Which Double Tandem Pushchair is Best For Your Family?

There are many items that can make the life of parents with two children or twins easier. One of these is the double tandem pushchair.

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

Stability

A double tandem pushchair is perfect for families with twins or children of similar ages. It makes the journey of two children more comfortable and easy. There are so many different styles and configurations out there it can be difficult to know which one is suitable for your family. Some are better for running than others, or accommodate a third seat if you add on buggy boards. Which ones are most solid?

Side-by-side pushchairs (like the CYBEX Gazelle S) are great for transporting children of the same age. However they can be difficult to maneuver around narrow entrances and aisles for shopping. In this case it is best off with a stadium-style model such as the Bugaboo Donkey or Mountain Buggy Duet, which allow children to face either you or the other based on the arrangement.

Tandem models, which place one behind the next can be more manageable, however they are still not as stable as single strollers or child car seats. They can be difficult to push up curbs and they may have less storage space than a side by side pushchair.

You should test the double with both seats seated, because that's the way you'll be using it most. Examine how easy it is to steer and navigate the vehicle, especially in tight corners or using the front wheels that swivel. You should also check the brakes, as they might be difficult to use when both child seats are connected.

The Phil & Teds Sports Double is the perfect double stroller for those who want a durable, affordable stroller that can do it all. This stylish compact pushchair can be changed from a single model to tandem in a couple of simple steps. The seat and carrycot recline and can be used with the parent facing or facing each other, and the air-filled tyres and all-wheel suspension make it suitable for tackling a range of terrains. It comes with a handy underseat storage basket but access to it is restricted when the second seat is placed.

Comfort

There's a double stroller for any family, regardless of whether you have twins or a toddler newborn. They can generally transport both children side by side, however many can also transform into single pushchairs (although this will often involve taking off one seat). They tend to be larger than a single buggy, but the majority offer ultra flexibility and a good value for price.

In our recent double review of pushchairs, we asked testers to score each model based on a variety of factors including ride comfort, ease of handling and how it folded. They also noted the ease of it to get the car seat in and out and whether it could be used with a baby carrier.

The Stroller & Co City Tour 2 Double is an excellent example of a flexible, comfortable and lightweight dual stroller. Our reviewers were impressed by its spacious UPF 50+ canopy, which offers real shade and the ability to peek at. Both seats can recline into multiple positions by pressing a button. One seat can be made to lie flat, so babies can sleep peacefully in the carrycot attached above it.

The reversible seat liner made of bamboo, which naturally antibacterial, on one side and soft Jersey on the other side is an excellent feature. The fact that it can be folded in one hand is also an excellent feature, particularly when you have to watch two small children.

Side-by-side models are typically more expensive than tandem buggies. However, they offer the most flexibility since they are designed to fit in narrow aisles and doors. They can be difficult to move up kerbs, and are heavy to push, but they have a front-loaded load that helps 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 newborn. It can keep your children content by keeping them from arguing or waking each other up. This type of buggy is ideal for those who plan to use it on public transport, as it can be more easily incorporated into the space available.

Some models can offer an extreme degree of flexibility, including the ability to switch back to single mode if your baby is ready to use a stroller without needing to purchase a new one. The UPPAbaby V2 Double is able to accommodate two infant car seats in the back, as well as a ridingboard, making it perfect for three kids. It can even be used with a stroller seat and a roll-away suitcase for the parents, allowing you to travel light but still taking everything your family requires.

The Joovy Caboose Ultralight Graphite double stroller has a distinct design than its counterparts, but it offers many of the same features as our top selections. We love that it folds with the use of a hand and can easily slide through doors, and also that the basket underneath is higher to make it easier to store your shopping in. The rear seat is covered to keep your child warm in winter.

A tandem is smaller than a side-by-side, making it difficult to navigate narrow aisles in shops or on busy footpaths. However, it is more maneuverable on rocky terrain than a standard pushchair. Some of these pushchairs could be difficult to steer in tight turns, particularly in the case of a child who is heavier in the front seat.

A double inline pushchair is a good option for the majority of families. It can be used as twin prams when your children are young, but it can also be converted into a tandem as they reach a certain age. Some models, like the iCandy Peach 3+, can be used with two i-Size vehicle seats, giving you maximum flexibility and the best double stroller value for money.

Stores

The main drawback of double buggy is that it could take up more space on public transport and it can be more difficult to maneuver through narrow doors and lifts. They also cost more, particularly side-by-side models with a second passenger in the front.

Some models, such as the Joolz Geo or the Uppababy Vista V2 are able to be converted into tandem pushchairs. This can be cost effective when you're planning to have another child in the near future and also extends the lifespan of your buggy. However, it could be tricky to convert back to a single when your older child has outgrown it.
