Buying a Tandem Double Buggy If you have twins or children similar in age, a tandem double buggy is a great option. They're a bit smaller than side-byside buggies and ideal for navigating tight spaces such as doors, on public transport and on rocky terrain. Some can be converted to travel systems that can take two carrycots or car seats for children. They are often heavier, longer and less stable than a single pushchair. Convertible Whether you're looking for a convertible stroller that converts from single to double or to add a second seat to an existing one, there are several options available. The UPPAbaby is a spacious, gorgeous stroller. It is easily converted from a single to a double by adding an seating area with a rumble. However, it's pricey and less mobile than other double strollers because the 2nd seat is located behind the front seat. The Nuna Demi Grow is a similar option with a wide range of seating options, but does not have storage under the seat when used in doubles mode. Other options include twin buggies with all-terrain wheels as well as joggers that have fixed wheels that can hold two children. These are more expensive, but they are made to last longer on rough terrain and have more expensive resales. Reclining the seat independently If you need a double buggy to carry children of different age groups, then you'll need a buggy that has an recline that is independent for both seats. This will allow your child's older to rest in the back while the baby sleeps in the bassinet and vice versa. You'll also have to think about the size of the pushchair, as this will impact how easy it is to traverse doors and public transportation. If you have extremely narrow doors, it could be worth considering a side-by-side pushchair, such as the Mountain Buggy Duet which has the benefit of having a footprint that is similar to a single buggy however, it is able to accommodate two seats and car seat adaptors. Tandem buggies are generally longer than side by side models, and therefore are more difficult to maneuver up and down kerbs. However they can also accommodate a wider range of combinations of car seats/car seats/seats and are a great option for twins and siblings of different age. They can also be more expensive than single-to-double buggies but are worth the investment if you plan to keep it for years and will retain a decent amount of resale value should you decide to sell it when your children are out of it. Another crucial thing to look for is whether the seat backs can recline independently from one another since this will allow you to put your child in the ideal position for napping or observation. This is particularly important if you have a child younger than in the rear seat who will want to lie back and sleep while the older child wants to sit up and look around their surroundings. Some brands have a unique design that allows the back of their vehicles to recline fully into a position that's almost flat, ideal for babies. For example, the iCandy Orange has raised stadium-style seating that can recline both the included toddler seat and the add-on RumbleSeat into multiple positions so that your children have a the option of where they want to sit as well as offering an excellent UPF 50+ canopy with windows that peek out. Wider than twin buggies They are great for siblings of different age groups, and you can move around without having to worry about your children touching. They're typically a bit larger with one seat placed behind the other and offering a fully-flat recline for infants (or an upright position for toddlers). A popular option is the Mountain Buggy Duet, which has the slimmest side-byside design available and has the same footprint as one buggy. It also comes with an adjustable handle, making it easy for parents of different heights to push and an adjustable handbrake, which can be useful when you have to climb steep hills. It is suitable for use right from birth, and can be paired with a wide range of car seats and carrycots. Another alternative is the iCandy Wave, which has a simple one-click to fold and can be used in mono or duo mode. The clever frame expands to accommodate the second chair and can be used up to two car seats or carrycots. This makes it an ideal choice for older siblings that wish to be seated together. It's a little longer than other models, but it still feels light and has soft suspension for curbs. There are plenty of 3-wheeler tandems that have inline wheels that offer stability and swift steering. Check out Phil and Teds inline models, or iCandy Peach and Pear buggies. Most of them can be folded down to size one buggie, which is helpful for those who struggle with storage at home or frequently need to transport it into and out of the boot when you travel on public transport. Be aware that a two-wheeled buggy is heavier and heavier than a single compact buggy. Be sure to know what you want before you purchase. It is likely to be used on buses, trains and subways frequently, so it must be easy to use and manage. It is possible that you will need to move the car seat in and out when you take your child to school or the nursery. From birth If you're expecting twins or have a second child after your first, you're going to require a stroller that can accommodate the entire family. Double buggies tend to be a bit heavier, bulkier and cost more than single strollers. However, they are also easier to manoeuvre in narrower entrances or around obstacles like curbs. Many are also compatible with piggyback ride-along boards (either from the manufacturer or through an accessory purchase) which means you can carry three children at once. double pushchair place one child in the front of the other, so they're often a better choice when you have two children who are close enough in age to get along well together. However, they're not 100% secure Siblings in a side-by-side seat can kick or punch each other, and kids who are different heights can argue over who gets to sit higher. This problem can be solved by a tandem high-low model that raises the seat at the back. Your child's older isn't seated at the lower part of the car, and won't be able to get an eye. The iCandy Wave is a great option for parents looking for an easy-to-use double buggy that converts to accommodate a newborn in a carrycot as well as an older child in the main seat. It has a clever frame that expands in width when you add the second seat and folds down flat to make it a compact storage. The padded seats, straps and buckles are all of the best quality we have encountered in our testing. The canopy is large in size with UPF 50+ protection, and windows that peek out. Both seats are reclined independently. The only downside to the iCandy tandem is that it is a bit costly. However, a good tandem will last for many years and have a high resale price, so in the end you'll likely recover some of the cost. It doesn't come with 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 spend a fortune.
