Buying a Tandem Double Buggy

A tandem double single pushchair buggy can be a great choice if you have twins, or children who are very close in age. They are a bit smaller than side-by-side buggies and are perfect for tight spaces like doors, public transport, and rough terrain.

Some can be converted into travel systems that can take two carrycots or child car seats. They can be heavier, longer and less stable than a single pushchair.

Convertible

There are a variety of options to add a second seat or changing a single stroller into a double pram and pushchair. The UPPAbaby V2 is a spacious, gorgeous stroller. It is easily converted from a single to a double by adding an rumble seat. It is more expensive and less maneuverable due to the fact that the second seat is placed in front of the first seat. The Nuna Demi Grow is a comparable model with great seating versatility but isn't equipped with storage under the seat when used in doubles mode.

Other options include all-terrain twin buggies, as well as fixed-wheel joggers that can accommodate two children. They are more expensive, but they are designed to last longer on rough terrain, and come with more expensive resales.

Independent seat recline

If you need a double buggy to carry children of different ages, you'll want one that has independent seat recline for both seats. This allows your child of a higher age to rest while the baby is in a bassinet, and reverse.

Consider the width of your stroller, as this will determine the ease of you to get through doors and public transportation. If your doorways are very narrow, you might want to consider a side-by-side pushchair like 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 generally are smaller than side-byside models and therefore aren't difficult to maneuver around kerbs however they can be able to accommodate a bigger range of seat/carrycot/car seat combinations so can be a good option for twins or siblings of different age groups. They are also more expensive than single-to-double buggies, but are worth the investment if you intend to keep it for a long time and will have a decent amount of resale value should you decide to sell it off after your children have grown out of it.

Another thing to look for is whether the backs of the seats can recline independently of each other as this will let you place your child in the most optimal position for napping or observation. This is crucial when your child is in the back seat and wants to rest while the older child prefers to sit up and observe the surrounding.

A few brands have an exclusive seat design that allows the back seat to completely recline to an almost flat position, which is ideal for babies. For example, the iCandy Orange has raised stadium-style seating and can recline both the toddler seat that comes with it as well as the optional RumbleSeat to multiple positions, to give your kids a the option of deciding where they will sit, and also comes with an excellent UPF 50+ canopy with windows that can be seen from afar.

Larger than twin buggies

They are ideal for siblings with different ages, and you can move about without having to worry about your children touching. They're typically a little larger too with one seat placed behind the other, and typically with a fully-flat recline option for babies (or a more upright position for toddlers).

A popular option is the Mountain Buggy Duet, which features the slimmest side-by-side design available and features a footprint similar to a single buggy. It comes with an adjustable handle that makes it easier for parents to push and a handbrake, which is useful on steep hills. It is suitable to use from birth and can be used with a variety of car seats and carrycots.

Another alternative is the iCandy Wave, which has a simple one-click to fold and can be used in duo or mono mode. Its clever frame expands in width to accommodate the second chair and can be used up to two car seats or carrycots. This makes it an ideal option for older siblings who want to be seated together. It's a little longer than other models, yet it's light to steer and comes with soft suspension that is able to handle kerbs.

There are also plenty of 3-wheeler tandems inline available such as Phil and Teds' inline models or iCandy's Peach and Pear buggies, for example that provide stability and quick steering. They are often folded into one buggy in case you have a small space at home or you need to transport it from your car to the bus station.

It's important to keep in mind that a double-buggy with a wider width will feel heavier and bulkier than a single buggy that is smaller Make sure that it's what you need before you buy. You'll have to get it on and off subways, trains and buses often, so it should be easy to use and manage. You may need to juggle the car seat in and out when you take your child to school or to nursery.

From your birth, you are a good candidate

You'll need a pushchair for the whole family, whether you're expecting twins or you have a second child after you've had your first. Double buggies are generally heavier, bulkier, and more expensive than single strollers. However, they are more maneuverable in narrower doorways, or around obstacles like curbs. Many are also compatible with piggyback ride-along boards (either from the manufacturer or through an additional accessory purchase) so you can transport three children at a time.

Tandem pushchairs place one child in front of the other, and they're generally a better option for families with two children who are similar in age to get along well. But they're not foolproof Side-by-side chairs could kick or punch each other, and children with different heights may argue over who gets to sit higher. A tandem high-low model can solve this problem by elevating the seat towards the rear, which prevents your child's older one from being sat on the bottom and not having the best view.

The iCandy Wave is a great option for parents looking for an easy-to-use convertible lightweight double pushchair buggy that can fit a newborn into a carrycot, and an older child in the main seat. It features a clever frame which expands in width when you add the second child seat. It can also fold flat for compact storage. The seats are cushioned and comfortable, the straps are simple to secure and the buckles are among the best we've seen on any of our tests. The canopies have a generous size, UPF 50+ protection, and the window is peekaboo. Both seats are reclined independently.

The only drawback to the iCandy is that it's on the expensive side however, a good tandem will last a long time and maintain its resale value. So you'll probably get back some of the cost over the long term. It doesn't have the same range of seating options as some of our other top choices however the iCandy is a great choice for families who don't want to shell out a lot of money.
