The 10 Most Scariest Things About Double Tandem Pushchair

Which Double Tandem Pushchair is Best For Your Family?

If you're preparing for twins or a second child there are plenty of products that can help make life with children moving around more comfortable. One of these is the double tandem pushchair.

The majority of brands offer a double buggy as part of their line, ranging from Phil & Teds to Baby Jogger. They can be side-by-side or inline convertible models.

Stability

If you have twins, or children of similar age, a double tandem pushchair makes traveling with two children much more enjoyable and comfortable. But, with numerous designs and configurations available it can be difficult to determine which one is suitable for your family. Some are better for running than others, or fit a third seat when you add buggy boards. Which ones are the most stable however?

The CYBEX Gazelle is a great option for children who are the same age. However, they can be tricky to maneuver through narrow doors and shopping aisles. In this situation, you may be better off with models that are stadium-style like the Bugaboo Donkey, or Mountain Buggy Duet. These models let your children face you or the other according to their configuration.

Tandem models that can seat one behind the other are easier to manage than side-by-side pushchairs. However, they're not as stable as single strollers or car seats. They can also be tough to navigate around curbs and may have less storage capacity than a side-byside pushchair.

You should try out the double with both seats in place as that is how you'll be using it most. Check how easy it is to steer and navigate the vehicle, especially in tight corners or using the front wheels that swivel. It is a good idea to test the brakes too as they can be difficult to operate if the child and adult seats are both attached.

If you're looking to purchase a premium double stroller that does it all, look no further than Phil & Teds Sport Double. This stylish compact stroller can be transformed from a single to double pushchair to a tandem in a few easy steps. The seat and carrycot both recline and can be used either facing the parent or facing one another, and the air-filled tyres and all-wheel suspension make it suitable for tackling a variety of terrains. The seat comes with a handy storage basket under the seat, but it is partially hidden by the second child's seat.

Comfort

There is a double stroller for any family, regardless of whether you have twins or a toddler newborn. Typically, they can carry both children side by side but some be converted into single pushchairs (although this will often involve the removal of one seat). They are typically wider than a single buggy however, they are generally able to provide ultra flexibility and good value for price.

In our recent double stroll reviews, we sought feedback from testers on a range of aspects including the comfort of the ride, handling ease and how well the pushchair folded. They also evaluated the ease of taking out and putting in the car seat, as well as whether or not it could be used with baby carriers.

The Stroller & Co City Tour 2 Double stroller is a fantastic example of an easy-going and comfortable dual stroller. Our reviewers praised the generous UPF 50+ canopy which provides real shade and includes an opening window for peekaboos, and both seats recline into multiple positions with the push of one button. One seat can be set to lie flat so that babies can rest in the carrycot on top of it.

The reversible seat lining made of bamboo, which is naturally antibacterial on one side, and soft Jersey on the other is another excellent feature. Our testers also loved the fact that you can fold it in one hand, which is a big benefit for parents with two small children to keep an eye on.

They are more expensive but they can provide greater flexibility because they can fit through narrow aisles and doors. They can be heavy to push and difficult to manoeuvre up kerbs, however, they do come with an front-loaded weight that helps balance the overall load.

Flexibility

If you're looking for a way to keep your twins close or have a baby and toddler, a double umbrella stroller tandem pushchair can be a valuable addition to your family. It can keep your children entertained by preventing them from arguing or waking one other up. This type of buggy is ideal for those who plan to take it on public transport, as it can be easier to fit it in the space available.

Some models are extremely flexible and allow you to change back to single mode once your child is old enough to use a stroller. This lets you save money on a new stroller. The UPPAbaby Double can accommodate two infant car seats in the back, as well as a riding board making it suitable for three kids. It can be used with the stroller and a roll-away case for parents. This lets you travel light, while still having everything your family requires.

The Joovy Caboose Ultralight Graphite is a different style of double running stroller stroller than the rest, yet it comes with the same features as in our top selections. We like how it folds in hands and easily through doors, and that the basket underneath is higher to make it easier to store your shopping into. The rear seat is also covered, so your child will be warm in the winter.

A tandem is smaller than a side-by-side, which makes it difficult to navigate narrow aisles in shops or on busy walking routes. However, it is more maneuverable on rough terrain than a standard dual pushchair. Some of these pushchairs can be difficult to steer in tight turns, especially when your child is heavier in the front seat.

An inline double pushchair, on the other hand is a better choice for families with multiple children. It can be used as a twin pushchair from birth pram when your children are younger, but can also convert into a tandem when they're older. Some models, like the iCandy Peach 3+ can accommodate two iSize car seats. This gives you the maximum flexibility and value.

Storage

The biggest disadvantage of a double buggy could be that it takes up more space on public transport and is harder to maneuver through narrow doors or lifts. They also cost more and are more expensive for side-by-side models, especially those with a second passenger up in the front.

Some models, such as the Joolz Geo or the Uppababy Vista V2, can be converted to tandem pushchairs. This is an affordable option if you plan to have a baby in the future. It also extends the lifespan of your buggy. It's not easy to convert it back into one seat once your older child has grown out of it.

Stadium Duo is the perfect dual stroller for urban adventures. It's lightweight twin buggy and compact. It features a one-click, fold with one hand and an automatic storage lock, plus it's compatible with 2 SnugEssentials or SnugRide i-Size infant car seats* to ensure seamless transitions. Its raised stadium-style seating gives children with a fantastic view of the world, and it's easy to connect your infant car seat to the front or rear of the stroller with just one click. You can also carry all the necessities for your outing in the large basket for shopping and tray for parents. The suspension and swivel wheels guarantee superior manoeuvrability as well as a smooth ride, while the 5-point safety belts on both seats boost your little ones' security.
