You ll Never Guess This Tandem Double Buggy s Benefits

Buying a Tandem Double Buggy

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

Some are able to be converted into travel systems that use two carrycots or car seats for children. However, they are heavier and longer than single pushchairs, and may feel less stable as they bump up the kerbs.

Convertible

If you're looking for convertible stroller that can be converted from a single to a double or to add another seat to an existing one, there's many options to choose from. The UPPAbaby V2 is a spacious, gorgeous stroller. It is easily changed from a single to a double pushchair with car seat by adding a seating area with a rumble. It is more expensive and less maneuverable because the second seat is placed on top of the first seat. Nuna Demi Grow provides a similar choice however, it doesn't have storage under the seat when used as a double stroller.

Other alternatives include all-terrain twin buggies as well as fixed-wheel joggers that can hold two children. They tend to be more expensive, however they're designed for long trips over rough terrain and can have a higher resale value.

Independent recline of the seat

If you need a double buggy that is able to transport children of various ages then you're going to require a model with an recline that is independent for both seats. This allows your child of a higher age to relax while the baby is in the bassinet, and the reverse is true.

Take into consideration the size of your pushchair and consider how easy it is for you to get through doors and on public transportation. If your doors are narrow, you may be considering a side by side pushchair such as the Mountain Buggy Duet. It has a footprint that is similar to a single stroller however can still accommodate two seats and car seat adaptors.

Tandem buggies are usually smaller than side-byside models, and aren't as difficult to maneuver around kerbs however, they can accommodate a wider range of car seat/car seat combinations, and are a great option for twins or siblings of different age groups. They are priced higher than single-to-double buggies however they're worth it if you intend to keep it for a few years. They'll also keep some value when sold once your children are old enough to use the buggie.

This feature allows you to put your child in an ideal position for naps or to observe. This is essential when your child is in the back seat and would like to rest while the older child prefers to sit up and observe the surroundings.

Some brands feature an exclusive seat design that allows the back seat to completely recline into an almost flat position, which is ideal for newborns. The iCandy Orange, for example, has stadium-style seating that can be reclined into multiple positions. It also comes with a UPF 50+ canopy and peekaboo windows.

Larger than twin buggies

It's not necessary to have twins in order to benefit from a bigger double umbrella stroller buggy - they're ideal for siblings of different age groups and let you move around without worrying about your children touching each other. They're usually a more spacious with one seat in front of the other. The seats can be reclined fully for babies or placed in an upright position for toddlers.

A popular choice is the Mountain Buggy Duet, which features the slimmest side-by-side design available and features the same footprint as one buggy. 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 is a great travel system.

Another alternative is the iCandy Wave, which has a simple one-click to fold and is able to be used in duo or mono mode. Its clever frame can be expanded widthwise to accommodate a second chair and it can be used with two carrycots or car seats which makes it an ideal option for older siblings who want to sit in a group and enjoy the view. It's a bit longer than other models but still feels light to steer and comes with soft suspension to tackle kerbs.

There are many 3-wheeler tandems that have inline wheels that offer stability and quick steering. Check out Phil and Teds inline models or iCandy Peach and Pear buggies. These can often be folded into a single buggy if you are limited in space at home or need to transport it from your car to the bus.

Be aware that a double-wide buggy is more heavy and bulkier than a single compact buggy. Make sure you know what you want before you buy. You'll need to take it off and on trains, buses and subways often, so it should be simple to use and manage. You may also need to move it on and off the car seat when you take your children to school or nursery so you'll need to be aware it can be easily manoeuvred in small spaces.

Suitable from birth

You'll need a stroller for your entire family regardless of whether you're expecting twins or if you have a child after you've had your first. double pram pushchair buggies are typically larger, heavier and cost more than single strollers, however they can also be easier to maneuver through narrower doors or around obstacles such as curbs. Many double buggies can be used with piggyback boards (available from the manufacturer or as an accessory). This allows you to carry three children at the same time.

Tandem pushchairs put one child in front of the other, so they're generally a better option when you have two children who are close enough in age to get along well. They're not completely safe. Siblings who are sitting side-by-side could punch or kick one another and children of different heights may fight over who sits higher. A tandem high-low model could solve this issue by elevating the seat to the rear, which will prevent your child's height from being sat on the bottom and not getting any view.

The iCandy Wave is a great option for parents looking for an easy-to-use double buggy that converts to fit both a newborn in a carrycot as well as an older child in the main seat. It features a smart frame that expands widthways when you add a second seat and folds down flat to make it a compact storage. The cushioned seats are comfortable, the straps are easy to fasten, and the buckles are among the most comfortable we've seen on any of our tests. The seats can be reclined independently and the canopies are large and generous with UPF 50+ protection as well as windows that peek out.

The only drawback to the iCandy is that it's a little expensive, but a quality tandem will last a long time and retain its resale value, which means you'll likely recoup some of the cost in the long run. It doesn't have the same variety of seating options as others of our top picks however the iCandy is a great choice for families who don't wish to spend a fortune.
