Who Is Tandem Double Buggy And Why You Should Consider Tandem Double Buggy

Buying a Tandem double stroller with bassinet Buggy

If you have twins or children very close in age, a tandem double buggie is a great option. They're smaller than side-by-side buggies and are ideal for maneuvering narrow spaces like doors, on public transport and rocky terrain.

Some can be converted to 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 many options for adding a second seat or making a single stroller double. The UPPAbaby Vista V2 is a big, beautiful stroller that easily converts from a single to double jogging stroller by adding the rumble seat (available separately). It is more expensive and less maneuverable because the second seat is placed in front of the first seat. The Nuna Demi Grow is a comparable model with great seating versatility but isn't equipped with storage under the seat when used in doubles mode.

Other options include twin buggies that have all-terrain wheels, and joggers with fixed wheels that can accommodate two kids. These tend to be more expensive, however they're designed for long trips over rough terrain, and may have more resale value.

Reclining the seat independently

If you are looking for a double travel stroller stroller that will accommodate children of different age groups, you'll require one with an independent recliner for both seats. This will allow your older child to be able to relax while your baby is sleeping in a bassinet and vice versa.

It is also important to think about the size of the stroller as this will impact how easy it is to navigate through doors and on public transportation. If you have narrow doors, it could be worthwhile to consider a side-by-side pushchair like the Mountain Buggy Duet which has the advantage of having a footprint that is similar to a single buggy however, it is able to take 2 seats and car seat adaptors.

Tandem buggies tend to be 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 car seats, carrycots and seats and can make an excellent choice for twins and siblings of different age. These buggies are also more expensive than single buggies to double however they're worth it if you plan to keep it for a few years. They also hold an impressive amount of value when sold once your children have outgrown the buggie.

Another important feature to look for is if the seat backs are able to recline independently of one another as this will let you place your child in the ideal position for naps or watching. This is particularly important if you have a young child in the rear seat who will want to lie back and relax while the older child wants to sit and observe their surroundings.

Some brands feature an exclusive seat design that allows the back seat to completely recline into a nearly flat position that is perfect for infants. The iCandy Orange, for example has a stadium-style seating option that can be reclined in several positions. It also offers a UPF 50+ canopy and peekaboo windows.

Larger than twin buggies

You don't need to have twins in order to benefit from a bigger double buggy. They're great for siblings of different age groups and let you go about your day without worrying about your children touching each other. They're usually a bit larger with one seat positioned behind the other and with a fully-flat recline option for babies (or a more upright position for toddlers).

Mountain Buggy Duet is a popular option. It is the tiniest design side-by-side on the market and a footprint comparable to the footprint of a single stroller. It also features an adjustable handle, which makes it easier for parents of various heights to push, and a handbrake that can be useful when you have to climb difficult hills. It is suitable to use from birth and can be used with a wide range of car seats and carrycots.

Another alternative is the iCandy Wave, which has an easy one-click fold and is able to be utilized in a duo or mono mode. The clever frame expands in width to accommodate the second chair and can be used to accommodate up to two car seats or carrycots. This makes it a fantastic choice for older siblings that want to be seated together. It's a bit longer than other models but still feels easy to steer and has soft suspension that can handle kerbs.

There are many 3-wheeler tandems with inline tires that offer stability and swift steering. Take a look at Phil and Teds inline models, or iCandy Peach and Pear buggies. These can often be folded into a single buggy if you have limited space at home or you need to transport it from your car to the bus.

It's important to keep in mind that a double push chair-buggy with a wider width will be heavier and bulkier than a single buggy that is smaller So make sure it's what you need before purchasing. It is likely to be utilized on buses, trains and subways often, therefore it must be simple to use and manage. You may also need to move it on and off the car seat when taking your children to nursery or school so you'll need to know it can be easily manoeuvred within small spaces.

From birth

If you're expecting twins or you have a child following your first, you're going need to find a pushchair that fits the entire family. Double buggies are generally larger, heavier and more expensive than single strollers, however they can also be easier to manoeuvre in narrower doorways or around obstacles such as curbs. Many thule double stroller buggies can be used with piggyback boards (available from the manufacturer or as an add-on). This allows you to transport three children at the same time.

Tandem pushchairs put one child ahead of the other. They're a great option if your children are of similar ages and get along well. They're not completely safe. Siblings sitting side-by-side can kick or punch 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 towards the rear, preventing your child's height from sitting on the bottom and not having the best view.

The iCandy Wave is a good option for parents who are looking for an adjustable double buggy that can be converted into a carrycot that is able to accommodate both the newborn and the older child. It features a smart frame that expands widthways when you add a second seat. It folds flat for compact storage. The cushioned seats, straps and buckles are all of the best quality we have seen in any of our tests. Both seats can recline independently, and the canopies are large and generous with UPF 50+ protection and peekaboo windows.

The only drawback to the iCandy is that it's on the expensive side however, a good tandem will last a long time and retain its resale value, so you'll probably get back some of the cost over the long term. The iCandy doesn't come with the same seating configurations as our other top picks. It's nevertheless an excellent choice for families who don't want to spend lots of cash.
