Buying a Tandem Double Buggy

A tandem double buggy can be a great choice if you have twins, or children who are very close in age. They're a bit smaller than side-byside buggies and are ideal for maneuvering tight spaces, such as doorways, on public transport and on rough terrain.

Some transform into travel systems that use two carrycots or car seats. However, they can be heavier and longer than single double stroller pushchairs, and might feel less stable when bumping up the kerbs.

Convertible

There are many options for adding a second seating or making a single stroller double. The Vista V2 from UPPAbaby is a spacious, gorgeous stroller that can easily be converted from a single stroller to double stroller with adjustable seats by incorporating the rumble seat (available separately). However, it's pricey and less mobile than other double strollers because the 2nd seat is placed to the left of the front seat. The Nuna Demi Grow is a similar model with great seating flexibility, however it does not have storage under the seat when used in doubles mode.

Other options include lightweight twin buggy buggies with all-terrain wheels, and joggers with fixed wheels that can hold two kids. They tend to be more expensive but they're designed for long trips over rough terrain, and may have more resale value.

Independent seat recline

If you're looking for a double buggy that is able to transport children of various ages then you're going to require a model with an recline that is independent for both seats. This allows your child of a higher age to sit back and relax while the baby is in the bassinet, and the reverse.

Consider the size of your pushchair, as this will determine how easy it is for you to navigate through doors and on public transportation. If you have extremely narrow doors, it may be worth considering a side-by-side pushchair, such as the Mountain Buggy Duet which has the advantage of having a footprint similar to a single buggy however it can use two seats and car seat adaptors.

Tandem buggies are generally a little longer than side-by-side models and so aren't as easy to manoeuvre through kerbs and up and down, however they can be able to accommodate a wider variety of seat/carrycot/car seat combinations making them a good option for twins or siblings of different ages. They are also more expensive than single-to-double buggies, but are a good investment if you plan to keep it for a long time and will retain a decent amount of resale value in the event that you decide to sell it after your children have grown out of it.

Another crucial thing to look for is whether the seat backs can recline independently of each other because this allows you to put your child in the most optimal position for naps or watching. This is essential when your child is in the back seat and wants to nap while the child in the front prefers to sit up and observe the surrounding.

Certain brands have a distinctive design that allows the back seat of their vehicles to recline fully to a position that is nearly flat, which is ideal for newborns. For instance the iCandy Orange has raised stadium-style seating and can recline both the toddler seat that comes with it as well as the optional RumbleSeat to multiple positions, to give your kids a a choice of where to sit as well as providing an excellent UPF 50+ canopy that has peekaboo windows.

More spacious than twin buggies

You don't need to have twins in order to benefit from a wider double buggy. They're great for siblings of various age groups. They allow you to move around without having to worry about your children touching. They're usually a more spacious with one seat positioned 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 features an identical footprint to a single buggy. It also comes with an adjustable handle, which makes it easy for parents of different heights to push and a handbrake that is useful when tackling difficult hills. It can be used from birth and is compatible with a variety of car seats and carrycots, meaning it's a great travel system.

Another option is the iCandy Wave, which has a simple one-click to fold and is able to be used in duo or mono mode. The frame's clever design can be expanded widthwise to allow for a second seat and can be used with up to 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 kerbs.

There are plenty of 3-wheeler tandems with inline tires that offer stability and quick steering. Take a look at Phil and Teds inline models as well as iCandy Peach and Pear buggies. Most of them can be folded down to the size of one buggie, which is helpful when you have trouble storing it at home or have to lug it in and out of the boot on public transport.

Be aware that a double single pushchair wide buggy is more heavy and bulkier than a single compact buggy. Be sure you know what you want prior to making a buy. It will be used on buses, trains and subways frequently, so it must be easy to operate and use. You might need to manage the car seat when taking your child to school or to nursery.

The best time to start is when you are born.

You'll need a pushchair for your entire family, whether you're expecting twins, or you have a second child after having your first. lightweight double pushchair buggies are typically heavier, bulkier, and more expensive than single strollers. However they are much more maneuverable in narrower doorways, or around obstacles like 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 once.

Tandem pushchairs put one child in the front of the other, so they're usually a better option if you have two kids who are close enough in age to function well. But they're not foolproof: Siblings in side-by-side seats could kick or punch one another, and children on different heights can squabble over who gets to sit higher. This issue can be resolved by a tandem high-low model that elevates the seat to the rear. Your child's older will not be seated on the bottom of the car and won't have much of an opportunity to see.

The iCandy Wave is a great option for parents looking for an easy-to-use double buggy that converts to fit a newborn into a carrycot as well as an older child in the main seat. It has a clever frame that expands in width when you add the second seat. It folds flat for compact storage. The padded seats are comfortable, the straps are easy to fasten, and the buckles some of the best 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 recline independently.

The only downside of the iCandy is that it's a little on the expensive side but a high-quality tandem double stroller will last for years and retain its resale value. So you'll likely recoup some of the cost in the end. It doesn't come with the same variety of seating configurations as some of our other top picks however the iCandy is a good option for families that don't want to spend a lot.
