The Benefits Of Tandem Double Buggy At The Very Least Once In Your Lif…

Buying a Tandem Double Buggy

If you have twins or children similar in age, a tandem double push chair buggy is a fantastic option. They are a bit smaller than side by side buggies, and are perfect for small spaces such as doorways, public transport and rocky terrain.

Some can be converted to travel systems that can take two carrycots or child car seats. They are typically heavier, longer and less stable than a single pushchair.

Convertible

There are a variety of options for adding a second seating or converting a single stroller to Double pram buggy. The UPPAbaby is a spacious, gorgeous stroller. It is easily changed from a single double stroller to a dual by adding a Rumble seat. It's costly and less maneuverable than other dual strollers double since the second seat goes to the left of the front seat. The Nuna Demi Grow is a similar model with great seating versatility but does not have storage under the seat when used in doubles mode.

Other options include all-terrain twin buggies, as well as fixed-wheel joggers that can hold two children. They tend to be more expensive, however they're designed to last longer on rough terrain, and may have a higher resale value.

Reclining the seat independently

If you're looking for a double pram and pushchair stroller which can accommodate children of different ages, you will need one with a recliner that is independent for both seats. This allows your child of a higher age to relax while the baby is in the bassinet, and vice versa.

Think about the width of your stroller, as this will determine the ease of you to navigate through doors and on public transport. If your doorways are very narrow, you might think about a side by side pushchair like the Mountain Buggy Duet. It has a footprint similar to a single stroller, but it can accommodate two seats and car seat adaptors.

Tandem buggies are typically larger than side-by-side models, which makes them more difficult to maneuver up and down kerbs. However, they can accommodate more combinations of car seats, carrycots and seats and are an excellent choice for twins and siblings of different ages. These buggies are more expensive than single buggies to double push chair however they're worth the cost if you plan to keep it for a few years. They also hold some value when sold once your children are old enough to use it.

Another crucial thing to look for is if the seat backs are able to recline independently of one another as this will let you place your child in the ideal position for napping or observation. This is especially important if you have a young child in the rear seat who will prefer to lay back and sleep while the older child would prefer to sit and observe their surroundings.

Certain brands come with an exclusive seat design that allows the back seat to fully recline to an almost flat position which is perfect for babies. For instance the iCandy Orange has raised stadium-style seating and can recline the included toddler seat and the add-on RumbleSeat into various positions to give your kids a the option of deciding where to sit, as well as offering an excellent UPF 50+ canopy with windows that peek out.

More spacious than twin buggies

They are ideal for siblings of different age groups, and you can move about without having to worry about your children touching. They're usually a bit longer too with one seat positioned behind the other, and typically offering a fully-flat recline for newborns (or an upright position for toddlers).

A popular choice is the Mountain Buggy Duet, which is the tiniest side-by-side model available and features a footprint similar to one buggy. It has an adjustable handle that makes it easier for parents to push and a handbrake that is useful on steep hills. It is suitable from birth and is compatible with a range of car seats and carrycots, which means it's a great travel system.

Another option is the iCandy Wave, which has a simple one-click to fold and can be used in duo or mono mode. Its clever frame expands widthways to accommodate a second chair and it can be used with two car seats or carrycots making it a great choice for older siblings who wish to sit together and enjoy the view. It's a little larger than other models, but it still feels light and has a comfortable suspension for curbs.

There are plenty of 3-wheeler tandems with inline wheels that offer stability and swift steering. Check out Phil and Teds inline models as well as iCandy Peach and Pear buggies. These can often be folded into one buggy if you are limited in space at home or need to carry it from the car to the bus stop.

It's important to keep in mind that a double-buggy with a wider width will feel bulkier and heavier than a smaller single buggy So make sure it's what you need before you buy. You'll have to get it on and off trains, buses and subways frequently, so it must be easy to operate and manage. You may also need to juggle it on and off the car seat when taking your children to nursery or school so you'll need to ensure it is able to be maneuvered in small spaces.

The best time to start is when you are born.

If you're expecting twins or have another child after your first, you're likely need to find a stroller that can accommodate the entire family. Double buggies are generally a bit heavier, bulkier and more expensive than single strollers. However, they are also easier to manoeuvre through narrower doors or around obstacles such as curbs. Many double buggies can be used with piggyback boards (available from the manufacturer or as an accessory). This lets you transport three children at once.

Tandem pushchairs place one child in front the other. They are a good option if your children are of similar ages and get along well. But they're not foolproof Side-by-side chairs may punch or kick one another, and children with different heights may argue over who gets to sit higher. A tandem high-low model is able to solve this issue by elevating the seat to the rear, which prevents your child's older one from being sat on the bottom and not having any view.

The iCandy Wave is a great choice for parents looking for an easy-to-use convertible double buggy that can fit both a newborn in a carrycot as well as an older child in the main seat. It features an intelligent frame that increases in size when you add a second child seat. It folds flat to make it a compact storage. The padded seats are comfortable, the straps are simple to fasten and the buckles some of the best we've seen on any of our tests. The canopies have a generous size, UPF 50+ protection, and a peekaboo window. Both seats are reclined independently.

The only downside of the iCandy is that it's expensive however, a good tandem will last for years and maintain its resale value. So you'll probably get back some of the cost in the long run. The iCandy doesn't come with the same seating arrangements as our other top picks. However, it's an ideal choice for families who don't wish to spend much money.
