Buying a Tandem Double Buggy<br /><br />If you have twins or children similar in age, a tandem double buggie is a great option. They are narrower than side by side buggies and are perfect for small spaces such as doorways, public transport and terrain that is rocky.<br /><br />Some convert into travel systems to take 2 carrycots or car seats. They are often heavier, longer and less stable than a single pushchair.<br /><br />Convertible<br /><br />There are many options for adding a second seating or changing a single stroller into double. The UPPAbaby is a large, beautiful stroller. It is easily changed from a single to a dual by adding the rumble seat. However, it's pricey and less maneuverable than other dual strollers because the 2nd seat is placed to the left of the front seat. Nuna Demi Grow offers a similar option, but it lacks storage underneath the seat when it's used as a double stroller.<br /><br /><a href="https://www.pushchairsandprams.uk/categories/double-pushchairs">double pushchair</a> include twin buggies with all-terrain wheels as well as joggers that have fixed wheels that can accommodate two children. These are more expensive, but they are made for long trips on rough terrain and have a higher resale price.<br /><br />Independent seat recline<br /><br />If you're looking for a double stroller which can accommodate children of different age groups, you'll need one with an independent recliner for both seats. This allows your older child to relax while the baby is sleeping in a bassinet and reverse.<br /><br />Consider the width of your stroller to determine the ease of you to get through doors and public transport. If you have very narrow doorways then it might be a good idea to consider a side-byside pushchair, such as the Mountain Buggy Duet which has the benefit of having a footprint that is similar to a single buggy however, it is able to accommodate two seats and car seat adaptors.<br /><br />Tandem buggies tend to be 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 an excellent choice for twins and siblings of different ages. They are priced higher than single-to-double buggies however they're worth it if you intend to keep it for a number of years. They will also retain some value when sold once your kids have outgrown the buggie.<br /><br />This feature will allow you to place your child in an ideal position for naps and observation. This is important for children who are in the back seat and wants to nap while the older child prefers to sit and observe the surrounding.<br /><br />Certain brands come with a unique seat design which allows the back seat to fully recline into an almost flat position which is perfect for infants. The iCandy Orange, for example is a stadium-style seat that can be reclined in several positions. It also offers UPF 50+ sun protection and windows that peek out.<br /><br /><br /><br />More spacious than twin buggies<br /><br />They are perfect for siblings of different age groups, and they allow you to move about without worrying about your children touching. They are usually a little bit longer with one seat in front of the other. The seats can be reclined completely for babies or placed in an upright position for toddlers.<br /><br />Mountain Buggy Duet is a popular choice. It is the tiniest design of the two-in-ones on the market and a footprint that is similar to a single stroller. It comes with an adjustable handle that makes it easier for parents to push and a handbrake which is useful on steep 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.<br /><br />The iCandy Wave is another option. It folds in either mono or duo mode in a single click. Its clever frame expands in width to accommodate a second chair and can be used to accommodate up to two car seats or carrycots. This makes it a great choice for older siblings that want to be seated together. It's a little longer than other models, but it's light to steer and comes with soft suspension to tackle kerbs.<br /><br />There are many 3-wheeler tandems with inline tires that offer stability and swift steering. Take a look at Phil and Teds inline models, or iCandy Peach and Pear buggies. Most of them can be folded down to the size of a single buggy, which is helpful if you struggle with storage at home or have to lug it in and out of the boot on public transportation.<br /><br />It's worth bearing in mind that a double-buggy with a wider width will feel heavier and bulkier than a single buggy that is smaller, so make sure it's what you require before purchasing. You'll have to get it off and on subways, buses, and trains frequently, so it must be easy to operate and manage. It is possible that you will need to move the car seat while taking your child to school or the nursery.<br /><br />The best time to start is when you are born.<br /><br />Whether you're expecting twins or have a second child after your first, you're likely to require a stroller that can accommodate the entire family. Double buggies are generally slightly heavier, bulkier and cost more than single strollers, but they can also be easier to maneuver in narrower doorways or around obstacles such as curbs. They are also compatible with piggyback ride-along boards (either from the manufacturer or through a separate accessory purchase) to allow you to transport three children at a time.<br /><br />Tandem pushchairs put one child ahead of the other. They are a good option for children who are of similar ages and are good friends. They're not completely safe. Siblings seated side-by-side may kick or punch each other, and children of different heights may fight over who sits higher. A tandem high-low model can solve this problem by elevating the seat towards the rear, which prevents your child's height from being on the bottom and not having any 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 features an innovative frame that expands in width when you add a second child seat. It folds flat for storage that is compact. The padded straps, buckles, and seats are all of the best quality we have encountered in our tests. The canopy is large in size and UPF 50+ protection, as well as a the window is peekaboo. Both seats can be reclined independently.<br /><br />The only downside of the iCandy is that it's a bit expensive however, a good tandem will last a long time and maintain its resale value, which means you'll likely recoup some of the cost in the long run. The iCandy does not have the same seating options as our other top choices. However, it's an ideal choice for families who don't wish to spend much money.<br /><br />
