Buying a Tandem Double Buggy<br /><br />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 rocky terrain.<br /><br />Some can be converted into travel systems that can take two carrycots or child car seats. However, they can be heavier and longer than single pushchairs, and may not be as stable when bumping up the kerbs.<br /><br />Convertible<br /><br />If you're looking for a convertible stroller that can be converted from a single to a double or to add a second seat to an existing one, there's several options available. The UPPAbaby is a spacious, gorgeous stroller. It is easily converted from a single to a dual by adding the rumble seat. It is more expensive and less maneuverable because the second seat is located on top of the first seat. Nuna Demi Grow offers a similar option however, it doesn't have storage under the seat when it's used as a double stroller.<br /><br />Other options include twin buggies with all-terrain wheels, and joggers with fixed wheels that can hold two children. These are more expensive, but they are designed for long-distance trips over rough terrain and have a higher resale price.<br /><br />Reclining seat recline independently<br /><br />If you require a double buggy to carry children of different ages, you'll require a model with an independent seat recline for both seats. This will allow your child's older to relax in the back while the baby sleeps in the bassinet and the reverse.<br /><br /><br /><br />Take into consideration the size of your pushchair to determine the ease of you to get through doors and on public transport. If your doors are narrow, you might think about a side-by-side pushchair such as the Mountain Buggy Duet. It has a footprint similar to a single stroller, but can still accommodate two seats and car seat adaptors.<br /><br />Tandem buggies are generally longer than side by side models, making them more difficult to maneuver up and down kerbs. However, they can accommodate more combinations of seats/carrycots/car seats and are the perfect choice for twins and siblings of different ages. These buggies are priced higher than single-to-double buggies but they're well worth it if you intend on keeping it for many years. They also hold some value when sold once your children are old enough to use the buggie.<br /><br /><a href="https://www.openlearning.com/u/mcdonaldberg-set5qz/blog/AreYouTiredOfTwinStroller10SourcesOfInspirationThatLlRekindleYourLove">double buggy for twins</a> allows you to place your child in the most comfortable position for naps or to observe. This is particularly important if you have a young child in the rear seat who will want to lie back and relax while the older child wants to sit up and look around their surroundings.<br /><br />A few brands have a unique seat design which allows the back seat to fully recline into an almost flat position that is perfect for newborns. The iCandy Orange, for example, has stadium-style seating that can be reclined to multiple positions. <a href="https://click4r.com/posts/g/17055844/">double buggy for twins</a> has UPF 50+ sun protection and windows that peek out.<br /><br />Larger than twin buggies<br /><br />You don't need to have twins to benefit from a larger double buggy - they're ideal for siblings of different age groups. They allow you to move around without worrying about your children touching each other. They're typically a little larger with one seat positioned behind the other, and typically providing a flat recline for newborns (or an upright position for toddlers).<br /><br />A popular choice is the Mountain Buggy Duet, which features the slimmest side-by-side design available and has an identical footprint to a single buggy. It comes with an adjustable handle that makes it easier for parents to push and a handbrake which is helpful on steep hills. It is suitable for use right from birth, and can be paired with a variety of car seats and carrycots.<br /><br />The iCandy Wave is another option. It can be folded in mono or duo mode in a single click. The frame's clever design can be expanded widthwise to accommodate a second seat and it can be used with two carrycots or car seats so it's an excellent choice for older siblings who want to sit together and enjoy the view. It's a little longer than other models, but it's light to steer and has soft suspension that is able to handle the kerbs.<br /><br />There are a variety of 3-wheeler tandems that have inline wheels that offer stability and quick steering. Take a look at Phil and Teds inline models or iCandy Peach and Pear buggies. Often these can be folded down to size one buggie, which is helpful for those who struggle with storage at home or need to transport it into and out of the car when using public transport.<br /><br />Be aware that a double wide buggy will be heavier and bulkier than one compact buggy. Be sure to know what you want before you purchase. It is likely to be used on buses, trains and subways often, so it must be easy to use and manage. It is possible that you will need to move the car seat in and out when taking your child to school or nursery.<br /><br />From birth<br /><br />Whether you're expecting twins or have another child after your first, you're likely to need to find a pushchair that fits the whole family. Double buggies are generally larger, heavier and cost more than single strollers, however they can also be more maneuverable in narrower doorways or around obstacles such as curbs. Many are also compatible with piggyback ride-along boards (either from the manufacturer or through an additional accessory purchase) so you can transport three children at a time.<br /><br />Tandem pushchairs put one child in the front of the other, and they're often a better choice if you have two kids who are close enough in age to get along well. But they're not completely safe Side-by-side chairs may punch or kick one another, and children with different heights may argue over who gets to sit higher. A tandem high-low model could solve this problem by elevating the seat towards the rear, which prevents your older child from being on the bottom and not getting much of a view.<br /><br />The iCandy Wave is a good option for parents who are looking for a convertible double buggy with 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 a second seat, and folds flat to make it a compact storage. The cushioned seats, straps and buckles are all of the highest quality we have encountered in our tests. You can recline both seats independently, and the canopies are large and generous with UPF 50+ protection as well as peekaboo windows.<br /><br />The only drawback to the iCandy tandem is that it's a bit costly. However, a good tandem will last for years and retain an attractive resale value so in the end you'll likely recover a portion of the cost. It also doesn't offer the same range of seating configurations as some of our other top picks however the iCandy is a good option for families who don't want to spend a lot.<br /><br />
