Buying a Tandem Double Buggy

If you have twins or children similar in age, a tandem double buggie is a fantastic option. They're smaller than side-by-side buggies, and ideal for maneuvering tight spaces such as entrances, on public transportation and on rocky terrain.

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

Convertible

If you're looking for convertible single-to-double push chair stroller or want to add an additional seat to an existing one, there are many options to choose from. The UPPAbaby Vista V2 is a spacious, gorgeous stroller that easily converts from a single stroller to a double by adding the rumble seat (available separately). It's costly and less mobile than other double strollers since the second seat goes in front 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.

Other options include twin buggies that have all Terrain Double buggy-terrain wheels as well as joggers that have fixed wheels that can accommodate two kids. They are generally more expensive but they're designed for long-distance trips over rough terrain and can have a higher resale value.

Independent seat recline

If you're looking for a lightweight double stroller buggy to carry children of different ages, you'll require a model with an recline independent for both seats. This will allow your older child to sit back and relax while the baby sleeps in the bassinet and vice versa.

It is also important to consider the width of the stroller as it will impact the ease of navigate through doors and on public transportation. If you have narrow doors, it may be worth considering a side-by-side pushchair, such as the Mountain Buggy Duet which has the advantage of having a footprint that is similar to a single buggy, but can still use two seats and car seat adaptors.

Tandem buggies are usually smaller than side-byside models, and aren't as easily maneuverable through kerbs and up and down, however, they can accommodate a wider range of seat/carrycot/car seat combinations so can be a good option for twins or siblings of various age groups. They are also more expensive than single-to double to single buggy buggies, but are worth the purchase if you plan to keep it for years and will have a decent amount of resale value if you decide to sell it when your children are out of it.

This feature will allow you to put your child in the most comfortable position for naps or observation. This is essential for children who are in the back seat and would like to nap while the child in the front prefers to sit up and observe the surroundings.

Certain brands have a unique design that allows the back seat of their vehicles to recline into a position that is nearly flat, which is ideal for newborns. The iCandy Orange, for example, has stadium-style seating that can be reclined in various positions. It also has a UPF 50+ canopy and windows that peek out.

Larger than twin buggies

You don't need to have twins in order to benefit from a bigger double buggy - they're ideal for siblings of different age groups and let you move around without worrying about your children touching. They're typically a bit larger too with one seat positioned behind the other and usually with a fully-flat recline option for infants (or an upright position for toddlers).

A popular option is the Mountain Buggy Duet, which has the slimmest side-byside design available and has a footprint similar to one buggy. It also has an adjustable handle, making it easy for parents of different heights to push, and an adjustable handbrake, which is useful when tackling steep hills. It is suitable for use from birth, and it can be combined with a wide range of car seats and carrycots.

The iCandy Wave is another option. It folds in either mono or duo mode in a single click. The frame's clever design expands widthways to accommodate a second chair and it can be used with two carrycots or car seats so it's an excellent option for older siblings that want to sit in a group and share the view. It's slightly bigger than the other models, but it feels light and has a comfortable suspension for the kerbs.

There are a variety of 3-wheeler tandems with inline tires that provide stability and fast steering. Check out Phil and Teds inline models or iCandy Peach and Pear buggies. They are often folded into a single buggy if you are limited in space at home or you need to transport it from your car to the bus station.

It's important to remember that a large double buggy will be heavier and bulkier than a smaller single buggy So make sure it's what you need before you purchase. It will be utilized on buses, trains and subways frequently, so it must be easy to manage and use. You may also need to juggle it on and off the car seat while taking your children to nursery or school so you'll need to know it's easy to maneuver in tight spaces.

Suitable from birth

If you're expecting twins or you have a child following your first, you're going to need to find an appropriate pushchair for the entire family. Double buggies are generally larger, heavier and cost more than single strollers, however they can also be more maneuverable in narrower entrances or around obstacles such as curbs. Many double buggies are compatible with piggyback boards (available from the manufacturer or as an accessory). This allows you to carry three children simultaneously.

Tandem pushchairs place one child in front of the other, and they're often a better choice when you have two children who are close enough in age to function well. But they're not foolproof: Siblings in side-by-side seats can kick or punch each other, and kids on different heights can squabble over who should sit higher. A tandem high-low model can solve this problem by elevating the seat towards the rear, which will prevent your child's height from being on the bottom and not having much of a view.

The iCandy Wave is a good option for parents who are looking for a convertible double buggy that includes a carrycot that is able to accommodate both infants and an older child. It features a smart frame that expands widthways when you add the second seat. It folds to flattish storage. The padded buckles, straps and seats are all of the best quality we have seen in our testing. The seats can be reclined independently and the canopies are large and generous with UPF 50+ protection and windows that peek out.

The only drawback to the iCandy tandem is that it is quite expensive. However, a quality tandem will last you for a long time and will have an attractive resale value so in the end you'll likely recover some of the cost. It doesn't have the same selection of seating configurations that others of our top choices, but the iCandy is a great choice for families who don't wish to spend a lot.
