You ll Never Guess This Tandem Double Buggy s Benefits

Buying a Tandem Double Buggy

A tandem double buggy could be a great option for twins or children who are close in age. They're a bit smaller than side-byside buggies, and ideal for maneuvering narrow spaces like entrances, on public transportation and on rocky terrain.

Some are able to be converted into travel systems that use two carrycots or child car seats. However, they are heavier and longer than single pushchairs, and may not be as stable when bumping up kerbs.

Convertible

There are a variety of options for adding a second seating or converting a single stroller to double buggy sale. The Vista V2 from UPPAbaby is big, beautiful stroller that converts easily from a single stroller to a double pushchair sale by incorporating the rumble seat (available separately). It's costly and less mobile than other double strollers due to the fact that the second seat is placed to the left of the front seat. Nuna Demi Grow offers a similar option however, it doesn't have storage under the seat when it is used as a double stroller.

Other alternatives include all-terrain twin buggies as well as fixed-wheel joggers that can accommodate two children. They are more expensive, but they are made for long-distance trips over rough terrain and have more expensive resales.

Independent seat recline

If you want a double stroller which can accommodate children of different age groups, you'll need one with a recliner that is independent for both seats. This will allow your child's older to rest in the back while the baby is in the bassinet, and the reverse.

Take into consideration the width of your pushchair, as this will determine the ease of you to maneuver through doors and on public transport. If your doors are narrow, you might want to consider a side by side pushchair, such as the Mountain Buggy Duet. It has a footprint that is similar to a single double stroller stroller however can still fit two seats and car seat adaptors.

Tandem buggies are typically longer than side by side models, making them more difficult to maneuver around and down kerbs. However they can also accommodate a wider range of combinations of seats/carrycots/car seats and can make an excellent choice for twins and siblings of different age groups. They are priced higher than single double stroller buggies to double, but they're worth it if you intend on keeping it for many years. They will also retain an impressive amount of value when sold once your children have outgrown the buggie.

Another important feature to look out for is if the backs of the seats can recline independently of each other since this will allow you to place your child in the most optimal position for naps or watching. This is crucial when your child is in the back seat and wishes to rest while the child in the front prefers to sit up and observe the surroundings.

A few brands have a unique design for their seats that allows the back seat to fully recline to an almost flat position, which is ideal for infants. The iCandy Orange, for example, has stadium-style seating that can be reclined in several positions. It also offers a UPF 50+ canopy and peekaboo windows.

Wider than twin buggies

It's not necessary to have twins in order to benefit from a larger double buggy. They're great for siblings of various age groups and let you move around without worrying about your children touching each other. They're typically a bit larger too, with one seat sitting behind the other and usually with a fully-flat recline option for newborns (or an upright position for toddlers).

A popular choice is the Mountain Buggy Duet, which is the tiniest side-by-side model available and has an identical footprint to a single buggy. It also comes with an adjustable handle, which makes it easier for parents of different heights to push and a handbrake, which can be useful when you have to climb difficult hills. It can be used from birth and is compatible with a variety of car seats and carrycots, which means 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 can be expanded to accommodate a second chair and can be used with two car seats or carrycots making it a great choice for older siblings who want to sit in a group and enjoy the view. It's a bit longer than other models, but it still feels light and has a comfortable suspension for the 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 instance that provide stability and quick steering. They are often folded into one buggy if you have limited space at home or you need to transport it from the car to the bus stop.

Be aware that a double pushchair sale-wide buggy is more heavy and heavier than one compact buggy. Be sure to know what you want before you purchase. You'll have to get it on and off trains, buses and subways frequently, so it must be easy to operate and manage. You may also have to juggle it on and off the car seat while taking your children to school or nursery so you'll need to ensure it's easy to maneuver in small spaces.

From birth, you're a good candidate

Whether you're expecting twins or have another child after your first, you're likely to need to find a pushchair that fits the entire family. Double buggies tend to be heavier and bulkier, as well as more expensive than single strollers. However they are much easier to maneuver in tighter doors and around obstacles such as curbs. Many are also compatible with piggyback ride-along boards (either from the manufacturer or through an accessory purchase) so you can transport three children at once.

Tandem pushchairs put one child ahead of the other. They are a good option for children who are of similar ages and get along well. But they're not completely safe: Siblings in side-by-side seats can kick or punch one another, and children who are different heights can argue over who gets to sit higher. A tandem high-low model could solve this issue by elevating the seat towards the rear, preventing your child's height from being on the bottom and not having the best view.

The iCandy Wave is a great choice 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 features a clever frame that can be expanded in width when you add the second seat, and folds flat to make it a compact storage. The padded 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 canopy is large in size, UPF 50+ protection, as well as a peekaboo window. Both seats can be reclined independently.

The only drawback of the iCandy is that it's expensive however, a good tandem will last for years and will retain its resale value, which means you'll probably recoup some of the cost over the long term. It also doesn't offer the same range of seating configurations as others of our top picks, but the iCandy is a good option for families who don't want to shell out a lot of money.
