Buying a Tandem Double Buggy If you have twins or children similar in age a tandem double buggy is a great option They are a bit smaller than side by side buggies and are ideal for small spaces such as doors public transport and rough terrain Many also convert into travel systems that take 2 carrycots or car seats They are typically heavier longer and less stable than a single pushchair compact double stroller If youre looking for a convertible singletodouble stroller or want to add another seat to an existing one theres several options available The UPPAbaby is a spacious gorgeous stroller It is easily transformed from a single stroller to a dual by adding an seating area with a rumble It is more expensive and less maneuverable since the second seat is positioned in front of the first seat The Nuna Demi Grow is a similar option with great seating versatility but isnt equipped with storage under the seat when used in doubles mode Other options include allterrain twin buggies and fixedwheel joggers that can accommodate two children These tend to be more expensive but theyre designed for longdistance trips over rough terrain and may have more resale value Independent seat recline If you require a double buggy that can transport children of various ages youll need a buggy that has an recline independent for both seats This allows your child of a higher age to relax while the baby is in a bassinet and the reverse is true Youll also have to consider the width of the stroller as this will impact the ease of navigate through doors and on public transport If you have narrow doors it may be worthwhile to consider a sidebyside pushchair like the Mountain Buggy Duet which has the benefit of having a footprint similar to a single buggy but can still use two seats and car seat adaptors Tandem buggies are generally larger than sidebyside models which makes them more difficult to maneuver up and down kerbs However they can also accommodate a wider range of combinations of seatscarrycotscar seats and can make the perfect choice for twins and siblings of various age groups These buggies are more expensive than single to double buggies but theyre worth it if you intend to keep it for a number of years They will also retain some value if you decide to sell it when your children have outgrown the buggie Another crucial thing to look for is if the backs of the seats can recline independently of each other because this allows you to put your child in the ideal position for napping or observation This is essential when your child is in the back seat and would like to take a nap while the older child prefers to sit up to observe the surrounding A few brands have an exclusive seat design that allows the back seat to fully recline into a nearly flat position which is ideal for newborns For instance the iCandy Orange has raised stadiumstyle seating and can recline the included toddler seat and the addon RumbleSeat into multiple positions so that your children have a a choice of where to sit and also comes with an excellent UPF 50 canopy with windows that can be seen from afar Wider than twin buggies You dont need to have twins to benefit from a larger double buggy Theyre perfect for siblings of different age groups and let you get around without worrying about your children touching each other They are usually a little larger with one seat positioned behind the other The seats can be reclined fully for newborns or in an upright position for toddlers Mountain Buggy Duet is a popular option It has the slimmest design sidebyside on the market and a footprint that is similar to a single stroller It also has an adjustable handle which makes it easier for parents of various heights to push and a handbrake which can be useful when you have to climb difficult terrains It is suitable to use from birth and can be used with a wide range of car seats and carrycots Another alternative is the iCandy Wave which has an easy oneclick fold and can be used in duo or mono mode Its clever frame expands widthways to accommodate a second chair and it can be used with up to two car seats or carrycots making it a great choice for older siblings who wish to sit together and share the view Its slightly larger than other models but it still feels light and has a comfortable suspension for kerbs There are many 3wheeler 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 They are often folded down to size one buggy which is useful for those who struggle with storage at home or have to carry it in and out of the boot when you travel on public transport Be aware that a twowheeled buggy is heavier and bulkier than one compact buggy Make sure you know what you want prior to making a purchase Youll be taking it on and off subways trains and buses often so it should be easy to operate and manage It is possible that you will need to move the car seat on and off when you take your child to school or the nursery From birth If youre expecting twins or you have a child following your first youre going to need to find an appropriate pushchair for the whole family Double buggies tend to be heavier and bulkier as well as more expensive than single strollers However they are much more maneuverable in tighter doorways or around obstacles like curbs Many double buggies can be used with piggyback boards available from the manufacturer or as an accessory This allows you to transport three children at the same time Tandem pushchairs put one child in the front of the other so theyre generally a better option if you have two kids that are close enough in age to be able to live well together However theyre not 100 secure Siblings in sidebyside seats may punch or kick one another and children with different heights may argue over who sits higher A tandem highlow model is able to solve this problem by elevating the seat at the rear preventing your childs height from sitting on the bottom and not having much of a view The iCandy Wave is a great choice for parents looking for an easytouse double buggy that converts to fit a newborn into a carrycot and an older child in the main seat It features a smart frame that expands widthways when you add the second seat It folds to flattish storage The seats are cushioned and comfortable the straps are easy to secure and the buckles some of the most comfortable weve seen on any of our tests The seats can be reclined independently and the canopies are large and generous with UPF 50 protection and windows that peek out The only downside of the iCandy is that its on the expensive side but a quality tandem will last for years and retain its resale value So youll likely recoup some of the cost over the long term The iCandy doesnt come with the same seating arrangements as our other top selections Its nevertheless an ideal choice for families who dont wish to spend lots of cash
