Buying a Tandem Double Buggy A tandem double buggy can be a great choice for twins or children who are very close in age. They are smaller than side by side buggies and are ideal for narrow spaces like doors, public transport and rough terrain. Some can be converted to travel systems that take two carrycots or child car seats. They are typically heavier, longer and less stable than a single pushchair. Convertible There are a variety of options for adding a second seating or converting a single stroller to double. The UPPAbaby V2 is spacious, gorgeous stroller. It can easily be converted from a single to a double by adding a seating area with a rumble. It's costly and less maneuverable than other dual strollers because the 2nd seat is placed to the left of the front seat. Nuna Demi Grow offers a similar option but lacks storage under the seat when used as a double stroller . Other alternatives include twin buggies with all-terrain wheels as well as joggers that have fixed wheels that can be used to carry two children. They are more expensive but they are designed for long trips on rough terrain and have a higher resale price. Reclining the seat independently If you require a double buggy to carry children of different age groups, then you'll require a model with an recline that is independent for both seats. This will allow your older child to rest in the back while the baby is in the bassinet and the reverse. Think about the size of your pushchair and consider how easy it is for you to get through doors and on public transport. If your doorways are very narrow, you might think about 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 usually slightly longer than side-by-side models and therefore aren't easily maneuverable through kerbs and up and down, but they can accommodate a bigger range of seat/carrycot/car seat combinations so can be a good option for twins or siblings of various ages. They are priced higher than single to double buggies however they're worth the cost if you plan to keep it for a number of years. They also hold a good amount of value if sold when your children are old enough to use it. This feature allows you to put your child in an ideal position for naps or to observe. This is especially important if you have a young child in the rear seat who will prefer to lay back and take a snooze while the more mature child wants to sit up and look around their surroundings. Some brands have a unique design that allows the back seat of their vehicles to fully recline into a position that's almost flat, perfect for newborns. The iCandy Orange, for example is a stadium-style seat that can be reclined in multiple positions. It also has UPF 50+ sun protection and peekaboo windows. More spacious than twin buggies It's not necessary to have twins to benefit from a wider double buggy. They're perfect for siblings of various age groups and let you get around without worrying about your children touching each other. They are usually a little bit longer, with one seat behind the other. The seats can be reclined completely for babies or placed in an upright position for toddlers. A popular option is the Mountain Buggy Duet, which features the slimmest side-by-side design available and has the same footprint as one buggy. It features an adjustable handle that makes it easier for parents to push and a handbrake that is helpful on steep hills. It is suitable from birth and is compatible with a variety of car seats and carrycots, which means it makes an excellent travel system. The iCandy Wave is another option. It folds in mono or duo mode with just one click. 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 an ideal option for older siblings who would like to sit together. It's slightly longer than other models, but it feels light and has soft suspension for curbs. There are a variety of 3-wheeler tandems that have inline wheels that provide stability and fast steering. Check out Phil and Teds inline models, or iCandy Peach and Pear buggies. They are often folded down to size a single buggy, which is helpful when you have trouble storing it at home or have to carry it in and out of your car on public transportation. It's important to remember that a large double buggy will be heavier and bulkier than a single buggy that is smaller Make sure that it's what you need before you buy. It will be utilized on buses, trains and subways frequently, therefore it must be simple to manage and use. You might need to manage the car seat on and off while taking your child to school or the nursery. From birth, you are a good candidate If you're expecting twins or have another child after your first, you're likely to need to find a stroller that can accommodate the whole family. Double buggies are typically slightly heavier, bulkier and more expensive than single strollers, however they can also be easier to maneuver 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 allows you to transport three children simultaneously. Tandem pushchairs place one child in front of the other. They're a great option if your children are of similar ages and get along well. They're not 100% secure. Siblings sitting side-by-side can kick or punch each other and children of different heights could argue over who is sitting higher. A tandem high-low model can solve this issue by elevating the seat at the rear, which will prevent your child's older one from sitting on the bottom and not having much of a view. The iCandy Wave is a great option for parents looking for an easy-to-use double buggy that converts to accommodate a newborn in a carrycot, and an older child in the main seat. It has a clever frame that can be expanded in width when you add a second seat, and folds flat for compact storage. The padded seats, straps and buckles are all of the best quality we have encountered in any of our tests. The canopy is large in size, UPF 50+ protection, and the window is peekaboo. Both seats are reclined independently. The only drawback to the iCandy is that it's a little on the expensive side however, a good tandem will last for a long time and will retain its resale value. So you'll probably recoup some of the cost over the long term. It doesn't come with the same selection of seating configurations that others of our top choices however, the iCandy is a great choice for families who don't wish to spend a lot.
