Buying a Tandem Double Buggy If you have twins or children similar in age, a tandem double buggy 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 on rough terrain. Some can be converted to travel systems that take two carrycots or car seats for children. However, they are heavier and longer than single pushchairs, and might feel less stable when in bumping up the kerbs. Convertible There are a variety of options to add a second seat or converting a single stroller to a double. The UPPAbaby V2 is a large, beautiful stroller. It can easily be transformed from a single stroller to a double by adding a rumble seat. It is more expensive and less maneuverable because the second seat is positioned in front of the first seat. Nuna Demi Grow is a similar model but lacks storage underneath the seat when it is used as a double stroller. Other options include twin buggies with all-terrain wheels and joggers with fixed wheels that can hold two children. They are more expensive but they are made for long trips on rough terrain and have more expensive resales. Independent recline of the seat If you want a double stroller which can accommodate children of different age groups, you'll require one with an independent recliner for both seats. This will allow your older child to rest in the back while the baby is in the bassinet, and reverse. Think about double to single buggy of your pushchair to determine the ease of you to get through doors and on public transport. If you have narrow doorways then it might be a good idea to consider a side-byside pushchair like the Mountain Buggy Duet which has the benefit of having a footprint that is similar to a single buggy, however, it is able to accommodate two seats and car seat adaptors. Tandem buggies are generally longer 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 car seats/car seats/seats and are a great option for twins and siblings of different age. These buggies are also more expensive than single buggies to double however they're worth it if you intend to keep it for a number of years. They also hold an impressive amount of value if you decide to sell it when your children have outgrown the buggie. This feature allows you to place your child in an ideal position for naps or to observe. This is crucial for children who are in the back seat and would like to take a nap while the older child prefers to sit and observe the surroundings. A few brands have a unique design for their seats that allows the back seat to completely recline to an almost flat position which is perfect for newborns. For example, the iCandy Orange has raised stadium-style seating that can recline both the toddler seat that comes with it and the add-on RumbleSeat into various positions to give your kids a the option of deciding where to sit as well as providing an excellent UPF 50+ canopy with peekaboo windows. Wider than twin buggies They are ideal for siblings of different age groups, and you can move around without worrying about your children touching. They're usually a bit larger too with one seat positioned behind the other and usually offering a fully-flat recline for infants (or an upright position for toddlers). A popular choice is the Mountain Buggy Duet, which is the tiniest side-by-side model available and has a footprint similar to a single buggy. It also features an adjustable handle, which makes it easier for parents of different heights to push as well as a handbrake, which can be useful when you have to climb difficult hills. It is suitable from birth and is compatible with a variety of car seats and carrycots, which means it's a great travel system. The iCandy Wave is another option. It can be folded in mono or duo mode in a single click. Its innovative frame can be expanded to accommodate a second seat and it can be used with two carrycots or car seats which makes it an ideal option for older siblings who want 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 kerbs. There are also plenty of 3-wheeler inline tandems that are available Check out Phil and Teds inline models, or iCandy's Peach and Pear buggies for instance that provide stability and swift steering. Often these can be folded into the size of one buggie which is useful when you have trouble storing it at home or frequently need to lug it in and out of the boot when using public transportation. It's worth bearing in mind that a double-buggy with a wider width will feel bulkier and heavier than a single buggy that is smaller, so make sure it's what you require before you purchase. You'll have to get it off and on subways, buses, and trains frequently, so it must be easy to use and manage. You might need to manage the car seat when you take your child to school or nursery. Suitable from birth If you're expecting twins, or have a second child after your first, you're likely to need to find a stroller that can accommodate the entire family. Double buggies tend to be a bit heavier, bulkier and more expensive than single strollers, however they can also be easier to manoeuvre through narrower doors or around obstacles like curbs. Many double buggies are compatible with piggyback boards (available from the manufacturer or as an add-on). This lets you transport three children at once. Tandem pushchairs place one child in front of the other. They are a good option if your children are close in age and are able to get along. They're not 100% secure. Siblings who are sitting side-by-side could kick or punch each other, and children of different heights may fight over who is sitting higher. A tandem high-low model could solve this issue by elevating the seat to the rear, which will prevent your child's older one from being sat on the bottom and not getting the best view. The iCandy Wave is a great option for parents looking for an easy-to-use double buggy that converts to fit a newborn into a carrycot as well as an older child in the main seat. It has an innovative frame that increases in size when you add a second child seat. It folds flat for compact storage. The cushioned straps, buckles, and seats are all of the highest quality we have encountered in our testing. The canopy is large in size, 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 bit expensive however, a good tandem will last for a long time and will retain its resale value, which means you'll likely recoup some of the cost over the long term. It doesn't have the same variety of seating options as others of our top picks however the iCandy is a great choice for families who don't wish to shell out a lot of money.
