Buying a Tandem Double Buggy If you have twins or children close in age, a tandem double buggie is a great choice. They are smaller than side by side buggies, and are great for narrow spaces like doorways, public transport and rough terrain. Some can be converted into travel systems that take two carrycots or car seats for children. However, they are heavier and longer than single pushchairs and may not be as stable when bumping up kerbs. 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 many options to choose from. The Vista V2 from UPPAbaby is spacious, gorgeous stroller that can easily be converted from a single model to double by adding the rumble seat (available separately). It's costly and less mobile than other double strollers because the 2nd seat is placed behind the front seat. Nuna Demi Grow is a similar model but lacks storage underneath the seat when it's used as a double stroller. Other options include all-terrain twin buggies and fixed-wheel joggers that can accommodate two children. These are more expensive, but they are made for long-distance trips over rough terrain, and come with a higher resale price. Reclining the seat independently If you are looking for a double stroller that will accommodate children of different age groups, you'll require one with an independent recliner for both seats. This allows your child of a higher age to rest while the baby is in a bassinet and reverse. It is also important to think about the size of the stroller as this will affect the ease of navigate through doors and on public transport. If your doors are narrow, you may be considering a side by side pushchair, such as the Mountain Buggy Duet. It has a footprint similar to a single stroller but can still accommodate two seats and car seat adaptors. Tandem buggies generally are a little longer than side-by-side models and therefore aren't difficult to maneuver around kerbs however they can be able to accommodate a wider range of car/car/seat combinations, so can be a good option for twins or siblings of various ages. They also tend to be more expensive than single-to double buggies, but are worth the purchase if you plan to keep it for a long time and will retain a decent amount of resale value if you decide to sell it when your children have grown out of it. This feature allows you to put your child in the most comfortable position for naps or observation. This is crucial for children who are in the back seat and would like to take a nap while the more mature child prefers to sit up to observe the surroundings. Certain brands have a unique design that allows the back seat of their vehicles to fully recline into a position that's almost flat, perfect for newborns. For instance the iCandy Orange has raised stadium-style seating and can recline the toddler seat included and the add-on RumbleSeat into various positions so that your children have a the option of where they want they will sit, as well as providing an excellent UPF 50+ canopy with windows that can be seen from afar. Larger than twin buggies You don't need to have twins to benefit from a wider double buggy. They're great for siblings of various ages and allow you to go about your day without having to worry about your children touching each other. They're typically a bit longer too with one seat positioned behind the other and usually providing a flat recline for babies (or an upright position for toddlers). A popular option is the Mountain Buggy Duet, which has the slimmest side-byside design available and features a footprint similar to a single buggy. It also has an adjustable handle, making it easy for parents of different heights to push as well as an adjustable handbrake, which is helpful when climbing difficult hills. It is suitable from birth and is compatible with a variety of car seats and carrycots, meaning it makes an excellent travel system. The iCandy Wave is another option. It can be folded in mono or duo mode in a single click. The frame's clever design expands in width to accommodate an additional chair and can be used up to two car seats or carrycots. This makes it an ideal option for older siblings who want to sit together. It's a bit longer than other models but still feels light to steer and comes with soft suspension that can handle the kerbs. There are plenty of 3-wheeler tandems with inline wheels that provide stability and fast steering. Check out Phil and Teds inline models or iCandy Peach and Pear buggies. They can be folded into one buggy if you have limited space at home or need to transport it from the car to the bus station. It's important to remember that a double-buggy with a wider width will be heavier and bulkier than a smaller single buggy Make sure that it's what you require before you buy. You'll have to get it off and on subways, buses, and trains regularly so it needs to be easy to operate and manage. You may also have to move it on and off the car seat when taking your children to school or nursery so you'll need to be aware it is able to be maneuvered in small spaces. From birth, you are a suitable candidate If you're expecting twins, or have a second child after your first, you're likely to need to find a stroller that can accommodate the entire family. Double buggies are typically heavier and bulkier as well as more expensive than single strollers. However, they are more maneuverable in narrower doors or around obstacles such as curbs. Many are also compatible with piggyback ride-along boards (either from the manufacturer or through an accessory purchase) to allow you to transport three children at a time. Tandem pushchairs place one child in front of the other. They're a great option if your children are close in age and are good friends. But they're not foolproof Siblings in a side-by-side seat may punch or kick one another, and children with different heights may argue over who sits higher. This issue can be addressed by a tandem high-low design that elevates the seat at the back. Your child's older one isn't seated at the bottom of the car and won't get much of an opportunity to see. The iCandy Wave is a great choice for parents looking for an easy-to-use double buggy that converts to fit both a newborn in a carrycot, and an older child in the main seat. It has an innovative frame that increases in size when you add a second child seat. It folds flat for storage that is compact. The seats are cushioned and comfortable, the straps are simple to secure and the buckles some of the most impressive we've seen in any of our tests. The canopies are large in size with UPF 50+ protection, and windows that peek out. double stroller with infant car seat can recline independently. The only drawback to the iCandy tandem is that it is a bit costly. However, a good tandem will last you for years and retain the highest resale value, so in the end, you'll likely recoup a portion of the cost. It doesn't come with the same selection of seating configurations as the other top picks, but the iCandy is a good choice for families that don't want to spend a lot.
