The Next Big Thing In The Tandem Double Buggy Industry

Buying a Tandem Double Buggy

If you have twins or children very similar in age, a tandem double buggie is a great option. They are narrower than side-by-side buggies and are great for narrow spaces like doors, public transport, and rough terrain.

Some can be converted into travel systems that use two carrycots or child car seats. However, they are heavier and longer than single pushchairs, and may feel less stable in bumping up the kerbs.

Convertible

If you're looking for convertible stroller that can be converted from a single to a double or to add another seat to an existing one, there are a variety of options available. The UPPAbaby is a large, beautiful stroller. It can be easily converted from a single to a dual by adding the rumble seat. It's costly and less mobile than other double strollers due to the fact that the second seat is located in front of the front seat. Nuna Demi Grow is a similar model but lacks storage underneath the seat when used as a double stroller.

Other options include twin buggies with all-terrain wheels, and joggers with fixed wheels that can accommodate two kids. They are generally more expensive, however they're designed for long-distance trips over rough terrain, and may have more resale value.

Reclining the seat independently

If you're looking for a double stroller which can accommodate children of various ages, you will need one with a recliner that is independent for both seats. This will allow your older child to relax in the back while the baby sleeps in the bassinet and vice versa.

It is also important to consider the width of the stroller as it will impact how easy it is to traverse doors and public transport. If you have very narrow doorways then it might be worthwhile to consider a side-by-side pushchair like the Mountain Buggy Duet which has the benefit of having a footprint that is similar to a single buggy but can still take 2 seats and car seat adaptors.

Tandem buggies tend to be longer than side by side models, which makes them more difficult to maneuver up and down kerbs. However, they can accommodate more combinations of seats/carrycots/car seats and are a great option for twins and siblings of different ages. They are more expensive than single buggies to double, but they're worth the cost if you plan to keep it for a number of years. They will also retain an impressive amount of value if sold when your children are old enough to use it.

This feature will allow you to place your child in the most comfortable position for naps or to observe. This is essential for children who are in the back seat and wants to nap while the more mature child prefers to sit up to observe the surroundings.

Certain brands have a distinctive design that allows the back seat of their vehicles to recline into a position that is nearly flat, which is ideal for infants. For instance the iCandy Orange has raised stadium-style seating and can recline both the toddler seat that comes with it as well as the optional RumbleSeat to multiple positions, so that your children have a a choice of where they will sit, as well as providing an excellent UPF 50+ canopy with peekaboo windows.

Larger than twin buggies

You don't need to have twins in order to benefit from a wider double buggy. They're perfect for siblings of various ages and allow you to move around without worrying about your children touching. They are usually a little bit longer with one seat in front of the other. The seats can be reclined completely for infants, or put in an 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 that is like the footprint of a single stroller. It has an adjustable handle that makes it easier for parents to push and a handbrake which is useful on steep hills. It can be used from birth and is compatible with a range of car seats and carrycots. This means it is a great travel system.

The iCandy Wave is another option. It can be folded in mono or duo mode with just a single click. The frame's clever design can be expanded widthwise to allow for a second seat and can be used with up to two car seats or carrycots so it's an excellent option for older siblings that want to sit together and share the view. It's a little larger than other models, but it still feels light and has a comfortable suspension for the kerbs.

There are many 3-wheeler tandems that have inline wheels that offer stability and swift steering. Take a look at Phil and Teds inline models or iCandy Peach and Pear buggies. Most of them can be folded down to the size of one buggy which is useful for those who struggle with storage at home or need to transport it into and out of the boot when using public transportation.

It's important to keep 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 it's what you require before purchasing. It will be used on trains, buses, and subways frequently so it should be easy to manage and use. You might need to manage the car seat on and off when taking your child to school or the nursery.

From birth

Whether you're expecting twins or have a second child after your first, you're going to need to find an appropriate pushchair for the whole family. Double buggies are typically larger, heavier and cost more than single strollers. However, they are also easier to maneuver through narrower doors or around obstacles such as curbs.  double buggy with car seat  are compatible with piggyback boards (available from the manufacturer or as an accessory). This allows you to transport three children at once.

Tandem pushchairs place one child in front of the other. They're a good choice if your children are of similar ages and are able to get along. However, they're not 100% secure Siblings in a side-by-side seat could kick or punch each other, and children who are different heights can argue over who should sit higher. This issue can be resolved by a tandem high-low design that elevates the seat to the rear. Your older child isn't seated at the lower part of the car, and won't have much of an opportunity to see.

The iCandy Wave is a good alternative for parents looking for a convertible double buggy that includes a carrycot that is able to accommodate both a newborn and an older child. It features an intelligent frame that expands in width when you add a second child seat. It can also fold flat for storage that is compact. The padded buckles, straps and seats are all of the highest quality we have encountered in any of our tests. The seats can be reclined independently, and the canopies are large and generous with UPF 50+ protection as well as windows that can be seen from a distance.

The only downside to the iCandy tandem is that it's a bit costly. However, a good tandem will last for many years and have an attractive resale value so in the end, you'll likely recoup a portion of the cost. It also doesn't offer the same variety of seating configurations as others of our top picks however, the iCandy is a good choice for families that don't want to shell out a lot of money.
