10 Locations Where You Can Find Tandem Double Buggy

Buying a Tandem Double Buggy

A tandem double stroller for twins buggy could be a great option for twins or children who are very close in age. They are a bit smaller than side-by-side buggies and are great for narrow spaces like doors, public transport and rocky terrain.

Many also convert into travel systems that use two carrycots or car seats. However, they are heavier and longer than single pushchairs, and might feel less stable when as they bump up the kerbs.

Convertible

If 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 UPPAbaby is a large, beautiful stroller. It can be easily changed from a single to a double by adding an rumble seat. However, it's pricey and less mobile than other double strollers since the second seat goes in front of the front seat. The Nuna Demi Grow is a similar model with great seating versatility but does not have storage under the seat when used in doubles mode.

Other options include twin buggies that have all-terrain wheels, and joggers with fixed wheels that can accommodate two kids. They are more expensive, but they are designed for long-distance trips over rough terrain, and come with higher resale prices.

Independent seat recline

If you require a double buggy that is able to transport children of different ages then you're going to want one that has recline independent for both seats. This allows your child of a higher age to sit back and relax while the baby sleeps in the bassinet, and reverse.

You'll also have to think about the size of the stroller as this will impact the ease of get through doors and on public transportation. If your doors are narrow, you may want to consider a side-by-side pushchair like 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 larger than side-by-side models, and therefore are more difficult to maneuver up and down kerbs. However they can be able to accommodate more combinations of seats/carrycots/car seats and can make an excellent choice for twins and siblings of various ages. They can also be more expensive than single-to double travel stroller buggies, but are worth the investment if you plan to keep it for a long time and have a good amount of resale value in the event that you decide to sell it off when your children are out of it.

This feature will allow you to put your child in a comfortable position for naps or to observe. This is particularly important if you have a younger child in the rear seat, who will be inclined to lie down and take a snooze while the more mature child wants to sit up and look around their surroundings.

Some brands feature a unique seat design which allows the back seat to completely recline into a nearly flat position that is perfect for infants. The iCandy Orange, for example has a stadium-style seating option that can be reclined into several positions. It also offers a UPF 50+ canopy and windows that peek out.

Wider than twin buggies

It's not necessary to have twins to benefit from a larger double buggy. They're great for siblings of various ages and allow you to move around without having to worry about your children touching. They're typically a little longer too with one seat placed behind the other, and typically with a fully-flat recline option for babies (or a more upright position for toddlers).

Mountain Buggy Duet is a popular choice. It is the tiniest design side-by-side on the market and a footprint that is like the footprint of a single stroller. It comes with an adjustable handle that makes it easier for parents to push and a handbrake which is useful on steep hills. It is suitable to use from birth and can be used with a range of car seats and carrycots.

The iCandy Wave is another option. It folds in duo or mono mode in a single click. The clever frame expands in width to accommodate a second chair and can be used with up to two car seats or carrycots. This makes it an ideal option for older siblings who want to sit together. It's a bit longer than other models, yet it's light to steer and comes with soft suspension that can handle kerbs.

There are plenty of 3-wheeler tandems with inline wheels that offer stability and quick steering. Take a look at Phil and Teds inline models as well as iCandy Peach and Pear buggies. They are often folded into the size of a single buggy, which is helpful for those who struggle with storage at home or need to transport it into and out of your car when you travel on public transportation.

It's worth bearing in mind that a wide double buggy will feel heavier and bulkier than a single buggy that is smaller, so make sure you're getting what you need before you purchase. You'll need to take it off and on trains, buses and subways frequently, so it must be easy to use and manage. You may also have to move it on and off the car seat when taking your children to nursery or school so you'll need to ensure it can be easily manoeuvred in tight spaces.

The best travel double stroller time to start is when you are born.

If you're expecting twins or you have a child following your first, you're likely need to find a stroller that can accommodate the entire family. double strollers with one Hand fold buggies are generally slightly heavier, bulkier and more expensive than single strollers, but they can also be easier to maneuver in narrower doorways or around obstacles like curbs. They are also compatible with piggyback ride-along boards (either from the manufacturer or via an additional accessory purchase) to allow you to transport three children at a time.

Tandem pushchairs seat one child in front of the other, so they're usually a better option when you have two children that are close enough in age to be able to live well. They're not 100% secure. Siblings who are sitting side-by-side could punch or kick each other, and children of different heights could argue over who sits higher. A tandem high-low model can solve this problem by elevating the seat towards the rear, which prevents your child's height from being on the bottom and not getting much of a view.

The iCandy Wave is a good choice for parents looking for a convertible double buggy with a carrycot that is able to accommodate both infants and an older child. It features a smart frame that expands widthways when you add a second seat, and folds to flattish storage. The cushioned straps, buckles, and seats are all of the highest quality we have encountered in our testing. The seats can be reclined independently and the canopies are large and generous with UPF 50+ protection and windows that can be seen from a distance.

The only downside to the iCandy tandem is that it is a bit expensive. However, a good tandem will last you for many years and have an attractive resale value so in the end you'll probably recoup a portion of the cost. The iCandy doesn't have the same seating options as our other top choices. However, it's a good option for families that don't want spend much cash.
