Buying a Tandem Double Buggy If you have twins or children very close in age, a tandem double buggy is a great option. They are smaller than side-by-side buggies and are great for narrow spaces like doorways, public transport and terrain that is rocky. Some can be converted into travel systems that use two carrycots or car seats for children. They can be heavier, longer and less stable than a single pushchair. Convertible If you're looking for convertible single-to-double stroller or want to add another seat to an existing one, there's many options to choose from. The UPPAbaby Vista V2 is a spacious, gorgeous stroller that converts easily from a single model to double by adding the rumble seating (available separately). It is more expensive and less maneuverable because the second seat is located in front of the first seat. The Nuna Demi Grow is a similar model with a wide range of seating options, but isn't equipped with storage under the seat when used in doubles mode. Other alternatives include all-terrain twin buggies, as well as fixed-wheel joggers that can hold two children. They tend to be more expensive, but they're made for long-distance trips over rough terrain and could have more resale value. Reclining the seat independently If you need a double buggy that can carry children of different ages then you're going to require a model with an independent seat recline for both seats. This will allow your older child to rest in the back while the baby is in the bassinet, and the reverse. Think about the width of your pushchair, as this will determine how easy it is for you to navigate through doors and on public transportation. If you have narrow doorways then it might be worth considering a side-by-side pushchair such as the Mountain Buggy Duet which has the benefit of having a footprint similar to a single buggy but can still take 2 seats and car seat adaptors. Tandem buggies generally are a little longer than side-by-side models and therefore aren't difficult to maneuver up and down kerbs, but they can accommodate a wider variety of car seat/car seat combinations, making them a good option for twins or siblings of various age. They are also more expensive than single to double buggies but they're well worth it if you plan to keep it for a few years. They also hold some value if sold when your children are old enough to use the buggie. This feature allows you to put your child in a comfortable position for naps and observation. This is important for children who are in the back seat and wishes to rest while the older child prefers to sit up to observe the surroundings. Certain brands come with a unique design for their seats that allows the back seat to fully recline into a nearly flat position that is perfect for newborns. For example, the iCandy Orange has raised stadium-style seating and can recline the toddler seat that comes with it and the add-on RumbleSeat into various positions to give your kids a the option of deciding where to sit and also comes with an excellent UPF 50+ canopy that has windows that can be seen from afar. More spacious than twin buggies They are great for siblings with different ages, and you can move around without having to worry about your children touching. They're typically a bit larger too with one seat placed behind the other and offering a fully-flat recline for infants (or an upright position for toddlers). Mountain Buggy Duet is a popular choice. It is the tiniest design that is side-by-side and a footprint like the footprint of a single stroller. It also has an adjustable handle, which makes it easier for parents of different heights to push, and a handbrake that is helpful when climbing difficult terrains. It can be used from birth and is compatible with a variety of car seats and carrycots, meaning it is a great travel system. The iCandy Wave is another option. It folds in mono or duo mode with just a single click. The clever frame expands in width to accommodate a second chair and can be used up to two car seats or carrycots. This makes it a great choice for older siblings that would like to sit together. It's slightly longer than some other models, yet it's light to steer and has soft suspension to tackle kerbs. There are a variety of 3-wheeler tandems with inline tires that provide stability and fast steering. Check out Phil and Teds inline models as well as iCandy Peach and Pear buggies. They are often folded down to the size of a single buggy which is useful when you have trouble storing it at home or frequently need to transport it into and out of the boot when you travel on public transportation. It's worth bearing in mind that a large double buggy will feel bulkier and heavier than a compact single buggy, so make sure you're getting what you need before purchasing. You'll have to get it on and off subways, buses, and trains frequently, so it must be easy to use and manage. You may need to juggle the car seat on and off when taking your child to school or to nursery. Suitable from birth You'll need a stroller for the whole family, regardless of whether you're expecting twins or if you have a child after having your first. Double buggies tend to be a bit heavier, bulkier and cost more than single strollers, however they can also be easier to maneuver through narrower doors or around obstacles like curbs. Many are also compatible with piggyback ride-along boards (either from the manufacturer or as an accessory purchase) which means you can carry three children at the same time. Tandem pushchairs put one child in front the other. They're a great option for children who are of similar ages and are good friends. They're not 100% secure. Siblings seated side-by-side may punch or kick each other and children with different heights could argue over who sits higher. double buggy side by side 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 have much of a look out. 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, and an older child in the main seat. It features a smart frame that expands widthways when you add the second seat and folds down flat to make it a compact storage. The cushioned seats, straps and buckles are all of the highest quality we have seen in our testing. The canopies are large in size, UPF 50+ protection, and a windows that peek out. Both seats are reclined independently. The only downside to the iCandy tandem is that it is a bit expensive. However, a quality tandem will last you for years and retain the highest resale value, so at the end of the day you'll probably recoup some of the cost. It doesn't have the same selection of seating configurations that the other top choices however, the iCandy is a great choice for families that don't want to shell out a lot of money.
