Seven Reasons To Explain Why Tandem Double Buggy Is Important

Buying a Tandem Double Buggy

If you have twins or children very similar in age, a tandem double buggie is a great choice. They are narrower than side-by-side buggies and are great for small spaces such as doors, public transport, and terrain that is rocky.

Many also transform into travel systems that include two carrycots or car seats. However, they can be heavier and longer than single pushchairs, and may not be as stable when bumping up kerbs.

Convertible

If you're looking for a convertible stroller that can be converted from a single to a Double Jogging Stroller For Infants or to add a second seat to an existing one, there are several options available. The UPPAbaby is a large, beautiful stroller. It can easily be changed from a single to a double by adding a seating area with a rumble. It is more expensive and less maneuverable since the second seat is located on top of the first seat. Nuna Demi Grow is a similar model, but it lacks storage underneath the seat when it's used as a double car seat stroller stroller.

Other alternatives include all-terrain twin buggies as well as fixed-wheel joggers that can hold two children. They are more expensive, but they are made to last longer on rough terrain and come with more expensive resales.

Independent recline of the seat

If you are looking for a smallest double buggy stroller which can accommodate children of various ages, you will need one with independent seat recliner for both seats. This allows your child of a higher age to sit back and relax while the baby is in the bassinet, and vice versa.

Consider the width of your pushchair to determine how easy it is for you to get through doors and on public transport. If you have narrow doors, it could be worth considering a side-by-side pushchair such as the Mountain Buggy Duet which has the advantage of having a footprint that is similar to a single buggy however it can take 2 seats and car seat adaptors.

Tandem buggies are usually a little longer than side-by-side models and so aren't as easy to manoeuvre up and down kerbs, but they can accommodate a wider range of car seat/car seat combinations, and are a great option for twins or siblings of various age. They can also be more expensive than single-to double buggies, but are a worthwhile investment if you intend to keep it for years and will have 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 whether the seat backs can recline independently of each other as this will let you place your child in the most optimal position to nap or observe. This is especially important when you have a younger child in the rear seat, who will prefer to lay back and relax while the older child wants to sit up and look around their surroundings.

A few brands have a unique design for their seats that allows the back seat to completely recline to an almost flat position which is perfect for newborns. For instance the iCandy Orange has raised stadium-style seating and can recline both the included toddler seat and the additional RumbleSeat into multiple positions so that your children have a a choice of where to sit, and also comes with an excellent UPF 50+ canopy with peekaboo windows.

More spacious than twin stroller side by side buggies

They are ideal for siblings with different ages, and you can move around without worrying about your children touching. They're typically a little larger too with one seat placed behind the other and with a fully-flat recline option for newborns (or an upright position for toddlers).

A popular option 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 has an adjustable handle, which makes it easier for parents of different heights to push, and a handbrake that can be useful when you have to climb steep hills. It is suitable for use right from birth, and it can be combined with a wide range of car seats and carrycots.

Another alternative is the iCandy Wave, which has a simple one-click to fold and is able to be utilized in a duo or mono mode. The frame's clever design expands in width to accommodate a second chair and can be used to accommodate up to two car seats or carrycots. This makes it a fantastic option for older siblings who wish to sit together. It's a bit longer than other models, but it feels light and has a comfortable suspension for the kerbs.

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

It's important to remember that a wide double buggy travel system buggy will feel heavier and bulkier than a smaller single buggy Make sure that it's what you require before purchasing. You'll need to take it on and off trains, buses and subways often, so it should be easy to operate and manage. You might need to manage the car seat on and off when taking your child to school or nursery.

From birth

There will be a need for a pushchair for the whole family, regardless of whether you're expecting twins or if you have a child after having your first. Double buggies are typically a bit heavier, bulkier and cost more than single strollers, however they can also be easier to maneuver through narrower doors or around obstacles such as curbs. They are also compatible with piggyback ride-along boards (either from the manufacturer or as an additional accessory purchase) so you can transport three children at the same time.

Tandem pushchairs place one child in front of the other, so they're generally a better option when you have two children that are close enough in age to be able to live well. However, they're not 100% secure Siblings in a side-by-side seat can kick or punch each other, and kids with different heights may argue over who should sit higher. A tandem high-low model is able to solve this issue by elevating the seat at the rear, which will prevent your child's older one from being on the bottom and not getting much of a view.

The iCandy Wave is a great option for parents looking for an easy-to-use convertible double buggy that can fit a newborn into a carrycot as well as an older child in the main seat. It features an innovative frame that increases in size when you add a second child seat. It folds flat to make it a compact storage. The cushioned seats are comfortable, the straps easy to fasten and the buckles some of the most impressive we've seen in any of our tests. Both seats can recline independently and the canopies are spacious and large with UPF 50+ protection and peekaboo windows.

The only downside to the iCandy tandem is that it's quite expensive. However, a good tandem will last you for years and retain the highest resale value, so at the end of the day you'll probably recoup some of the cost. It also doesn't offer the same selection of seating configurations as the other top choices however the iCandy is a good choice for families who don't wish to spend a fortune.
