You ll Never Guess This Tandem Double Buggy s Tricks

Buying a tandem double stroller Double Buggy

A tandem double buggy can be a great option if you have twins, or children who are very 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 can be converted into travel systems that can take two carrycots or child car seats. They can be heavier, longer and less stable than a single pushchair.

Convertible

There are many options for adding a second seating or changing a single stroller into double. The Vista V2 from UPPAbaby is a large, gorgeous stroller that easily converts from a single to double by adding the rumble seat (available separately). It is more expensive and less maneuverable since the second seat is located in front of the first seat. The Nuna Demi Grow is a similar model with great seating versatility but isn't equipped with storage under the seat when used in doubles mode.

Other options include all-terrain twin buggies, as well as fixed-wheel joggers which can be used to accommodate two children. These are more expensive, but they are designed to last longer on rough terrain and come with higher resale prices.

Reclining the seat independently

If you're looking for a double buggy to transport children of various age groups, then you'll require a model with an recline that is independent for both seats. This allows your child of a higher age to relax in the back while the baby is in the bassinet, and vice versa.

Consider the width of your stroller and consider the ease of you to navigate through doors and public transportation. If your doorways are very narrow, you might be considering a side by side pushchair like the Mountain Buggy Duet. It has a footprint that is similar to a single stroller but can still accommodate two seats and car seat adaptors.

Tandem buggies generally are a little longer than side-by-side models and so aren't as easily maneuverable through kerbs and up and down, however they can be able to accommodate a wider range of car/car/seat combinations, and are a great option for twins or siblings of different age groups. They can also be more expensive than single-to double buggies, but are a good purchase if you plan to keep it for many years and will retain a decent amount of resale value should you sell it on after your children have grown out of it.

Another thing to look for is if the seat backs can recline independently of one another because this allows you to place your child in the ideal position for napping or observation. This is important when your child is in the back seat and would like to take a nap while the older child prefers to sit up and observe the surroundings.

A few brands have a unique design for their seats that allows the back seat to completely recline into an almost flat position which is perfect for newborns. For example, the iCandy Orange has raised stadium-style seating that can recline both the included toddler seat as well as the optional RumbleSeat to multiple positions, so your kids can have the option of deciding where to sit, as well as offering an excellent UPF 50+ canopy with peekaboo windows.

Larger than twin buggies

They are great for siblings with different age groups, and they allow you to get around without having to worry about your children touching. They're usually a bit larger with one seat placed behind the other and providing a flat recline for babies (or an upright position for toddlers).

Mountain Buggy Duet is a popular choice. It is the tiniest design side-by-side on the market, and a footprint similar to a single stroller. It also features an adjustable handle, making it easy for parents of different heights to push and a handbrake, which is helpful when climbing difficult hills. It can be used from birth and is compatible with a range of car seats and carrycots, meaning it is a great travel system.

Another alternative is the iCandy Wave, which has a simple one-click to fold and can be utilized in a duo or mono mode. Its clever frame expands in width to accommodate a second chair and can be used to accommodate up to two car seats or carrycots. This makes it an ideal option for older siblings who wish to be seated together. It's a bit longer than other models but still feels light to steer and comes with soft suspension that can handle kerbs.

There are a lot of 3-wheeler tandems inline available Check out Phil and Teds' inline models or iCandy's Peach and Pear buggies, for example - which offer stability and swift steering. They are often folded into a single buggy if you have limited space at home, or need to transport it from the car to the bus stop.

Be aware that a double buggy with carrycot-wide buggy is more heavy and bulkier than a single compact buggy. Make sure you know what you want before you purchase. It is likely to be used on trains, buses and subways often, so it should be easy to use and manage. It is possible that you will need to move the car seat when taking your child to school or nursery.

The best twin buggy time to start is when you are born.

You'll need a stroller for your entire family, whether you're expecting twins or if you have a child after you've had your first. Double buggies tend to be heavier, bulkier, and more expensive than single strollers. However, they are more maneuverable in narrower doors, or around obstacles like curbs. Many are also compatible with piggyback ride-along boards (either from the manufacturer or as a separate accessory purchase) which means you can carry three children at once.

Tandem pushchairs place one child in front of the other. They're a great option if your children are similar in age and are able to get along. They're not 100% secure. Siblings sitting side-by-side can punch or kick each other and children of different heights may fight over who sits higher. A tandem high-low model can solve this issue by elevating the seat towards the rear, preventing your older child from being on the bottom and not getting the best view.

The iCandy Wave is a good option for parents who are looking for a convertible double buggy that includes a carrycot that can fit both infants and an older child. It features a clever frame that can be expanded in width when you add the second seat, and folds to flattish storage. The seats are cushioned and comfortable, the straps are easy to secure and the buckles are among the most impressive we've seen in any of our tests. The canopy is large in size and UPF 50+ protection, as well as a the window is peekaboo. Both seats can recline independently.

The only downside to the iCandy tandem is that it's a bit costly. But a high-quality tandem will last for a long time and will have the highest resale value, so in the end you'll probably recoup a portion of the cost. It doesn't come with the same selection of seating configurations that the other top picks, but the iCandy is a great choice for families who don't wish to spend a fortune.
