5 Clarifications On Tandem Double Buggy

Buying a Tandem Double Buggy

If you have twins or children very similar in age, a tandem double seat stroller buggie is a great choice. They are narrower than side by side buggies and are perfect for narrow spaces like doorways, public transport and terrain that is rocky.

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

Convertible

There are many options for adding a second seat or converting a single stroller to a double. The Vista V2 from UPPAbaby is big, beautiful stroller that can easily be converted from a single to a double pushchair sale by adding the rumble seating (available separately). It is more expensive and less maneuverable because the second seat is positioned behind the first seat. The Nuna Demi Grow is a similar model with great seating flexibility, however it isn't equipped with storage under the seat when used in doubles mode.

Other alternatives include all-terrain twin buggy from birth (click through the following page) buggies as well as fixed-wheel joggers that can hold two children. These tend to be more expensive but they're designed to last longer on rough terrain and can have a higher resale value.

From birth

There will be a need for a pushchair for your entire family, whether you're expecting twins, or if you have a child after having your first. Double buggies tend to be heavier, bulkier, and more expensive than single strollers double strollers. However they are much more maneuverable in narrower doorways, or around obstacles like curbs. Many are also compatible with piggyback ride-along boards (either from the manufacturer or through a separate accessory purchase) so you can transport three children at the same time.

Tandem pushchairs put one child ahead of the other. They're a great option for children who are similar in age and are able to get along. They're not foolproof. Siblings seated side-by-side may punch or kick each other and children with different heights can fight over who sits taller. This issue can be resolved by a tandem high-low model that raises the seat to the rear. Your child's older 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 a newborn into a carrycot as well as an older child in the main seat.

Both seats are reclined independently.

The only drawback to the iCandy tandem is that it is a bit expensive. But a high-quality tandem will last for a long time and will have an attractive resale value so in the end you'll probably recoup some of the cost. It also doesn't offer the same variety of seating configurations as some of our other top picks however, the iCandy is a good choice for families who don't want to spend a lot.
