The 10 Scariest Things About Double Tandem Pushchair

Which Double Tandem Pushchair is Best For Your Family?

When you're preparing for twins or a second child, there are a variety of products to make your life with children on the move more comfortable. One of them is the double tandem pushchair.

From Phil and Teds to Baby Jogger, most compact double stroller brands offer a double stroller as part of their product range. They are available as inline or side-by-side convertible models.

Stability

If you have twins or children of similar age, a double tandem pushchair makes traveling with two children much more enjoyable and comfortable. There are numerous styles and configurations to choose from that it can be a challenge to decide which one is best for your family. Some are better for jogging than others, or fit a third seat when you add a buggy board. Which ones are the most sturdy?

The CYBEX Gazelle is a fantastic option for children who are the same age. However they can be difficult to maneuver around narrow doorways and aisles for shopping. In this situation you may be better off with an arena model like the Bugaboo Donkey, or Mountain Buggy Duet. These models allow your children to face either you or eachother depending on their configuration.

Tandem models, which place one behind the next, are more manageable but still not as stable as single strollers or child car seats. They can be difficult to get up from curbs, and they may not have as much storage capacity than a side-byside pushchair.

It is recommended to test the double with both seats in place, because that's the way you'll be using it the most. It is important to test whether it is easy to navigate and steer, particularly in tight corners or when using the swivel front wheels. You should also test the brakes, as they can be difficult to use when both child seats have been attached.

If you're looking to purchase a premium, affordable double stroller that can do it all you need, then take a look at the Phil and Teds Sport Double. This sleek, compact pushchair can be transformed from a single to a tandem in just a few steps. The seat and carrycot can be used with the parent facing or facing one another. The air-filled tires and all-wheel suspension allow it to take on different terrains. It has a handy underseat storage basket, however access to this is partially blocked when the second seat is in place.

Comfort

If you have twins, or a newborn and toddler, there is a double pushchair that will fit your family. They can be used to transport two children side-by-side, but many can be converted to one pushchair (though this typically requires taking off one seat). They are typically wider than a single to double buggy buggy however, they are generally able to provide ultra flexibility and value for money.

In our most recent double buggy that converts to single pushchair reviews, we surveyed testers to score each model on a range of aspects, including comfort, ease of handling and how well it folded. They also rated the ease of it to take the car seat in and out, and if it could be used with a baby carrier.

The Stroller & Co City Tour 2 Double stroller is a fantastic example of lightweight, comfortable and flexible double stroller. Our reviewers were impressed by the large UPF 50+ canopy, which provides real shade and includes a peekaboo window, while both seats recline into multiple positions with the push of the button. One seat can be made to lay flat so the baby can sleep on the carrycot over it.

The reversible seat lining with bamboo, which is naturally antibacterial, on one side and soft Jersey on the other is an great feature. Our test subjects also appreciated the fact that you can fold it in one hand and that's a major benefit when you have two young children to watch.

They are more expensive, but can offer more flexibility as they can fit through narrow doors and aisles. They can be difficult to maneuver up kerbs and can be heavy to push however, they come with an inclined front load that helps to distribute the weight.

Flexibility

If you're looking for a way to keep your twins close or have a baby and toddler, a double tandem pushchair can be a great addition to your family. It will assist you in avoiding the irritation of kids waking each other up or fighting out and about, thereby keeping them both content. This type of buggy may be ideal if you plan to take it on public transportation because it is more convenient to fit into the available space.

Certain models are extremely flexible that allow you to switch back to single mode as soon as your child is ready to use a stroller. This allows you to avoid buying an entirely new stroller. The UPPAbaby Vista Double, for instance, can take two infant car seats as well as a riding board at the back, making it ideal for three children. It can be used in conjunction with the stroller and a roll-away case for the parents. This allows you to travel light, while still having everything your family needs.

The Joovy Caboose Ultralight Graphite double seat stroller stroller is a different design than its counterparts, but it offers many of the same features we've outlined as our top selections. We like the fact that it can be folded with hands and easily through doors, and the basket under the carriage is taller to make it easier to drop shopping into. The rear seat is also covered, so your child will be warm in winter.

A side-by-side pram is wider than a tandem, making it more difficult to navigate walkways or narrow aisles in shops. It is more maneuverable on rocky terrain compared to a standard double pushchair. Some of these prams can be difficult to steer, especially when your child is larger.

A double-inline pushchair is a better choice for families with multiple children. It can usually be used as a twin pram when your children are younger however, it can also be converted into 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.
