Buying a Tandem Double Buggy

If you have twins or children very similar in age, a tandem double buggy is a great choice. They're narrower than side-by-side buggies and ideal for navigating tight spaces, such as doorways, on public transport and on rough terrain.

Some are able to be converted into travel systems that can take two carrycots or car seats for children. They are typically heavier, longer and less stable than a single pushchair.

Convertible

There are a variety of options to add a second seat or making a single stroller a double. The UPPAbaby is a large, beautiful stroller. It can easily be converted from a single to a double buggy side by side by adding a seating area with a rumble. However, it's pricey and less maneuverable than other dual strollers since the second seat goes in front of the front seat. Nuna Demi Grow is a similar model but lacks storage under the seat when used as a double stroller.

Other alternatives include all-terrain twin buggies and fixed-wheel joggers that can hold two children. They are more expensive but they are designed for long-distance trips over rough terrain, and come with more expensive resales.

Reclining the seat independently

If you require a best double strollers buggy that can transport children of various age groups, then you'll require a model with an recline that is independent for both seats. This will allow your older child to rest while the baby is in the bassinet, and reverse.

You'll also need to consider the width of the pushchair as it will impact how easy it is to navigate through doors and on public transport. If your doorways are very narrow, you may be considering a side-by-side pushchair like the Mountain Buggy Duet. It has a footprint similar to a single stroller, but can still fit two seats and car seat adaptors.

Tandem buggies are generally larger than side-by-side models, making them more difficult to maneuver around and down kerbs. However they can be able to accommodate more combinations of seats/carrycots/car seats and are an excellent choice for twins and siblings of various age. They are priced higher than single to double buggies however they're worth the cost if you plan on keeping it for many years. They also hold a good amount of value when sold once your children have outgrown it.

Another important feature to look for is whether the seat backs are able to recline independently from one another as this will let you put your child in the ideal position for naps or watching. This is important when your child is in the back seat and wishes to rest while the older child prefers to sit and observe the surroundings.

Certain brands have a distinctive design that allows the back of their vehicles to recline fully into a position that's nearly flat, which is ideal for infants. The iCandy Orange, for example has a stadium-style seating option that can be reclined in various positions. It also comes with UPF 50+ canopy and peekaboo windows.

Wider than twin stroller with car seats buggies

They are great for siblings of different ages, and you can move around without having to worry about your children touching. They're usually a bit longer too, with one seat sitting behind the other and usually offering a fully-flat recline for infants (or a more upright position for toddlers).

Mountain Buggy Duet is a popular choice. It has the slimmest design that is side-by-side, and a footprint comparable to one stroller. It features an adjustable handle that makes it easier for parents to push and a handbrake which is useful on steep hills. It is suitable to use from birth and it can be combined with a wide range of car seats and carrycots.

The iCandy Wave is another option. It folds in either mono or duo mode in a single click. The clever frame expands to accommodate the second chair and can be used with up to two car seats or carrycots. This makes it a great option for older siblings who would like to sit together. It's slightly longer than some other models, yet it's light to steer and comes with soft suspension to tackle kerbs.

There are a lot of 3-wheeler inline tandems that are available - check out Phil and Teds' inline models or iCandy's Peach and Pear buggies for instance they provide stability and swift steering. They are often folded down to size one buggy which is useful when you have trouble storing it at home or have to carry it in and out of the boot when you travel on public transportation.

Be aware that a double stroller organizer-wide buggy is heavier and more bulkier than one compact buggy. Be sure you know what you want prior to making a buy. It is likely to be used on buses, trains and subways often, therefore it must be simple to manage and use. It is possible that you will need to move the car seat on and off when taking your child to school or the nursery.

From your birth, you are an ideal candidate

You'll need a stroller for your entire family, whether you're expecting twins or you have a second hand double buggy child after having your first. Double buggies are generally heavier and bulkier as well as more expensive than single strollers. However they are much more maneuverable in tighter doors and around obstacles such as curbs. They are also compatible with piggyback ride-along boards (either from the manufacturer or as an accessory purchase) to allow you to transport three children at a time.

Tandem pushchairs put one child in the front of the other, and they're generally a better option when you have two children who are similar in age to function well together. They're not 100% secure. Siblings sitting side-by-side can punch or kick each other, and children of different heights could argue over who sits higher. A tandem high-low model could solve this problem by elevating the seat to the rear, which prevents your child's older one from being on the bottom and not getting much of a view.

The iCandy Wave is a great alternative for parents who want an easy-to-use convertible double buggy that can fit a newborn into a carrycot, and an older child in the main seat. It features a smart frame that expands in width when you add the second seat. It folds flat for compact storage. The padded seats are comfortable, the straps are simple to fasten, and the buckles some of the most impressive we've seen in any of our tests. The seats can be reclined independently, and the canopies are big and spacious with UPF 50+ protection and peekaboo windows.

The only drawback to the iCandy is that it's a bit expensive however, a good tandem will last a long time and will retain its resale value, which means you'll likely recoup some of the cost in the long run. It doesn't come with the same range of seating configurations that the other top picks, but the iCandy is a great choice for families who don't want to spend a lot.
