Searching For Inspiration Look Up Tandem Double Buggy

Buying a Tandem Double Buggy

A tandem stokke double stroller buggy can be a fantastic option for twins or children who are close in age. They're a bit smaller than side-byside buggies and are ideal for maneuvering tight spaces such as doorways, on public transport and on rocky terrain.

Some convert into travel systems that use two carrycots or car seats. They can be heavier, longer and less stable than a single pushchair.

Convertible

If you're looking for a convertible single-to-double stroller or want to add another seat to an existing one, there's many options to choose from. The UPPAbaby is a spacious, gorgeous stroller. It can be easily transformed from a single stroller to a double buggy for twins by adding an rumble seat. It is more expensive and less maneuverable due to the fact that the second seat is located behind the first seat. Nuna Demi Grow offers a similar option however, it doesn't have storage under the seat when it is used as a double stroller.

Other alternatives include lightweight twin buggy buggies with all-terrain wheels and joggers with fixed wheels that can hold two kids. They are more expensive, however, they are designed for long-distance trips over rough terrain and come with more expensive resales.

Independent recline of the seat

If you are looking for a double stroller which can accommodate children of different age groups, you'll need one with a recliner that is independent for both seats. This allows your older child to relax while the baby is in the bassinet, and reverse.

Consider the width of your pushchair to determine the ease of you to navigate through doors and on public transport. If you have very narrow doors, it may be worth considering a side-by-side pushchair like the Mountain Buggy Duet which has the benefit of having a footprint that is similar to a single buggy, but can still accommodate two seats and car seat adaptors.

Tandem buggies tend to be longer than side by side models, and therefore are more difficult to maneuver up and down kerbs. However, they can accommodate more combinations of car seats/car seats/seats and can make a great option for twins and siblings of different age. They also tend to be more expensive than single-to-double buggies, but are a worthwhile investment if you plan to keep it for many years and have a good amount of resale value in the event that you sell it on after your children have grown out of it.

This feature allows you to put your child in a comfortable position for naps and observation. This is essential if your child is in the back seat and wishes to take a nap while the older child prefers to sit up to observe the surrounding.

Certain brands come with a unique design for their seats that allows the back seat to fully recline to an almost flat position which is perfect for newborns. For instance, the iCandy Orange has raised stadium-style seating and can recline both the included toddler seat and the additional RumbleSeat into various positions so your kids can have the option of where they want they will sit, as well as offering an excellent UPF 50+ canopy that has windows that peek out.

Wider than twin buggies

It's not necessary to have twins in order to benefit from a larger double buggy - they're ideal for siblings of various age groups. They allow you to move around without worrying about your children touching. They're typically a little longer too with one seat positioned behind the other and usually offering a fully-flat recline for newborns (or an upright position for toddlers).

A popular option is the Mountain Buggy Duet, which has the slimmest side-byside design available and has an identical footprint to a single to double buggy buggy. It also features 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 from birth and is compatible with a range of car seats and carrycots. This means it's a great travel system.

Another alternative is the iCandy Wave, which has an easy one-click fold and is able to be utilized in a duo or mono mode. Its clever frame 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 wish to sit together. It's slightly longer than some other models, yet it's easy to steer and has soft suspension that can handle the kerbs.

There are also a variety of 3-wheeler inline tandems available Check out Phil and Teds' inline models or iCandy's Peach and Pear buggies for instance that provide stability and quick steering. They are often folded into one buggy in case you have a small space at home or you need to carry it from the car to the bus stop.

Be aware that a double-wide buggy is more heavy and more bulkier than one compact buggy. Be sure you know what you want prior to making a purchase. You'll need to take it on and off subways, trains and buses frequently, so it must be simple to use and manage. You may also need to move it on and off the car seat when taking your children to nursery or school so you'll need to be aware it is able to be maneuvered within small spaces.

From birth, you're a suitable candidate

Whether you're expecting twins or have a second child after your first, you're going need to find an appropriate pushchair for the entire family. Double buggies are typically heavier, bulkier, and more expensive than single strollers. However, they are more maneuverable in narrower doorways or around obstacles such as curbs. They are also compatible with piggyback ride-along boards (either from the manufacturer or via an accessory purchase) to allow you to transport three children at the same time.

Tandem pushchairs place one child in front of the other. They're a good option if your children are of similar ages and are able to get along. But they're not completely safe Side-by-side chairs may punch or kick each other, and children with different heights may argue over who should sit higher. This issue can be resolved by a tandem high-low model that raises the seat in the rear. Your child's older one will not be sitting at the bottom of the car and won't be able to get a look out.

The iCandy Wave is a good option for parents who are looking for a convertible double buggy that includes a carrycot that can fit both a newborn and an older child. It has a clever frame that can be expanded in width when you add the second seat and folds down to flattish storage. The cushioned seats, straps and buckles are all of the highest quality we have seen in any of our tests. The canopy is large in size, UPF 50+ protection, as well as a the window is peekaboo. Both seats can be reclined independently.

The only downside to the iCandy tandem is that it is quite expensive. However, a quality tandem will last you for years and retain an attractive resale value so at the end of the day, you'll likely recoup some of the cost. It also doesn't offer the same variety of seating options as others of our top picks, but the iCandy is a great choice for families who don't want to shell out a lot of money.
