10 Locations Where You Can Find Tandem Double Buggy

Buying a Tandem Double Buggy

If you have twins or children similar in age, a tandem double buggy is a fantastic option. They are smaller than side by side buggies, and are great for tight spaces like doors, public transport and rough terrain.

Some convert into travel systems to use two carrycots or car seats. However, they can be heavier and longer than single pushchairs, and may not be as stable when in bumping up the kerbs.

Convertible

There are many options to add a second seat or converting a single stroller to lightest double stroller. The UPPAbaby V2 is large, beautiful stroller. It can be easily transformed from a single stroller to a dual by adding a rumble seat. It's costly and less maneuverable than other dual strollers because the 2nd seat is located in front of the front seat. Nuna Demi Grow provides a similar choice but lacks storage underneath the seat when it is used as a double stroller.

Other options include twin buggies that have all terrain double buggy-terrain wheels as well as joggers that have fixed wheels that can be used to carry two kids. These are more expensive, but they are made to last longer on rough terrain, and come with more expensive resales.

Suitable from birth

Tandem pushchairs Double place one child in front of the other. They are a good option for children who are similar in age and are able to get along. They're not foolproof.
