10 Life Lessons That We Can Learn From Tandem Double Buggy
Buying a Tandem Double Buggy

A tandem double buggy can be a great choice for twins or children who are close in age. They're smaller than side-by-side buggies and ideal for navigating tight spaces, such as doorways, on public transport and rocky terrain.

Many also transform into travel systems that include two carrycots or car seats. However, they are heavier and longer than single pushchairs, and might feel less stable when bumping up kerbs.

Convertible

If you're looking for a convertible single-to-double stroller or want to add an additional seat to an existing one, there are several options available. The Vista V2 from UPPAbaby is big, beautiful stroller that easily converts from a single stroller to double by incorporating the rumble seat (available separately). It is more expensive and less maneuverable because the second seat is placed on top of the first seat. The Nuna Demi Grow is a similar model with a wide range of seating options, but lacks under-seat storage when used in doubles mode.

Other options include all-terrain twin buggies, as well as fixed-wheel joggers that can accommodate two children. They are more expensive, but they are designed for long-distance trips over rough terrain and have higher resale prices.

Independent seat recline

If you require a double buggy to carry children of different age groups, then you'll want one that has independent seat recline for both seats. This allows your older child to relax while the baby is sleeping in a bassinet, and vice versa.

You'll also need to consider the width of the stroller as this will impact the ease of traverse doors and public transport. If you have very narrow doors, it may be worthwhile to consider a side-by-side pushchair like the Mountain Buggy Duet which has the benefit of having a footprint similar to a single buggy, but can still use two seats and car seat adaptors.

Tandem buggies are generally slightly longer than side-by-side models, and aren't as easy to manoeuvre around kerbs however they can be able to accommodate a wider variety of car seat/car seat combinations, so can be a good option for twins or siblings of various ages. They can also be more expensive than single-to-double buggies, but are a worthwhile purchase if you plan to keep it for years and will have a decent amount of resale value in the event that you decide to sell it after your children have grown out of it.

Another thing to look out for is if the seat backs are able to recline independently of one another since this will allow you to put your child in the most optimal position for naps or watching. This is important for children who are in the back seat and would like to rest while the child in the front prefers to sit and observe the surroundings.

A few brands have a unique seat design which allows the back seat to fully recline into a nearly flat position which is perfect for infants. For example, the iCandy Orange has raised stadium-style seating and can recline the toddler seat that comes with it as well as the optional RumbleSeat into multiple positions to give your kids a a choice of where to sit as well as offering an excellent UPF 50+ canopy that has peekaboo windows.

Larger 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 various ages and allow you to get around without worrying about your children touching each other. They're usually a bit larger too with one seat positioned behind the other and providing a flat recline for babies (or an upright position for toddlers).

Mountain Buggy Duet is a popular choice. It is the slimmest design of the two-in-ones on the market, and a footprint comparable to a single stroller. It also features an adjustable handle, which makes it easier for parents of different heights to push as well as an adjustable handbrake, which is useful when tackling difficult hills. It is suitable for use right from birth, and can be used with a wide range of car seats and carrycots.

Another option is the iCandy Wave, which has an easy one-click fold and can be used in duo or mono mode. The frame's clever design expands in width to accommodate a second chair and can be used to accommodate up to two car seats or carrycots. This makes it an ideal option for older siblings who would like to be seated together. It's a little larger than other models, but it feels light and has soft suspension for curbs.

There are also plenty of 3-wheeler inline tandems that are available Check out Phil and Teds' inline models or iCandy's Peach and Pear buggies for instance - which offer stability and swift steering. They are often folded into a single buggy in case you have a small space at home or you need to carry it from the car to the bus.

It's important to remember that a wide double buggy will be heavier and bulkier than a smaller single buggy, so make sure it's what you need before purchasing. You'll need to take it off and on subways, trains and buses regularly so it needs to be easy to use and manage. It is possible that you will need to move the car seat on and off when you take your child to school or to nursery.


pushchair twin to start is when you are born.

If you're expecting twins, or have another child after your first, you're likely to require a stroller that can accommodate the entire family. Double buggies tend to be heavier and bulkier as well as more expensive than single strollers. However they are much easier to maneuver in tighter doors, or around obstacles like curbs. Many are also compatible with piggyback ride-along boards (either from the manufacturer or through an accessory purchase) so you can transport three children at the same time.

Tandem pushchairs put one child in front of the other. They're a great choice if your children are close in age and are able to get along. But they're not completely safe Siblings in a side-by-side seat could kick or punch each other, and kids on different heights can squabble over who gets to sit higher. This issue can be resolved by a tandem high-low model that raises the seat at the back. Your older child will not be seated on the lowest part of the car and won't get much of a look out.

The iCandy Wave is a great option for parents looking for an easy-to-use double buggy that converts to fit both a newborn in a carrycot as well as an older child in the main seat. It has an innovative frame that increases in size when you add the second child seat. It also folds flat for storage that is compact. The cushioned seats are comfortable, the straps are simple to fasten and the buckles are among the most comfortable we've seen on any of our tests. The canopies are large in size with UPF 50+ protection, as well as a windows that peek out. Both seats are reclined independently.

The only downside of the iCandy is that it's a bit expensive however, a good tandem will last for years and retain its resale value, so you'll probably recoup some of the cost in the long run. It doesn't have the same variety of seating options as some of our other top picks, but the iCandy is a good choice for families that don't want to spend a fortune.
