The 10 Scariest Things About Double Tandem Pushchair

Which Double Tandem Pushchair is Best For Your Family?

When you're preparing for twins or a second child there are plenty of products to make your life with children on the move easier. One of them is the double tandem pushchair.

From Phil and Teds to Baby Jogger, most brands offer a double stroller in their product line. They are available as inline or side-by-side convertible models.

Stability

If you have twins, or children who are close in age, a double tandem pushchair makes traveling with two children much easier and more comfortable. There are numerous styles and configurations that it can be a challenge to pick the best one for your family. Some are better suited for jogging than others, or accommodate a third seat if you add a buggy board. Which ones are the most stable?

Side-by-side pushchairs (like the CYBEX Gazelle S) are great for transporting children who are the same age. However they can be difficult to maneuver around narrow entrances and aisles for shopping. In this situation it is best using a model that is stadium-style such as the Bugaboo Donkey or Mountain Buggy Duet, which allow children to be facing either you or the other based on the arrangement.

Tandem models that seat one behind the other are more manageable than side-by-side pushchairs, but they're not as stable as single strollers and car seats. They can also be tough to navigate around curbs and could have less storage space than a side-by-side pushchair.

To get a really good feel for the stability of doubles, you have to test it with both seats on since this is the way you will use it most often. Test the ease with which it is for you to maneuver and steer the vehicle, especially in tight turns or with the front wheels that rotate. You should also test the brakes, since they may be difficult to use when both child seats have been attached.

If you're looking for a top-quality double stroller at a reasonable price that does everything take a look at the Phil & Teds Sport Double. This sleek, compact pushchair can be transformed from a single to a tandem in just a few steps. The seat and carrycot both recline and can be used with the parent facing or facing each other and the air-filled tyres and all-wheel suspension make it ideal to tackle a variety of terrains. The seat comes with an excellent storage basket beneath the seat, but it is partially hidden by the second child's seat.

Comfort

There is a double stroller for every family, whether you have twins or a toddler newborn. Typically, they can carry both children side by side, however many can also transform into single pushchairs (although this will often involve taking off one seat). Most are wider than a single stroller, but they provide great value and flexibility.

In our recent double pram buggy stroll reviews, we asked our testers to give their opinions on a variety of things, including ride comfort, handling ease and how well the stroller folded. They also assessed the ease of putting in and taking out the car seat, as well as whether or not it could be used with a baby carrier.

The Stroller & Co City Tour 2 Double stroller is a fantastic example of an easy-going, comfortable and flexible double stroller. Our reviewers were impressed by the large UPF 50+ canopy, which provides shade and has an opening window for peekaboos, and the seats can recline to various positions with just the press of one button. One seat can even be made to lie flat so that a newborn can sleep comfortably in the carrycot that is attached to it.

The reversible seat lining made of bamboo, which is naturally antibacterial on one side, and soft Jersey on the other is an excellent feature. Our test subjects also appreciated the fact that it is able to fold it with one hand and that's a major benefit when you have two young children to keep an eye on.

Side-by-side models are typically more expensive than tandem buggies. However, they offer the most flexibility as they are usually designed to fit in narrow aisles and doors. They aren't easy to navigate up kerbs and heavy to push, but they do have a front-loaded load that helps to distribute the weight.

Flexibility

If you're looking to keep your twins together or have a baby and toddler, a double tandem pushchair can be a valuable addition to your family. It can keep your children content by keeping them from fighting or waking each other up. This kind of buggy is also ideal if you're planning to use it on public transportation, as it can be easier to fit into the space available.

Some models are ultra flexible and allow you to change back to single mode as soon as your child is old enough to use a stroller. This lets you avoid buying an entirely new stroller. The UPPAbaby Double can accommodate two infant car seats at the back as well as a ridingboard making it suitable for three kids. It can even be used with a stroller and a suitcase that can roll for the parents which allows you to travel light but still bringing everything your family requires.

The Joovy Caboose Ultralight Graphite double stroller is a different design than its counterparts, but it offers many of the same features we've outlined as our top choices. We love that it can be folded with hands and easily through doorways, and the basket under the carriage is higher to make it easier to store your shopping in. The rear seat is covered to keep your child warm in winter.

A tandem is more narrow than a side-byside, making it difficult to navigate narrow aisles in shops or on busy paths. However, it is more maneuverable on rocky terrain than a standard dual pushchair double. Some of these pushchairs can be difficult to steer in tight turns, particularly when your child is heavier in the front seat.

A double inline pushchair is a better choice for families with multiple children. It is typically used as a twin buggy from birth pram if your children are young, but can also convert into a tandem once they're older. Certain models, such as the iCandy Peach 3+ can accept two iSize car seat. This allows you to have the most flexibility and value.

Stores

The main drawback of double buggy is that it could take up more space on public transport and may be harder to maneuver through narrow doors and lifts. They also cost more, particularly side-by-side models with a second passenger in the front.

Certain models can be converted from single pushchairs to tandem models - such as the Joolz Geo and the Uppababy Vista V2. This is an affordable option if you are planning to have another baby in the near future. It also increases the lifespan of your buggy. It can be difficult to convert it back to a single seat when your older child grows out of it.
