Buying a Tandem Double Buggy A tandem double buggy can be a great choice if you have twins, or children who are close in age. They're narrower than side-by-side buggies, and ideal for maneuvering narrow spaces like doorways, on public transport and on rough terrain. Some can be converted to travel systems that take two carrycots or child car seats. However, they are heavier and longer than single pushchairs and may feel less stable in bumping up the kerbs. Convertible Whether you're looking for a convertible stroller that converts from single to double or to add a second seat to an existing one, there's several options available. The UPPAbaby V2 is spacious, gorgeous stroller. It can easily be transformed from a single stroller to a double by adding a rumble seat. It is more expensive and less maneuverable due to the fact that the second seat is located in front of the first seat. Nuna Demi Grow provides a similar choice but lacks storage underneath the seat when it's 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 are more expensive, however, they are designed for long-distance trips over rough terrain and come with higher resale prices. Reclining the seat independently If you need a double buggy that is able to transport children of various ages then you're going to require a model with an recline independent for both seats. This will allow your older child to sit back and relax while the baby is in the bassinet and reverse. Think about the width of your stroller to determine how easy it is for you to navigate through doors and public transport. If your doorways are very narrow, you may think about a side-by-side pushchair such as the Mountain Buggy Duet. It has a footprint similar to a single stroller, but it can accommodate two seats and car seat adaptors. Tandem buggies are generally larger than side-by-side models, making them more difficult to maneuver up and down kerbs. However they can be able to accommodate more combinations of seats/carrycots/car seats and are a great option for twins and siblings of different age. These buggies are also more expensive than single to double buggies, but they're worth it if you plan on keeping it for many years. They will also retain an impressive amount of value if sold when your children have outgrown the buggie. Another important feature to look for is if the seat backs can recline independently from one another since this will allow you to place your child in the ideal position for napping or observation. This is important for children who are in the back seat and wants to take a nap while the more mature child prefers to sit up to observe the surroundings. Some brands feature a unique seat design which allows the back seat to fully recline to an almost flat position that is perfect for infants. The iCandy Orange, for example is a stadium-style seat that can be reclined in multiple positions. It also offers UPF 50+ sun protection and windows that peek out. Wider than twin buggies You don't need to have twins in order to benefit from a larger double buggy – they're ideal for siblings of different age groups. They allow you to get around without having to worry about your children touching each other. They're usually a bit longer with one seat in front of the other. The seats can be reclined completely for infants, or put in an upright position for toddlers. Mountain Buggy Duet is a popular option. It has the slimmest design side-by-side on the market, and a footprint that is comparable to a single stroller. It also has an adjustable handle, making it easier for parents of various heights to push, and a handbrake, which can be useful when you have to climb steep hills. double pram pushchair is suitable for use right from birth, and can be used with a wide range of car seats and carrycots. Another option is the iCandy Wave, which has the convenience of a single click to fold and can be used in mono or duo mode. The frame's clever design can be expanded widthwise to accommodate a second chair and it can be used with up to two carrycots or car seats which makes it an ideal option for older siblings who want to sit together and enjoy the view. It's a bit longer than other models but still feels light to steer and has soft suspension that can handle kerbs. There are a lot of 3-wheeler inline tandems available such as Phil and Teds' inline models or iCandy's Peach and Pear buggies, for example – which provide stability and swift steering. They are often folded into a single buggy if you are limited in space at home, or need to transport it from the car to the bus. Be aware that a double wide buggy will be more heavy and more bulkier than one compact buggy. Be sure you know what you want before you buy. You'll need to take it off and on trains, buses and subways frequently, so it must be simple to use and manage. You might 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 be aware it is able to be maneuvered in tight spaces. From birth, you're a good candidate If you're expecting twins, or you have a child following your first, you're going need to find an appropriate pushchair for the entire family. Double buggies tend to be heavier and bulkier as well as more expensive than single strollers. However they are also easier to maneuver in tighter doorways and around obstacles such as curbs. Many double buggies can be used with piggyback boards (available from the manufacturer or as an accessory). This allows you to transport three children at the same time. Tandem pushchairs place one child in front the other. They're a great option for children who are close in age and are good friends. But they're not foolproof: Siblings in side-by-side seats could kick or punch one another, and children on different heights can squabble over who sits higher. This problem can be solved by a tandem high-low model that elevates the seat to the back. Your child's older one will not be seated on the lowest part of the car and won't be able to get a look out. The iCandy Wave is a great option for parents looking for an easy-to-use convertible double buggy that can fit both a newborn in a carrycot, and an older child in the main seat. It features a smart frame that can be expanded in width when you add the second seat, and folds flat to make it a compact storage. The padded seats, straps and buckles are all of the highest quality we have encountered in our testing. The canopies are large in size, UPF 50+ protection, as well as a windows that peek out. Both seats can recline independently. The only drawback to the iCandy tandem is that it is quite expensive. But a high-quality tandem will last for many years and have a high resale price, so in the end you'll likely recover a portion of the cost. It also doesn't offer the same range of seating configurations that others of our top choices however the iCandy is a good choice for families that don't want to shell out a lot of money.
