Buying a Tandem Double Buggy

A tandem double buggy can be a great option for twins or children who are very close in age. They're a bit smaller than side-byside buggies, and ideal for maneuvering narrow spaces like doorways, on public transport and rocky terrain.

Some can be converted to travel systems that can take two carrycots or car seats for children. They can be heavier, longer and less stable than a single pushchair.

Convertible

Whether you're looking for a convertible single and double stroller-to-double buggy side by side stroller or want to add an additional seat to an existing one, there's a variety of options available. The UPPAbaby Vista V2 is a spacious, gorgeous stroller that easily converts from a single to a Double Stroller For Newborn Twins by adding the rumble seat (available separately). It is more expensive and less maneuverable because the second seat is positioned in front of the first seat. The Nuna Demi Grow is a similar option with great seating versatility but does not have storage under the seat when used in doubles mode.

Other alternatives include twin buggies with all-terrain wheels, and joggers with fixed wheels that can hold two children. They tend to be more expensive, however they're designed for long trips over rough terrain and could have more resale value.

Reclining the seat independently

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

You'll also have to think about the size of the stroller as it will impact the ease of traverse doors and public transportation. If your doors are 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 it can accommodate two seats and car seat adaptors.

tandem double stroller buggies are typically longer than side by side models, which makes them more difficult to maneuver up and down kerbs. However, they can accommodate more combinations of car seats, carrycots and seats and are the perfect choice for twins and siblings of different ages. They also tend to be more expensive than single-to double buggies, but are a good 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 place your child in the most comfortable position for naps or to observe. This is particularly important if you have a younger child in the rear seat, who will prefer to lay back and take a snooze while the older child would prefer to sit and observe their surroundings.

Certain brands have a distinctive design that allows the back seat of their vehicles to recline into a position that's almost flat, perfect for infants. For example the iCandy Orange has raised stadium-style seating and can recline the included toddler seat and the additional RumbleSeat to multiple positions, so your kids can have the option of where they want they will sit, and also comes with an excellent UPF 50+ canopy with windows that peek out.

Larger than twin buggies

They are ideal for siblings with different age groups, and they allow you to move about without worrying about your children touching. They're usually a bit larger too with one seat positioned behind the other, and typically with a fully-flat recline option for babies (or a more upright position for toddlers).

A popular choice is the Mountain Buggy Duet, which is the tiniest side-by-side model available and has a footprint similar to one buggy. It features an adjustable handle that makes it easier for parents to push, and a handbrake, which is helpful on steep hills. It is suitable from birth and is compatible with a variety of car seats and carrycots. This means it makes an excellent travel system.

Another option is the iCandy Wave, which has an easy one-click fold and is able to be utilized in a duo or mono mode. The frame's clever design expands in width to accommodate the second chair and can be used to accommodate up to two car seats or carrycots. This makes it a great choice for older siblings that want to be seated together. It's a little longer than other models, but it's light to steer and comes with soft suspension that can handle kerbs.

There are a lot of 3-wheeler tandems inline available - check out Phil and Teds inline models, or iCandy's Peach and Pear buggies, for instance that offer stability and swift steering. These can often be folded into one buggy if you are limited in space at home or you need to carry it from the car to the bus.

Be aware that a two-wheeled buggy will be more heavy and bulkier than a single compact buggy. Be sure to know what you want before you purchase. It will be utilized on buses, trains and subways frequently, therefore it must be simple to manage and use. You may also have to juggle it onto and off the car seat while taking your children to school or nursery so you'll need to know it can be easily manoeuvred in tight spaces.

From birth, you are a good candidate

If you're expecting twins, or you have a child following your first, you're going to require an appropriate pushchair for the whole family. Double buggies tend to be larger, heavier and cost more than single strollers. However, they are also more maneuverable in narrower entrances or around obstacles such as 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 the same time.

Tandem pushchairs seat one child in front of the other, and they're usually a better option for families with two children who are close enough in age to function well together. They're not 100% secure. Siblings sitting side-by-side can punch or kick each other and children of different heights may fight over who sits taller. A tandem high-low model can solve this problem by elevating the seat towards the rear, preventing your child's older one from sitting on the bottom and not having the best view.

The iCandy Wave is a good option for parents who are looking for a convertible double buggy newborn buggy with a carrycot that can accommodate both a newborn and an older child. It features an intelligent frame that can be expanded in size when you add a second child seat. It folds flat for storage that is compact. 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. The canopies have a generous size with UPF 50+ protection, and a the window is peekaboo. Both seats can be reclined independently.

The only drawback to the iCandy tandem is that it is a bit costly. However, a quality tandem will last you for many years and have an attractive resale value so at the end of the day you'll likely recover a portion of the cost. It doesn't have the same variety of seating configurations as others of our top picks however, the iCandy is a good option for families that don't want to spend a lot.
