Ten Tandem Double Buggys That Really Improve Your Life

Buying a Tandem Double Buggy

If you have twins or children very similar in age, a tandem double buggy is a great option. They are a bit smaller than side-by-side buggies and are ideal for narrow spaces like doorways, public transport and terrain that is rocky.

Some are able to be converted into travel systems that take two carrycots or car seats for children. They can be heavier, longer and less stable than a single pushchair.

Convertible

There are a variety of options for adding a second seating or changing a single stroller into double. The UPPAbaby is a large, beautiful stroller. It can be easily transformed from a single stroller to a dual by adding the seating area with a rumble. It is more expensive and less maneuverable since the second seat is positioned behind the first seat. Nuna Demi Grow offers a similar option, but it lacks storage under the seat when used as a double stroller.

Other options include all-terrain lightweight twin stroller buggies as well as fixed-wheel joggers which can be used to accommodate two children. They are more expensive, however, they are designed to last longer on rough terrain and come with a higher resale price.

Reclining the seat independently

If you're looking for a double buggy that is able to transport children of different age groups, then you'll need a buggy that has an independent seat recline for both seats. This will allow your older child to relax while the baby is in a bassinet, and vice versa.

Think about the width of your stroller and consider how easy it is for you to get through doors and on public transportation. If you have extremely narrow doors, it may be a good idea to consider a side-byside pushchair like the Mountain Buggy Duet which has the benefit of having a footprint that is similar to a single buggy, however, it is able to accommodate two seats and car seat adaptors.

Tandem buggies are generally larger than side-by-side models, making them more difficult to maneuver up and down kerbs. However, they can accommodate more combinations of seats/carrycots/car seats and are the perfect choice for twins and siblings of various age. They can also be more expensive than single-to-double buggies, but are a good purchase if you plan to keep it for years and have a good amount of resale value should you sell it on after your children have grown out of it.

This feature allows you to put your child in the most comfortable position for naps or to observe. This is crucial when your child is in the back seat and wants to nap while the more mature child prefers to sit and observe the surroundings.

Certain brands have a distinctive design that allows the back seat of their vehicles to recline fully into a position that's nearly flat, which is ideal for infants. The iCandy Orange, for example is a stadium-style seat that can be reclined into various positions. It also comes with UPF 50+ sun protection and peekaboo windows.

Wider than twin buggies

It's not necessary to have twins to benefit from a bigger double buggy. They're perfect for siblings of different age groups. They allow you to move around without having to worry about your children touching. They're usually a bit larger with one seat positioned behind the other, and typically providing a flat recline for newborns (or a more upright position for toddlers).

Mountain Buggy Duet is a popular option. It is the slimmest design side-by-side on the market, and a footprint that is like the footprint of a single to double buggy (just click Minagricultura) stroller. It features an adjustable handle that makes it easier for parents to push, and a handbrake, which is useful on steep hills. It is suitable from birth and is compatible with a range of car seats and carrycots. This means it's a great travel system.

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

There are a lot of 3-wheeler inline tandems that are available such as Phil and Teds' inline models or iCandy's Peach and Pear buggies, for instance - which provide stability and swift steering. They are often folded down to size one buggy which is useful for those who struggle with storage at home or frequently need to lug it in and out of the car when using public transportation.

It's important to remember that a large double buggy will feel bulkier and heavier than a compact single buggy, so make sure it's what you need before you buy. It will be used on buses, trains and subways frequently, so it should be easy to use and manage. You might also have to juggle it onto and off the car seat while taking your children to nursery or school so you'll need to know it can be easily manoeuvred in small spaces.

From your birth, you are an ideal candidate

There will be a need for a pushchair for your entire family, whether you're expecting twins or you have another child after having your first. Double buggies are generally slightly heavier, bulkier and cost more than single strollers. However, they can also be easier to maneuver in narrower entrances or around obstacles such as curbs. Many double buggies can be used with piggyback boards (available from the manufacturer or as an add-on). This allows you to carry three children at the same time.

Tandem pushchairs place one child ahead of the other. They're a good option for children who are similar in age and are able to get along. They're not foolproof. Siblings who are sitting side-by-side could punch or kick one another and children of different heights could argue over who is sitting higher. This issue can be resolved by a tandem high-low design that elevates the seat to the back. Your older child will not be seated on the lower part of the car, and won't get much of a look out.

The iCandy Wave is a good alternative for parents looking for an adjustable double buggy that can be converted into a carrycot that can fit both infants and an older child. It has an innovative frame that increases in size when you add the second child seat. It also folds flat to make it a compact storage. The cushioned straps, buckles, and seats are all of the best quality we have seen in any of our tests. The canopies are large in size, UPF 50+ protection, and windows that peek out. Both seats can be reclined independently.

The only downside of the iCandy is that it's on the expensive side but a high-quality tandem will last for a long time and will retain its resale value, which means you'll probably get back some of the cost in the long run. The iCandy doesn't have the same seating options as our other top selections. However, it's an excellent choice for families that don't want spend lots of cash.
