Buying a Tandem double pram pushchair Buggy

A tandem double buggy can be a fantastic option if you have twins, or children who are close in age. They are a bit smaller than side by side buggies, and are great for small spaces such as doorways, public transport and rough terrain.

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

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's many options to choose from. The UPPAbaby is a spacious, gorgeous stroller. It is easily changed from a single to a dual by adding the rumble seat. However, it's pricey and less mobile than other double strollers because the 2nd seat goes to the left of the front seat. Nuna Demi Grow provides a similar choice however, it doesn't have storage under the seat when used as a double stroller.

Other alternatives include all-terrain twin pushchair from birth buggies, as well as fixed-wheel joggers that can accommodate two children. These tend to be more expensive, however they're designed for long trips over rough terrain and can have a higher resale value.

Independent recline of the seat

If you need a double buggy to transport children of different age groups, then you'll need a buggy that has an recline independent for both seats. This allows your child of a higher age to be able to relax while your baby is in the bassinet and reverse.

Think about the size of your pushchair, as this will determine the ease of you to maneuver through doors and on public transport. If your doorways are very narrow, you might want to consider a side by side pushchair like the Mountain Buggy Duet. It has a footprint similar to a single stroller, but can still accommodate two seats and car seat adaptors.

tandem double stroller buggies tend to be larger than side-by-side models, which makes them more difficult to maneuver around and down kerbs. However they can also accommodate a wider range of combinations of car seats, carrycots and seats and are a great option for twins and siblings of various age groups. They can also be more expensive than single-to-double buggies but are a good purchase if you plan to keep it for many years and will retain a decent amount of resale value if you sell it on when your children have grown out of it.

This feature will allow you to put your child in the most comfortable position for naps or observation. This is especially important when you have a young child in the rear seat, who will prefer to lay back and take a snooze while the older child would prefer to sit up and observe their surroundings.

Certain brands have a distinctive design that allows the back seat of their vehicles to recline into a position that's almost flat, perfect for infants. For example, the iCandy Orange has raised stadium-style seating that can recline both the toddler seat included and the additional RumbleSeat into various positions to give your kids a the option of deciding where to sit and also comes with an excellent UPF 50+ canopy that has windows that can be seen from afar.

More spacious than twin buggies

They are perfect for siblings of different age groups, and they allow you to move about without having to worry about your children touching. They're typically a bit larger, with one seat sitting behind the other and providing a flat recline for infants (or a more upright position for toddlers).

Mountain Buggy Duet is a popular option. It is the tiniest design side-by-side on the market and a footprint that is like the footprint of a single stroller. It also features an adjustable handle, which makes it easy for parents of different heights to push as well as a handbrake, which is useful when tackling difficult terrains. It can be used from birth and is compatible with a range of car seats and carrycots. This means it is a great best travel double stroller system.

The iCandy Wave is another option. It can be folded in mono or duo mode with just one click. The frame's clever design expands in width to accommodate a second chair and can be used up to two car seats or carrycots. This makes it an ideal option for older siblings who want to be seated together. It's a little longer than other models, yet it's easy to steer and has soft suspension that can handle the kerbs.

There are a lot of 3-wheeler inline tandems that are available such as Phil and Teds inline models, or iCandy's Peach and Pear buggies, for instance that offer stability and swift steering. Most of them can be folded down to size a single buggy, which is helpful when you have trouble storing it at home or need to carry it in and out of your car on public transport.

Be aware that a double-wide buggy is more heavy and bulkier than one that is compact. Be sure you know what you want before you buy. It will be used on buses, trains and subways often, so it must be easy to operate and use. You might also have to juggle it onto and off the car seat when taking your children to nursery or school so you'll need to know it is able to be maneuvered in tight spaces.

From birth, you are a good candidate

You'll need a stroller for the whole family, whether you're expecting twins or you have a second child after having your first. Double buggies tend to be heavier and bulkier, as well as more expensive than single strollers. However they are also more maneuverable in narrower doorways or around obstacles such as curbs. Many double buggies work with piggyback boards (available from the manufacturer or as an accessory). This lets you transport three children at the same time.

Tandem pushchairs put one child in front of the other, so they're generally a better option for families with two children who are similar in age to be able to live well together. But they're not completely safe Side-by-side chairs can kick or punch one another, and children who are different heights can argue over who should sit higher. 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 lower part of the car, and won't get much of an opportunity to see.

The iCandy Wave is a great alternative for parents who want an easy-to-use convertible lightweight double pushchair buggy that can fit a newborn into a carrycot as well as an older child in the main seat. It has a clever frame which expands in width when you add a second child seat. It folds flat for compact storage. The cushioned straps, buckles, and seats are all of the highest quality we have encountered in our tests. The canopies are large in size and UPF 50+ protection, and the window is peekaboo. Both seats can recline independently.

The only drawback to the iCandy is that it's on the expensive side however, a good tandem will last for a long time and maintain its resale value, so you'll probably get back some of the cost over the long term. It doesn't have the same selection of seating configurations as some of our other top picks however, the iCandy is a good choice for families who don't want to shell out a lot of money.
