The 10 Scariest Things About Double Tandem Pushchair

Which Double Tandem Pushchair is Best For Your Family?

There are many items that can make the life of parents with twins or two children simpler. One of them is the double tandem pushchair.

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

Stability

If you have twins or children close in age, a double tandem pushchair makes traveling with two children much easier and more comfortable. There are numerous styles and configurations to choose from that it can be difficult to pick the best one for your family. Some are better for running than others, or fit a third seat when you add on a buggy board. Which ones are the most stable, though?

The CYBEX Gazelle is a fantastic option for children who are the same age. They aren't easy to navigate through narrow doors or shopping aisles. 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 according to their configuration.

Tandem models that place one behind the other are easier to manage than side-by-side pushchairs, but they're not as stable as single strollers or car seats. They can be a challenge to push up curbs, and they might have less storage space than a side by side pushchair.

It is recommended to test the double with both seats in place, since that's how you'll be using it most. Check the ease with which it is to navigate and steer the vehicle, particularly in tight turns or with the front wheels that rotate. It is recommended to test the brakes too, as they can be difficult to operate if both child seats are in use.

If you're looking to purchase a premium, affordable double stroller that does everything, take a look at the Phil & Teds Sport Double. This stylish compact stroller can be converted from a single to tandem in just a few steps.

It has a handy underseat storage basket but access to it is restricted when the second seat is placed.

Comfort

There is a double stroller suitable for any family, regardless of whether you have twins, a toddler or a newborn. They can be used to transport two children together, however many can be converted to one pushchair (though this typically requires the removal of one seat). They tend to be larger than a single buggy however, they are generally able to provide ultra flexibility and a good value for price.

In our latest double buggy pushchair reviews, we asked users to rate each model on a variety of factors including ride comfort, ease of handling and how well it folded. They also evaluated how easy it was to take the car seat in and out and whether it could be used with a baby carrier.

The Stroller & Co City Tour 2 Double is a great example of a flexible, comfortable and light dual stroller. Our reviewers were impressed by its spacious UPF 50+ canopy, which offers real shade and the option of peekaboo. Both seats can be reclined to different positions by pressing a button. One seat can be set to lay flat so that a newborn can rest in the carrycot on top of it.

Other excellent features on this pushchair are the padded handlebar with cup holder and pouch as well as the simple braking system, and the reversible seat liner with naturally anti-bacterial bamboo on one side and soft jersey on the other. Our testers also loved the fact that it is able to fold it in one hand and that's a major plus when you have two small children to keep an eye on.

Side-by-side models tend to be more expensive than tandem buggies, but they can provide ultimate flexibility because they are designed to fit in narrow aisles and doors.

Flexibility

Whether you're looking to keep your twins in close proximity or have a newborn and a toddler, a double tandem pushchair can be a valuable addition to your family. It can 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 take it on public transport because it is easier to fit it in the space available.

Certain models are extremely flexible and allow you to change back to single mode when your child is ready to use a stroller. This lets you avoid buying an entirely new stroller.

It can be used with the stroller and a roll-away case for the parents. This lets you travel light while having everything your family needs.

It's easy to fold and can fit through many doors. The basket that is under the carriage is also taller which makes it easier to load groceries. Its rear seat is also protected to keep your kid warm in winter.

A tandem is smaller than a side-by-side, making it difficult to navigate narrow aisles in shops or on busy footpaths. However, it is easier to manoeuvre on rocky all terrain double stroller than a standard dual pushchair. Some of these prams can be difficult to steer, especially when your child weighs more.

An inline double pushchair on the other hand is a better choice for most families. It can be used as twin pushchair prams when your children are young, but it can also be transformed into a tandem when they reach a certain age. Some models, like the iCandy Peach 3+ can accept two iSize car seat. This allows you to have the most flexibility and value.
