Why Do So Many People Want To Know About Tandem Double Buggy

Buying a Tandem Double stroller with parent tray Buggy

A tandem double buggy can be a fantastic option for twins or children who are very close in age. They're smaller than side-by-side buggies and ideal for navigating tight spaces, such as entrances, on public transportation and on rocky terrain.

Some transform into travel systems that include two carrycots or car seats. They are typically heavier, longer and less stable than a single pushchair.

Convertible

If you're looking for convertible stroller that converts from single to double or to add an additional seat to an existing one, there are a variety of options available. The UPPAbaby V2 is a large, beautiful stroller. It can be easily transformed from a single stroller to a dual by adding the Rumble seat. However, it's expensive and less mobile than other double strollers because the 2nd seat is placed behind the front seat. The Nuna Demi Grow is a similar model with great seating versatility but does not have storage under the seat when used in doubles mode.

Other options include all-terrain twin umbrella stroller buggies, as well as fixed-wheel joggers that can accommodate two children. They are more expensive but they are designed to last longer on rough terrain and have higher resale prices.

Reclining the seat independently

If you are looking for a double stroller for twins stroller that can accommodate children of various ages, you will need one with independent seat recliner for both seats. This allows your child of a higher age to relax in the back while the baby sleeps in the bassinet, and reverse.

You'll also have to consider the width of the pushchair as this will impact the ease of navigate through doors and on public transport. If your doors are 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 typically larger 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 the perfect choice for twins and siblings of various age groups. They are more expensive than single to double buggies, but they're worth it if you plan to keep it for a number of years. They'll also keep a good amount of value when sold once your children have outgrown it.

Another important feature to look out for is if the seat backs are able to recline independently of each other since this will allow you to put your child in the most optimal position for naps or watching. This is essential for children who are in the back seat and wishes to take a nap while the more mature child prefers to sit up and observe the surrounding.

Certain brands have a unique design that allows the back of their vehicles to recline into a position that is nearly flat, which is ideal for newborns. For example, the iCandy Orange has raised stadium-style seating and can recline the toddler seat that comes with it as well as the optional RumbleSeat to multiple positions, so that your children have a the option of deciding where to sit, and also comes with an excellent UPF 50+ canopy that has windows that peek out.

More spacious than twin buggies

There's no need to have twins in order to benefit from a larger double to single buggy buggy. They're perfect for siblings of various age groups and let you get around without having to worry about your children touching each other. They're typically a bit longer too with one seat positioned behind the other and offering a fully-flat recline for babies (or a more upright position for toddlers).

A popular choice is the Mountain Buggy Duet, which is the tiniest side-by-side model available and features a footprint similar to a single buggy. It features an adjustable handle that makes it easier for parents to push, and a handbrake which can be useful on hills that are steep. It is suitable for use from birth, and can be used with a range of car seats and carrycots.

The iCandy Wave is another option. It can be folded in either mono or duo mode in a single click. Its innovative frame can be expanded widthwise to accommodate a second chair and can be used with two car seats or carrycots making it a great option for older siblings who wish to sit together and enjoy the view. It's a bit larger than other models, but it still feels light and has soft suspension for curbs.

There are a lot of 3-wheeler tandems inline available Check out Phil and Teds' inline models or iCandy's Peach and Pear buggies, for example - which provide stability and quick steering. They can be folded into a single buggy if you are limited in space at home, or need to transport it from your car to the bus station.

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 you're getting what you need before you buy. You'll be taking it on and off subways, buses, and trains often, so it should be simple to use and manage. You might need to manage the car seat in and out when you take your child to school or nursery.

From birth

If you're expecting twins, or have a second child after your first, you're likely to need to find an appropriate pushchair for the whole family. Double buggies are generally slightly heavier, bulkier and more expensive than single strollers, but they can also be easier to maneuver through narrower doors or around obstacles like curbs. Many double buggies 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 front of the other. They are a good option if your children are of similar ages and are able to get along. But they're not foolproof Side-by-side chairs could kick or punch each other, and children on different heights can squabble over who gets to 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 lowest part of the car and won't be able to get an opportunity to see.

The iCandy Wave is a great alternative for parents who want an easy-to-use double buggy that converts to fit both a newborn in a carrycot as well as an older child in the main seat. It has a clever frame that can be expanded in width when you add the second seat and folds down to flattish storage. The cushioned seats are comfortable, the straps easy to secure and the buckles are among the most impressive we've seen in any of our tests. The seats can be reclined independently, and the canopies are spacious and large with UPF 50+ protection and windows that peek out.

The only drawback to the iCandy is that it's a little expensive, but a quality tandem will last for a long time and will retain its resale value, which means you'll probably recoup some of the cost in the end. The iCandy doesn't have the same seating arrangements as our other top picks. However, it's an excellent choice for families that don't want spend lots of cash.
