Buying a Tandem Double Buggy A tandem double buggy can be a great choice for twins or children who are close in age. They are a bit smaller than side by side buggies, and are ideal for tight spaces like doorways, public transport and rocky terrain. Some convert into travel systems to take 2 carrycots or car seats. However, they can be heavier and longer than single pushchairs and may not be as stable when in bumping up kerbs. Convertible Whether you're looking for a convertible single-to-double stroller or want to add an additional seat to an existing one, there are a variety of options available. The Vista V2 from UPPAbaby is a big, beautiful stroller that can easily be converted from a single model to double by adding the rumble seat (available separately). However, it's pricey and less mobile than other double strollers due to the fact that the second seat is placed behind the front seat. The Nuna Demi Grow is a comparable model with great seating flexibility, however it does not have storage under the seat when used in doubles mode. Other alternatives include all-terrain twin buggies, as well as fixed-wheel joggers that can hold two children. They are more expensive but they are designed to last longer on rough terrain and have higher resale prices. Independent recline of the seat If you require a double buggy that can transport children of different age groups, then you'll want one that has recline independent for both seats. This allows your child of a higher age to rest in the back while the baby is in the bassinet, and reverse. Think about the width of your pushchair to determine how easy it is for you to maneuver through doors and public transportation. If your doorways are very narrow, you may be considering 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 usually slightly longer than side-by-side models, and aren't as easy to manoeuvre up and down kerbs, however they can be able to accommodate a bigger range of seat/carrycot/car seat combinations making them a good option for twins or siblings of different age. These buggies are also more expensive than single-to-double buggies however they're worth it if you plan on keeping it for many years. They will also retain an impressive amount of value if you decide to sell it when your children are old enough to use it. Another important feature to look for is whether the seat backs can recline independently of each other since this will allow you to place your child in the most optimal position for napping or observation. This is crucial for children who are in the back seat and wishes to take a nap while the child in the front prefers to sit and observe the surroundings. Some brands have a unique design that allows the back of their vehicles to recline fully to a position that is almost flat, perfect for babies. The iCandy Orange, for example is a stadium-style seat that can be reclined into several positions. It also has a UPF 50+ canopy and peekaboo windows. More spacious than twin buggies It's not necessary to have twins in order to benefit from a larger double buggy – they're ideal for siblings of different ages and allow you to get around without worrying about your children touching. They're typically a bit longer with one seat positioned behind the other. The seats can be reclined completely for infants, or put in an upright position for toddlers. A popular option is the Mountain Buggy Duet, which has the slimmest side-byside design on the market and has an identical footprint to a single buggy. It also features an adjustable handle, which makes it easier for parents of different heights to push, and a handbrake that is helpful when climbing difficult terrains. It is suitable from birth and is compatible with a range of car seats and carrycots. This means it's a great travel system. The iCandy Wave is another option. It can be folded in duo or mono mode in a single click. The clever frame expands in width to accommodate the second chair and can be used up to two car seats or carrycots. This makes it a great option for older siblings who wish to be seated together. It's a bit bigger than the other models, but it still feels light and has soft suspension for the kerbs. There are double buggy for twins of 3-wheeler inline tandems available Check out Phil and Teds' inline models or iCandy's Peach and Pear buggies for instance they provide stability and swift steering. Often these can be folded down to size one buggie which is useful if you struggle with storage at home or frequently need to transport it into and out of the car when you travel on public transportation. It's worth bearing in mind that a double-buggy with a wider width will feel heavier and bulkier than a smaller single buggy, so make sure it's what you need before you purchase. It will be used on buses, trains and subways frequently, so it should be easy to operate and use. You might also have to juggle it onto 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 are a suitable candidate If you're expecting twins or have a second child after your first, you're going need to find a stroller that can accommodate the entire family. Double buggies tend to be heavier, bulkier, and more expensive than single strollers. However they are much easier to maneuver in tighter doorways and around obstacles such as curbs. sit and stand double stroller can be used with piggyback boards (available from the manufacturer or as an accessory). This lets you transport three children simultaneously. Tandem pushchairs put one child in the front of the other, and they're usually a better option for families with two children who are similar in age to get along well together. They're not completely safe. Siblings seated side-by-side may punch or kick each other, and children of different heights can fight over who sits higher. This problem can be solved by a tandem high-low design that elevates the seat in the back. Your child's older isn't seated at the lower part of the car, and won't have much of an eye. The iCandy Wave is a great alternative for parents who want an easy-to-use double buggy that converts to accommodate a newborn in a carrycot and an older child in the main seat. It has a clever frame which increases in size when you add the second child seat. It folds flat for compact storage. The padded buckles, straps and seats are all of the best quality we have encountered in our tests. The canopy is large in size with UPF 50+ protection, and peekaboo window. Both seats can recline independently. The only downside of the iCandy is that it's expensive, but a quality tandem will last for a long time and will retain its resale value. So you'll probably recoup some of the cost over the long term. It doesn't come with the same variety of seating configurations that the other top picks however the iCandy is a good choice for families that don't want to spend a lot.
