5 Clarifications On Tandem Double Buggy

Buying a Tandem stokke double stroller Buggy

A tandem double buggy could be a great choice when 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 rocky terrain.

Some convert into travel systems that take 2 carrycots or car seats. However, they can be heavier and longer than single pushchairs, and might feel less stable when bumping up kerbs.

Convertible

If you're looking for a convertible stroller that can be converted from a single to a double or to add a second seat to an existing one, there are several options available. The UPPAbaby Vista V2 is a spacious, gorgeous stroller that easily converts from a single model to double by adding the rumble seat (available separately). It's costly and less maneuverable than other dual strollers due to the fact that the second seat is located to the left of the front seat. The Nuna Demi Grow is a similar model with a wide range of seating options, but isn't equipped with storage under the seat when used in doubles mode.

Other options include twin buggies with all terrain double stroller-terrain wheels as well as joggers that have fixed wheels that can be used to carry two kids. These are more expensive, however, they are designed to last longer on rough terrain, and come with a higher resale price.

Independent seat recline

If you require a double buggy that is able to carry children of different ages then you're going to need a buggy that has an recline that is independent for both seats. This allows your child of a higher age to rest in the back while the baby is in the bassinet and the reverse.

You'll also have to think about the size of the stroller as this will impact how easy it is to get through doors and on public transportation. If your doorways are very narrow, you might want to consider a side-by-side pushchair such as 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 typically longer than side by side models, and therefore are more difficult to maneuver around and down kerbs. However they can be able to accommodate more combinations of car seats, carrycots and seats and are a great option for twins and siblings of various ages. These buggies are more expensive than single-to-double travel stroller buggies however they're worth it if you intend to keep it for a few years. They will also retain some value if you decide to sell it when your children are old enough to use it.

This feature will allow you to place your child in a comfortable position for naps and observation. This is crucial if your child is in the back seat and would like to nap while the more mature child prefers to sit and observe the surrounding.

Certain brands come with a unique design for their seats that allows the back seat to completely recline to an almost flat position that is perfect for babies. For example the iCandy Orange has raised stadium-style seating that can recline both the toddler seat that comes with it and the add-on RumbleSeat into various positions so your kids can have the option of where they want to sit as well as providing an excellent UPF 50+ canopy with windows that can be seen from afar.

Wider than twin buggies

They are great for siblings with different age groups, and they allow you to move around without worrying about your children touching. They're usually a bit longer with one seat in front of the other. The seats can be reclined completely for infants, or put in an upright position for toddlers.

A popular choice is the Mountain Buggy Duet, which has the slimmest side-byside design available and features an identical footprint to a single buggy. 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 for 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 duo or mono mode with just a single click. The clever frame expands in width to accommodate the second chair and can be used up to two car seats or carrycots. This makes it a great option for older siblings who want to be seated together. It's a little longer than other models but still feels easy to steer and has soft suspension that is able to handle kerbs.

There are a variety of 3-wheeler tandems with inline tires that offer stability and quick steering. Take a look at Phil and Teds inline models, or iCandy Peach and Pear buggies. Often these can be folded into the size of one buggie, which is helpful if you struggle with storage at home or need to carry it in and out of your car on public transportation.

It's important to remember that a large double seat stroller buggy will feel bulkier and heavier than a smaller single buggy So make sure it's what you need before you buy. You'll have to get it off and on subways, buses, and trains frequently, so it must be easy to operate and manage. You may also need to juggle it onto and off the car seat while taking your children to school or nursery so you'll need to ensure it can be easily manoeuvred in small spaces.

From your birth, you are a good candidate

If you're expecting twins, or you have a child following your first, you're likely need to find an appropriate pushchair for the whole family. Double buggies tend to be a bit heavier, bulkier and cost more than single and double stroller strollers. However, they can also be easier to maneuver in narrower entrances or around obstacles like curbs. Many double buggies work with piggyback boards (available from the manufacturer or as an add-on). This allows you to carry three children at once.

Tandem pushchairs place one child in the front of the other, so they're often a better choice for families with two children that are close enough in age to get along well together. But they're not completely safe: Siblings in side-by-side seats may punch or kick each other, and kids on different heights can squabble over who sits higher. This problem can be solved by a tandem high-low model that raises the seat in the rear. Your older child will not be seated on the lower part of the car, and won't get much of an eye.

The iCandy Wave is a good alternative for parents looking for a convertible double buggy with a carrycot that is able to accommodate both a newborn and an older child. It features an innovative frame that can be expanded in size when you add the second child seat. It folds flat for storage that is compact. The cushioned seats, straps and buckles are all terrain double buggy of the highest quality we have seen in our testing. Both seats can recline independently, and the canopies are large and generous with UPF 50+ protection as well as peekaboo windows.

The only drawback to the iCandy tandem is that it's a bit expensive. However, a quality tandem will last you for a long time and will have a high resale price, so at the end of the day, you'll likely recoup some of the cost. The iCandy does not have the same seating options as our other top picks. However, it's a good option for families who don't wish to spend much money.
