If you're planning for twins or another child, there are plenty of products to make life with kids moving around easier. One of these is the double tandem pushchair [click through the next web site].

Most brands offer a double buggy as part of their product range, ranging from Phil and Teds to Baby Jogger. They are available in line or side-by-side convertible models.

Stability

If you have twins or children close in age, a double tandem pushchair makes travelling with two of them much easier and more comfortable. There are so many different designs and configurations available it can be difficult to decide which one is suitable for your family. Some are better suited for running, while others can accommodate a third passenger when you add a buggyboard. Which ones are the most stable however?

Side-by-side pushchairs (like the CYBEX Gazelle S) are ideal for transporting children who are the same age. However they can be a challenge to maneuver around narrow entrances and aisles for shopping. In this case you might be better off with an arena model like the Bugaboo Donkey, or Mountain Buggy Duet. These models allow your children to either face you or another according to their configuration.

Tandem models, which seat one behind the next can be more manageable, however they are still not as stable than single strollers or car seats for children. They aren't easy to lift up curbs and they could have less storage space than a side by side pushchair.

To gain a real feel for the stability of a double, you need to try it out with both seats in use, as this is how you will use it the most frequently. Check how easy it is to steer and navigate the vehicle, especially in tight corners or with the front wheels that rotate. It is a good idea to test the brakes too as they can be difficult to operate if both child seats are in use.

The Phil and Teds Sports Double is the perfect double stroller for people who want a quality stroller that is affordable and able to do it all. This sleek compact pushchair can be converted from a single to tandem in a couple of simple steps. The seat and carrycot can be used either parent-facing or facing one another. Its air-filled tires as well as all-wheel suspension allow it to conquer various terrains. It also comes with an underseat storage basket, however access to this is partially restricted when the second seat is placed.

Comfort

If you have twins, or a newborn and toddler, there is a double pushchair to accommodate your family. They can generally transport both children side by side but some transform into single pushchairs (although this will often involve removing one seat). They tend to be larger than a single buggy, but they do offer flexibility and value for money.

In our recent double review of pushchairs, we asked users to rate each model on a range of aspects, including comfort, ease of handling and how it folded. They also evaluated the ease of it to take the car seat into and out, and if it could be used with a baby car.

The Stroller & Co City Tour 2 Double is a great example of a comfortable, flexible and lightweight double stroller. Our reviewers were impressed by the large UPF 50+ canopy, which provides shade and has an open window that can be seen from the outside, and the seats can recline to various positions with the push of a button. One seat can also be made to lie flat, meaning a newborn can sleep comfortably in the carrycot which is attached to it.

Other great features of this pushchair are the padded handlebar with cup holder and pouch and the easy-to-use brake system and the reversible seat liner with naturally anti-bacterial bamboo on one side and soft jersey on the other. Our test subjects also appreciated the fact that you can fold it with one hand, which is a big benefit when you have two young children to watch.

They are more expensive however, they offer greater flexibility because they can fit through narrow aisles and doors. They aren't easy to move up kerbs, and heavy to push, but they do have a front-loaded load that helps to balance the weight.

Flexibility

Whether you're looking to keep your twins in close proximity or have a baby and toddler, a double tandem pushchair can be a valuable addition to your family. This will keep your children entertained by preventing them from arguing or waking each other up. This kind of buggy is also ideal if you're planning to use it on public transportation because it will be easier to fit it in the space available.

Certain models offer an extreme degree of flexibility, including the ability to switch back to single to double stroller mode if your child is ready for strollers without having to buy an entirely new one. The UPPAbaby Vista V2 Double, for example, can take two infant car seats and a riding board at the back which makes it perfect for three children. It can be used with a stroller and a rolling suitcase for the parents, allowing you to travel light but still taking everything your family needs.

The Joovy Caboose Ultralight Graphite is a different style of double stroller than the other models, yet it has the same features you'll find in our top choices. It folds easily and can fit through the majority of doors. The basket underneath the carriage is also higher and makes it easier to load groceries. The rear seat is covered, which means your child will be protected during winter.

A tandem is narrower than a side-byside, making it difficult to navigate narrow aisles in shops or busy walking routes. It can be more maneuverable on rocky terrain than a standard double single pushchair pushchair. Some of these pushchairs can be difficult to steer, particularly when your child weighs more.

A double buggy with car seat-inline pushchair is the best option for most families. It can be used as a twin pram when your children are young however, it can be transformed into a tandem when they grow older. Some models, like the iCandy Peach 3+ can accept two iSize car seats. This gives you maximum flexibility and value.

Storage

The biggest downside to a double buggy is that it could take up more space on public transport, and may be harder to steer through narrow doorways and lifts. They also cost more and are more expensive for side-by-side models, especially those with a second seat in the in the front.

Certain models, like the Joolz Geo or the Uppababy Vista V2, can be converted to tandem pushchairs. This is an affordable option if you are planning to have another baby in the near future. It also extends the life span of your buggy. It's not easy to convert it back to a single seat when your older child is out of it.
