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 narrower than side-by-side buggies and are perfect for small spaces such as doors, public transport and rough terrain.

Many convert into travel systems to use two carrycots or car seats. They are often heavier, longer and less stable than a single to double buggy pushchair.

Convertible

If you're looking for convertible single-to-double stroller or want to add an additional seat to an existing one, there are many options to choose from. The Vista V2 from UPPAbaby is a big, beautiful stroller that can easily be converted from a single model to double by adding the rumble seat (available separately). It is more expensive and less maneuverable since the second seat is located in front of the first seat. The Nuna Demi Grow is a comparable model with a wide range of seating options, but does not have storage under the seat when used in doubles mode.

Other options include Lightweight twin Buggy buggies with all-terrain wheels as well as joggers that have fixed wheels that can accommodate two children. These tend to be more expensive, but they're made for long trips over rough terrain and can have more resale value.

Independent recline of the seat

If you require a double buggy to carry children of different age groups, then you'll need a buggy that has an independent seat recline for both seats. This allows your older child to rest while the baby is in the bassinet, and the reverse is true.

You'll also have to consider the width of the stroller as this will affect the ease of get through doors and on public transportation. If you have very narrow doorways then it might be worthwhile to consider a side-by-side pushchair like the Mountain Buggy Duet which has the advantage of having a footprint similar to a single buggy, however, it is able to use two seats and car seat adaptors.

Tandem buggies tend to be longer than side by side models, and therefore are more difficult to maneuver around and down kerbs. However they can also accommodate a wider range of combinations of car seats/car seats/seats and can make a great option for twins and siblings of various ages. They also tend to be more expensive than single-to double buggies, but are a good investment if you plan to keep it for years and will retain a decent amount of resale value should you decide to sell it when your children have grown out of it.

Another thing to look out for is if the backs of the seats can recline independently of each other because this allows you to put your child in the most optimal position for naps or watching. This is especially important when you have a younger child in the rear seat who will be inclined to lie down and relax while the older child would prefer to sit up and observe their surroundings.

Certain brands have a distinctive design that allows the back seat of their vehicles to recline fully to 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 comes with UPF 50+ sun protection and peekaboo windows.

Wider than lightweight twin buggy buggies

They are ideal for siblings of different age groups, and you can move about without worrying about your children touching. They're typically a little longer too, with one seat sitting behind the other and usually offering a fully-flat recline for newborns (or a more upright position for toddlers).

A popular option is the Mountain Buggy Duet, which has the slimmest side-byside design on the market and has the same footprint as a single buggy. It also comes with an adjustable handle, making it easy for parents of different heights to push as well as a handbrake, which is useful when tackling difficult terrains. It is suitable to use from birth and can be paired with a variety of car seats and carrycots.

The iCandy Wave is another option. It can be folded in duo or mono mode in a single click. The frame's clever design expands widthways to accommodate a second chair and can be used with up to two car seats or carrycots so it's an excellent choice for older siblings who want to sit together and share the view. It's slightly larger than other models, but it isn't heavy and has a soft suspension for the kerbs.

There are plenty of 3-wheeler tandems with inline wheels that offer stability and swift steering. Check out Phil and Teds inline models or iCandy Peach and Pear buggies. Most of them can be folded into the size of a single buggy, which is helpful for those who struggle with storage at home or have to lug it in and out of the boot on public transport.

It's worth bearing in mind that a large double buggy will feel heavier and bulkier than a single buggy that is smaller, so make sure it's what you require before purchasing. It will be used on buses, trains and subways frequently, so it must be easy to operate and use. It is possible that you will need to move the car seat when you take your child to school or nursery.

The best time to start is when you are born.

Whether you're expecting twins or you have a child following your first, you're going to need to find a stroller that can accommodate the entire family. Double buggies tend to be slightly heavier, bulkier and cost more than single strollers, but they are also easier to manoeuvre in narrower entrances or around obstacles such as curbs. Many double buggies work with piggyback boards (available from the manufacturer or as an add-on). This lets you transport three children at the same time.

Tandem pushchairs place one child ahead of the other. They're a great option if your children are similar in age and are able to get along. They're not completely safe. Siblings sitting side-by-side can kick or punch each other and children of different heights could argue over who sits higher. A tandem high-low model could solve this problem by elevating the seat towards the rear, which prevents your older child from sitting on the bottom and not having any view.

The iCandy Wave is a good option for parents who are looking for a convertible double buggy that includes a carrycot that can fit both a newborn and an older child. It has an innovative frame that can be expanded in size when you add the second child seat. It also folds flat for storage that is compact. The seats are cushioned and comfortable, the straps are simple to secure and the buckles some of the most comfortable we've seen on any of our tests. The canopies have a generous size with UPF 50+ protection, and the window is peekaboo. Both seats can be reclined independently.

The only downside of the iCandy is that it's expensive however, a good tandem will last for years and retain its resale value, so you'll probably get back some of the cost in the long run. It doesn't have the same range of seating options as the other top picks, but the iCandy is a great choice for families who don't wish to spend a fortune.
