Which double tandem pushchair double (recent post by Lovewiki) is Best For Your Family?

When you're preparing for twins or a new child there are plenty of products available to help make life with children on the move easier. One of them is the double tandem pushchair.

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

Stability

Whether you have twins or children of similar age, a double tandem pushchair makes traveling with two children much more enjoyable and comfortable. However, there are numerous styles and configurations available it can be difficult to know which one is the best for your family. Some are more suitable for jogging, while others can accommodate a third passenger with a buggyboard. Which ones are the most stable, but?

The CYBEX Gazelle is a fantastic option for children who are the same age. However, they can be tricky to maneuver around narrow doorways and shopping aisles. In this scenario you might be better off with a stadium model, such as the Bugaboo Donkey, or Mountain Buggy Duet. These models let your children either face you or another depending on their setup.

Tandem models that place one behind the other are more manageable than side-by-side pushchairs, but they are still not as stable as single strollers and car seats. They aren't easy to push up curbs, and they may have less storage space than a side by side pushchair.

To get a good feeling for the stability of doubles, you have to try it out using both seats because that is the way you will use it most often. Test how easy it is for you to steer and navigate the vehicle, especially in tight corners or with the front wheels that rotate. Also, you should test the brakes, since they might be difficult to use if both child seats have been attached.

If you're looking for a high-quality, affordable double stroller that can do it all look no further than Phil and Teds Sport double seat stroller. This stylish, compact pushchair can be converted from a single to tandem in a few easy steps. The carrycot and seat can be used either parent-facing or facing each other. The air-filled tires and all-wheel suspension let it tackle a variety of terrains. It comes with a handy underseat storage basket but access to this is partially blocked when the second seat is placed.

Comfort

Whether you have twins or a newborn and toddler, there is a double pushchair that will fit your family. They can generally transport two children side-by-side but some can transform into single pushchairs (although this is usually involving removing one seat). Most are wider than a single stroller, but they offer the best value and versatility.

In our recent double pushchair reviews, we asked testers to score each model based on a variety of aspects, including comfort, ease of use and how it folded. They also evaluated the ease of it to get the car seat in and out, and whether it could be used with a baby carrier.

The Stroller & Co City Tour 2 Double is an excellent example of a flexible, comfortable and light dual stroller. Our reviewers were impressed by the large UPF 50+ canopy which provides real shade and includes an opening window for peekaboos, and both seats recline into a variety of positions at the touch of a button. One seat can also be made to lie flat, meaning baby can rest comfortably in the carrycot that is attached to it.

The reversible seat lining made of bamboo that naturally antibacterial on one side, and soft Jersey on the other is another great feature. The possibility of being folded with just one hand is also an excellent feature, particularly when you're looking after two small children.

Side-by-side models are generally more expensive than tandem buggies, however they can provide ultimate flexibility since they are designed to fit into narrow aisles and doors. They aren't easy to navigate up kerbs and heavy to push, but they have an inclined front load that helps to balance the weight.

Flexibility

If you're looking to keep your twins close or have a newborn and a toddler, a double tandem pushchair can be an invaluable addition to your family. This can keep your children entertained by preventing them from arguing or waking each other up. This type of buggy can also be great when you intend to take it on public transport, as it is easier to fit into the space available.

Some models provide an extreme degree of flexibility, including the ability to switch back to single mode if your youngest is ready for a stroller without needing to purchase a new one. The UPPAbaby V2 Double is able to accommodate two infant car seats in the back and a riding board which makes it ideal for three children. It can be used in conjunction with the stroller and a roll-away case for the parents. This lets you travel light, while still having everything you need for your family.

The Joovy Caboose Ultralight Graphite is a distinct style of double buggy with car seat stroller compared to the other models, yet it comes with the same features you'll find in our top-rated choices. We love that it can be folded with a hand and fits easily through doors, and also that the undercarriage basket is higher to make it easier to drop on shopping. The back seat is protected to keep your kid warm during winter.

A tandem is narrower than a side-by-side, which makes it difficult to navigate narrow aisles in stores or busy walking routes. It is also easier to maneuver on rough terrain than a standard double pushchair. Some of these pushchairs can be difficult to steer through tight turns, especially in the case of a child who is heavier in the front seat.

An inline double pushchair, on the other hand, is a better option for most families. It can be used as a twin pram when your children are younger, but can also convert to a tandem when they're older. Some of these models, such as the iCandy Peach 3+, can accept two i-Size car seats, giving you ultimate flexibility and value for money.

Stores

The main disadvantage of double buggy is that they take up more space on public transport and it can be more difficult to steer through narrow doorways and lifts. They also cost more especially side-by-side models with a second seat in the front.

Some models can be converted from single pushchairs to tandem models - such as the Joolz Geo and the Uppababy Vista V2. This can be cost effective when you're planning to have another baby at some point and can extend the lifespan of your buggy. It's not easy to convert it back into only one seat after your older child has grown out of it.
