You ll Never Guess This Tandem Double Buggy s Tricks

Buying a Tandem Double Buggy

A tandem double buggy could be a great choice when you have twins or children who are very close in age. They are a bit smaller than side by side buggies and are ideal for narrow spaces like doors, public transport and rough terrain.

Some convert into travel systems that include two carrycots or car seats. They are often heavier, longer and less stable than a single pushchair.

Convertible

If you're looking for convertible single-to-double stroller or want to add another seat to an existing one, there's a variety of options available. The Vista V2 from UPPAbaby is large, gorgeous stroller that can easily be converted from a single stroller to a double by adding the rumble seat (available separately). However, it's pricey and less mobile than other double strollers because the 2nd seat goes behind the front seat. The Nuna Demi Grow is a comparable model with great seating versatility but isn't equipped with storage under the seat when used in doubles mode.

Other options include lightweight twin buggy buggies that have all-terrain wheels as well as joggers that have fixed wheels that can accommodate two kids. They tend to be more expensive but they're designed for long trips over rough terrain and could have a higher resale value.

Independent seat recline

If you require a double buggy that can transport children of various ages, you'll require a model with an recline that is independent for both seats. This will allow your older child to sit back and relax while the baby sleeps in the bassinet, and vice versa.

Consider the width of your stroller and consider the ease of you to get through doors and on public transport. If you have extremely narrow doors, it may be worthwhile to consider a side-by-side pushchair, such as the Mountain Buggy Duet which has the benefit of having a footprint that is similar to a single buggy, however, it is able to take 2 seats and car seat adaptors.

Tandem buggies generally are smaller than side-byside models, and aren't as easy to manoeuvre up and down kerbs, however they can be able to accommodate a wider variety of car/car/seat combinations, and are a great option for twins or siblings of various ages. They are more expensive than single buggies to double but they're well worth the cost if you plan to keep it for a number of years. They'll also keep a good amount of value when sold once your kids have outgrown it.

Another important feature to look out for is if the seat backs can recline independently from one another because this allows you to place your child in the ideal position to nap or observe. This is especially important when you have a child younger than in the rear seat, who will want to lie back and sleep while the older child wants to sit up and observe their surroundings.

A few brands have a unique seat design which allows the back seat to fully recline to an almost flat position, which is ideal for newborns. The iCandy Orange, for example is a stadium-style seat that can be reclined to multiple positions. It also has UPF 50+ canopy and windows that peek out.

Wider than twin buggies

It's not necessary to have twins to benefit from a larger double running buggy buggy. They're great for siblings of various age groups. They allow you to go about your day without having to worry about your children touching each other. They're typically a bit longer, with one seat behind the other. The seats can be reclined fully for infants, or put in an upright position for toddlers.

Mountain Buggy Duet is a popular choice. It is the slimmest design of the two-in-ones on the market and a footprint like the footprint of a single stroller. It comes with an adjustable handle that makes it easier for parents to push and a handbrake, which is useful on steep hills. It can be used from birth and is compatible with a variety of car seats and carrycots. This means it makes an excellent travel system.

The iCandy Wave is another option. It folds in duo or mono mode with just one click. Its clever frame can be expanded to accommodate a second chair and can be used with up to two carrycots or car seats which makes it an ideal option for older siblings who want to sit in a group and share the view. It's slightly longer than some other models, but it's light to steer and comes with soft suspension that can handle kerbs.

There are a variety of 3-wheeler tandems with inline wheels that offer stability and quick steering. Take a look at Phil and Teds inline models, or iCandy Peach and Pear buggies. They are often folded into one buggy if you are limited in space at home or need to transport it from your car to the bus.

It's important to keep in mind that a wide double buggy will feel bulkier and heavier than a compact single buggy So make sure it's what you need before purchasing. It will be used on buses, trains, and subways frequently so it must be easy to operate and use. You may need to juggle the car seat on and off when you take your child to school or to nursery.

From birth, you are an ideal candidate

If you're expecting twins, or have another child after your first, you're likely need to find an appropriate pushchair for the whole family. Double buggies tend to be slightly heavier, bulkier and cost more than single strollers, but they are also easier to manoeuvre through narrower doors or around obstacles such as curbs. Many double buggies are compatible with piggyback boards (available from the manufacturer or as an add-on). This allows you to carry three children simultaneously.

Tandem pushchairs put one child ahead of the other. They're a good choice if your children are similar in age and get along well. They're not 100% secure. Siblings seated side-by-side may punch or kick each other and children of different heights may fight over who is sitting higher. This issue can be resolved by a tandem high-low model that elevates the seat at the rear. Your older child will not be seated on the lowest part of the car and won't have much of an eye.

The iCandy Wave is a great option for parents looking for an easy-to-use convertible double buggy that can accommodate a newborn in a carrycot, and an older child in the main seat. It has an innovative frame that can be expanded in size when you add the second child seat. It can also fold flat for storage that is compact. The padded seats are comfortable, the straps are simple to fasten and the buckles some of the best twin buggy we've seen on any of our tests. The canopies are large in size with UPF 50+ protection, and a the window is peekaboo. Both seats can be reclined independently.

The only drawback to the iCandy is that it's a little on the expensive side however, a good tandem will last a long time and will retain its resale value, which means you'll probably 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 however, the iCandy is a great choice for families that don't want to spend a lot.
