Buying a tandem double buggy (https://www.google.co.ao)

A tandem double buggy can be a great choice if you have twins, or children who are close in age. They are a bit smaller than side by side buggies and are perfect for tight spaces like doors, public transport and rough terrain.

Some can be converted to travel systems that take two carrycots or car seats for children. They are often heavier, longer and less stable than a single pushchair.

Convertible

Whether you're looking for a convertible stroller that can be converted from a single to a double stroller sale or to add another seat to an existing one, there are many options to choose from. The Vista V2 from UPPAbaby is big, beautiful stroller that can easily be converted from a single model to a double by incorporating the rumble seat (available separately). It's costly and less mobile than other double strollers due to the fact that the second seat is located behind the front seat. Nuna Demi Grow offers a similar option, but it lacks storage underneath the seat when used as a double stroller.

Other alternatives include all-terrain twin buggies as well as fixed-wheel joggers which can be used to accommodate two children. They are generally more expensive, however they're designed to last longer on rough terrain and could have a higher resale value.

Independent seat recline

If you're looking for a double buggy that is able to transport children of different age groups, then you'll want one that has recline that is independent for both seats. This allows your child of a higher age to rest in the back while the baby is in the bassinet, and vice versa.

Think about the width of your stroller and consider how easy it is for you to get through doors and public transport. If you have extremely narrow doors, it may be a good idea to consider a side-byside pushchair like 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.

Tandem buggies are generally smaller than side-byside models and so aren't as difficult to maneuver up and down kerbs, but they can accommodate a wider range of car seat/car seat combinations, and are a great option for twins or siblings of various ages. They also tend to be more expensive than single-to double buggies, but are a good investment if you intend to keep it for many years and will retain a decent amount of resale value if you decide to sell it off when your children are out of it.

Another crucial thing to look for is if the seat backs can recline independently of one another because this allows you to put your child in the most optimal position to nap or observe. This is especially important when you have a child younger than in the rear seat who will prefer to lay back and take a snooze while the older child would prefer to sit and observe their surroundings.

A few brands have an exclusive seat design that allows the back seat to completely recline into a nearly flat position that is perfect for infants. For instance, the iCandy Orange has raised stadium-style seating that can recline both the toddler seat that comes with it and the additional RumbleSeat into various positions so that your children have a the option of where they want to sit and also comes with an excellent UPF 50+ canopy with windows that can be seen from afar.

More spacious than twin buggies

They are ideal for siblings of different age groups, and you can move around without having to worry about your children touching. They're typically a more spacious with one seat in front of the other. The seats can be reclined completely for infants, or put in an upright position for toddlers.

A popular choice is the Mountain Buggy Duet, which features the slimmest side-by-side design on the market and has the same footprint as a single and double stroller buggy. It features an adjustable handle that makes it easier for parents to push, and a handbrake which is helpful on steep hills. It can be used from birth and is compatible with a variety of car seats and carrycots, which means it makes an excellent travel system.

The iCandy Wave is another option. It folds in mono or duo mode with just one click. The clever frame expands to accommodate the second hand double buggy chair and can be used with up to two car seats or carrycots. This makes it a fantastic choice for older siblings that want to sit together. It's a little longer than other models, yet it's easy to steer and has soft suspension to tackle the kerbs.

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

Be aware that a two-wheeled buggy is heavier and more bulkier than a single compact buggy. Make sure you know what you want prior to making a buy. It will be used on trains, buses and subways frequently, therefore it must be simple to manage and use. You may also need to juggle it onto and off the car seat while taking your children to school or nursery so you'll need to know it can be easily manoeuvred in small spaces.

The best time to start is when you are born.

You'll need a pushchair for your entire family whether you're expecting twins or you have another child after having your first. double umbrella stroller buggies tend to be heavier and bulkier, as well as more expensive than single strollers. However they are also more maneuverable in narrower doorways, or around obstacles like curbs. Many double buggies are compatible with piggyback boards (available from the manufacturer or as an add-on). This lets you transport three children at once.

Tandem pushchairs seat one child in the front of the other, so they're generally a better option for families with two children who are similar in age to be able to live well together. However, they're not 100% secure: Siblings in side-by-side seats could kick or punch each other, and kids with different heights may argue over who gets to sit higher. A tandem high-low model is able to solve this issue by elevating the seat towards the rear, which will prevent your child's height from sitting on the bottom and not having any view.

The iCandy Wave is a good alternative for parents looking for a convertible lightweight double stroller buggy with a carrycot that can fit both infants and an older child. It has an intelligent frame that increases in size when you add the second child seat. It also folds flat to make it a compact storage. The cushioned buckles, straps and seats are all of the highest quality we have seen in any of our tests. You can recline both seats independently and the canopies are big and spacious with UPF 50+ protection and windows that can be seen from a distance.

The only downside to the iCandy tandem is that it's quite expensive. However, a good tandem will last you for many years and have the highest resale value, which means that in the end you'll probably recoup some of the cost. It doesn't come with the same variety of seating options as some of our other top picks however the iCandy is a good choice for families that don't want to spend a fortune.
