Buying a Tandem Double Buggy A tandem double buggy could be a great option if you have twins, or children who are very close in age. They are smaller than side by side buggies and are ideal for narrow spaces like doorways, public transport and rocky terrain. Some can be converted into travel systems that can take two carrycots or child car seats. However, they can be heavier and longer than single pushchairs, and might feel less stable when bumping up kerbs. Convertible If you're looking for convertible stroller that converts from single to double or to add a second seat to an existing one, there's a variety of options available. The UPPAbaby is a large, beautiful stroller. It is easily changed from a single to a dual by adding the rumble seat. It's costly and less maneuverable than other dual strollers due to the fact that the second seat is placed behind the front seat. Nuna Demi Grow offers a similar option but lacks storage under the seat when it's used as a double stroller. Other options include all-terrain twin buggies and fixed-wheel joggers that can hold two children. They tend to be more expensive, but they're made for long trips over rough terrain and can have greater resales value. Reclining seat recline independently If you require a double buggy that is able to carry children of different ages then you're going to require a model with an recline independent for both seats. This allows your older child to relax while the baby is in a bassinet and the reverse is true. Think about the size of your pushchair, as this will determine how easy it is for you to navigate through doors and on public transport. If you have very narrow doors, it may be worthwhile to consider 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 buggy, but can still accommodate two seats and car seat adaptors. Tandem buggies are usually slightly longer than side-by-side models and so aren't as easily maneuverable around kerbs but they can accommodate a wider range of car/car/seat combinations, and are a great option for twins or siblings of various ages. These buggies are also more expensive than single-to-double buggies, but they're worth it if you intend to keep it for a few years. They will also retain a good amount of value if you decide to sell it when your children are old enough to use it. Another important feature to look out for is if the seat backs can recline independently of one another as this will let you put your child in the most optimal position to nap or observe. This is essential for children who are in the back seat and wishes to nap while the more mature child prefers to sit and observe the surrounding. Certain brands have a distinctive design that allows the back of their vehicles to recline into a position that's almost flat, perfect for babies. The iCandy Orange, for example has a stadium-style seating option that can be reclined into various positions. It also offers UPF 50+ sun protection and windows that peek out. Wider than twin buggies They are great for siblings with different age groups, and you can move around without having to worry about your children touching. They're typically a larger, with one seat behind the other. The seats can be reclined completely for babies or placed in an upright position for toddlers. A popular choice is the Mountain Buggy Duet, which is the tiniest side-by-side model available and features a footprint similar to a single buggy. It has an adjustable handle that makes it easier for parents to push and a handbrake that is helpful on steep hills. It is suitable from birth and is compatible with a range of car seats and carrycots. This means it's a great travel system. Another option is the iCandy Wave, which has a simple one-click to fold and can be utilized in a duo or mono mode. Its clever frame can be expanded to accommodate an additional chair and can be used to accommodate up to two car seats or carrycots. This makes it an ideal option for older siblings who would like to sit together. It's a little longer than other models, but it still feels light and has soft suspension for curbs. There are a lot of 3-wheeler tandems inline available Check out Phil and Teds inline models, or iCandy's Peach and Pear buggies for instance – which offer stability and swift steering. They are often folded into one buggy if you have limited space at home, or need to transport it from your car to the bus stop. It's important to keep in mind that a wide double buggy will feel bulkier and heavier than a smaller single buggy, so make sure it's what you require before purchasing. You'll need to take it off and on subways, buses, and trains regularly so it needs to be easy to use and manage. You may need to juggle the car seat on and off when you take your child to school or nursery. From birth, you're a good candidate There will be a need for a pushchair for the whole family, whether you're expecting twins, or if you have a child after you've had your first. double pram pushchair tend to be larger, heavier and cost more than single strollers. However, they can also be easier to maneuver through narrower doors or around obstacles like curbs. They are also compatible with piggyback ride-along boards (either from the manufacturer or through a separate accessory purchase) which means you can carry three children at a time. Tandem pushchairs seat one child in the front of the other, so they're generally a better option for families with two children who are close enough in age to get along well. But they're not completely safe Siblings in a side-by-side seat could kick or punch each other, and children with different heights may argue over who gets to sit higher. A tandem high-low model could solve this problem by elevating the seat at the rear, which will prevent your child's older one from sitting 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 a smart frame that expands in width when you add the second seat. It folds to flattish storage. The seats are cushioned and comfortable, the straps are easy to fasten and the buckles some of the best we've seen on any of our tests. The canopy is large in size with UPF 50+ protection, as well as a peekaboo window. Both seats can recline independently. The only downside of the iCandy is that it's a bit on the expensive side, but a quality tandem will last for years and will retain its resale value. So you'll probably recoup some of the cost over the long term. The iCandy does not have the same seating configurations as our other top picks. However, it's an ideal choice for families who don't wish to spend much money.
