Buying a Tandem Double Buggy

A tandem double buggy can be a fantastic option for twins or children who are very close in age. They're smaller than side-by-side buggies and are ideal for maneuvering tight spaces, such as doors, on public transport and on rough terrain.

Some are able to be converted into travel systems that can take two carrycots or child car seats. They are often heavier, longer and less stable than a single pushchair.

Convertible

There are a variety of options to add a second seat or changing a single stroller into a double. The UPPAbaby is a spacious, gorgeous stroller. It can be easily transformed from a single stroller to a dual by adding the seating area with a rumble. However, it's expensive and less maneuverable than other dual strollers due to the fact that the second seat is located behind the front seat. The Nuna Demi Grow is a similar model with a wide range of seating options, but isn't equipped with storage under the seat when used in doubles mode.

Other alternatives include all-terrain twin buggies, as well as fixed-wheel joggers that can accommodate two children. These are more expensive, however, they are designed to last longer on rough terrain and come with higher resale prices.

Reclining the seat independently

If you require a double buggy that is able to transport children of various ages then you're going to want one that has recline that is independent for both seats. This allows your older child to relax while the baby is in a bassinet, and vice versa.

Think about the width of your stroller, as this will determine the ease of you to maneuver through doors and public transport. If you have very narrow doorways then it might be worth considering a side-by-side pushchair, such as the Mountain Buggy Duet which has the advantage of having a footprint that is similar to a single Double stroller buggy, but can still take 2 seats and car seat adaptors.

Tandem buggies are usually 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 be able to accommodate a bigger range of car seat/car seat combinations, making them a good option for twins or siblings of different age. They are priced higher than single to double buggies however they're worth it if you intend to keep it for a few years. They also hold an impressive amount of value if you decide to sell it when your children are old enough to use it.

Another thing to look out for is if the backs of the seats can recline independently of each other because this allows you to place your child in the ideal position to nap or observe. This is essential when your child is in the back seat and wants to take a nap while the child in the front prefers to sit up to observe the surrounding.

Certain brands have a unique design that allows the back seat of their vehicles to recline into a position that is almost flat, ideal for babies. For example, 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 to give your kids a a choice of where to sit and also comes with an excellent UPF 50+ canopy that has peekaboo windows.

Larger than twin stroller buggies

There's no need to have twins to benefit from a wider double buggy - they're ideal for siblings of various ages and allow you to get around without having to worry about your children touching. They're usually a bit larger too with one seat placed behind the other and providing a flat recline for infants (or a more upright position for toddlers).

Mountain Buggy Duet is a popular choice. It has the slimmest design side-by-side on the market and a footprint like one stroller. It also has an adjustable handle, making it easy for parents of different heights to push and a handbrake that can be useful when you have to climb difficult terrains. It is suitable from birth and is compatible with a range of car seats and carrycots, which means it's a great travel system.

The iCandy Wave is another option. It can be folded in mono or duo mode in a single click. Its clever frame expands in width to accommodate the second chair and can be used up to two car seats or carrycots. This makes it a great choice for older siblings that wish to be seated together. It's a bit longer than other models, but it's easy to steer and has soft suspension to tackle kerbs.

There are a variety of 3-wheeler tandems that have inline wheels that provide stability and fast steering. Take a look at Phil and Teds inline models, or iCandy Peach and Pear buggies. These can often be folded into a single buggy in case you have a small space at home, or need to transport it from your car to the bus stop.

Be aware that a double buggy with car seat-wide buggy will be more heavy and bulkier than one that is compact. Make sure you know what you want before you purchase. You'll have to get it on and off subways, buses, and trains regularly so it needs to be easy to operate and manage. You might also have to move it on and off the car seat while taking your children to nursery or school so you'll need to be aware it can be easily manoeuvred in small spaces.

From birth

You'll need a pushchair for your entire family whether you're expecting twins, or if you have a child after you've had your first. double pushchairs buggies are generally larger, heavier and more expensive than single strollers, however they are also more maneuverable in narrower 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 put one child ahead of the other. They're a great option if your children are of similar ages and are able to get along. They're not completely safe. Siblings sitting side-by-side can kick or punch each other, and children of different heights could argue over who sits taller. This issue can be addressed by a tandem high-low design that elevates the seat to the back. Your older child isn't seated at the bottom of the car and won't have much of an opportunity to see.

The iCandy Wave is a good choice for parents looking for a convertible double buggy that includes a carrycot that can accommodate both the newborn and the older child. It features a clever frame that can be expanded in width when you add a second seat, and folds to flattish storage. The padded buckles, straps and seats are all of the best quality we have seen in our tests. The seats can be reclined independently, and the canopies are big and spacious with UPF 50+ protection as well as peekaboo windows.

The only drawback to the iCandy tandem is that it's a bit expensive. However, a quality tandem will last you for a long time and will have the highest resale value, so at the end of the day you'll likely recover a portion of the cost. The iCandy does not have the same seating configurations as our other top choices. However, it's an excellent choice for families who don't wish to spend a lot of money.
