Buying a Tandem Double Buggy

A tandem double buggy can be a great choice if you have twins, or children who are close in age. They are narrower than side by side buggies, and are perfect for narrow spaces like doors, public transport and rocky terrain.

Many also transform into travel systems that use two carrycots or car seats. They can be heavier, longer and less stable than a single pushchair.

Convertible

There are many options to add a second seat or converting a single stroller to double. The Vista V2 from UPPAbaby is big, beautiful stroller that easily converts from a single model to double by incorporating the rumble seat (available separately). It's costly and less maneuverable than other dual strollers since the second seat is located in front of the front seat. The Nuna Demi Grow is a similar option with great seating versatility but does not have storage under the seat when used in doubles mode.

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

Independent recline of the seat

Think about the width of your stroller and consider the ease of you to maneuver through doors and public transport. If you have extremely narrow doors, it could be worth considering a side-by-side pushchair double such as the Mountain Buggy Duet which has the benefit of having a footprint that is similar to a single buggy however it can accommodate two seats and car seat adaptors.

Tandem buggies tend to be larger than side-by-side models, and therefore are more difficult to maneuver around and down kerbs.

Tandem pushchairs double place one child in the front of the other, and they're often a better choice when you have two children who are similar in age to be able to live well. But they're not completely safe: Siblings in side-by-side seats can kick or punch each other, and kids on different heights can squabble over who gets to sit higher. A tandem high-low model can solve this problem by elevating the seat to the rear, preventing your child's older one from being on the bottom and not getting the best view.
