Buying a Tandem Double Buggy

A tandem double Buggy newborn buggy can be a great choice if you have twins, or children who are close in age. They're a bit smaller than side-byside buggies and ideal for navigating tight spaces such as doorways, on public transport and on rocky terrain.

Some can be converted to travel systems that can take two carrycots or car seats for children. However, they can be heavier and longer than single pushchairs and may feel less stable bumping up the kerbs.

Convertible

Whether you're looking for a convertible single-to-double stroller or want to add another seat to an existing one, there are a variety of options available. The Vista V2 from UPPAbaby is a big, beautiful stroller that easily converts 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 on top of the first seat. Nuna Demi Grow is a similar model however, it doesn't have storage under the seat when it's used as a double stroller.

Other options include all-terrain twin buggies as well as fixed-wheel joggers that can hold two children. These are more expensive, but they are made for long trips on rough terrain and come with a higher resale price.

Independent seat recline

If you want a double stroller that will accommodate children of different age groups, you'll require one with a recliner that is independent for both seats. This will allow your older child to relax while the baby is sleeping in a bassinet and reverse.

You'll also have to think about the size of the pushchair as this will impact how easy it is to navigate through doors and on public transport. If your doors are narrow, you may want to consider a side by side double stroller by side pushchair, such as the Mountain Buggy Duet. It has a footprint that is similar to a single stroller, but it can accommodate two seats and car seat adaptors.

Tandem buggies are generally longer than side by side models, and therefore are more difficult to maneuver around and down kerbs. However, they can accommodate more combinations of car seats, carrycots and seats and can make a great option for twins and siblings of different ages. They are also more expensive than single-to stokke double stroller buggies, but are a worthwhile investment if you intend to keep it for many years and will retain a decent amount of resale value should you sell it on when your children are out of it.

Another thing to look for is if the seat backs are able to recline independently of one another as this will let you place your child in the best position to nap or observe. This is particularly important if you have a child younger than in the rear seat who may want to lie back and relax while the more mature child wants to sit up and look around their surroundings.

Some brands have a unique design that allows the back seat of their vehicles to recline into a position that is almost flat, perfect for newborns. For instance the iCandy Orange has raised stadium-style seating and can recline the toddler seat that comes with it and the add-on RumbleSeat into various positions so your kids can have a choice of where to sit as well as offering an excellent UPF 50+ canopy with windows that peek out.

Larger than twin buggies

It's not necessary to have twins in order to benefit from a wider double buggy. They're perfect for siblings of various ages and allow you to get around without worrying about your children touching each other. They're typically a bit longer with one seat in front of the other. The seats can be reclined fully for infants, or put in an upright position for toddlers.

A popular choice is the Mountain Buggy Duet, which features the slimmest side-by-side design on the market and has the same footprint as one buggy. It also comes with an adjustable handle, making it easy for parents of different heights to push as well as a handbrake, which can be useful when you have to climb steep hills. It is suitable for use from birth, and it can be combined with a range of car seats and carrycots.

The iCandy Wave is another option. It can be folded in either mono or duo mode with just a single click. The frame's clever design can be expanded to accommodate an additional chair and can be used with up to two car seats or carrycots. This makes it a fantastic option for older siblings who would like to sit together. It's slightly larger than other models, but it isn't heavy and has a soft suspension for curbs.

There are a variety of 3-wheeler tandems with inline wheels that offer stability and quick steering. Check out Phil and Teds inline models, or iCandy Peach and Pear buggies. Often these can be folded down to size one buggy which is useful if you struggle with storage at home or frequently need to lug it in and out of your car on public transport.

It's important to remember that a wide double buggy will feel bulkier and heavier than a smaller single buggy, so make sure you're getting what you need before you purchase. It is likely to be used on buses, trains and subways frequently, so it must be easy to manage and use. You may also have to juggle it onto 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 within small spaces.

From birth, you are an ideal candidate

You'll need a pushchair for the whole family, regardless of whether you're expecting twins or if you have a child after having your first. Double buggies are typically a bit heavier, bulkier and cost more than single strollers, but they are also easier to manoeuvre in narrower doorways or around obstacles like curbs. Many double buggies can be used 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 front the other. They're a good option for children who are close in age and are good friends. However, they're not 100% secure: Siblings in side-by-side seats could kick or punch each other, and kids on different heights can squabble over who gets to sit higher. This problem can be solved by a tandem high-low model that elevates the seat in the rear. Your older child isn't seated at the bottom of the car and won't be able to get an eye.

The iCandy Wave is a good choice for parents looking for an adjustable double buggy that can be converted into a carrycot that can fit both infants and an older child. It has an intelligent frame that can be expanded in size when you add a second child seat. It also folds flat for storage that is compact. The padded straps, buckles, and seats are all of the highest quality we have seen in our tests. The canopies are large in size, UPF 50+ protection, as well as a the window is peekaboo. Both seats can be reclined independently.

The only drawback to the iCandy is that it's a bit on the expensive side but a high-quality tandem will last for a long time and will retain its resale value, so you'll probably get back some of the cost in the end. The iCandy doesn't have the same seating options as our other top choices. It's nevertheless an ideal choice for families who don't wish to spend lots of money.
