Buying a Tandem double pram stroller Buggy

A tandem double buggy - your input here - could be a fantastic option when you have twins or children who are close in age. They are a bit smaller than side by side buggies and are ideal for narrow spaces like doors, public transport, and rocky terrain.

Some transform into travel systems that use two carrycots or car seats. However, they can be heavier and longer than single pushchairs double and may not be as stable when bumping up kerbs.

Convertible

There are a variety of options for adding a second seating or changing a single stroller into double. The UPPAbaby Vista V2 is a spacious, gorgeous stroller that easily converts from a single to small double buggy by adding the rumble seat (available separately). However, it's expensive and less mobile than other double strollers because the 2nd seat goes in front of the front seat. The Nuna Demi Grow is a similar option with great seating flexibility, however it lacks under-seat storage when used in doubles mode.

Other options include twin buggies with all-terrain wheels and joggers with fixed wheels that can hold two kids. They are more expensive but they are made to last longer on rough terrain and come with a higher resale price.

Independent recline of the seat

If you want a double stroller which can accommodate children of various age groups, you'll need one with a recliner that is independent for both seats. This allows your child of a higher age to rest while the baby is sleeping in a bassinet and the reverse is true.

You'll also have to think about the size of the stroller as this will impact the ease of get through doors and on public transport. If your doorways are very narrow, you may be considering a side-by-side pushchair like the Mountain Buggy Duet. It has a footprint that is similar to a single stroller, but it can accommodate two seats and car seat adaptors.

Tandem buggies generally are a little longer than side-by-side models and so aren't as difficult to maneuver through kerbs and up and down, however, they can accommodate a bigger range of car/car/seat combinations, making them a good option for twins or siblings of different ages. These buggies are also more expensive than single-to-double buggies, but they're worth the cost if you plan on keeping it for many years. They also hold a good amount of value if sold when your children have outgrown it.

This feature allows you to put your child in the most comfortable position for naps or observation. This is essential for children who are in the back seat and would like to nap while the child in the front prefers to sit up and observe the surroundings.

Some brandsuspension for curbs.

There are also a variety of 3-wheeler inline tandems that are available such as Phil and Teds inline models or iCandy's Peach and Pear buggies, for example they provide stability and quick steering. Most of them can be folded down to size one buggy which is useful if you struggle with storage at home or frequently need to carry it in and out of the car on public transport.

Be aware that a double-wide buggy is more heavy and more bulkier than a single compact buggy. Make sure you know what you want before you buy. You'll have to get it off and on subways, trains and buses regularly so it needs to be simple to use and manage. You might need to manage the car seat on and off when taking your child to school or the nursery.

From your birth, you are a suitable candidate

You'll need a stroller for your entire family whether you're expecting twins or you have a second child after you've had your first. Double buggies are generally heavier, bulkier, and more expensive than single strollers. However they are also easier to maneuver in tighter doorways or around obstacles such as curbs. Many double buggies are compatible with piggyback boards (available from the manufacturer or as an add-on). This lets you transport three children at once.

Tandem pushchairs place one child in front of the other. They are a good option for children who are similar in age and are able to get along. However, they're not 100% secure Side-by-side chairs may punch or kick each other, and children on different heights can squabble over who should sit higher. A tandem high-low model could solve this problem by elevating the seat to the rear, preventing your child's older one from being sat on the bottom and not having the best view.

The iCandy Wave is a great option for parents looking for an easy-to-use double buggy that converts to fit both a newborn in a carrycot, and an older child in the main seat. It features an innovative frame that increases in size when you add the second child seat. It also folds flat to make it a compact storage. The cushioned seats are comfortable, the straps easy to fasten, and the buckles some of the most comfortable we've seen on any of our tests. The canopies are large in size, UPF 50+ protection, and peekaboo window. Both seats can recline independently.

The only drawback to the iCandy tandem is that it is a bit expensive. However, a good tandem will last you for years and retain an attractive resale value so in the end you'll probably recoup a portion of the cost. The iCandy doesn't come with the same seating options as our other top choices. However, it's a good option for families who don't want to spend lots of money.
