Buying a Tandem Double Buggy

A tandem Double Stroller With Bassinet buggy could be a great option for twins or children who are very close in age. They are smaller than side by side buggies, and are ideal for tight spaces like doorways, public transport and rocky terrain.

Some are able to be converted into travel systems that take two carrycots or car seats for children. However, they can be heavier and longer than single pushchairs, and may not be as stable when as they bump up kerbs.

Convertible

There are a variety of options for adding a second seat or converting a single stroller to a double. The UPPAbaby V2 is spacious, gorgeous stroller. It can be easily changed from a single to a double by adding the rumble seat. It's costly and less maneuverable than other dual strollers since the second seat is located to the left of the front seat. The Nuna Demi Grow is a similar model with great seating flexibility, however it lacks under-seat storage when used in doubles mode.

Other options include twin buggies with all-terrain wheels and joggers with fixed wheels that can accommodate two children. They are generally more expensive, however they're designed for long trips over rough terrain, and may have more resale value.

Reclining seat recline independently

If you are looking for a double stroller which can accommodate children of different age groups, you'll need one with a recliner that is independent for both seats. This allows your older child to relax while the baby is in a bassinet and the reverse is true.

Take into consideration the width of your stroller to determine how easy it is for you to navigate through doors and public transportation. If you have narrow doors, it could be worth considering a side-by-side pushchair, such as the Mountain Buggy Duet which has the advantage of having a footprint that is similar to a single buggy however it can accommodate two seats and car seat adaptors.

Tandem buggies are generally larger than side-by-side models, making them more difficult to maneuver up and down kerbs. However, they can accommodate more combinations of car seats/car seats/seats and can make a great option for twins and siblings of different age. They also tend to be more expensive than single-to double buggies, but are a worthwhile purchase if you plan to keep it for years and will have a decent amount of resale value should you decide to sell it when your children have grown out of it.

This feature allows you to put your child in a comfortable position for naps or to observe. This is essential for children who are in the back seat and wishes to take a nap while the older child prefers to sit up to observe the surrounding.

Some brands have a unique design that allows the back seat of their vehicles to recline into a position that is nearly flat, which is ideal for babies. The iCandy Orange, for example is a stadium-style seat that can be reclined to multiple positions. It also comes with UPF 50+ canopy and peekaboo windows.

More spacious than twin buggies

There's no need to have twins to benefit from a larger double buggy. They're perfect for siblings of different age groups and let you get around without having to worry about your children touching. They're usually a bit larger too, with one seat sitting behind the other, and typically providing a flat recline for infants (or a more upright position for toddlers).

Mountain Buggy Duet is a popular choice. It is the tiniest design side-by-side on the market, and a footprint that is comparable to a single stroller. It features an adjustable handle that makes it easier for parents to push and a handbrake, which can be useful on hills that are steep. 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 mono or duo mode with just a single click. The 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 option for older siblings who would like to be seated together. It's a little larger than other models, but it feels light and has soft suspension for 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 example they provide stability and quick steering. They are often folded into a single buggy in case you have a small space at home, or need to transport it from the car to the bus.

It's important to keep in mind that a wide double buggy will be heavier and bulkier than a compact single buggy So make sure it's what you require before you purchase. It is likely to be used on buses, trains, and subways frequently therefore it must be simple to operate and use. You might need to manage the car seat while taking your child to school or the nursery.

From your birth, you are a suitable candidate

There will be a need for a pushchair double for your entire family, whether you're expecting twins or if you have a child after having your first. Double buggies are generally larger, heavier and cost more than single strollers, but they are also easier to maneuver in narrower doorways or around obstacles like curbs. Many double pram 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 seat one child in the front of the other, and they're usually a better option if you have two kids who are similar in age to get along well. However, they're not 100% secure Siblings in a side-by-side seat can kick or punch each other, and kids who are different heights can argue over who sits higher. A tandem high-low model can solve this issue by elevating the seat towards the rear, which will prevent your child's older one from being on the bottom and not getting much of a view.

The iCandy Wave is a good choice for parents looking for an adjustable thule double stroller buggy that can be converted into a carrycot that can accommodate both infants and an older child. It features a clever frame that expands widthways when you add the second seat. It folds flat to make it a compact storage. The seats are cushioned and comfortable, the straps are easy to fasten and the buckles some of the most impressive we've seen in any of our tests. The canopies have a generous size, UPF 50+ protection, and a the window is peekaboo. Both seats are reclined independently.

The only downside of the iCandy is that it's a little on the expensive side but a high-quality tandem will last for a long time and retain its resale value, which means you'll likely recoup some of the cost in the end. It doesn't come with the same variety of seating configurations as others of our top picks, but the iCandy is a good choice for families who don't want to spend a lot.
