Buying a Tandem double travel stroller Buggy

If you have twins or children close in age, a tandem lightweight double stroller buggy is a great choice. They're smaller than side-by-side buggies and are ideal for maneuvering tight spaces such as entrances, on public transportation and rocky terrain.

Many also 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 kerbs.

Convertible

There are a variety of options for adding a second seating or changing a single stroller into double pushchairs. The UPPAbaby V2 is spacious, gorgeous stroller. It can easily be converted from a single to a double by adding an seating area with a rumble. It's costly and less maneuverable than other dual strollers due to the fact that the second seat is located in front of the front seat. Nuna Demi Grow provides a similar choice, but it lacks storage underneath the seat when it is used as a double stroller.

Other alternatives include all-terrain twin buggies as well as fixed-wheel joggers which can be used to accommodate two children. They tend to be more expensive, but they're made for long trips over rough terrain and could have a higher resale value.

Independent recline of the seat

If you are looking for a double stroller which can accommodate children of different age groups, you'll need one with an independent recliner for both seats. This allows your older child to be able to relax while your baby is sleeping in a bassinet, and vice versa.

It is also important to think about the size of the pushchair as it will impact the ease of navigate through doors and on public transport. If your doors are narrow, you might think about a side by side pushchair like the Mountain Buggy Duet. It has a footprint similar to a single Stroller Double, but it can accommodate two seats and car seat adaptors.

Tandem buggies generally are slightly longer than side-by-side models and therefore aren't easily maneuverable around kerbs however they can be able to accommodate a wider range of car seat/car seat combinations, and are a great option for twins or siblings of various age groups. They can also be more expensive than single-to-double buggies, but are worth the purchase if you plan to keep it for a long time and will retain a decent amount of resale value in the event that you sell it on when your children have grown out of it.

This feature will allow you to put your child in an ideal position for naps or to observe. This is especially important if you have a young child in the rear seat who may prefer to lay back and take a snooze while the older child would prefer to sit and stand double stroller up and observe their surroundings.

Certain brands have a distinctive design that allows the back of their vehicles to recline fully to a position that is almost flat, perfect for babies. The iCandy Orange, for example, has stadium-style seating that can be reclined to several positions. It also offers UPF 50+ sun protection and peekaboo windows.

Wider than twin buggies

They are ideal for siblings of different age groups, and they allow you to move about without worrying about your children touching. They are usually a little bit longer with one seat positioned behind the other. The seats can be reclined completely for newborns or in an upright position for toddlers.

Mountain Buggy Duet is a popular option. It has the slimmest design of the two-in-ones on the market and a footprint that is like the footprint of a single stroller. It comes with an adjustable handle that makes it easier for parents to push and a handbrake which can be useful on hills that are steep. It can be used from birth and is compatible with a variety of car seats and carrycots. This means it makes an excellent travel system.

The iCandy Wave is another option. It folds in duo or mono mode with just a single click. The clever frame expands to accommodate the 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 be seated together. It's a little longer than other models, yet it's light to steer and comes with soft suspension that can handle the kerbs.

There are also a variety of 3-wheeler tandems inline available - check out Phil and Teds' inline models or iCandy's Peach and Pear buggies, for instance that provide stability and swift steering. They are often folded into the size of one buggie, which is helpful when you have trouble storing it at home or need to lug it in and out of the car when you travel on public transport.

It's worth bearing in mind that a double-buggy with a wider width will be heavier and bulkier than a compact single buggy, so make sure it's what you need before purchasing. It is likely to be utilized on buses, trains and subways often, so it must be easy to operate and use. You might need to manage the car seat on and off while taking your child to school or nursery.

From birth, you're an ideal candidate

If you're expecting twins or you have a child following your first, you're going need to find a pushchair that fits the entire family. Double buggies are generally a bit heavier, bulkier and more expensive than single strollers. However, they can also be easier to maneuver in narrower doorways or around obstacles such as curbs. Many double buggies are compatible with piggyback boards (available from the manufacturer or as an add-on). This lets you transport three children at once.

Tandem pushchairs place one child in front the other. They're a good option if your children are close in age and are able to get along. But they're not completely safe Side-by-side chairs can kick or punch each other, and kids with different heights may argue over who sits higher. A tandem high-low model could solve this problem by elevating the seat towards the rear, which prevents your child's older one 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 accommodate a newborn in a carrycot and an older child in the main seat. It features a smart frame that expands in width when you add the second seat. It folds flat to make it a compact storage. The padded seats are comfortable, the straps are easy to secure and the buckles some of the most impressive we've seen in any of our tests. You can recline both seats independently and the canopies are spacious and large with UPF 50+ protection as well as peekaboo windows.

The only drawback to the iCandy tandem is that it is a bit costly. However, a quality tandem will last you for a long time and will have a high resale price, so at the end of the day you'll probably recoup some of the cost. It doesn't come with the same range of seating configurations as others of our top choices however, the iCandy is a good option for families that don't want to shell out a lot of money.
