Buying a Tandem Double Buggy If you have twins or children close in age, a tandem double buggie is a great choice. They're narrower than side-by-side buggies, and ideal for maneuvering tight spaces, such as doorways, on public transport and on rough terrain. Many also transform into travel systems that take 2 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 convertible stroller that converts from single to double or to add an additional seat to an existing one, there's several options available. The Vista V2 from UPPAbaby is a spacious, gorgeous stroller that converts easily from a single to double by incorporating the rumble seat (available separately). It is more expensive and less maneuverable due to the fact that the second seat is placed in front of the first seat. The Nuna Demi Grow is a comparable model with great seating versatility but lacks under-seat storage when used in doubles mode. Other alternatives include twin buggies with all-terrain wheels and joggers with fixed wheels that can accommodate two kids. These tend to be more expensive but they're designed to last longer on rough terrain and could have a higher resale value. Reclining the seat independently If you are looking for a double stroller that will accommodate children of various age groups, you'll require one with an independent recliner for both seats. This will allow your older child to relax while the baby is sleeping in a bassinet and the reverse is true. You'll also have to consider the width of the stroller as this will affect how easy it is to get through doors and on public transport. If you have extremely narrow doors, it could be worthwhile to consider a side-by-side pushchair, such as the Mountain Buggy Duet which has the advantage of having a footprint that is similar to a single buggy however it can accommodate two seats and car seat adaptors. Tandem buggies are usually a little longer than side-by-side models, and aren't as easy to manoeuvre through kerbs and up and down, however, they can accommodate a wider range of car/car/seat combinations, so can be a good option for twins or siblings of various age. They are also more expensive than single-to-double buggies however they're worth it if you plan on keeping it for many years. They'll also keep some value when sold once your children have outgrown it. Another important feature to look out for is if the seat backs are able to recline independently from one another because this allows you to place your child in the most optimal position for napping or observation. This is particularly important if you have a child younger than in the rear seat, who will prefer to lay back and relax while the older child wants to sit up and observe their surroundings. Certain brands come with a unique design for their seats that allows the back seat to fully recline to an almost flat position which is perfect for infants. The iCandy Orange, for example is a stadium-style seat that can be reclined in several positions. It also offers a UPF 50+ canopy and windows that peek out. Larger than twin buggies It's not necessary to have twins in order to benefit from a larger double buggy. They're perfect for siblings of different ages and allow you to get around without having to worry about your children touching each other. They are usually a little more spacious with one seat positioned behind the other. The seats can be reclined completely for infants, or put in an upright position for toddlers. Mountain Buggy Duet is a popular choice. It has the slimmest design side-by-side on the market and a footprint that is comparable to a single stroller. It also comes with an adjustable handle, which makes it easier for parents of different heights to push, and a handbrake, which is useful when tackling difficult hills. It can be used from birth and is compatible with a range of car seats and carrycots, which means it is a great travel system. Another alternative is the iCandy Wave, which has a simple one-click to fold and is able to be used in duo or mono mode. The frame's clever design expands widthways to accommodate a second chair and can be used with up to two carrycots or car seats making it a great choice for older siblings who want to sit in a group and share the view. It's a little longer than other models, yet it's easy to steer and has soft suspension to tackle the kerbs. There are also a variety of 3-wheeler tandems inline available – check out Phil and Teds inline models, or iCandy's Peach and Pear buggies, for instance they offer stability and swift steering. Most of them can be folded into the size of one buggie which is useful if you struggle with storage at home or frequently need to transport it into and out of the car when using public transport. It's important to keep in mind that a wide double buggy will feel heavier and bulkier than a compact single buggy Make sure that it's what you require before you purchase. It is likely to be used on trains, buses and subways frequently, therefore it must be simple to manage and use. twin stroller might need to manage the car seat on and off while taking your child to school or to nursery. From birth You'll need a stroller for the whole family, whether you're expecting twins, or if you have a child after you've had your first. Double buggies are generally larger, heavier and more expensive than single strollers. However, they are also more maneuverable through narrower doors or around obstacles such as curbs. Many double buggies are compatible with piggyback boards (available from the manufacturer or as an add-on). This allows you to transport three children at the same time. Tandem pushchairs place one child in front of the other. They're a good choice if your children are of similar ages and get along well. But they're not completely safe Side-by-side chairs can kick or punch each other, and kids who are different heights can argue over who gets to sit higher. This issue can be resolved by a tandem high-low model that elevates the seat at the rear. Your child's older will not be seated on the lower part of the car, and won't have much of an eye. The iCandy Wave is a great alternative for parents who want an easy-to-use convertible double buggy that can fit both a newborn in a carrycot as well as an older child in the main seat. It features an innovative frame that expands in width when you add the second child seat. It can also fold flat to make it a compact storage. The cushioned seats are comfortable, the straps are easy to secure and the buckles some of the most impressive we've seen in any of our tests. pushchair twin are large in size with UPF 50+ protection, and the window is peekaboo. Both seats can be reclined independently. The only drawback to the iCandy tandem is that it's quite expensive. However, a good tandem will last you for years and retain an attractive resale value so at the end of the day, you'll likely recoup some of the cost. It doesn't have the same variety of seating configurations that some of our other top choices however, the iCandy is a great choice for families who don't want to spend a fortune.
