Buying a Tandem Double Buggy

If you have twins or children very close in age, a tandem double buggy is a great option. They're a bit smaller than side-byside buggies and ideal for navigating tight spaces, such as doors, on public transport and rocky terrain.

Many convert into travel systems to include two carrycots or car seats. However, they are heavier and longer than single pushchairs, pushchairsandprams and may feel less stable in bumping up kerbs.

Convertible

If you're looking for a convertible single-to-double stroller or want to add another seat to an existing one, there's many options to choose from. The UPPAbaby V2 is large, beautiful stroller. It can be easily converted from a single to a dual by adding the rumble seat. It is more expensive and less maneuverable because the second seat is located in front of the first seat. Nuna Demi Grow offers a similar option but lacks storage under the seat when it is used as a double stroller.

Other options include twin buggies with all-terrain wheels and joggers with fixed wheels that can accommodate two children. These are more expensive, but they are designed for long trips on rough terrain, and come with a higher resale price.

Independent seat recline

If you are looking for a double stroller that can accommodate children of various ages, you will need one with an independent recliner for both seats. This will allow your older child to relax while the baby is in the bassinet and the reverse is true.

Think about the width of your stroller, as this will determine the ease of you to maneuver through doors and public transport. If your doorways are very narrow, you might be considering a side by side pushchair such as the Mountain Buggy Duet. It has a footprint that is similar to a single stroller however it can accommodate two seats and car seat adaptors.

Tandem buggies are generally slightly longer than side-by-side models, and aren't as easily maneuverable up and down kerbs, but they can accommodate a bigger range of car/car/seat combinations, making them a good option for twins or siblings of different age. They also tend to be more expensive than single-to-double buggies but are worth the investment if you intend to keep it for a long time and will have a decent amount of resale value in the event that you decide to sell it off when your children have grown out of it.

Another crucial thing to look out for is if the seat backs can recline independently of each other since this will allow you to put your child in the ideal position to nap or observe. This is especially important when you have a younger child in the rear seat, who will want to lie back and relax while the older child would prefer to sit and observe their surroundings.

Certain brands come with a unique seat design which allows the back seat to fully recline into a nearly flat position which is perfect for infants. The iCandy Orange, for example has a stadium-style seating option that can be reclined in multiple positions. It also comes with UPF 50+ sun protection and peekaboo windows.

Wider than twin buggies

You don't need to have twins in order to benefit from a wider double buggy. They're perfect for siblings of different age groups and let you move around without worrying about your children touching. They're usually a bit longer too, with one seat sitting behind the other and usually with a fully-flat recline option for babies (or a more upright position for toddlers).

Mountain Buggy Duet is a popular option. It has the slimmest design that is side-by-side and a footprint like the footprint of a single stroller. It also has an adjustable handle, making it easier for parents of various heights to push, and a handbrake, which is helpful when climbing 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 can be folded in either mono or Maxi-Cosi Lila Duo Kit: Double Stroller - Nomad Grey mode with just one click. Its clever frame expands to accommodate a second chair and can be used with up to two car seats or carrycots. This makes it an ideal choice for older siblings that want to sit together. It's a bit larger than other models, but it isn't heavy and has a soft suspension for kerbs.

There are many 3-wheeler tandems with inline tires that provide stability and fast steering. Take a look at Phil and Teds inline models, or iCandy Peach and Pear buggies. These can often be folded into one buggy in case you have a small double stroller space at home or you need to carry it from the car to the bus.

Be aware that a two-wheeled buggy is more heavy and bulkier than one that is compact. Make sure you know what you want prior to making a purchase. You'll have to get it on and off subways, trains and buses often, so it should be simple to use and manage. You might also have 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

Whether you're expecting twins or you have a child following your first, you're going to require a stroller that can accommodate the whole family. Double buggies are typically larger, heavier and cost more than single strollers. However, they can also be more maneuverable in narrower doorways or around obstacles such as curbs. Many double buggies work with piggyback boards (available from the manufacturer or as an accessory). This lets you transport three children at the same time.

Tandem pushchairs seat one child in front of the other, so they're usually a better option when you have two children who are similar in age to get along well. But they're not completely safe Side-by-side chairs may punch or kick one another, and children who are different heights can argue over who should sit higher. This issue can be addressed by a tandem high-low model that elevates the seat to the rear. Your older child isn't seated at the lower part of the car, and won't get much of an opportunity to see.

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 can fit both a newborn and an older child. It has a clever frame that expands widthways when you add the second seat and folds down flat to make it a compact storage. The padded seats are comfortable, the straps are easy to fasten, and the buckles some of the most comfortable we've seen on any of our tests. The canopy is large in size with UPF 50+ protection, and windows that peek out. Both seats can be reclined independently.

The only drawback to the iCandy tandem is that it is quite expensive. However, a quality tandem will last you for years and retain the highest resale value, so at the end of the day, you'll likely recoup a portion of the cost. It doesn't come with the same range of seating configurations as the other top choices however the iCandy is a good option for families who don't want to spend a lot.
