Buying a Tandem Double Buggy If you have twins or children very close in age, a tandem double buggy is a great option. They are narrower than side by side buggies and are great for tight spaces like doors, public transport, and rough terrain. double pushchair can be converted to travel systems that can take two carrycots or child car seats. However, they can be heavier and longer than single pushchairs and may feel less stable as they bump up the kerbs. Convertible There are a variety of options to add a second seat or making a single stroller a double. The Vista V2 from UPPAbaby is large, gorgeous stroller that converts easily from a single to a double by adding the rumble seating (available separately). It is more expensive and less maneuverable since the second seat is placed behind the first seat. The Nuna Demi Grow is a similar option 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 which can be used to accommodate two children. They are more expensive but they are made for long-distance trips over rough terrain and come with a higher resale price. Reclining the seat independently If you need a double buggy to transport children of different age groups, then you'll need a buggy that has an recline that is independent for both seats. This allows your older child to be able to relax while your baby is in a bassinet and vice versa. Consider the width of your stroller, as this will determine how easy it is for you to navigate through doors and on public transportation. If your doors are narrow, you might want to consider a side by side pushchair such as the Mountain Buggy Duet. It has a footprint similar to a single stroller but can still fit two seats and car seat adaptors. Tandem buggies are generally longer than side by side models, and therefore are more difficult to maneuver up and down kerbs. However, they can accommodate more combinations of car seats/car seats/seats and can make a great option for twins and siblings of various age. They are also 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 should you decide to sell it off after your children have grown out of it. This feature allows you to put your child in a comfortable position for naps or observation. This is especially important when you have a child younger than in the rear seat who may prefer to lay back and sleep while the more mature child wants to sit and observe their surroundings. A few brands have a unique seat design which allows the back seat to fully recline to an almost flat position, which is ideal for infants. For instance, 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 into multiple positions so that your children have a the option of where they want to sit and also comes with an excellent UPF 50+ canopy with windows that can be seen from afar. Larger than twin buggies It's not necessary to have twins to benefit from a bigger double buggy. They're perfect for siblings of different age groups and let you get around without worrying about your children touching each other. They're typically a bit longer too with one seat positioned behind the other and usually offering a fully-flat recline for infants (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 the same footprint as a single buggy. It comes with an adjustable handle that makes it easier for parents to push and a handbrake which can be useful on hills that are steep. It is suitable to use from birth and can be used with a wide range of car seats and carrycots. The iCandy Wave is another option. It can be folded in duo or mono mode in a single click. Its innovative frame can be expanded widthwise to allow for a second seat and can be used with up to two car seats or carrycots which makes it an ideal option for older siblings who wish to sit together and share the view. It's a little larger than other models, but it feels light and has a comfortable suspension for kerbs. There are also a variety of 3-wheeler tandems inline available such as Phil and Teds' inline models or iCandy's Peach and Pear buggies, for instance that provide stability and quick steering. They are often folded into a single buggy if you have limited space at home or you need to carry it from the car to the bus stop. Be aware that a two-wheeled buggy is more heavy and heavier than a single compact buggy. Be sure to know what you want prior to making a buy. You'll have to get it on and off subways, buses, and trains often, so it should be easy to use and manage. You might also have to move it on and off the car seat when taking your children to school or nursery so you'll need to be aware it can be easily manoeuvred within small spaces. From birth If you're expecting twins, or have another child after your first, you're likely need to find a pushchair that fits the entire family. Double buggies are generally a bit heavier, bulkier and more expensive than single strollers, however they can also be easier to maneuver in narrower entrances or around obstacles such as curbs. Many double buggies are compatible with piggyback boards (available from the manufacturer or as an add-on). This allows you to carry three children simultaneously. Tandem pushchairs put one child in the front of the other, so they're usually a better option for families with two children who are similar in age to be able to live well together. They're not foolproof. Siblings who are sitting side-by-side could punch or kick each other and children of different heights can fight over who sits higher. A tandem high-low model could solve this issue by elevating the seat to the rear, which prevents your older child from being 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 with a carrycot that can fit both infants and an older child. It has a clever frame that can be expanded in width when you add the second seat, and folds flat for compact storage. The cushioned buckles, straps and seats are all of the highest quality we have seen in our tests. Both seats can recline independently, and the canopies are big and spacious with UPF 50+ protection as well as windows that can be seen from a distance. The only downside to the iCandy tandem is that it's a bit expensive. However, a quality tandem will last for many years and have the highest resale value, so in the end, you'll likely recoup a portion of the cost. It doesn't come with the same range of seating configurations as some of our other top picks however, the iCandy is a good choice for families that don't want to shell out a lot of money.
