Buying a Tandem lightweight double pushchair Buggy

If you have twins or children very close in age, a tandem lightweight double stroller buggie is a great option. They are a bit smaller than side-by-side buggies and are perfect for narrow spaces like doors, public transport and rough terrain.

Some transform into travel systems that take 2 carrycots or car seats. However, they can be heavier and longer than single to double Buggy pushchairs, and may not be as stable when as they bump up the kerbs.

Convertible

There are a variety of options for adding a second seat or making a single stroller double. The Vista V2 from UPPAbaby is spacious, gorgeous stroller that can easily be converted from a single to double by adding the rumble seating (available separately). It's costly and less maneuverable than other dual strollers due to the fact that the second seat is placed behind the front seat. The Nuna Demi Grow is a comparable model with great seating flexibility, however it lacks under-seat storage when used in doubles mode.

Other alternatives include all-terrain twin buggies and fixed-wheel joggers that can accommodate two children. They are generally more expensive, however they're designed for long-distance trips over rough terrain and could have a higher resale value.

Independent recline of the seat

If you require a double buggy to carry children of different age groups, then you'll require a model with an recline that is independent for both seats. This allows your older child to be able to relax while your baby is sleeping in a bassinet and vice versa.

Think about the size of your pushchair to determine the ease of you to navigate through doors and public transport. If you have extremely narrow doors, it may be worth considering a side-by-side pushchair such as the Mountain Buggy Duet which has the advantage of having a footprint similar to a single buggy, however it can use two seats and car seat adaptors.

Tandem buggies are usually slightly longer than side-by-side models and so aren't as easy to manoeuvre around kerbs however, they can accommodate a wider variety of seat/carrycot/car seat combinations and are a great option for twins or siblings of different ages. They also tend to be more expensive than single-to double tandem pushchair buggies, but are a worthwhile purchase if you plan to keep it for a long time and will have a decent amount of resale value should you decide to sell it off after your children have grown out of it.

This feature will allow you to put your child in a comfortable position for naps and observation. This is essential when your child is in the back seat and wishes to take a nap while the child in the front prefers to sit up and observe the surroundings.

A few brands have an exclusive seat design that allows the back seat to completely recline into an almost flat position that is perfect for infants. For instance, the iCandy Orange has raised stadium-style seating and can recline the included toddler seat and the additional RumbleSeat to multiple positions, to give your kids a the option of deciding where to sit as well as providing an excellent UPF 50+ canopy with windows that can be seen from afar.

Larger than twin buggies

You don't need to have twins to benefit from a larger double buggy. They're perfect for siblings of various ages and allow you to get around without worrying about your children touching. They're typically a bit longer too with one seat placed behind the other, and typically providing a flat recline for babies (or an upright position for toddlers).

Mountain Buggy Duet is a popular choice. It is the tiniest design that is side-by-side 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 that can be useful on hills that are steep. It is suitable from birth and is compatible with a range of car seats and carrycots, meaning it's a great travel system.

The iCandy Wave is another option. It can be folded in mono or duo mode in a single click. The frame's clever design expands in width to accommodate an additional chair and can be used with up to two car seats or carrycots. This makes it an ideal choice for older siblings that would like to sit together. It's a little bigger than the other models, but it feels light and has a comfortable suspension for kerbs.

There are a variety of 3-wheeler tandems with inline wheels that provide stability and fast steering. Take a look at Phil and Teds inline models as well as iCandy Peach and Pear buggies. Most of them can be folded into the size of a single buggy, which is helpful if you struggle with storage at home or have to carry it in and out of the car when you travel on public transportation.

Be aware that a two-wheeled buggy will be more heavy and bulkier than a single compact buggy. Be sure you know what you want prior to making a purchase. You'll be taking it off and on subways, buses, and trains regularly so it needs to 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 nursery.

From birth

There will be a need for a pushchair for your entire family, whether you're expecting twins, or you have another child after you've had your first. Double buggies are generally heavier and bulkier as well as more expensive than single strollers. However they are much more maneuverable in tighter doors or around obstacles such as curbs. They are also compatible with piggyback ride-along boards (either from the manufacturer or as an accessory purchase) which means you can carry three children at a time.

Tandem pushchairs put one child in front of the other. They're a good choice if your children are close in age and are able to get along. However, they're not 100% secure Side-by-side chairs could kick or punch one another, and children with different heights may argue over who should sit higher. This issue can be resolved by a tandem high-low model that elevates the seat in the back. Your older child will not be seated on the lowest part of the car and won't be able to get an eye.

The iCandy Wave is a good option for parents who are looking for a convertible double buggy with a carrycot that can fit both the newborn and the older child. It features a smart frame that expands in width when you add the second seat and folds down flat for compact twin stroller storage. The padded straps, buckles, and seats are all of the best double buggy quality we have seen in our testing. The canopies have a generous size, UPF 50+ protection, and a windows that peek out. Both seats can recline independently.

The only downside of the iCandy is that it's a bit expensive, but a quality tandem will last a long time and will retain its resale value. So you'll probably get back some of the cost in the long run. The iCandy does not have the same seating configurations as our other top selections. However, it's an ideal choice for families who don't want to spend lots of money.
