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 are a bit smaller than side-by-side buggies and are perfect for tight spaces like doors, public transport, and rough terrain. Many convert into travel systems to include two carrycots or car seats. However, they are heavier and longer than single pushchairs and might feel less stable when bumping up kerbs. Convertible Whether you're looking for a convertible stroller that can be converted from a single to a double or to add a second seat to an existing one, there's several options available. The UPPAbaby V2 is large, beautiful stroller. It can easily be transformed from a single stroller to a dual by adding the Rumble seat. It is more expensive and less maneuverable since the second seat is positioned on top of the first seat. Nuna Demi Grow offers a similar option however, it doesn't have storage under the seat when it is used as a double stroller. Other options include all-terrain twin buggies and fixed-wheel joggers that can accommodate two children. double pushchair Push Chairs & Prams tend to be more expensive but they're designed for long-distance trips over rough terrain and could have a higher resale value. Reclining the seat independently If you want a double stroller that will accommodate children of different age groups, you'll need one with an independent recliner for both seats. This will allow your child's older to sit back and relax while the baby sleeps in the bassinet and vice versa. Take into consideration the width of your pushchair and consider how easy it is for you to maneuver through doors and public transportation. If you have extremely narrow doors, it could 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, however it can take 2 seats and car seat adaptors. Tandem buggies are usually slightly longer than side-by-side models, and aren't as easily maneuverable around kerbs however, they can accommodate a bigger range of car seat/car seat combinations, and are a great option for twins or siblings of different ages. They are also more expensive than single-to double buggies, but are worth the investment if you plan to keep it for a long time and will retain a decent amount of resale value if you sell it on after your children have grown out of it. Another important feature to look out for is if the backs of the seats can recline independently of one another as this will let you place your child in the best position for naps or watching. This is crucial for children who are in the back seat and would like to nap while the older child prefers to sit up to observe the surroundings. Certain brands come with a unique design for their seats that allows the back seat to completely recline into a nearly flat position, which is ideal for newborns. The iCandy Orange, for example is a stadium-style seat that can be reclined in various positions. It also comes with a UPF 50+ canopy and peekaboo windows. Wider than twin buggies It's not necessary to have twins to benefit from a larger double buggy. They're great for siblings of various age groups and let you go about your day without worrying about your children touching. They're usually a 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. A popular choice is the Mountain Buggy Duet, which features the slimmest side-by-side design available and has the same footprint as a single buggy. It also has an adjustable handle, making it easier for parents of different heights to push, and an adjustable handbrake, which can be useful when you have to climb steep hills. It is suitable to use from birth and can be used with a range of car seats and carrycots. Another option is the iCandy Wave, which has the convenience of a single click to fold and is able to be used in duo or mono mode. The clever frame expands to accommodate a second chair and can be used to accommodate up to two car seats or carrycots. This makes it a fantastic choice for older siblings that wish to sit together. It's slightly bigger than the other models, but it still feels light and has soft suspension for the kerbs. There are many 3-wheeler tandems with inline tires that provide stability and fast steering. Check out Phil and Teds inline models as well as iCandy Peach and Pear buggies. Most of them can be folded into the size of a single buggy, which is helpful when you have trouble storing it at home or need to carry it in and out of the boot on public transport. Be aware that a double wide buggy will be more heavy and bulkier than a single compact buggy. Make sure you know what you want before you purchase. It is likely to be used on trains, buses, and subways frequently so it must be easy to manage and use. You might need to manage the car seat in and out while taking your child to school or nursery. From your birth, you are an ideal 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 having your first. Double buggies are typically heavier and bulkier as well as more expensive than single strollers. However they are much more maneuverable in narrower doors or around obstacles such as curbs. Many double buggies can be used with piggyback boards (available from the manufacturer or as an accessory). This allows you to transport three children simultaneously. Tandem pushchairs put one child in front of the other, so they're generally a better option if you have two kids that are close enough in age to get along well together. They're not completely safe. Siblings sitting side-by-side can punch or kick 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 child's older one isn't seated at the lowest part of the car and won't get 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 can accommodate both the newborn and the older child. It features an intelligent frame that increases in size when you add a second child seat. It can also fold flat for compact storage. The seats are cushioned and comfortable, the straps are simple to secure and the buckles are among the best we've seen on any of our tests. Both seats can recline independently and the canopy is spacious and large with UPF 50+ protection as well as peekaboo windows. The only downside of the iCandy is that it's a bit expensive, but a quality tandem will last a long time and retain its resale value, so you'll likely recoup some of the cost in the end. It doesn't come with the same variety of seating options as others of our top choices, but the iCandy is a great choice for families who don't wish to spend a fortune.
