Which Double Tandem Pushchair is Best For Your Family?
If you're preparing for twins or another child, there are plenty of products available to help make your life with children moving around more comfortable. One of these is the double tandem pushchair (read this blog post from ling.teasg.tw).
Many brands have double buggy options as part of their line, ranging from Phil & Teds to Baby Jogger. They are available in line or side-by-side convertible models.
Stability
Whether you have twins or children of similar age, a double tandem pushchair makes traveling with two children much easier and more comfortable. There are numerous styles and configurations out there it can be hard to decide which one is best for your family. Some are better for running than others, or fit a third seat when you add a buggy board. But which ones are the most sturdy?
Side-by-side pushchairs (like the CYBEX Gazelle S) are perfect for transporting children of the same age. They aren't easy to maneuver through narrow doorways or shopping aisles. In this case it is best to go with a stadium-style model, like the Bugaboo Donkey or Mountain Buggy Duet which allows children to either face either you or the other based on the configuration.
Tandem models that place one behind the other are more manageable than side-by-side pushchairs, but they are still not as stable as single strollers and car seats. They can also be tough to get up curbs and may have less storage capacity than a side-byside pushchair.
To get a really good feeling for the stability of a cheap double buggy, you need to test it out using both seats since this is the way you will use it most often. You should check the ease with which you can navigate and steer, particularly in tight corners or when using the front wheels that swivel. It is recommended to test the brakes, too because they may be difficult to operate when both child seats are attached.
If you're looking for a top-quality double stroller at a reasonable price that does everything, look no further than Phil and Teds Sport Double. This sleek, compact pushchair can be changed from a single model to tandem in a couple of simple steps. The seat and carrycot can be used with the parent facing or facing one another. Its air-filled tires as well as all-wheel suspension allow it to take on a variety of terrains. The seat has a handy storage basket under the seat, but it is partially restricted by the second child's seat.
Comfort
There is a double stroller suitable for any family, regardless of whether you have twins or a toddler newborn. They can generally transport both children side-by-side, however many can also convert into single pushchairs (although this usually involves the removal of one seat). They tend to be larger than a single buggy however, they are generally able to provide ultra flexibility and value for money.
In our recent double pushchair reviews, we asked users to rate each model based on a variety of factors including ride comfort, ease of use and how well it folded. They also evaluated how easy it was to take the car seat into and out and whether it could be used in conjunction with a baby carrier.
The Stroller & Co City Tour 2 Double is a fantastic example of a comfortable, flexible and light dual stroller. The reviewers who reviewed it praised its large UPF 50+ canopy, which provides real shade with a peekaboo feature. Both seats can be reclined into multiple positions by pressing the button. One seat can also be set to lie flat, so a newborn can sleep comfortably in the carrycot attached above it.
Other fantastic features of this pushchair include the padded handlebar that comes with a cup pouch and holder and the easy-to-use brake system and the reversible seat liner made of bamboo that is naturally anti-bacterial on one side and soft jersey on the other. The ability to be folded in just one hand is also an amazing feature, especially when you're looking after two little ones.
Side-by-side models are typically more expensive than tandem buggies, however they can provide ultimate flexibility because they are made to fit into narrow aisles and doors. They can be a burden to push and can be difficult to move up kerbs but most do have an front-loaded weight that helps to balance the overall load.
Flexibility
Whether you're looking to keep your twins close or have a toddler and newborn, a double tandem pushchair can be a great addition to your family. This will keep your children happy by stopping them from arguing or waking each other up. This kind of buggy is ideal if you're planning to take it on public transport, as it can be more easily incorporated into the space available.
Some models can offer ultra flexibility, converting back to single mode if your child is ready for strollers without having to buy an entirely new one. The UPPAbaby Vista V2 Double, for instance it can fit two infant car seats as well as a riding board at the back which makes it perfect for three kids. It can be used in conjunction with a stroller and a rolling case for parents. This allows you to travel light, while still having everything you need for your family.
The Joovy Caboose Ultralight Graphite is a distinct style of double stroller from the other models, yet it offers the same features that you'll find in our top-rated choices. It's easy to fold and can be inserted into most doorways. The basket underneath the carriage is also taller which makes it easier to load groceries. The rear seat is protected, so your child will be warm during winter.
A tandem is narrower than a side-by-side, which makes it difficult to navigate narrow aisles in shops or on busy footpaths. It can be more maneuverable on rocky terrain compared to a standard double pushchair. Some of these pushchairs can be difficult to steer in tight turns, particularly if your heavier child is in the front seat.
A double-inline pushchair is a better choice for the majority of families. It can be used as twin buggy from birth prams when your children are young but it could also be transformed into a tandem when they grow older. Certain models, such as the iCandy Peach 3+ can accept two iSize car seat. This gives you maximum flexibility and value.
Storage
The biggest disadvantage of a off road double buggy buggy could be that it takes up more space on public transport, and is difficult to maneuver through narrow doorways or lifts. They also cost more especially side-by-side models with a second passenger on the in front.
Some models, such as the Joolz Geo or the Uppababy Vista V2, can be converted to tandem pushchairs. This is a cost-effective option if you plan to have another baby in the near future. It also extends the lifespan of your buggy. It can be difficult to convert it back to a single seat when your older child has grown out of it.
