Where Can You Find The Best Tandem Double Buggy Information
Buying a Tandem Double Buggy
If you have twins or children similar in age, a tandem double stroller with car seat buggy is a great option. They're smaller than side-by-side buggies and are ideal for maneuvering narrow spaces like doorways, on public transport and rocky terrain.
Some can be converted to travel systems that use 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 converting a single stroller to double. The UPPAbaby V2 is large, beautiful stroller. It can easily be changed from a single And double stroller to a lightweight double stroller by adding the rumble seat. It is more expensive and less maneuverable because the second seat is placed behind the first seat. The Nuna Demi Grow is a similar option with great seating flexibility, however it isn't equipped with storage under the seat when used in doubles mode.
Other alternatives include all-terrain twin buggies and fixed-wheel joggers that can hold two children. They are more expensive, however, they are designed for long trips on rough terrain and have higher resale prices.
Reclining the seat independently
If you're looking for a double buggy newborn buggy to carry children of different age groups, then you'll want one that has recline independent for both seats. This will allow your child's older to sit back and relax while the baby is in the bassinet, and vice versa.
You'll also have to consider the width of the pushchair, as this will affect the ease of get through doors and on public transport. If you have narrow doors, it may be a good idea to consider a side-byside pushchair like the Mountain Buggy Duet which has the advantage of having a footprint comparable to a single buggy but can still use two seats and car seat adaptors.
Tandem buggies are typically larger 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, carrycots and seats and are the perfect choice for twins and siblings of different age groups. They can also be more expensive than single-to-double buggies, but are worth the purchase if you plan to keep it for a long time and have a good amount of resale value if you decide to sell it off after your children have grown out of it.
This feature will allow you to put your child in an ideal position for naps or to observe. This is especially important when you have a child younger than in the rear seat who will be inclined to lie down and relax while the older child wants to sit up and look around their surroundings.
Some brands feature a unique design for their seats that allows the back seat to completely recline into an almost flat position, which is ideal for newborns. The iCandy Orange, for example has a stadium-style seating option that can be reclined in multiple positions. It also has UPF 50+ sun protection and windows that peek out.
More spacious than twin buggies
You don't need to have twins in order to benefit from a larger double buggy - they're ideal for siblings of various age groups and let you get around without having to worry about your children touching each other. They're typically a little larger with one seat positioned behind the other and offering a fully-flat recline for babies (or an upright position for toddlers).
Mountain Buggy Duet is a popular option. It has the slimmest design of the two-in-ones on the market, and a footprint that is like a single stroller. It also comes with an adjustable handle, which makes it easier for parents of various heights to push as well as an adjustable handbrake, which is useful when tackling difficult hills. It is suitable for use from birth, and can be used with a range of car seats and carrycots.
Another option is the iCandy Wave, which has a simple one-click to fold and is able to be utilized in a duo or mono mode. Its innovative frame can be expanded widthwise to accommodate a second chair and can be used with two carrycots or car seats making it a great option for older siblings who want to sit and stand double stroller in a group and share the view. It's a bit longer than other models, yet it's light to steer and comes with soft suspension that is able to handle the kerbs.
There are many 3-wheeler tandems with inline tires that offer stability and swift steering. Check out 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 transport it from the car to the bus station.
It's important to remember that a double pram pushchair-buggy with a wider width will feel heavier and bulkier than a smaller single buggy So make sure it's what you need before you purchase. You'll have to get it on and off subways, trains and buses regularly so it needs to be easy to use and manage. You may need to juggle the car seat when you take your child to school or nursery.
From birth, you are a good candidate
If you're expecting twins, or have another child after your first, you're going to need to find a pushchair that fits the whole family. Double buggies are typically slightly heavier, bulkier and cost more than single strollers, however they can also be easier to manoeuvre through narrower doors or around obstacles like curbs. Many are also compatible with piggyback ride-along boards (either from the manufacturer or as an additional accessory purchase) so you can transport three children at once.
Tandem pushchairs put one child in front the other. They are a good option if your children are similar in age and are good friends. They're not foolproof. Siblings who are sitting side-by-side could punch or kick each other, and children of different heights may fight over who sits higher. This issue can be resolved by a tandem high-low model that raises the seat to the rear. Your child's older one will not be sitting at the lowest part of the car and won't be able to get an opportunity to see.
The iCandy Wave is a great alternative for parents who want an easy-to-use double buggy that converts to fit a newborn into a carrycot, and an older child in the main seat. It has an intelligent frame that increases in size when you add the second child seat. It folds flat for compact storage. The cushioned straps, buckles, and seats are all of the highest quality we have encountered in our tests. The seats can be reclined independently and the canopy is big and spacious with UPF 50+ protection as well as peekaboo windows.
The only downside of the iCandy is that it's expensive, but a quality tandem will last a long time and retain its resale value. So you'll probably get back some of the cost in the end. It doesn't come with the same range of seating options as others of our top choices however, the iCandy is a good choice for families that don't want to spend a fortune.
