Buying a Tandem Double Buggy A tandem double buggy can be a great choice if you have twins, or children who are close in age. They are smaller than side by side buggies and are perfect for small spaces such as doors, public transport, and rocky terrain. Some can be converted into travel systems that can take two carrycots or car seats for children. However, they are heavier and longer than single pushchairs and may not be as stable when bumping up the kerbs. Convertible There are a variety of options for adding a second seat or changing a single stroller into a double. The UPPAbaby is a large, beautiful stroller. It is easily changed from a single to a double by adding the Rumble seat. It's costly and less maneuverable than other dual strollers due to the fact that the second seat is placed in front of the front seat. The Nuna Demi Grow is a similar option with great seating versatility but does not have storage under the seat when used in doubles mode. Other options include twin buggies with all-terrain wheels and joggers with fixed wheels that can hold two children. They tend to be more expensive but they're designed for long trips over rough terrain and could have greater resales value. Independent recline of the seat If you require a double buggy that can transport children of different ages then you're going to need a buggy that has an recline 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. Think about twin buggy from birth of your pushchair to determine how easy it is for you to maneuver through doors and public transportation. If you have extremely narrow doors, it could be worth considering a side-by-side pushchair, such as the Mountain Buggy Duet which has the benefit of having a footprint that is similar to a single buggy, however it can use two seats and car seat adaptors. Tandem buggies generally are a little longer than side-by-side models and so aren't as easy to manoeuvre around kerbs however, they can accommodate a wider variety of car/car/seat combinations, so can be a good option for twins or siblings of different age groups. They also tend to be more expensive than single-to-double buggies, but are a worthwhile purchase if you plan to keep it for a long time and will retain a decent amount of resale value if you sell it on when your children have grown out of it. This feature will allow you to place your child in an ideal position for naps and observation. This is especially important when you have a young child in the rear seat who may want to lie back and take a snooze while the more mature child wants to sit and observe their surroundings. Some brands feature a unique seat design which allows the back seat to fully recline into a nearly flat position which is perfect for newborns. The iCandy Orange, for example, has stadium-style seating that can be reclined into various positions. It also comes with UPF 50+ canopy and windows that peek out. More spacious than twin buggies They are great for siblings of different age groups, and you can get around without having to worry about your children touching. They're typically a little larger with one seat placed behind the other and offering a fully-flat recline for newborns (or a more upright position for toddlers). Mountain Buggy Duet is a popular choice. It is the tiniest design that is side-by-side and a footprint that is comparable to the footprint of a single stroller. It comes with an adjustable handle that makes it easier for parents to push, and a handbrake which is useful on steep hills. It is suitable from birth and is compatible with a variety of car seats and carrycots, meaning it makes an excellent travel system. Another alternative is the iCandy Wave, which has a simple one-click to fold and can be used in duo or mono mode. Its clever frame can be expanded widthwise to accommodate a second seat and it can be used with two carrycots or car seats making it a great option for older siblings that want to sit in a group and share the view. It's slightly bigger than the other models, but it isn't heavy and has a soft suspension for curbs. There are plenty of 3-wheeler tandems that have inline wheels that offer stability and swift steering. Take a look at Phil and Teds inline models as well as iCandy Peach and Pear buggies. These can often be folded into one buggy in case you have a small space at home, or need to transport it from the car to the bus stop. Be aware that a double wide buggy will be heavier and more bulkier than one that is compact. Be sure to know what you want before you buy. You'll need to take it off and on trains, buses and subways regularly so it needs to be easy to use and manage. You may need to juggle the car seat on and off when taking your child to school or to nursery. From birth, you're a good candidate If you're expecting twins, or you have a child following your first, you're likely need to find a pushchair that fits the entire family. Double buggies tend to be larger, heavier and cost more than single strollers, however they can also be more maneuverable in narrower entrances or around obstacles such as curbs. Many are also compatible with piggyback ride-along boards (either from the manufacturer or as an additional accessory purchase) which means you can carry three children at a time. Tandem pushchairs place one child in the front of the other, so they're usually a better option for families with two children that are close enough in age to be able to live well together. They're not 100% secure. Siblings seated side-by-side may punch or kick each other, and children of different heights may fight over who sits higher. This problem can be solved by a tandem high-low model that elevates the seat in the rear. Your child's older one will not be sitting at the bottom of the car and won't be able to get an opportunity to see. The iCandy Wave is a good alternative for parents looking for a convertible double buggy that includes a carrycot that is able to accommodate both infants and an older child. It has a clever frame which increases in size when you add a second child seat. It can also fold flat for compact storage. The cushioned straps, buckles, and seats are all of the best quality we have seen in any of our tests. The seats can be reclined independently and the canopies are spacious and large with UPF 50+ protection as well as windows that can be seen from a distance. The only drawback to the iCandy tandem is that it is a bit expensive. But a high-quality tandem will last you for a long time and will have an attractive resale value so at the end of the day, you'll likely recoup a portion of the cost. The iCandy doesn't have the same seating configurations as our other top selections. However, it's an excellent choice for families who don't wish to spend much cash.
