Buying a Tandem Double Buggy

If you have twins or children very close in age, a tandem double buggy is a great option. They are a bit smaller than side by side buggies, and are great for narrow spaces like doors, public transport, and rocky terrain.

Some are able to be converted into travel systems that take two carrycots or child car seats. However, they can be heavier and longer than single pushchairs, and may not be as stable when as they bump up the kerbs.

Convertible

Whether you're looking for a convertible single-to-double stroller or want to add another seat to an existing one, there's several options available. The UPPAbaby Vista V2 is a big, beautiful stroller that can easily be converted from a single to a double by adding the rumble seat (available separately). It is more expensive and less maneuverable because the second seat is located in front of the first seat. The Nuna Demi Grow is a similar model with great seating versatility but isn't equipped with storage under the seat when used in doubles mode.

Other options include twin buggies with all-terrain wheels as well as joggers that have fixed wheels that can hold two kids. These tend to be more expensive, but they're made to last longer on rough terrain and can have more resale value.

Reclining the seat independently

If you're looking for a double stroller Travel system buggy that can carry children of different ages, you'll require a model with an recline that is independent for both seats. This will allow your child's older to relax in the back while the baby sleeps in the bassinet, and reverse.

You'll also have to think about the size of the stroller as this will affect the ease of get through doors and on public transport. If you have extremely narrow doors, it could be a good idea to consider a side-byside 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 tend to be longer than side by side models, making them more difficult to maneuver around and down kerbs. However, they can accommodate more combinations of car seats/car seats/seats and can make the perfect choice for twins and siblings of different ages. They can also be more expensive than single-to double buggies, but are a good purchase if you plan to keep it for a long time and will have a decent amount of resale value if you sell it on after your children have grown out of it.

Another crucial thing to look for is if the seat backs are able to recline independently of each other since this will allow you to put your child in the most optimal position to nap or observe. This is essential for children who are in the back seat and would like to rest while the older child prefers to sit up and observe the surroundings.

Some brands have a unique design that allows the back seat of their vehicles to recline fully into a position that's nearly flat, which is ideal for babies. For instance, the iCandy Orange has raised stadium-style seating and can recline both the toddler seat included as well as the optional RumbleSeat into various positions so your kids can have a choice of where they will sit, as well as providing an excellent UPF 50+ canopy that has peekaboo windows.

Wider than twin buggies

They are ideal for siblings of different ages, and you can get around without worrying about your children touching. They're usually a larger with one seat in front of the other. The seats can be reclined fully for newborns or in an upright position for toddlers.

A popular choice is the Mountain Buggy Duet, which has the slimmest side-byside design on the market and has a footprint similar to one buggy. 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 from birth and is compatible with a range of car seats and carrycots, which means it is a great travel system.

Another alternative is the iCandy Wave, which has an easy one-click fold and can be utilized in a duo or mono mode. The frame's clever design expands widthways to accommodate a second chair and it can be used with up to two carrycots or car seats which makes it an ideal option for older siblings who wish to sit together and enjoy the view. It's slightly longer than other models, but it feels light and has a comfortable suspension for kerbs.

There are a lot of 3-wheeler inline tandems available Check out Phil and Teds' inline models or iCandy's Peach and Pear buggies for instance - which provide stability and swift steering. They are often folded down to size one buggie which is useful for those who struggle with storage at home or frequently need to carry it in and out of the car on public transportation.

It's worth bearing in mind that a large double buggy will be heavier and bulkier than a compact single buggy, so make sure it's what you require before you buy. You'll need to take it off and on subways, buses, and trains frequently, so it must be simple to use and manage. You may also need to move it on 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 small spaces.

From birth, you are an ideal candidate

If you're expecting twins or have a second child after your first, you're likely to need to find a pushchair that fits the entire family. Double buggies are typically a bit heavier, bulkier and more expensive than single strollers, but they can also be easier to manoeuvre through narrower doors or around obstacles like curbs. Many lightweight double stroller buggies are compatible with piggyback boards (available from the manufacturer or as an accessory). This lets you transport three children at the same time.

Tandem pushchairs place one child in front of the other, so they're generally a better option for families with two children that are close enough in age to get along well together. They're not 100% secure. Siblings sitting side-by-side can punch or kick one another and children with different heights could argue over who is sitting higher. A tandem high-low model is able to solve this problem by elevating the seat at the rear, which prevents your child's older one from being sat on the bottom and not getting much of a view.

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 and an older child in the main seat. It features a clever frame that expands widthways when you add the second seat and folds down flat for compact storage. The cushioned seats, straps and buckles are all of the best quality we have seen in our tests. The seats can be reclined independently and the canopies are spacious and large with UPF 50+ protection as well as windows that peek out.

The only downside to the iCandy tandem is that it is a bit expensive. However, a quality tandem will last you for years and retain the highest resale value, so in the end, you'll likely recoup some of the cost. The iCandy doesn't come with the same seating configurations as our other top choices. It's nevertheless an excellent choice for families who don't want to spend much money.
