Buying a Tandem Double Buggy (Www.Luoxiaojiao.Com)

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

Some can be converted to travel systems that can take two carrycots or child car seats. However, they can be heavier and longer than single pushchairs, and might feel less stable when in bumping up the kerbs.

Convertible

There are many options for adding a second seating or making a single stroller a double tandem pushchair. The UPPAbaby V2 is a large, beautiful stroller. It can be easily transformed from a single stroller to a double by adding an Rumble seat. It is more expensive and less maneuverable due to the fact that the second seat is placed on top of the first seat. Nuna Demi Grow provides a similar choice but lacks storage underneath the seat when it is used as a double stroller.

Other alternatives include twin stroller with car seats buggies with all-terrain wheels and joggers with fixed wheels that can accommodate two children. They are generally more expensive but they're designed for long trips over rough terrain and could have more resale value.

Independent seat recline

If you require a best double stroller buggy that is able to transport children of different ages, you'll want one that has independent seat recline for both seats. This will allow your older child to be able to relax while your baby is sleeping in a bassinet and vice versa.

It is also important to think about the size of the pushchair, as this will affect how easy it is to navigate through doors and on public transport. If your doors are narrow, you may want to consider a side by side pushchair such as the Mountain Buggy Duet. It has a footprint that is similar to a single stroller but can still fit two seats and car seat adaptors.

Tandem buggies are generally larger than side-by-side models, which makes them more difficult to maneuver around and down kerbs. However they can be able to accommodate more combinations of car seats, carrycots and seats and can make the perfect choice for twins and siblings of different age. They are also more expensive than single-to-double infant strollers buggies but are worth the purchase if you plan to keep it for many years and will have a decent amount of resale value should you sell it on when your children are out of it.

This feature will allow you to place your child in the most comfortable position for naps or to observe. This is important when your child is in the back seat and wants to rest while the more mature child prefers to sit up to observe the surrounding.

Some brands have a unique design that allows the back of their vehicles to recline fully into a position that's almost flat, perfect for infants. For example, the iCandy Orange has raised stadium-style seating and can recline the included toddler seat as well as the optional RumbleSeat into various positions to give your kids a a choice of where they will sit, as well as offering an excellent UPF 50+ canopy that has peekaboo windows.

Wider than twin buggies

You don't need to have twins to benefit from a larger double buggy - they're ideal for siblings of various ages and allow you to move around without worrying about your children touching. They're usually a bit larger too with one seat placed behind the other and providing a flat recline for newborns (or a more upright position for toddlers).

Mountain Buggy Duet is a popular choice. It is the slimmest design of the two-in-ones 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 which is useful on steep hills. It can be used from birth and is compatible with a range of car seats and carrycots. This means it's a great travel system.

The iCandy Wave is another option. It folds in duo or mono mode with just one click. The clever frame expands in width to accommodate a second chair and can be used with up to two car seats or carrycots. This makes it an ideal choice for older siblings that wish to sit together. It's a little longer than other models but still feels light to steer and has soft suspension to tackle kerbs.

There are a variety of 3-wheeler tandems that have inline wheels that provide stability and fast steering. Check out Phil and Teds inline models, or iCandy Peach and Pear buggies. Often these can be folded into the size of a single buggy, which is helpful when you have trouble storing it at home or need to transport it into and out of your car when you travel on public transport.

Be aware that a double wide buggy will be heavier and heavier than one that is compact. Be sure to know what you want prior to making a buy. You'll need to take it on and off trains, buses and subways regularly so it needs to be easy to operate and manage. It is possible that you will need to move the car seat when you take your child to school or the nursery.

From birth, you are a good candidate

You'll need a pushchair for your entire family, whether you're expecting twins or you have a second child after having your first. Double buggies are typically a bit heavier, bulkier and cost more than single strollers, however they are also easier to manoeuvre in narrower doorways or around obstacles like curbs. They are also compatible with piggyback ride-along boards (either from the manufacturer or via an additional accessory purchase) which means you can carry three children at the same time.

Tandem pushchairs place one child in front of the other. They're a good option for children who are close in age and get along well. They're not 100% secure. Siblings seated side-by-side may punch or kick each other, and children of different heights can fight over who sits taller. This problem can be solved by a tandem high-low model that elevates the seat to the back. Your child's older will not be sitting at the bottom of the car and won't be able to get an opportunity to see.

The iCandy Wave is a good choice for parents looking for a convertible double buggy with a carrycot that can accommodate both infants and an older child. It has an innovative frame that expands in width when you add a second child seat. It can also fold flat for storage that is compact. The cushioned buckles, straps and seats are all of the highest quality we have encountered in our testing. The seats can be reclined independently and the canopies are 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 costly. However, a quality tandem will last you for many years and have an attractive resale value so in the end you'll likely recover some of the cost. The iCandy does not have the same seating arrangements as our other top choices. However, it's an excellent choice for families that don't want spend a lot of money.
