10 Locations Where You Can Find Tandem Double Buggy

Buying a Tandem Double Buggy

A tandem double buggy could be a fantastic option if you have twins, or children who are close in age. They're narrower than side-by-side 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 can take two carrycots or child car seats. However, they can be heavier and longer than single pushchairs and may not be as stable when bumping up the kerbs.

Convertible

There are many options for adding a second seat or changing a single stroller into cheap double stroller. The UPPAbaby is a spacious, gorgeous stroller. It can be easily transformed from a single stroller to a double by adding an rumble seat. It's costly and less mobile than other double strollers because the 2nd seat is placed to the left of the front seat. Nuna Demi Grow is a similar model however, it doesn't have storage underneath the seat when it's used as a double seat stroller stroller.

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 trips over rough terrain, and may have greater resales value.

Reclining seat recline independently

If you want a double stroller that can accommodate children of various age groups, you'll need one with independent seat recliner for both seats. This allows your child of a higher age to rest while the baby is in a bassinet, and the reverse is true.

Consider the width of your pushchair to determine how easy it is for you to navigate through doors and on public transportation. If you have very narrow doors, it may be a good idea to consider a side-byside pushchair, such as the Mountain Buggy Duet which has the advantage of having a footprint comparable to a single buggy, however it can accommodate two seats and car seat adaptors.

Tandem buggies are generally longer than side by side models, which makes them more difficult to maneuver up and down kerbs. However they can be able to accommodate more combinations of seats/carrycots/car seats and are a great option for twins and siblings of different age. They also tend to be more expensive than single-to double infant strollers buggies, but are a good investment if you intend to keep it for years and will have a decent amount of resale value in the event that you decide to sell it when your children are out of it.

This feature will allow you to put your child in a comfortable position for naps or to observe. This is essential when your child is in the back seat and wants to nap while the child in the front prefers to sit up and observe the surrounding.

Certain brands have a distinctive design that allows the back of their vehicles to recline fully into a position that is almost flat, perfect for babies. The iCandy Orange, for example is a stadium-style seat that can be reclined in multiple positions. It also offers UPF 50+ sun protection and peekaboo windows.

Wider than twin pushchair buggies

They are perfect for siblings with different ages, and you can move about without having to worry about your children touching. They're typically a bit larger too with one seat placed behind the other, and typically offering a fully-flat recline for babies (or a more upright position for toddlers).

Mountain Buggy Duet is a popular choice. It has the slimmest design side-by-side on the market and a footprint comparable to a single stroller. It also has an adjustable handle, making it easier for parents of different heights to push and a handbrake that is helpful when climbing difficult hills. It can be used from birth and is compatible with a variety of car seats and carrycots. This means it's a great travel system.

The iCandy Wave is another option. It can be folded in duo or mono mode with just one click. Its innovative frame expands widthways to accommodate a second seat and it can be used with two car seats or carrycots so it's an excellent choice for older siblings who want to sit together and enjoy the view. It's a bit longer than other models, yet it's light to steer and comes with soft suspension that is able to handle 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. They can be folded into one buggy if you have limited space at home, or need to transport it from your car to the bus stop.

Be aware that a two-wheeled buggy is more heavy and bulkier than one that is compact. Be sure you know what you want before you purchase. You'll have to get it on and off trains, buses and subways often, so it should be simple to use and manage. You might need to manage the car seat on and off while taking your child to school or to nursery.

From birth

If you're expecting twins or have a second child after your first, you're likely to require a pushchair that fits the entire family. Nipper Double Buggy buggies are generally heavier and bulkier, as well as more expensive than single strollers. However, they are more maneuverable in tighter doorways and around obstacles such as curbs. Many are also compatible with piggyback ride-along boards (either from the manufacturer or through a separate accessory purchase) which means you can carry three children at a time.

Tandem pushchairs place one child in the front of the other, so they're generally a better option if you have two kids that are close enough in age to get along well. They're not 100% secure. Siblings sitting side-by-side can punch or kick each other and children of different heights could argue over who sits higher. This problem can be solved by a tandem high-low model that raises the seat in the back. Your child's older isn't seated at the lower part of the car, and won't be able to get an eye.

The iCandy Wave is a great option 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 expands in width when you add the second seat and folds down flat for compact double stroller storage. The padded seats are comfortable, the straps easy to secure and the buckles some of the most impressive we've seen in any of our tests. You can recline both seats independently and the canopies are large and generous with UPF 50+ protection as well as windows that can be seen from a distance.

The only drawback to the iCandy tandem is that it is a bit costly. But a high-quality tandem will last for many years and have an attractive resale value so in the end, you'll likely recoup some of the cost. It also doesn't offer the same selection of seating configurations as the other top picks, but the iCandy is a great choice for families that don't want to spend a fortune.
