10 Places That You Can Find Tandem Double Buggy

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 narrower than side by side buggies, and are great for small spaces such as doorways, public transport and terrain that is rocky.

Some can be converted into travel systems that take two carrycots or child car seats. However, they can be heavier and longer than single pushchairs, and may feel less stable in bumping 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's many options to choose from. The UPPAbaby is a spacious, gorgeous stroller. It is easily converted from a single to a dual by adding a Rumble seat. It is more expensive and less maneuverable because the second seat is placed in front of the first seat. Nuna Demi Grow offers a similar option but lacks storage underneath the seat when it's used as a double stroller.

double infant stroller Pushchairs And Prams UK  include twin buggies with all-terrain wheels, and joggers with fixed wheels that can be used to carry two children. These are more expensive, but they are designed for long-distance trips over rough terrain, and come with a higher resale price.

Reclining the seat independently

If you want a double stroller which can accommodate children of various ages, you will need one with a recliner that is independent for both seats. This will allow your older child to be able to relax while your baby is in a bassinet, and the reverse is true.

Think about the width of your pushchair and consider how easy it is for you to navigate through doors and on public transportation. If your doors are narrow, you may think about a side by side pushchair like the Mountain Buggy Duet. It has a footprint similar to a single stroller, but it can accommodate two seats and car seat adaptors.

Tandem buggies are typically longer than side by side models, making them more difficult to maneuver around and down kerbs. However, they can accommodate more combinations of car seats, carrycots and seats and can make the perfect choice for twins and siblings of various age groups. They are also more expensive than single to double buggies, but they're worth the cost if you plan to keep it for a few years. They will also retain a good amount of value when sold once your kids have outgrown the buggie.

This feature allows you to put your child in the most comfortable position for naps and observation. This is essential if your child is in the back seat and wishes to take a nap while the older child prefers to sit and observe the surrounding.

Certain brands come with an exclusive seat design that allows the back seat to fully recline into a nearly flat position, which is ideal for newborns. The iCandy Orange, for example is a stadium-style seat that can be reclined in various positions. It also has UPF 50+ canopy and windows that peek out.

More spacious than twin buggies

There's no need to have twins to benefit from a larger double buggy. They're perfect for siblings of different ages and allow you to move around without worrying about your children touching each other. They're usually a bit longer too with one seat positioned behind the other and with a fully-flat recline option for newborns (or a more upright position for toddlers).

Mountain Buggy Duet is a popular option. It has the slimmest design of the two-in-ones on the market and a footprint similar to the footprint of a single stroller. It comes with an adjustable handle that makes it easier for parents to push, and a handbrake that is helpful on steep hills. It can be used from birth and is compatible with a variety of car seats and carrycots, meaning it is a great travel system.

The iCandy Wave is another option. It can be folded in duo or mono mode with just one click. Its clever frame expands widthways to allow for a second seat and can be used with up to two carrycots or car seats so it's an excellent choice for older siblings who want to sit in a group and enjoy the view. It's a bit bigger than the other models, but it still feels light and has a comfortable suspension for the kerbs.

There are many 3-wheeler tandems that have inline wheels that provide stability and fast steering. Take a look at Phil and Teds inline models, or iCandy Peach and Pear buggies. These can often be folded into a single buggy in case you have a small space at home or you need to transport it from the car to the bus stop.

It's worth bearing in mind that a large double buggy will feel bulkier and heavier than a compact single buggy So make sure it's what you require before you buy. You'll need to take it off and on subways, trains and buses regularly so it needs to be easy to operate and manage. You might also have to move it on and off the car seat while taking your children to school or nursery so you'll need to ensure it can be easily manoeuvred in tight spaces.

The best time to start is when you are born.

You'll need a stroller for the whole family, whether you're expecting twins or you have a second child after you've had your first. Double buggies tend to be slightly heavier, bulkier and more expensive than single strollers, but they can also be easier to manoeuvre through narrower doors or around obstacles like curbs. Many double buggies are compatible with piggyback boards (available from the manufacturer or as an add-on). This lets you transport three children at once.

Tandem pushchairs place one child ahead of the other. They're a great choice if your children are of similar ages and get along well. However, they're not 100% secure: Siblings in side-by-side seats could kick or punch one another, and children with different heights may argue over who should sit higher. A tandem high-low model can solve this issue by elevating the seat to the rear, which will prevent your child's older one from being on the bottom and not having the best view.

The iCandy Wave is a great choice for parents looking for an easy-to-use double buggy that converts to fit a newborn into a carrycot, and an older child in the main seat. It has a clever frame which can be expanded in size when you add a 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 our testing. Both seats can recline independently and the canopy is large and generous with UPF 50+ protection as well as windows that can be seen from a distance.

The only drawback to the iCandy is that it's a little on the expensive side, but a quality tandem will last for a long time and will retain its resale value, so you'll likely recoup some of the cost in the long run. It also doesn't offer the same variety of seating configurations that some of our other top picks, but the iCandy is a great choice for families that don't want to shell out a lot of money.
