Buying a Tandem Double Buggy

If you have twins or children very close in age, a tandem double buggy for Twins buggy is a great choice. They are narrower than side by side buggies and are great for small spaces such as doors, public transport, and terrain that is rocky.

Some can be converted to travel systems that can take two carrycots or car seats for children. However, they can be heavier and longer than single pushchairs and might feel less stable when as they bump up the kerbs.

Convertible

Whether you're looking for a 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 Vista V2 from UPPAbaby is a spacious, gorgeous stroller that easily converts from a single to double by incorporating the rumble seat (available separately). It is more expensive and less maneuverable since the second seat is positioned in front of the first seat. The Nuna Demi Grow is a similar option with a wide range of seating options, but lacks under-seat storage when used in doubles mode.

Other options include twin buggies with all-terrain wheels and joggers with fixed wheels that can be used to carry two children. They are generally more expensive, however they're designed for long-distance trips over rough terrain and can have more resale value.

Reclining the seat independently

If you need a double buggy that is able to transport children of different ages, you'll need a buggy that has an independent seat recline for both seats. This allows your child of a higher age to rest in the back while the baby sleeps in the bassinet, and vice versa.

Take into consideration the size of your pushchair to determine how easy it is for you to get through doors and public transport. If your doorways are very narrow, you may want to consider a side by side pushchair twin such as the Mountain Buggy Duet. It has a footprint similar to a single stroller, but can still accommodate two seats and car seat adaptors.

Tandem buggies generally are a little longer than side-by-side models and so aren't as easy to manoeuvre up and down kerbs, however, they can accommodate a wider range of car/car/seat combinations, and are a great option for twins or siblings of different age. They are more expensive than single buggies to double however they're worth it if you intend to keep it for a number of years. They will also retain some value if you decide to sell it when your children have outgrown the buggie.

This feature allows you to place your child in a comfortable position for naps and observation. This is crucial for children who are in the back seat and would like 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 fully recline into a position that's nearly flat, which is ideal for infants. For instance the iCandy Orange has raised stadium-style seating and can recline the toddler seat that comes with it and the additional RumbleSeat into multiple positions so your kids can have a choice of where to sit, and also comes with an excellent UPF 50+ canopy with windows that can be seen from afar.

Wider than twin buggies

It's not necessary to have twins in order to benefit from a wider double buggy. They're perfect for siblings of different 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 positioned behind the other and offering a fully-flat recline for infants (or a more upright position for toddlers).

A popular choice is the Mountain Buggy Duet, which has the slimmest side-byside design available and features a footprint similar to a single buggy. It also comes with an adjustable handle, which makes it easier for parents of various heights to push and a handbrake, which is useful when tackling difficult terrains. It can be used from birth and is compatible with a variety of car seats and carrycots, which means it's a great travel system.

Another alternative is the iCandy Wave, which has the convenience of a single click to fold and is able to be used in duo or mono mode. Its innovative frame can be expanded to allow for a second seat and it can be used with two car seats or http://www.fujidenwa.com/mt/mt4i.cgi?mode=redirect&ref_eid=9&url=https%3A%2F%2Falicetarot.paul-it.com%2Fboard%2Fbbs%2Fboard.php%3Fbo_table%3Dreview%26wr_id%3D280217 carrycots making it a great option for older siblings that want to sit in a group and enjoy the view. It's a bit larger than other models, but it still feels light and has soft suspension for kerbs.

There are also plenty of 3-wheeler inline tandems available such as Phil and Teds inline models or iCandy's Peach and Pear buggies, for instance they provide stability and swift steering. These can often be folded into one buggy if you have limited space at home or need to transport it from your car to the bus.

It's worth bearing in mind that a double-buggy with a wider width will be heavier and bulkier than a single buggy that is smaller So make sure it's what you require before you purchase. It will be used on trains, buses and subways often, so it must be easy to manage and use. You might also have to move it on and off the car seat when taking your children to nursery or Kizkiuz.com/user/RomanBriggs27/ school so you'll need to ensure it is able to be maneuvered in small spaces.

From birth

If you're expecting twins, or have a second child after your first, you're likely need to find an appropriate pushchair for the whole family. Double buggies are generally heavier and bulkier, as well as more expensive than single strollers. However they are also more maneuverable in 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 allows you to carry three children simultaneously.

Tandem pushchairs place one child in front the other. They are a good option for children who are close in age and are able to get along. But they're not foolproof Side-by-side chairs can kick or punch one another, and children on different heights can squabble over who gets to sit higher. This issue can be addressed by a tandem high-low design that elevates the seat in the back. Your older child will not be seated on the lowest part of the car and won't have much of an opportunity to see.

The iCandy Wave is a good alternative for parents looking for an adjustable double buggy that can be converted into a carrycot that is able to accommodate both infants and an older child. It has an innovative frame that increases in size when you add the second child seat. It can also fold flat for storage that is compact. The cushioned seats are comfortable, the straps are simple to fasten, and the buckles some of the best we've seen on any of our tests. The canopies are large in size with UPF 50+ protection, as well as a peekaboo window. Both seats can be reclined independently.

The only downside to the iCandy tandem is that it's a bit expensive. But a high-quality tandem will last you for years and retain a high resale price, so in the end you'll probably recoup some of the cost. It also doesn't offer the same range of seating options as some of our other top choices, but the iCandy is a great choice for families that don't want to shell out a lot of money.
