You ll Be Unable To Guess Tandem Double Buggy s Benefits

Buying a Tandem Double Buggy

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

Some convert into travel systems to include 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 stroller that converts from single to double or to add an additional seat to an existing one, there's several options available. The Vista V2 from UPPAbaby is a spacious, gorgeous stroller that can easily be converted from a single stroller to double by incorporating the rumble seat (available separately). However, it's expensive and less mobile than other double strollers because the 2nd seat goes in front of the front seat. Nuna Demi Grow is a similar model but lacks storage underneath the seat when it is used as a double stroller.

Other options include twin buggies that have all-terrain wheels and joggers with fixed wheels that can accommodate two kids. They are generally more expensive but they're designed for long-distance trips over rough terrain and could have greater resales value.

Reclining the seat independently

If you are looking for a double stroller that can accommodate children of different age groups, you'll need one with independent seat recliner for both seats. This allows your child of a higher age to sit back and relax while the baby sleeps in the bassinet and vice versa.

Consider the width of your pushchair to determine the ease of you to maneuver through doors and public transport. If your doorways are very narrow, you might want to consider a side by side pushchair, such as the Mountain Buggy Duet. It has a footprint similar to a single stroller however it can accommodate two seats and car seat adaptors.

Tandem buggies are generally larger than side-by-side models, which makes them more difficult to maneuver up and down kerbs. However they can also accommodate a wider range of combinations of seats/carrycots/car seats and are a great option for twins and siblings of different ages. They can also be more expensive than single-to-double buggies but are a worthwhile purchase if you plan to keep it for years and will retain a decent amount of resale value should you sell it on when your children have grown out of it.

This feature allows you to place your child in a comfortable position for naps or to observe. This is particularly important if you have a child younger than in the rear seat who may be inclined to lie down and relax while the more mature child wants to sit and observe their surroundings.

A few brands have an exclusive seat design that allows the back seat to fully recline into an almost flat position which is perfect for newborns. For instance, the iCandy Orange has raised stadium-style seating and can recline the included toddler seat and the additional RumbleSeat into various positions to give your kids a the option of where they want they will sit, as well as offering an excellent UPF 50+ canopy with windows that can be seen from afar.

Wider than twin buggies

There's no need to have twins in order to benefit from a wider double buggy. They're great for siblings of various age groups. They allow you to move around without having to worry about your children touching. They're typically a little larger, with one seat sitting behind the other and providing a flat recline for newborns (or a more upright position for toddlers).

A popular choice is the Mountain Buggy Duet, which features the slimmest side-by-side design available and has the same footprint as a single buggy. It also comes with an adjustable handle, making it easier for parents of various heights to push as well as a handbrake that can be useful when you have to climb difficult hills. It is suitable from birth and is compatible with a variety of car seats and carrycots, which means it makes an excellent travel system.

Another alternative is the iCandy Wave, which has a simple one-click to fold and can be utilized in a duo or mono mode. Its clever frame can be expanded to accommodate the second chair and can be used to accommodate up to two car seats or carrycots. This makes it a great option for older siblings who want to be seated together. It's a little larger than other models, but it still feels light and has a comfortable suspension for the kerbs.

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

It's worth bearing in mind that a large double travel stroller buggy will be heavier and bulkier than a smaller single buggy, so make sure it's what you require before you purchase. It is likely to be used on buses, trains and subways frequently, so it must be easy to use and manage. You may also need to juggle it on and off the car seat while taking your children to school or nursery so you'll need to be aware it's easy to maneuver within small double buggy spaces.

From your birth, you are an ideal candidate

You'll need a stroller for your entire family, whether you're expecting twins or if you have a child after you've had your first. Double buggies are typically heavier and bulkier, as well as more expensive than single strollers. However they are much more maneuverable in tighter doors or around obstacles such as curbs. Many double umbrella stroller buggies work with piggyback boards (available from the manufacturer or as an accessory). This allows you to transport three children at the same time.

Tandem pushchairs place one child ahead of the other. They're a great option for children who are close in age and get along well. They're not 100% secure. Siblings sitting side-by-side can punch or kick one another and children with different heights can fight over who sits taller. A tandem high-low model could solve this problem by elevating the seat towards the rear, which will prevent your child's height from being on the bottom and not getting any view.

The iCandy Wave is a great option for parents looking for an easy-to-use convertible double buggy that can accommodate a newborn in a carrycot, and an older child in the main seat. It features a clever frame which increases in size when you add the second child seat. It folds flat to make it a compact storage. The seats are cushioned and comfortable, the straps easy to fasten and the buckles some of the best we've seen on any of our tests. The seats can be reclined independently, and the canopies are big and spacious with UPF 50+ protection and peekaboo windows.

The only downside of the iCandy is that it's a little on the expensive side, but a quality tandem will last for a long time and will retain its resale value, which means you'll probably get back some of the cost in the end. The iCandy does not have the same seating configurations as our other top choices. It's nevertheless an ideal choice for families that don't want spend a lot of cash.
