Which Double Tandem Pushchair is Best For Your Family?

If you're preparing for twins or another child, there are plenty of products available to make life with children moving around more comfortable. The double tandem pushchair is just one of the most popular.

Many brands offer double buggy models as part of their range, from Phil and Teds to Baby Jogger. They are available as side-by-side or convertible models inline.

Stability

A double tandem pushchair is ideal for families with twins or children with similar ages. It makes travelling with two children more comfortable and less stressful. However, there are numerous styles and configurations out there it can be hard to know which one is the best for your family. Some are better for running than others, or accommodate a third seat if you add buggy boards. Which ones are most sturdy?

The CYBEX Gazelle is a great option for transporting children the same age. However they can be difficult to maneuver around narrow entrances and shopping aisles. In this case, you might be best off with a stadium-style model such as the Bugaboo Donkey or Mountain Buggy Duet that allow children to face either you or the other based on the configuration.

Tandem models, which seat one behind the next, are more manageable but still not as stable than single strollers or child car seats. They can be difficult to get up curbs and may have less storage capacity than a side-byside pushchair.

To get a really good impression of the stability of doubles, you have to try it out using both seats, as this is how you will use it the most frequently. Test how easy it is to maneuver and steer the vehicle, particularly in tight turns or with the front wheels that swivel. It is recommended to test the brakes, too as they can be difficult to operate when both child seats are attached.

If you're looking for a top-quality double stroller that does everything look no further than the Phil & Teds Sport Double. This sleek and compact stroller can be converted from a single and double stroller unit to an asymmetrical model in just few steps. The seat and carrycot both recline and can be used with the parent facing or facing one another and the tyres with air-filled tires and all-wheel suspension make it ideal for tackling a variety of terrains. It also comes with an underseat storage basket but access to it is restricted when the second seat is in place.

Comfort

If you have twins, or a baby and toddler, there is a double pushchair that will accommodate your family. They can be used to transport two children together, however many can be converted into a single pushchair (though this will usually require the removal of one seat). Most are wider than a single stroller but they provide great value and versatility.

In our most recent double pushchair reviews, we surveyed testers to score each model on a range of factors including ride comfort, ease of use and how it folded. They also rated the ease of taking out and putting in the car seat, as well as whether or not it could be used with baby carriers.

The Stroller & Co City Tour 2 Double stroller is a great example for a lightweight twin buggy, comfortable and flexible dual stroller. The reviewers who reviewed it praised its large UPF 50+ canopy, which provides real shade with the option of peekaboo. Both seats can recline into multiple positions by pressing an arrow. One seat can be set to lie flat so that the baby can rest in the carrycot on top of it.

Other fantastic features of this pushchair include the padded handlebar that comes with a cup pouch and holder and the easy-to-use brake system and the reversible seating liner made of bamboo that is naturally anti-bacterial on one side and soft jersey on the other. The possibility of being folded with just one hand is also an amazing feature, especially when you have to watch two little ones.

Side-by-side models are generally more expensive than tandem buggies, however they can offer maximum flexibility as they are usually made to fit into narrow doors and aisles. They aren't easy to navigate up kerbs and can be heavy to push however, they come with an front-loaded load that can help to balance the weight.

Flexibility

A double tandem pushchair can be a great addition to any family, regardless of whether you have twins or a toddler and a newborn. It can keep your children happy by stopping them from arguing or waking one other up. This type of buggy may also be great if you plan to use it on public transportation because it is more convenient to fit into the space available.

Some models are extremely flexible, allowing you to convert back to single mode once your child is old enough to use strollers double strollers. This allows you to avoid buying a new stroller. The UPPAbaby Double can fit two infant car seats in the back, as well as a ridingboard, making it perfect for three kids. It can be used with a stroller and a rolling case for the parents. This allows you to travel light while having everything you need for your family.

The Joovy Caboose Ultralight Graphite double stroller is a different design than its counterparts, but it offers many of the same features that we have outlined in our top picks. We love that it folds with hands and easily through doors, and the basket under the carriage is higher to make it easier to store your on shopping. Its rear seat is also protected to keep your kid warm during winter.

A side-by-side pram is wider than a tandem, making it harder to navigate crowded walkways or narrow aisles in shops. It can be easier to maneuver on rough terrain than a standard double pushchair. Some of these prams may be difficult to steer, especially when your child is larger.

An inline double pushchair, however, is a better option for most families. It can be used as twin pushchair prams for children who are young however, it can be transformed into a tandem when they get older. Some models, like the iCandy Peach 3+, can accommodate two i-Size car seats, giving you maximum flexibility and value for money.

Storage

The biggest disadvantage of a double buggy may be that it takes up more room on public transport and is difficult to maneuver through narrow doorways or lifts. They are also more expensive, particularly side-by-side models that have a second seat up front.

Certain models can be converted from single and double stroller pushchair to tandem such as the Joolz Geo and the Uppababy Vista V2. This can be cost effective if you're planning on having another baby at some point, and it extends the life of your buggy. However, it could be tricky to convert back to a single once your older child has outgrown it.
