Buying a Tandem Double Buggy

If you have twins or children close in age, a tandem thule double stroller (super fast reply) buggy is a fantastic option. They're narrower than side-by-side buggies and are ideal for maneuvering tight spaces such as entrances, on public transportation and on rocky terrain.

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

Convertible

If you're looking for a convertible single-to-double stroller or want to add a second seat to an existing one, there's a variety of options available. The UPPAbaby Vista V2 is a big, beautiful stroller that converts easily from a single stroller to a double single pushchair by incorporating the rumble seat (available separately). However, it's expensive and less mobile than other double strollers because the 2nd seat is placed to the left of the front seat. The Nuna Demi Grow is a similar model with great seating flexibility, however it does not have storage under the seat when used in doubles mode.

Other alternatives include twin buggies with all-terrain wheels as well as joggers that have fixed wheels that can hold two kids. They are more expensive however, they are designed to last longer on rough terrain, and come with higher resale prices.

Independent seat recline

If you need a double buggy that is able to carry children of different ages then you're going to require a model with an recline that is independent for both seats. This allows your child of a higher age to sit back and relax while the baby is in the bassinet, and the reverse.

You'll also need to consider the width of the stroller as this will affect the ease of navigate through doors and on public transportation. If your doors are narrow, you may want to consider a side-by-side pushchair like the Mountain Buggy Duet. It has a footprint similar to a single stroller, but can still fit two seats and car seat adaptors.

Tandem buggies generally are slightly longer than side-by-side models, and aren't as difficult to maneuver through kerbs and up and down, however they can be able to accommodate a wider range of car/car/seat combinations, and are a great option for twins or siblings of various ages. They can also be more expensive than single-to double buggies, but are a worthwhile purchase if you plan to keep it for years and will retain a decent amount of resale value in the event that you decide to sell it off when your children are out of it.

This feature allows you to put your child in the most comfortable position for naps and observation. This is particularly important if you have a young child in the rear seat, who will want to lie back and sleep while the older child wants to sit and observe their surroundings.

Some brands have a unique design that allows the back of their vehicles to fully recline to a position that is almost flat, ideal for babies. For example, the iCandy Orange has raised stadium-style seating and can recline both the toddler seat included as well as the optional RumbleSeat into multiple positions so your kids can have the option of deciding where to sit, as well as offering an excellent UPF 50+ canopy with windows that can be seen from afar.

Larger than twin buggies

They are perfect for siblings of different age groups, and they allow you to move about without having to worry about your children touching. They're usually a more spacious with one seat in front of the other. The seats can be reclined fully 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 one buggy. It also comes with an adjustable handle, which makes it easy for parents of different heights to push as well as a handbrake that is useful when tackling difficult hills. It can be used from birth and is compatible with a variety of car seats and carrycots, meaning it is a great travel system.

The iCandy Wave is another option. It can be folded in mono or duo mode in a single click. The clever frame expands to accommodate a second chair and can be used up to two car seats or carrycots. This makes it an ideal option for older siblings who wish to be seated together. It's slightly longer than some other models, but it's light to steer and comes with soft suspension to tackle the kerbs.

There are also plenty of 3-wheeler inline tandems available - check out Phil and Teds inline models, or iCandy's Peach and Pear buggies for instance that provide stability and swift steering. They are often folded into one buggy if you are limited in space at home or you need to transport it from the car to the bus station.

It's important to keep in mind that a wide double buggy will be heavier and bulkier than a single buggy that is smaller, so make sure it's what you require before you buy. It will be used on buses, trains and subways often, so it should be easy to use and manage. It is possible that you will need to move the car seat when you take your child to school or the nursery.

Suitable from birth

Whether you're expecting twins or have another child after your first, you're likely to require a pushchair that fits the whole family. Double buggies tend to be heavier and bulkier as well as more expensive than single strollers. However they are much more maneuverable in tighter doorways and around obstacles such as curbs. Many lightest double stroller buggies are compatible with piggyback boards (available from the manufacturer or as an accessory). This allows you to carry three children simultaneously.

Tandem pushchairs seat one child in the front of the other, so they're generally a better option when you have two children who are similar in age to get along well together. They're not 100% secure. Siblings who are sitting side-by-side could kick or punch each other and children of different heights can fight over who sits taller. A tandem high-low model is able to solve this problem by elevating the seat at the rear, which prevents your older child from being on the bottom and not having the best lightweight double stroller view.

The iCandy Wave is a great alternative for parents who want an easy-to-use convertible double buggy that can fit both a newborn in a carrycot, and an older child in the main seat. It has a clever frame that expands widthways when you add the second seat, and folds flat to make it a compact storage. The cushioned buckles, straps and seats are all of the best quality we have encountered in our tests. Both seats can recline independently and the canopies are big and spacious with UPF 50+ protection as well as windows that peek out.

The only downside to the iCandy tandem is that it is a bit expensive. However, a good tandem will last for many years and have a high resale price, which means that in the end you'll probably recoup a portion of the cost. It also doesn't offer the same selection of seating configurations that others of our top choices however the iCandy is a good option for families that don't want to shell out a lot of money.
