Buying a Tandem Double Buggy

A tandem double buggy can be a fantastic option for twins or children who are very close in age. They're narrower than side-by-side buggies and are ideal for maneuvering narrow spaces like doors, on public transport and on rocky terrain.

Many convert into travel systems that use two carrycots or car seats. They can be heavier, longer and less stable than a single pushchair.

Convertible

If you're looking for a convertible stroller that converts from single to double or to add another seat to an existing one, there's a variety of options available. The UPPAbaby V2 is a large, beautiful stroller. It can be easily transformed from a single and double stroller stroller to a double by adding an rumble seat. However, it's pricey and less maneuverable than other dual strollers since the second seat is located to the left of the front seat. The Nuna Demi Grow is a similar option with great seating versatility but lacks under-seat storage when used in doubles mode.

Other alternatives include all-terrain twin buggies and fixed-wheel joggers that can accommodate two children. These tend to be more expensive but they're designed for long-distance trips over rough terrain and can have more resale value.

Reclining seat recline independently

If you're looking for a double buggy newborn stroller that 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 be able to relax while your baby is in a bassinet, and reverse.

It is also important to think about the size of the stroller as this will impact how easy it is to traverse doors and public transport. If your doorways are very narrow, you may think about a side-by-side pushchair like the Mountain Buggy Duet. It has a footprint that is similar to a single stroller, but it can accommodate two seats and car seat adaptors.

Tandem buggies are generally a little longer than side-by-side models and so aren't as easily maneuverable through kerbs and up and down, but they can accommodate a bigger range of seat/carrycot/car seat combinations making them a good option for twins or siblings of various age. They are also more expensive than single to double buggies however they're worth it if you intend to keep it for a number of years. They also hold some value if you decide to sell it when your children have outgrown the buggie.

Another thing to look out for is if the backs of the seats can recline independently of each other because this allows you to place your child in the ideal position to nap or observe. This is essential for children who are in the back seat and wants to nap while the more mature child prefers to sit up to observe the surroundings.

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

Larger than twin buggies

It's not necessary to have twins to benefit from a bigger double buggy. They're perfect for siblings of different age groups and let you go about your day without having to worry about your children touching each other. They're typically a bit longer too with one seat positioned behind the other and providing a flat recline for infants (or an upright position for toddlers).

A popular option is the Mountain Buggy Duet, which is the tiniest side-by-side model on the market and has an identical footprint to a single buggy. It has an adjustable handle that makes it easier for parents to push and a handbrake which can be useful on hills that are steep. It is suitable for use from birth, and can be used with a wide range of car seats and carrycots.

The iCandy Wave is another option. It folds in either mono or duo mode with just a single click. The frame's clever design expands widthways to accommodate a second chair and can be used with up to two car seats or carrycots so it's an excellent option for older siblings who want to sit in a group and enjoy the view. It's a little longer than other models, yet it's light to steer and comes with soft suspension that is able to handle the kerbs.

There are also a variety of 3-wheeler inline tandems available - check out Phil and Teds inline models, or iCandy's Peach and Pear buggies, for instance that offer stability and swift steering. They can be folded into one buggy in case you have a small space at home or you need to carry it from the car to the bus stop.

It's important to keep in mind that a double stroller with car seat-buggy with a wider width will feel heavier and bulkier than a compact single buggy, so make sure you're getting what you need before you buy. You'll be taking it off and on subways, buses, and trains frequently, so it must be easy to operate and manage. You may also have to move it on and off the car seat when you take your children to nursery or school so you'll need to know it's easy to maneuver in tight spaces.

From birth

You'll need a stroller for the whole family, whether you're expecting twins or if you have a child after having your first. Double buggies are generally heavier, bulkier, and more expensive than single strollers double. However they are much more maneuverable in tighter doors or around obstacles such as curbs. Many double buggies are compatible with piggyback boards (available from the manufacturer or as an accessory). This lets you transport three children at the same time.

Tandem pushchairs place one child in front the other. They're a great choice if your children are similar in age and get along well. However, they're not 100% secure Siblings in a side-by-side seat may punch or kick each other, and kids with different heights may argue over who gets to sit higher. This problem can be solved by a tandem high-low model that raises the seat at the back. Your child's older will not be seated on the bottom of the car and won't have much of an eye.

The iCandy Wave is a great choice 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 has a clever frame that expands widthways when you add the second seat and folds down to flattish storage. The cushioned seats, straps and buckles are all of the best quality we have seen in our tests. The canopies have a generous size, UPF 50+ protection, and a the window is peekaboo. Both seats can be reclined independently.

The only downside to the iCandy tandem is that it is a bit costly. However, a quality tandem will last you for many years and have a high resale price, which means that in the end you'll probably recoup some of the cost. It also doesn't offer the same range of seating configurations that others of our top picks however the iCandy is a great choice for families who don't wish to spend a fortune.
