Buying a Tandem Double Buggy If you have twins or children very similar in age, a tandem double buggy is a great choice. They are smaller than side by side buggies, and are ideal for narrow spaces like doors, public transport, and terrain that is rocky. Many also convert into travel systems that use two carrycots or car seats. They can be heavier, longer and less stable than a single pushchair. Convertible There are many options for adding a second seating or converting a single stroller to a double. The UPPAbaby V2 is spacious, gorgeous stroller. It can easily be transformed from a single stroller to a dual by adding the Rumble seat. It's costly and less mobile than other double strollers since the second seat is placed in front of the front seat. The Nuna Demi Grow is a comparable model with great seating versatility but isn't equipped with 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 accommodate two kids. These are more expensive, but they are made to last longer on rough terrain and have more expensive resales. Reclining the seat independently If you are looking for a double stroller that will accommodate children of various ages, you will need one with independent seat recliner for both seats. This will allow your older child to relax while the baby is sleeping in a bassinet, and reverse. Think about the width of your pushchair, as this will determine how easy it is for you to maneuver through doors and public transportation. If your doors are narrow, you might be considering a side-by-side pushchair, such as the Mountain Buggy Duet. It has a footprint similar to a single stroller however can still fit two seats and car seat adaptors. Tandem buggies generally are slightly longer than side-by-side models, and aren't as easy to manoeuvre up and down kerbs, however, they can accommodate a wider range of seat/carrycot/car seat combinations so can be a good option for twins or siblings of different ages. They can also be more expensive than single-to-double buggies but are a good investment if you intend to keep it for many years and will have a decent amount of resale value in the event that you decide to sell it off after your children have grown out of it. This feature will allow you to put your child in a comfortable position for naps and observation. This is especially important if you have a young child in the rear seat who will be inclined to lie down and take a snooze while the more mature child wants to sit up and observe their surroundings. Certain brands come with a unique seat design which allows the back seat to completely recline into an almost flat position which is perfect for infants. The iCandy Orange, for example has a stadium-style seating option that can be reclined to several positions. pushchairsandprams.uk has UPF 50+ canopy and windows that peek out. Wider than twin buggies You don't need to have twins to benefit from a wider double buggy. They're perfect for siblings of various ages and allow you to get around without having to worry about your children touching. They're usually a bit longer too with one seat placed behind the other and usually with a fully-flat recline option for newborns (or an upright position for toddlers). A popular option is the Mountain Buggy Duet, which is the tiniest side-by-side model on the market and has a footprint similar to a single buggy. It has an adjustable handle that makes it easier for parents to push and a handbrake, which is useful on steep hills. It is suitable to use from birth and it can be combined with a range of car seats and carrycots. The iCandy Wave is another option. It folds in duo or mono mode in a single click. The frame's clever design can be expanded widthwise to accommodate a second chair and it can be used with up to two carrycots or car seats so it's an excellent option for older siblings who wish to sit together and enjoy the view. It's slightly longer than some other models, but it's light to steer and has soft suspension that can handle the kerbs. There are plenty of 3-wheeler tandems with inline tires that offer stability and quick steering. Check out Phil and Teds inline models, or iCandy Peach and Pear buggies. These can often be folded into a single buggy if you have limited space at home or you need to transport it from the car to the bus stop. It's worth bearing in mind that a double-buggy with a wider width will be heavier and bulkier than a single buggy that is smaller So make sure you're getting what you need before you purchase. You'll need to take it on and off trains, buses and subways frequently, so it must be easy to use and manage. You may need to juggle the car seat when taking your child to school or to nursery. Suitable from birth If you're expecting twins or have another child after your first, you're going need to find an appropriate pushchair for the entire family. Double buggies are typically larger, heavier and cost more than single strollers, but they are also easier to maneuver through narrower doors or around obstacles like curbs. Many double buggies can be used with piggyback boards (available from the manufacturer or as an accessory). This lets you transport three children at the same time. Tandem pushchairs seat one child in front of the other, and they're generally a better option if you have two kids who are similar in age to be able to live well. However, they're not 100% secure Siblings in a side-by-side seat can kick or punch one another, and children on different heights can squabble over who gets to sit higher. A tandem high-low model is able to solve this issue by elevating the seat to the rear, which will prevent your older child from sitting on the bottom and not getting much of a view. The iCandy Wave is a good option for parents who are looking for an adjustable double buggy that can be converted into a carrycot that can accommodate both infants and an older child. It features a clever frame which expands in width when you add the second child seat. It also folds flat for compact storage. The cushioned seats, straps and buckles are all of the highest quality we have seen in our tests. The canopies are large in size, UPF 50+ protection, and peekaboo window. Both seats can be reclined independently. The only downside to the iCandy tandem is that it is a bit costly. However, a quality tandem will last you for a long time and will have a high resale price, so in the end, you'll likely recoup a portion of the cost. The iCandy doesn't come with the same seating arrangements as our other top picks. It's nevertheless an excellent choice for families who don't want to spend much cash.
