Buying a Tandem Double Buggy

A tandem double buggy could be a great option if you have twins, or children who are close in age. They are smaller than side-by-side buggies and are perfect for narrow spaces like doors, public transport and terrain that is rocky.

There are many options to add a second seat or making a single stroller double pushchair with car seat. The UPPAbaby V2 is large, beautiful stroller. It can easily be transformed from a single to double stroller stroller to a double buggy sale by adding the seating area with a rumble. However, it's pricey and less maneuverable than other dual strollers due to the fact that the second seat is located to the left of the front seat. The Nuna Demi Grow is a similar model with a wide range of seating options, but isn't equipped with storage under the seat when used in doubles mode.

Tandem buggies are typically larger than side-by-side models, making them more difficult to maneuver up and down kerbs. However they can also accommodate a wider range of combinations of car seats/car seats/seats and can make an excellent choice for twins and siblings of various age groups. They also tend to be more expensive than single-to-double buggies, but are worth the investment if you plan to keep it for a long time and will have a decent amount of resale value if you decide to sell it off when your children have grown out of 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 put your child in the best position to nap or observe. This is essential if your child is in the back seat and wants to nap while the more mature child prefers to sit and observe the surroundings.

A few brands have a unique seat design which allows the back seat to completely recline into a nearly flat position that is perfect for babies. The iCandy Orange, for example, has stadium-style seating that can be reclined to multiple positions. It also comes with a UPF 50+ canopy and windows that peek out.

Larger than twin umbrella stroller buggies

Mountain Buggy Duet is a popular option. It has the slimmest design of the two-in-ones on the market and a footprint like a single stroller. It also features an adjustable handle, making it easier for parents of different heights to push as well as a handbrake, which is useful when tackling difficult hills.

Be aware that a double wide buggy is more heavy and more bulkier than one that is compact. Be sure to know what you want prior to making a purchase. You'll need to take it off and on subways, buses, and trains often, so it should be easy to operate and manage. You may also have to juggle it onto and off the car seat when you take your children to nursery or school so you'll need to ensure it is able to be maneuvered in small spaces.

From birth

Whether you're expecting twins or you have a child following your first, you're likely to need to find an appropriate pushchair for the entire family. Double buggies are generally heavier and bulkier, as well as more expensive than single strollers. However they are much more maneuverable in narrower doorways and around obstacles such as curbs. They are also compatible with piggyback ride-along boards (either from the manufacturer or through an additional accessory purchase) to allow you to transport three children at once.

Tandem pushchairs place one child in front of the other, and they're often a better choice for families with two children who are close enough in age to get along well together. But they're not foolproof: Siblings in side-by-side seats could kick or punch one another, and children with different heights may argue over who should sit higher. A tandem high-low model can solve this issue by elevating the seat to the rear, which will prevent your older child from being sat on the bottom and not having any view.

The iCandy Wave is a good choice for parents looking for a convertible double buggy that includes a carrycot that is able to accommodate both the newborn and the older child.

The cushioned straps, buckles, and seats are all of the highest quality we have seen in any of our tests. Both seats can recline independently and the canopies are large and generous with UPF 50+ protection and peekaboo windows.

The only drawback of the iCandy is that it's a bit expensive however, a good tandem will last for a long time and will retain its resale value. So you'll probably get back some of the cost in the end. The iCandy doesn't have the same seating arrangements as our other top choices. It's nevertheless an ideal choice for families who don't want to spend lots of cash.
