Buying a Tandem Double BuggyA tandem double buggy could be a great choice if you have twins, or children who are very close in age. They are narrower than side by side buggies and are ideal for small spaces such as doors, public transport and terrain that is rocky.Many transform into travel systems that include two carrycots or car seats. They are often heavier, longer and less stable than a single pushchair.ConvertibleWhether you’re looking for a convertible stroller that can be converted from a single to a double or to add an additional seat to an existing one, there are a variety of options available. The UPPAbaby V2 is spacious, gorgeous stroller. It can easily be converted from a single to a dual by adding a seating area with a rumble. However, it’s expensive and less mobile than other double strollers due to the fact that the second seat is located behind the front seat. Nuna Demi Grow is a similar model however, it doesn’t have storage underneath the seat when it’s used as a double stroller.Other options include twin buggies with all-terrain wheels as well as joggers that have fixed wheels that can be used to carry two kids. 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 independentlyIf you require a double buggy that can carry children of different ages then you’re going to require a model with an recline that is independent for both seats. This will allow your older child to rest in the back while the baby is in the bassinet and reverse.Consider the width of your pushchair and consider the ease of you to navigate through doors and on public transportation. If you have very narrow doors, it may be worth considering a side-by-side pushchair like the Mountain Buggy Duet which has the benefit of having a footprint that is similar to a single buggy, however it can accommodate two seats and car seat adaptors.Tandem buggies tend to be longer than side by side models, making them more difficult to maneuver up and down kerbs. However they can also accommodate a wider range of combinations of car seats, carrycots and seats and are a great option for twins and siblings of different age. They are also more expensive than single to double buggies however they’re worth the cost if you plan to keep it for a few years. They will also retain an impressive amount of value when sold once your children have outgrown the buggie.This feature allows you to put your child in an ideal position for naps and observation. This is important for children who are in the back seat and would like to nap while the more mature child prefers to sit up and observe the surroundings.Some brands feature an exclusive seat design that allows the back seat to completely recline into a nearly flat position which is perfect for newborns. For twin buggy has raised stadium-style seating that can recline both the toddler seat that comes with it and the additional RumbleSeat into various positions so that your children have a the option of deciding where they will sit, as well as providing an excellent UPF 50+ canopy with windows that peek out.More spacious than twin buggiesThey are great for siblings of different ages, and you can move around without having to worry about your children touching. They’re usually a bit longer with one seat positioned behind the other. The seats can be reclined fully for babies or placed 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 similar to a single stroller. It features an adjustable handle that makes it easier for parents to push, and a handbrake which is useful on steep hills. It can be used from birth and is compatible with a variety of car seats and carrycots. This means it’s a great travel system.Another option is the iCandy Wave, which has an easy one-click fold and can be used in mono or duo mode. The frame’s clever design can be expanded to accommodate a second chair and can be used up to two car seats or carrycots. This makes it an ideal option for older siblings who wish to sit together. It’s slightly bigger than the other models, but it still feels light and has soft suspension for the kerbs.There are many 3-wheeler tandems with inline wheels that offer stability and quick steering. Take a look at Phil and Teds inline models, or iCandy Peach and Pear buggies. They can be folded into one buggy if you are limited in space at home or you need to carry it from the car to the bus station.Be aware that a double-wide buggy is more heavy and bulkier than one compact buggy. Be sure you know what you want prior to making a purchase. You’ll need to take it on and off subways, buses, and trains often, so it should be easy to use and manage. You may also need to juggle it onto and off the car seat when you take your children to school or nursery so you’ll need to be aware it can be easily manoeuvred in small spaces.From birthYou’ll need a stroller for the whole family, whether you’re expecting twins or you have a second child after having your first. Double buggies tend to be a bit heavier, bulkier and cost more than single strollers, but they are also easier to manoeuvre through narrower doors or around obstacles like curbs. Many double buggies are compatible 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 in the front of the other, so they’re usually a better option if you have two kids that are close enough in age to function well. They’re not completely safe. Siblings seated side-by-side may punch or kick each other, and children of different heights may fight over who sits taller. This issue can be resolved by a tandem high-low design that elevates the seat in the back. Your child’s older one isn’t seated at the bottom of the car and won’t be able to get a look out.The iCandy Wave is a great choice for parents looking for an easy-to-use convertible double buggy that can accommodate a newborn in a carrycot and an older child in the main seat. It has an innovative frame that expands in width when you add the second child seat. It also folds flat for compact storage. The cushioned seats, straps and buckles are all of the best quality we have seen in any of our tests. The canopies are large in size, UPF 50+ protection, as well as a peekaboo window. Both seats can be reclined independently.The only downside of the iCandy is that it’s a bit 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 in the end. The iCandy doesn’t have the same seating arrangements as our other top selections. However, it’s a good option for families who don’t want to spend lots of money.
