Buying a Tandem Double Buggy If you have twins or children similar in age, a tandem double buggie is a great option. They are narrower than side by side buggies and are great for tight spaces like doorways, public transport and rocky terrain. Many convert into travel systems to use two carrycots or car seats. However, they can be heavier and longer than single pushchairs and may not be as stable when bumping up kerbs. Convertible There are many options for adding a second seating or converting a single stroller to a double. The Vista V2 from UPPAbaby is a big, beautiful stroller that converts easily from a single to double by adding the rumble seating (available separately). It is more expensive and less maneuverable due to the fact that the second seat is placed behind the first seat. The Nuna Demi Grow is a similar option with great seating flexibility, however it does not have storage under the seat when used in doubles mode. Other alternatives include all-terrain twin buggies as well as fixed-wheel joggers that can accommodate two children. These are more expensive, but they are designed for long-distance trips over rough terrain, and come with more expensive resales. Reclining seat recline independently If you require a double buggy that can carry children of different age groups, then you'll want one that has recline independent for both seats. This will allow your child's older to relax in the back while the baby is in the bassinet and vice versa. You'll also have to think about the size of the pushchair, as it will impact the ease of get through doors and on public transportation. If your doorways are very narrow, you may want to consider a side-by-side pushchair such as the Mountain Buggy Duet. It has a footprint that is similar to a single stroller but can still fit two seats and car seat adaptors. Tandem buggies are generally a little longer than side-by-side models and therefore aren't easily maneuverable around kerbs however they can be able to accommodate a wider range of car seat/car seat combinations, so can be a good option for twins or siblings of different age groups. They are also more expensive than single-to double buggies, but are worth the purchase if you plan 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 after your children have grown out of it. This feature allows you to put your child in a comfortable position for naps and observation. This is especially important when you have a young child in the rear seat who may prefer to lay back and sleep while the older child would prefer to sit up and observe their surroundings. Some brands have a unique design that allows the back of their vehicles to fully recline into a position that is nearly flat, which is ideal for newborns. For instance the iCandy Orange has raised stadium-style seating and can recline the included toddler seat and the add-on RumbleSeat into multiple positions so your kids can have the option of deciding where to sit, as well as offering an excellent UPF 50+ canopy that has windows that peek out. Wider than twin buggies There's no need to have twins in order to benefit from a bigger double buggy. They're great for siblings of different ages and allow you to go about your day without worrying about your children touching. They're typically a bit longer with one seat in front of the other. The seats can be reclined fully for babies or placed in an upright position for toddlers. Mountain Buggy Duet is a popular option. It has the slimmest design that is side-by-side and a footprint similar 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 for use from birth, and it can be combined with a range of car seats and carrycots. Another alternative is the iCandy Wave, which has the convenience of a single click to fold and can be used in mono or duo mode. The frame's clever design can be expanded to accommodate the second chair and can be used up to two car seats or carrycots. This makes it a fantastic option for older siblings who would like to sit together. It's a little longer than other models, but it still feels light and has 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. Most of them can be folded down to the size of one buggy, which is helpful when you have trouble storing it at home or need to lug it in and out of the boot when using public transport. Be aware that a two-wheeled buggy is heavier and heavier than one that is compact. Make sure you know what you want before you purchase. You'll need to take it on and off subways, buses, and trains regularly so it needs to be easy to operate and manage. You might need to manage the car seat on and off when you take your child to school or the nursery. From your birth, you are a suitable candidate If you're expecting twins, or you have a child following your first, you're likely to need to find an appropriate pushchair for the entire family. Double buggies tend to be a bit heavier, bulkier and cost more than single strollers, but they are also more maneuverable in narrower doorways or around obstacles such as curbs. They 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 once. Tandem pushchairs place one child in front of the other, and they're usually a better option when you have two children who are similar in age to function well together. However, they're not 100% secure Side-by-side chairs can kick or punch each other, and kids who are different heights can argue over who sits higher. A tandem high-low model is able to solve this issue by elevating the seat towards the rear, which will prevent your child's height from sitting on the bottom and not getting much of a view. The iCandy Wave is a good choice 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 an innovative frame that increases in size when you add a second child seat. It also folds flat to make it a compact storage. The seats are cushioned and comfortable, the straps are easy to fasten, and the buckles are among the most comfortable we've seen on any of our tests. all terrain double stroller are large in size and UPF 50+ protection, and a peekaboo window. Both seats can be reclined independently. The only drawback to the iCandy is that it's on the expensive side, but a quality tandem will last for a long time and will retain its resale value. So you'll likely recoup some of the cost over the long term. It doesn't have the same range of seating configurations as the other top choices, but the iCandy is a great choice for families who don't wish to shell out a lot of money.
