Buying a Tandem Double Buggy

A tandem double buggy could be a great option if you have twins, or children who are close in age. They're a bit smaller than side-byside buggies, and ideal for maneuvering narrow spaces like doorways, on public transport and on rough terrain.

Many convert into travel systems to include two carrycots or car seats. However, they are heavier and longer than single pushchairs and may not be as stable when as they bump up kerbs.

Convertible

There are many options for adding a second seat or changing a single stroller into a double. The Vista V2 from UPPAbaby is a big, beautiful stroller that converts easily from a single model to a cheap double buggy by adding the rumble seating (available separately). It's costly and less mobile than other double strollers since the second seat is placed behind the front seat. Nuna Demi Grow offers a similar option, but it lacks storage underneath the seat when it is used as a double stroller.

Other options include all terrain double stroller (click here to investigate)-terrain twin buggies and fixed-wheel joggers that can accommodate two children. These tend to be more expensive but they're designed for long trips over rough terrain, and may have a higher resale value.

Reclining the seat independently

If you want a double stroller which can accommodate children of various age groups, you'll need one with independent seat recliner for both seats. This allows your older child to rest while the baby is sleeping in a bassinet, and reverse.

Consider the width of your pushchair twin and consider the ease of you to maneuver through doors and on public transportation. If your doorways are very narrow, you might think about a side by side pushchair, such as 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 tend to be longer than side by side models, which makes them more difficult to maneuver around and down kerbs. However, they can accommodate more combinations of seats/carrycots/car seats and can make an excellent choice for twins and siblings of different ages. They are also more expensive than single-to-double buggies but they're well worth the cost if you plan to keep it for a few years. They will also retain an impressive amount of value if you decide to sell it when your kids have outgrown the buggie.

This feature allows you to put your child in an ideal position for naps or to observe. This is crucial for children who are in the back seat and wants to nap while the older child prefers to sit up to observe the surrounding.

Some brands have a unique design that allows the back of their vehicles to recline into a position that's almost flat, perfect for newborns. The iCandy Orange, for example, has stadium-style seating that can be reclined to multiple positions. It also has UPF 50+ canopy and windows that peek out.

Wider than twin buggies

It's not necessary to have twins in order to benefit from a wider double buggy - they're ideal for siblings of different age groups. They allow you to go about your day without having to worry about your children touching. They're typically a little larger too with one seat placed behind the other and usually offering a fully-flat recline for babies (or a more upright position for toddlers).

Mountain Buggy Duet is a popular choice. It is the slimmest design of the two-in-ones on the market and a footprint that is similar to the footprint of a single stroller. It also has an adjustable handle, making it easy for parents of different heights to push, and a handbrake, which is helpful when climbing steep hills. It is suitable for use from birth, and can be used with a range of car seats and carrycots.

Another alternative is the iCandy Wave, which has the convenience of a single click to fold and is able to be used in mono or duo mode. The frame's clever design can be expanded to accommodate a second seat and it can be used with two car seats or carrycots which makes it an ideal option for older siblings that want to sit in a group and share the view. It's a bit longer than other models, but it's 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 quick steering. Take a look at Phil and Teds inline models or iCandy Peach and Pear buggies. They are often folded into a single buggy in case you have a small space at home or you need to transport it from the car to the bus.

Be aware that a two-wheeled buggy is heavier and bulkier than one compact buggy. Be sure to know what you want before you purchase. It is likely to be used on trains, buses and subways frequently, therefore it must be simple to operate and use. You may 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 know it's easy to maneuver in small spaces.

From birth, you're an ideal candidate

You'll need a stroller for your entire family regardless of whether you're expecting twins or you have a second child after having your first. Double buggies tend to be heavier and bulkier, as well as more expensive than single strollers. However, they are more maneuverable in tighter doors or around obstacles such as curbs. They are also compatible with piggyback ride-along boards (either from the manufacturer or through an additional accessory purchase) which means you can carry three children at once.

Tandem pushchairs put one child in front of the other, and they're usually a better option for families with two children who are close enough in age to get along well. However, they're not 100% secure Side-by-side chairs may punch or kick each other, and children with different heights may argue over who should sit higher. This problem can be solved by a tandem high-low model that elevates the seat in the back. Your older child isn't seated at the bottom of the car and won't have much of an opportunity to see.

The iCandy Wave is a great choice for parents looking for an easy-to-use double buggy that converts to fit both a newborn in a carrycot, and an older child in the main seat. It has an innovative frame that increases in size when you add a second child seat. It can also fold flat for compact storage. The cushioned seats are comfortable, the straps are easy to fasten and the buckles some of the most impressive we've seen in any of our tests. The canopies are large in size and UPF 50+ protection, as well as a peekaboo window. Both seats can recline independently.

The only drawback of the iCandy is that it's a little expensive but a high-quality tandem will last for a long time and maintain its resale value, so you'll probably recoup some of the cost over the long term. The iCandy doesn't have the same seating options as our other top picks. However, it's an ideal choice for families that don't want spend much cash.
