Which Double Tandem Pushchair is Best For Your Family?<br /><br />If you're preparing for twins or another child, there are plenty of products available to help make your life with children on the move more comfortable. The double tandem pushchair is one of the most popular.<br /><br />Many brands offer double buggy options as part of their range, from Phil & Teds to Baby Jogger. They are available as inline or side-by-side convertible models.<br /><br />Stability<br /><br />If you have twins, or children close in age, having a <a href="https://www.pushchairsandprams.uk/categories/double-pushchairs">double tandem pushchair</a> can make travelling with two of them much more enjoyable and comfortable. There are so many styles and configurations that it can be difficult to decide which one is best for your family. Some are more suitable for running, while others can accommodate a third person with a buggyboard. Which ones are the most stable though?<br /><br />Side-by-side pushchairs (like the CYBEX Gazelle S) are great for transporting children who are the same age. However they can be difficult to maneuver around narrow doorways and shopping aisles. In this scenario you may be better off with a stadium model, such as the Bugaboo Donkey, or Mountain Buggy Duet. These models let your children face either you or eachother depending on their setup.<br /><br />Tandem models that seat one behind the other are more manageable than side-by-side pushchairs, but they're not as sturdy as single strollers or car seats. They can also be difficult to get up curbs and could have less storage than a side-by-side pushchair.<br /><br />In order to get a really good impression of the stability of a double, you need to try it out with both seats in use because that is the way you will use it the most often. You should check the ease with which you can navigate and steer, especially in tight corners or with the swivel front wheels. It is also important to test the brakes, as they may be difficult to use if the child and infant seats are installed.<br /><br />If you're looking for a top-quality double stroller at a reasonable price that does it all look no further than the Phil and Teds Sport Double. This sleek compact pushchair can be changed from a single model to tandem in just a few steps. The carrycot and seat can be used with the parent facing or facing one another. Its air-filled tires as well as all-wheel suspension allow it to take on different terrains. It also comes with an underseat storage basket but access to this is partially restricted when the second seat is installed.<br /><br />Comfort<br /><br />There is a double stroller for any family, regardless of whether you have twins or a toddler newborn. They can be used to transport two children side-by-side, but many can be converted into a single pushchair (though this will usually require removing one seat). Most are wider than a single stroller but they provide the best value and flexibility.<br /><br />In our most recent double stroller reviews, we asked our testers to give their opinions on a range of aspects including the comfort of the ride, handling ease and how well the stroller folded. They also rated how easy it was to take the car seat in and out, and whether it could be used with a baby car.<br /><br />The Stroller & Co City Tour 2 Double stroller is a great example for lightweight and comfortable dual stroller. Our reviewers were impressed by its spacious UPF 50+ canopy, which provides real shade with the ability to peek at. Both seats can be reclined into multiple positions by pressing an arrow. One seat can be made to lay flat so that the baby can sleep in the carrycot above it.<br /><br />Other fantastic features of this model include the padded handlebar that comes with a cup pouch and holder, the easy-to-use braking system and the reversible seating liner with naturally anti-bacterial bamboo on one side and soft jersey on the other. Our testers also loved the fact that it is able to fold it in one hand, which is a big benefit for parents with two small children to keep an eye on.<br /><br />They are more expensive but they can provide greater flexibility due to their ability to fit through narrow doors and aisles. They can be a burden to push and difficult to manoeuvre up kerbs, however, they do come with an front-loaded weight which helps keep the load in balance.<br /><br />Flexibility<br /><br />Whether you're looking to keep your twins in close proximity or have a toddler and newborn, a double tandem pushchair can be an invaluable addition to your family. It will assist you in avoiding the irritation of children who wake one another up or fighting out and about, keeping them both content. This type of buggy may also be a great option if you plan to use it on public transportation as it is easier to fit in the space available.<br /><br />Some models can offer ultra flexibility, converting back to single mode when your youngest is ready for a stroller without needing to purchase a new one. The UPPAbaby Vista Double, for example it can fit two infant car seats as well as a riding board that is in the back which makes it perfect for three kids. It can be used alongside a stroller and a rolling case for parents. This allows you to travel light, while still having everything you need for your family.<br /><br /><br /><br />The Joovy Caboose Ultralight Graphite double stroller is a different design than the competition but offers many of the same features we've outlined as our top picks. It folds easily and can be inserted into many doors. The basket underneath the carriage is also taller, making it easier to load groceries. The rear seat is covered, so your child will be warm during winter.<br /><br />A tandem is more narrow 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 pushchair. Some of these pushchairs could be difficult to steer during tight turns, particularly when your child is heavier in the front seat.<br /><br />An inline double pushchair however is the best option for the majority of families. It can usually be used as a twin pram if your children are younger however, it can also be converted into a tandem once they're older. Certain models, such as the iCandy Peach 3+ can accept two iSize car seat. This allows you to have the most flexibility and value.<br /><br />Storage<br /><br />The biggest disadvantage of a double buggy may be that it takes up more space on public transport and is more difficult to maneuver through narrow doorways or lifts. They are also more expensive and are more expensive for side-by-side models, especially those with a second seat on the in the front.<br /><br />Some models, like the Joolz Geo or the Uppababy Vista V2 are able to be converted to tandem pushchairs. This is a great option if you're planning on having another baby at some point and also extends the lifespan of your buggy. However, it can be difficult to convert back to a single once your older child has outgrown it.<br /><br />Stadium Duo is a lightweight compact dual stroller that is ideal for urban adventures. It has a one-click fold, an automatic lock for storage and is compatible with two SnugEssentials infant car seats or SnugRide SnugSize car seats for infantsfor a seamless transition. The stadium-style seating design allows both children to enjoy the view. It's possible to connect infant car seats to the rear or front of the stroller with just one click. You can also pack everything you need for your outing in the large basket for shopping and tray for parents. The suspension and swivel wheels provide a smooth ride and ensure better manoeuvrability. The 5-point safety belts that are fitted to both seats will ensure your child's safety.<br /><br />
