Buying a Tandem Double Buggy If you have twins or children similar in age, a tandem double buggie is a great option. They are smaller than side by side buggies, and are perfect for narrow spaces like doorways, public transport and terrain that is rocky. Some convert into travel systems that take 2 carrycots or car seats. They are often heavier, longer and less stable than a single pushchair. Convertible If 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 UPPAbaby V2 is spacious, gorgeous stroller. It can easily be converted from a single to a dual by adding an seating area with a rumble. However, it's expensive and less maneuverable than other dual strollers because the 2nd seat is located to the left of the front seat. Nuna Demi Grow offers a similar option however, it doesn't have storage underneath the seat when it is used as a double stroller. 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 more resale value. Independent seat recline If you are looking for a double stroller that can accommodate children of various ages, you will need one with independent seat recliner for both seats. This allows your child of a higher age to be able to relax while your baby is in a bassinet and vice versa. You'll also have to think about the size of the stroller as this will impact the ease of traverse doors and public transport. If your doors are narrow, you might think about a side-by-side pushchair, such as the Mountain Buggy Duet. It has a footprint similar to a single stroller however it can accommodate two seats and car seat adaptors. Tandem buggies are generally a little longer than side-by-side models and therefore aren't difficult to maneuver around kerbs but they can accommodate a bigger range of car seat/car seat combinations, making them a good option for twins or siblings of different age. They are also more expensive than single-to-double buggies but are a worthwhile investment if you intend to keep it for many years and will retain a decent amount of resale value if you decide to sell it off after your children have grown out of it. This feature allows you to put your child in an ideal position for naps or observation. This is important if your child is in the back seat and wishes to nap while the older child prefers to sit and observe the surroundings. double strollers have a unique design that allows the back of their vehicles to recline into a position that is almost flat, perfect for babies. For instance, the iCandy Orange has raised stadium-style seating and can recline both the toddler seat included as well as the optional RumbleSeat into multiple positions to give your kids a the option of deciding where to sit as well as offering an excellent UPF 50+ canopy with 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 having to worry about your children touching. They're typically a little longer too with one seat positioned behind the other and usually providing a flat recline for infants (or a more 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 similar to a single stroller. It comes with an adjustable handle that makes it easier for parents to push, and a handbrake, which can be useful on hills that are steep. It is suitable for use right from birth, and can be paired with a wide range of car seats and carrycots. Another option is the iCandy Wave, which has the convenience of a single click to fold and can be utilized in a duo or mono mode. The clever frame expands in width to accommodate a second chair and can be used to accommodate up to two car seats or carrycots. This makes it a great option for older siblings who want to sit together. It's slightly longer than other models, but it isn't heavy and has a soft suspension for curbs. There are many 3-wheeler tandems with inline tires that offer stability and swift steering. Check out Phil and Teds inline models as well as iCandy Peach and Pear buggies. These can often be folded into a single buggy if you are limited in space at home or need to transport it from the car to the bus stop. Be aware that a two-wheeled buggy is more heavy and bulkier than a single compact buggy. Be sure to know what you want prior to making a buy. You'll be taking it on and off subways, buses, and trains regularly so it needs to be easy to use and manage. You may need to juggle the car seat on and off while taking your child to school or the nursery. The best time to start is when you are born. If you're expecting twins or you have a child following your first, you're likely need to find a stroller that can accommodate the whole family. Double buggies are generally larger, heavier and cost more than single strollers, but they can also be more maneuverable in narrower doorways or around obstacles like curbs. They are also compatible with piggyback ride-along boards (either from the manufacturer or via a separate accessory purchase) so you can transport three children at a time. Tandem pushchairs put one child ahead of the other. They're a good option for children who are of similar ages and are able to get along. They're not completely safe. Siblings seated side-by-side may punch or kick one another and children with different heights could argue over who sits higher. This issue can be addressed by a tandem high-low design that elevates the seat to the rear. Your child's older one will not be sitting at the lowest part of the car and won't have much of a look out. The iCandy Wave is a good choice for parents looking for a convertible double buggy that includes a carrycot that can accommodate both a newborn and an older child. It features a smart frame that expands in width when you add a second seat and folds down to flattish storage. The cushioned buckles, straps and seats are all of the best quality we have seen in our testing. You can recline both seats independently and the canopy is big and spacious with UPF 50+ protection as well as peekaboo windows. The only drawback to the iCandy tandem is that it's a bit costly. However, a quality tandem will last for years and retain an attractive resale value so at the end of the day you'll probably recoup some of the cost. It also doesn't offer the same range of seating configurations as some of our other top choices however the iCandy is a great choice for families who don't want to shell out a lot of money.
