15 Gifts For The Double Tandem Pushchair Lover In Your Life

Which Double Tandem Pushchair is Best For Your Family?

If you're preparing for twins or another child, there are plenty of products available to help make life with children on the move easier. The double tandem pushchair is a prime example of them.

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

Stability

If you have twins or children of similar age, a double Buggy with car seat tandem pushchair makes travelling with two of them much more enjoyable and comfortable. There are so many designs and configurations available it can be difficult to determine which one is suitable for your family. Some are better suited for running, while others are able to accommodate a third passenger by adding buggyboards. Which ones are the most stable though?

Side-by-side pushchairs (like the CYBEX Gazelle S) are ideal for transporting children who are the same age. However, they can be tricky to maneuver around narrow doorways and aisles for shopping. In this situation you might be better off with a stadium model like the Bugaboo Donkey, or Mountain Buggy Duet. These models allow your children to either face you or another according to their configuration.

Tandem models that can seat one behind the other are more manageable than side-by-side pushchairs, but they are still not as stable as single strollers or car seats. They aren't easy to push up curbs, and they could have less storage space than a side by side pushchair.

It is recommended to test the double with both seats seated, since that's how you'll be using it the most. Examine the ease with which it is for you to steer and navigate the vehicle, particularly in tight corners or with the front wheels that swivel. It is recommended to test the brakes too as they can be difficult to operate if both child seats are in use.

If you're looking for a high-quality, affordable double seat stroller stroller that does everything, look no further than the Phil and Teds Sport Double.

Its air-filled tires as well as all-wheel suspension allow it to tackle different 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's a double stroller that is suitable for any family, regardless of whether you have twins, a toddler or a newborn. Generally, they can transport both children side by side but some can be converted into single pushchairs (although this usually involves removing one seat). Most are wider than a single stroller, but they offer great value and versatility.

In our recent double stroller reviews, we asked our testers to give their opinions on a variety of factors, including the comfort of riding, handling and how well the stroller folded. They also noted the ease of it to take the car seat in and out, and whether it could be used in conjunction with a baby carrier.

The Stroller & Co City Tour 2 double car seat stroller is a fantastic example of a comfortable, flexible and light dual stroller. The reviewers who reviewed it praised its large UPF 50+ canopy, which provides real shade and the ability to peek at. Both seats can be reclined into multiple positions by pressing a button. One seat can even be set to lie flat, meaning a newborn can sleep comfortably in the carrycot attached above it.

The reversible seat lining with bamboo which naturally antibacterial, on one side and soft Jersey on the other side is an great feature. The ability to be folded in just one hand is an excellent feature, particularly when you're responsible for two small children.

They are more expensive, but they can provide greater flexibility because they can fit through narrow doors and aisles. They can be a burden to push and can be difficult to move up kerbs however, most have a front-loaded loader which helps keep the load in balance.

Flexibility

Whether you're looking to keep your twins in close proximity or have a newborn and a toddler, a double tandem pushchair can be an invaluable addition to your family. This can keep your children content by keeping them from fighting or waking each other up.

Some models are ultra flexible that allow you to switch back to single mode as soon as your child is old enough to use a stroller. This allows you to not have to buy a new stroller. The UPPAbaby Vista V2 Double, for instance it can fit two infant car seats and a riding board at the back which makes it suitable for three children. It can be utilized with a stroller seat and a rolling suitcase for the parents and children, allowing you to travel light but still having everything your family requires.

The Joovy Caboose Ultralight Graphite double stroller is a different design than the competition but offers many of the same features as our top choices. It folds easily and fits through most doorways. The basket underneath the carriage is also higher, making it easier to load groceries. Its rear seat is also covered to keep your youngster warm in winter.

A side-by-side pushchair double is larger than a tandem, which makes it difficult to navigate walkways or narrow aisles in shops. It is also easier to maneuver on rocky terrain than a standard double pushchair. Some of these pushchairs can be difficult to steer, particularly when your child is larger.

A double pushchair that is inline, on the other hand is a better choice for families with multiple children. It can be used as a twin stroller pram when your children are younger but it is also able to be converted to a tandem when they're older. Some of these models, like the iCandy Peach 3+, can accept two i-Size car seats, giving you ultimate flexibility and price-for-value.

Storage

The biggest disadvantage of a double-buggy can be that it takes up more space on public transport and is harder to maneuver through narrow doors or lifts. They also cost more especially side-by-side models that have a second seat in the front.
