alternative for parents looking for a convertible double buggy that includes a carrycot that can accommodate both infants and an older child. It has an intelligent frame that expands in width when you add the second child seat. It folds flat for storage that is compact. The padded seats are comfortable, the straps are easy to secure and the buckles some of the most comfortable we've seen on any of our tests. You can recline both seats independently and the canopy is big and spacious with UPF 50+ protection and windows that peek out.

The only drawback of the iCandy is that it's expensive, but a quality tandem will last a long time and will retain its resale value. So you'll probably get back some of the cost in the end. The iCandy does not have the same seating arrangements as our other top picks. It's nevertheless an excellent choice for families who don't wish to spend a lot of money.
