Buying a Tandem Double BuggyIf you have twins or children very similar in age, a tandem double buggie is a fantastic option. They're a bit smaller than side-byside buggies, and ideal for maneuvering tight spaces, such as doors, on public transport and on rough terrain.compact double stroller transform into travel systems that use two carrycots or car seats. They can be heavier, longer and less stable than a single pushchair.ConvertibleIf you're looking for convertible single-to-double stroller or want to add an additional seat to an existing one, there are a variety of options available. The UPPAbaby is a large, beautiful stroller. It can be easily converted from a single to a dual by adding a rumble seat. However, it's pricey and less maneuverable than other dual strollers due to the fact that the second seat is placed in front of the front seat. Nuna Demi Grow is a similar model but lacks storage under the seat when it is used as a double stroller.Other options include all-terrain twin buggies as well as fixed-wheel joggers that can hold two children. They are generally more expensive but they're designed for long trips over rough terrain, and may have greater resales value.Reclining the seat independentlyIf you want a double stroller which can accommodate children of various age groups, you'll require one with an independent recliner for both seats. This will allow your older child to sit back and relax while the baby is in the bassinet, and the reverse.You'll also have to think about the size of the pushchair, as it will impact the ease of navigate through doors and on public transport. If your doorways are very narrow, you might think about a side-by-side pushchair like the Mountain Buggy Duet. It has a footprint similar to a single stroller, but it can accommodate two seats and car seat adaptors.Tandem buggies are usually a little longer than side-by-side models and so aren't as easily maneuverable through kerbs and up and down, however they can be able to accommodate a bigger range of car seat/car seat combinations, and are a great option for twins or siblings of different age groups. These buggies are more expensive than single to double buggies, but they're worth the cost if you plan to keep it for a few years. They also hold an impressive amount of value if you decide to sell it when your kids have outgrown it.This feature allows you to place your child in an ideal position for naps or to observe. This is important for children who are in the back seat and would like to rest while the older child prefers to sit up and observe the surrounding.Certain brands come with a unique seat design which allows the back seat to completely recline into a nearly flat position which is perfect for babies. For example the iCandy Orange has raised stadium-style seating and can recline the toddler seat that comes with it as well as the optional RumbleSeat to multiple positions, so your kids can have the option of where they want to sit, and also comes with an excellent UPF 50+ canopy that has windows that peek out.Larger than twin buggiesThey are ideal for siblings with different age groups, and you can move about without having to worry about your children touching. They're usually a more spacious, with one seat behind the other. The seats can be reclined completely for babies or placed in an upright position for toddlers.Mountain Buggy Duet is a popular choice. It is the slimmest design side-by-side on the market, and a footprint that is similar to the footprint of a single stroller. It has an adjustable handle that makes it easier for parents to push, and a handbrake that is useful on steep hills. It is suitable to use from birth and can be used with a wide range of car seats and carrycots.The iCandy Wave is another option. It can be folded in duo or mono mode with just one click. The frame's clever design expands in width to accommodate an additional chair and can be used to accommodate up to two car seats or carrycots. This makes it a great option for older siblings who wish to sit together. It's a bit longer than other models, but it's easy to steer and has soft suspension that is able to handle kerbs.There are a lot of 3-wheeler tandems inline available such as Phil and Teds inline models, or iCandy's Peach and Pear buggies for instance that provide stability and quick steering. They are often folded down to the size of a single buggy which is useful if you struggle with storage at home or have to carry it in and out of the boot when using public transport.It's important to keep in mind that a double-buggy with a wider width will feel bulkier and heavier than a smaller single buggy So make sure it's what you need before you purchase. You'll have to get it on and off trains, buses and subways regularly so it needs to be easy to use and manage. You may need to juggle the car seat in and out while taking your child to school or to nursery.Suitable from birthIf you're expecting twins or have another child after your first, you're going 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 also more maneuverable in narrower doors or around obstacles such as curbs. Many double buggies are compatible with piggyback boards (available from the manufacturer or as an add-on). This lets you transport three children simultaneously.Tandem pushchairs put one child in front of the other. They're a good option if your children are of similar ages and are good friends. But they're not foolproof: Siblings in side-by-side seats may punch or kick each other, and kids with different heights may argue over who should sit higher. A tandem high-low model is able to solve this problem by elevating the seat to the rear, which prevents your older child from sitting on the bottom and not getting any view.The iCandy Wave is a good choice for parents looking for a convertible double buggy that includes a carrycot that can accommodate both the newborn and the older child. It has a clever frame that can be expanded in width when you add a second seat. It folds flat for compact storage. The cushioned straps, buckles, and seats are all of the highest quality we have seen in our tests. You can recline both seats independently and the canopy is spacious and large with UPF 50+ protection as well as windows that peek out.The only downside to the iCandy tandem is that it is a bit expensive. But a high-quality tandem will last you for many years and have a high resale price, so at the end of the day, you'll likely recoup a portion of the cost. It also doesn't offer the same range of seating options as the other top picks however the iCandy is a good option for families that don't want to shell out a lot of money.
