This Is How Tandem Double Buggy Will Look Like In 10 Years' Time

Buying a Tandem double stroller with infant car seat Buggy

If you have twins or children very similar in age, a tandem double buggy is a great choice. They're a bit smaller than side-byside buggies and are ideal for maneuvering tight spaces, such as doorways, on public transport and on rocky terrain.

Many convert into travel systems to use two carrycots or car seats. They are typically heavier, longer and less stable than a single pushchair.

Convertible

If you're looking for a convertible single-to-double stroller or want to add a second seat to an existing one, there are a variety of options available. The UPPAbaby V2 is a large, beautiful stroller. It can easily be transformed from a single stroller to a dual by adding the rumble seat. However, it's expensive and less mobile than other double Stroller lightweight strollers because the 2nd seat goes in front of the front seat. The Nuna Demi Grow is a comparable model with a wide range of seating options, but lacks under-seat storage when used in doubles mode.

Other options include twin buggies with all-terrain wheels, and joggers with fixed wheels that can be used to carry two kids. These are more expensive, however, they are designed for long-distance trips over rough terrain, and come with more expensive resales.

Independent seat recline

If you're looking for a double buggy that is able to transport children of various ages then you're going to need a buggy that has an recline that is independent for both seats. This will allow your child's older to relax in the back while the baby is in the bassinet and vice versa.

Take into consideration the width of your stroller and consider the ease of you to get through doors and public transportation. If you have narrow doorways then it might be worthwhile to consider a side-by-side pushchair, such as the Mountain Buggy Duet which has the advantage of having a footprint similar to a single buggy, however it can take 2 seats and car seat adaptors.

Tandem buggies are typically longer than side by side models, which makes them more difficult to maneuver around and down kerbs. However, they can accommodate more combinations of seats/carrycots/car seats and are a great option for twins and siblings of different age. They are also more expensive than single-to-double travel buggy buggies but are a good investment if you plan to keep it for many years and have a good amount of resale value if you decide to sell it off after your children have grown out of it.

Another thing to look for is if the backs of the seats can recline independently from one another because this allows you to place your child in the most optimal position for naps or watching. This is crucial when your child is in the back seat and wants to take a 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 into a position that's nearly flat, which is ideal for infants. For instance, the iCandy Orange has raised stadium-style seating that can recline both the toddler seat that comes with it and the add-on RumbleSeat into various positions so your kids can have a choice of where to sit, as well as providing an excellent UPF 50+ canopy with windows that peek out.

More spacious than twin buggies

They are ideal for siblings with different age groups, and they allow you to move about without having to worry about your children touching. They're typically a more spacious, with one seat behind the other. The seats can be reclined completely for infants, or put in an upright position for toddlers.

A popular option is the Mountain Buggy Duet, which features the slimmest side-by-side design on the market and has a footprint similar to one buggy. It also features an adjustable handle, making it easy for parents of different heights to push, and a handbrake that can be useful when you have to climb difficult terrains. It is suitable to use from birth and it can be combined with a wide range of car seats and carrycots.

The iCandy Wave is another option. It folds in duo or mono mode in a single click. The clever frame can be expanded to accommodate an additional chair and can be used up to two car seats or carrycots. This makes it a great option for older siblings who want to sit together. It's a bit longer than other models, but it's light to steer and comes with soft suspension to tackle kerbs.

There are a lot of 3-wheeler tandems inline available such as Phil and Teds' inline models or iCandy's Peach and Pear buggies for instance that provide stability and swift steering. These can often be folded into one buggy in case you have a small space at home, or need to transport it from the car to the bus station.

Be aware that a two-wheeled buggy will be heavier and more bulkier than a single compact buggy. Be sure to know what you want prior to making a buy. It is likely to be used on trains, buses and subways often, so it should be easy to manage and use. You may also need to move it on and off the car seat when taking your children to nursery or school so you'll need to know it's easy to maneuver in small double stroller spaces.

From birth, you are a good candidate

You'll need a pushchair for your entire family, regardless of whether you're expecting twins or you have another child after having your first. double strollers buggies are generally a bit heavier, bulkier and cost more than single strollers, however they are also easier to maneuver through narrower doors or around obstacles like curbs. They are also compatible with piggyback ride-along boards (either from the manufacturer or through an accessory purchase) so you can transport three children at once.

Tandem pushchairs place one child in the front of the other, and they're generally a better option when you have two children that are close enough in age to function well. But they're not completely safe: Siblings in side-by-side seats may punch or kick each other, and children who are different heights can argue over who sits higher. A tandem high-low model could solve this issue by elevating the seat towards the rear, which will prevent your older child from being on the bottom and not having the best view.

The iCandy Wave is a great option for parents looking for an easy-to-use double buggy that converts to fit both a newborn in a carrycot, and an older child in the main seat. It has an intelligent frame that can be expanded in size when you add a second child seat. It can also fold flat to make it a compact storage. The cushioned seats are comfortable, the straps are simple to fasten, and the buckles some of the most comfortable we've seen on any of our tests. Both seats can recline independently and the canopies are large and generous with UPF 50+ protection and windows that can be seen from a distance.

The only drawback to the iCandy tandem is that it is a bit expensive. But a high-quality tandem will last you for many years and have a high resale price, so at the end of the day, you'll likely recoup some of the cost. The iCandy doesn't come with the same seating options as our other top picks. However, it's an excellent choice for families who don't want to spend much money.
