You'll Be Unable To Guess Tandem Double Buggy's Secrets

Buying a Tandem Double Buggy

A tandem double buggy can be a great option if you have twins, or children who are very close in age. They are smaller than side by side buggies, and are perfect for tight spaces like doors, public transport and rocky terrain.

Some convert into travel systems to include two carrycots or car seats. However, they can be heavier and longer than single pushchairs, and may not be as stable when bumping up the kerbs.

Convertible

If you're looking for convertible stroller that can be converted from a single to a double or to add a second seat to an existing one, there are several options available. The UPPAbaby is a large, beautiful stroller. It can be easily changed from a single to a double by adding a Rumble seat. It is more expensive and less maneuverable since the second seat is placed behind the first seat. The Nuna Demi Grow is a similar model with great seating flexibility, however it lacks under-seat storage when used in doubles mode.

compact double buggy  include all-terrain twin buggies as well as fixed-wheel joggers that can hold two children. They are more expensive, however, they are designed for long-distance trips over rough terrain, and come with higher resale prices.

Independent recline of the seat

If you require a double buggy that can transport children of various ages, you'll require a model with an independent seat recline for both seats. This will allow your child's older to rest in the back while the baby sleeps in the bassinet, and vice versa.

Consider the width of your pushchair and consider how easy it is for you to navigate through doors and public transport. If your doors are narrow, you might be considering a side by side pushchair like the Mountain Buggy Duet. It has a footprint that is similar to a single stroller however it can accommodate two seats and car seat adaptors.

Tandem buggies are generally longer than side by side models, and therefore are more difficult to maneuver around and down kerbs. However they can also accommodate a wider range of combinations of car seats, carrycots and seats and can make an excellent choice for twins and siblings of different ages. They are also more expensive than single buggies to double, but they're worth it if you plan on keeping it for many years. They will also retain an impressive amount of value if you decide to sell it when your children are old enough to use it.

Another crucial thing to look for is whether the seat backs can recline independently of one another since this will allow you to put your child in the most optimal position for napping or observation. This is essential for children who are in the back seat and wants to nap while the more mature child prefers to sit and observe the surrounding.

Some brands have a unique design that allows the back seat of their vehicles to recline fully into a position that is almost flat, ideal for newborns. For instance, the iCandy Orange has raised stadium-style seating and can recline both the toddler seat that comes with it as well as the optional RumbleSeat to multiple positions, to give your kids a the option of where they want they will sit, as well as offering an excellent UPF 50+ canopy that has windows that peek out.

More spacious than twin buggies

There's no need to have twins in order to benefit from a wider double buggy. They're great for siblings of different ages and allow you to go about your day without worrying about your children touching. They're usually a bit larger too, with one seat sitting behind the other, and typically providing a flat recline for babies (or an upright position for toddlers).

A popular option is the Mountain Buggy Duet, which features the slimmest side-by-side design available and has the same footprint as a single buggy. It also has an adjustable handle, making it easier for parents of various heights to push, and an adjustable handbrake, which is helpful when climbing difficult hills. It can be used from birth and is compatible with a range of car seats and carrycots, which means it makes an excellent travel system.

Another alternative is the iCandy Wave, which has a simple one-click to fold and can be used in duo or mono mode. The frame's clever design expands in width to accommodate the second chair and can be used up to two car seats or carrycots. This makes it a great option for older siblings who would like to sit together. It's slightly longer than some other models, yet it's light to steer and comes with soft suspension to tackle kerbs.

There are plenty of 3-wheeler tandems with inline wheels that provide stability and fast steering. Check out Phil and Teds inline models or iCandy Peach and Pear buggies. They are often folded down to size a single buggy, which is helpful when you have trouble storing it at home or frequently need to lug it in and out of the 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 Make sure that it's what you require before you buy. It is likely to be used on buses, trains and subways often, so it must be easy to manage and use. You might need to manage the car seat on and off when taking your child to school or to nursery.

From birth

There will be a need for a pushchair for the whole family, whether you're expecting twins, or you have a second child after having your first. Double buggies are generally larger, heavier and more expensive than single strollers, but they can also be easier to manoeuvre in narrower doorways or around obstacles like curbs. Many are also compatible with piggyback ride-along boards (either from the manufacturer or as an accessory purchase) which means you can carry three children at the same time.

Tandem pushchairs place one child ahead of the other. They're a good option if your children are close in age and are good friends. They're not 100% secure. Siblings seated side-by-side may punch or kick each other and children of different heights can fight over who sits taller. This issue can be resolved by a tandem high-low model that elevates the seat at the back. Your older child isn't seated at the lower part of the car, and won't get much of an opportunity to see.

The iCandy Wave is a good choice for parents looking for a convertible double buggy with a carrycot that can fit both the newborn and the older child. It features an innovative frame that expands in width when you add the second child seat. It also folds flat to make it a compact storage. The cushioned seats are comfortable, the straps are easy to fasten, and the buckles some of the most impressive we've seen in any of our tests. Both seats can recline independently, and the canopies are spacious and large with UPF 50+ protection as well as peekaboo windows.

The only drawback to the iCandy tandem is that it is a bit expensive. However, a good tandem will last for a long time and will have a high resale price, so in the end you'll likely recover a portion of the cost. It doesn't have the same range of seating options as the other top picks however the iCandy is a good option for families that don't want to spend a lot.
