The 10 Scariest Things About Double Tandem Pushchair

Which Double Tandem Pushchair is Best For Your Family?

There are a variety of products that can make the life of a parent with two children or twins easier. One of these is the double tandem pushchair.

Most brands have a double buggy as part of their range, from Phil and Teds to Baby Jogger. They can be side-by-side or convertible models that are inline.

Stability

If you have twins or children who are close in age, a double tandem pushchair makes travelling with two of them much more enjoyable and comfortable. However, there are so many different styles and configurations available it can be difficult to decide which one is best for your family. Some are better for jogging than others, or can accommodate a third seat if you add on buggy boards. Which ones are most sturdy?

The CYBEX Gazelle is a fantastic option for children who are the same age. They can be difficult to maneuver through narrow entrances or shopping aisles. In this case you might be better off with a stadium 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 that seat one behind the other are easier to manage than side-by-side pushchairs, but they are still not as sturdy as single strollers or car seats. They aren't easy to lift up curbs and they might have less storage space than a side-by-side pushchair.

To get a good feel for the stability of a double to single buggy, you need to try it out using both seats since this is the way you will be using it most often. Check how easy it is to navigate and steer the vehicle, particularly in tight turns or with the front wheels that rotate. You should also check the brakes, as they can be difficult to use when the child and infant seats are attached.

The Phil & Teds Sports Double is the ideal double stroller for people who are looking for a high-quality stroller that is affordable and able to perform all. This sleek compact stroller can be converted from a single to double buggy to tandem in a few easy steps. The carrycot and seat can be used with the parent facing or facing each other. Its air-filled tires as well as all-wheel suspension allow it to conquer different terrains. It also comes with an underseat storage basket, however access to it is restricted when the second hand double buggy seat is placed.

Comfort

There's a double stroller for every family, whether you have twins or a toddler newborn. They can generally transport two children side-by-side but some can convert into single pushchairs (although this will often involve the removal of one seat). They tend to be larger than a single buggy, but the majority offer ultra flexibility and a good value for money.

In our recent double review of pushchairs, we asked testers to rate each model on a range of aspects, including comfort, ease of handling and how well it folded. They also assessed the ease of taking out and putting in the car seat, as well as whether or not it could be used with baby carriers.

The Stroller & Co City Tour 2 Double is a great example of a flexible, comfortable and light dual stroller. The reviewers who reviewed it praised its large UPF 50+ canopy, which provides real shade with the ability to peek at. Both seats can recline to different positions by pressing a button. One seat can be made to lay flat so that the baby can rest in the carrycot on top of it.

Other excellent features on this model include the padded handlebar with cup holder and pouch as well as the simple braking system, and the reversible seat liner made of bamboo that is naturally anti-bacterial on one side and soft jersey on the other. Our test subjects also appreciated the fact that it is able to fold it with one hand and that's a major benefit when you have two small children to watch.

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

Flexibility

If you're looking for a way to keep your twins together or have a baby and toddler, a double tandem pushchair can be an invaluable addition to your family. This will keep your children content by stopping them from fighting or waking each other up. This type of buggy is ideal if you're planning to use it on public transport because it is easier to fit it in the space available.

Some models are extremely flexible and allow you to change back to single mode when your child is ready to use strollers. This lets you save money on a new stroller. The UPPAbaby V2 Double can fit two infant car seats at the back as well as a ridingboard, making it perfect for three children. It can be used in conjunction with the stroller and a roll-away case for parents. This allows you to travel light while having everything your family requires.

The Joovy Caboose Ultralight Graphite double stroller is different than its counterparts, but it offers many of the same features that we have outlined in our top choices. It's easy to fold and can be inserted into most compact double stroller doorways. The basket underneath the carriage is also a bit taller, making it easier to load groceries. The rear seat is covered, so your child will be kept warm in winter.

A side-by-side pushchair is larger than a tandem, making it difficult to navigate shopping aisles or narrow footpaths. However, it can be easier to manoeuvre on rocky terrain than a standard pushchair. Some of these pushchairs can be difficult to steer, particularly when your child weighs more.

An inline double pushchair, however is a better choice for most families. It can usually be used as a tandem pram when your children are younger but it is also able to be converted to a tandem when they're older. Some models, like the iCandy Peach 3+, can accept two i-Size car seats, giving you maximum flexibility and the best value for money.

Storage

The biggest disadvantage of a double buggy may be that it takes up more space on public transport, and is harder to maneuver through narrow doorways or lifts. They are also more expensive, especially side-byside models with a second seat in the front.

Some models, like the Joolz Geo or the Uppababy Vista V2 can be converted into tandem pushchairs. This can be cost effective if you're planning on having another child at some point, and it extends the life of your buggy. It can be difficult to convert it back to only one seat after your older child is out of it.

Stadium Duo is a lightweight compact stroller that is ideal for urban adventures. It features a one-click one-hand fold, an automatic lock for storage and is compatible with two SnugEssentials infant car seats or SnugRide SnugSize infant car seats* for a hassle-free transition. The stadium-style seating allows both children to enjoy the view. It's possible to connect infant car seats to the rear or front of the stroller with just one click. You can also carry all the essentials for your day out in the large shopping basket and tray for parents. The suspension and swivel wheels offer smooth rides and better manoeuvrability. The 5-point safety belts on both seats also increase your child's safety.
