Buying a Tandem Double Buggy

A tandem double buggy could be a great choice for twins or children who are very close in age. They are narrower than side by side buggies and are great for tight spaces like doors, public transport, and rough terrain.

Some can be converted to travel systems that use two carrycots or child car seats. However, they can be heavier and longer than single pushchairs and may feel less stable as they bump up the kerbs.

Convertible

There are many options for adding a second seating or making a single stroller a double. The UPPAbaby V2 is a spacious, gorgeous stroller. It can be easily converted from a single to a double by adding an seating area with a rumble. It is more expensive and less maneuverable since the second seat is placed behind the first seat. Nuna Demi Grow provides a similar choice, but it lacks storage underneath the seat when it is used as a double stroller.

Other options include all-terrain twin buggies and fixed-wheel joggers which can be used to accommodate two children. These tend to be more expensive, however they're designed to last longer on rough terrain and could have more resale value.

They also hold an impressive amount of value when sold once your children have outgrown it.

Another crucial thing to look for is if the backs of the seats can recline independently of one another since this will allow you to put your child in the best position for naps or watching.

Some brands have a unique design that allows the back of their vehicles to recline into a position that is almost flat, perfect for babies. The iCandy Orange, for example has a stadium-style seating option that can be reclined to multiple positions. It also comes with a UPF 50+ canopy and peekaboo windows.

More spacious than twin buggies

They allow you to go about your day without worrying about your children touching each other. They're usually a bit longer, with one seat behind the other. The seats can be reclined fully for newborns or in an upright position for toddlers.

It's a bit bigger than the other models, but it feels light and has soft suspension for kerbs.

Often these can be folded down to size one buggy which is useful if you struggle with storage at home or need to transport it into and out of the car when you travel on public transportation.

Suitable from birth

You'll need a pushchair for your entire family, whether you're expecting twins or if you have a child after having your first. Double buggies are typically larger, heavier and more expensive than single strollers double, but they can also be easier to manoeuvre in narrower entrances or around obstacles such as curbs.

Tandem pushchairs double pushchairs (recent Hulkshare blog post) 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. However, they're not 100% secure: Siblings in side-by-side seats can kick or punch one another, and children with different heights may argue over who should sit higher. This issue can be resolved by a tandem high-low design that elevates the seat to the back. Your child's older one isn't seated at the lowest part of the car and won't be able to get a look out.

The iCandy Wave is a good alternative for parents looking for a convertible double buggy with a carrycot that can fit both infants and an older child. It features a clever frame which can be expanded in size when you add a second child seat. It can also fold flat for storage that is compact.

But a high-quality tandem will last you for years and retain a high resale price, so in the end you'll likely recover a portion of the cost.
