10 Locations Where You Can Find Tandem Double Buggy

Buying a Tandem Double Buggy

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

Many convert into travel systems that include two carrycots or car seats. However, they are heavier and longer than single pushchairs and may feel less stable as they bump up the kerbs.

Convertible

There are many options for adding a second seating or converting a single stroller to double. The UPPAbaby is a spacious, gorgeous stroller. It can easily be transformed from a single stroller to a dual by adding a rumble seat. It's costly and less mobile than other double strollers due to the fact that the second seat is placed in front of the front seat. Nuna Demi Grow is a similar model, but it lacks storage underneath the seat when it's used as a double stroller.

Other options include twin buggies with all-terrain wheels and joggers with fixed wheels that can be used to carry two children. They are generally more expensive, but they're made for long-distance trips over rough terrain and could have a higher resale value.

If you're looking for a double stroller which can accommodate children of various ages, you will need one with independent seat recliner for both seats. This will allow your child's older to relax in the back while the baby sleeps in the bassinet and the reverse.

Take into consideration the width of your pushchair and consider the ease of you to maneuver through doors and public transportation. If you have narrow doors, it may 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 take 2 seats and car seat adaptors.

Tandem buggies generally are a little longer than side-by-side models and therefore aren't difficult to maneuver through kerbs and up and down, but they can accommodate a wider range of car/car/seat combinations, and are a great option for twins or siblings of different age. These buggies are priced higher than single buggies to double, but they're worth it if you intend to keep it for a few years. They will also retain a good amount of value when sold once your children are old enough to use the buggie.

Another thing to look out for is if the seat backs are able to recline independently of one another since this will allow you to put your child in the most optimal position for naps or watching. This is essential when your child is in the back seat and wants to take a nap while the more mature child prefers to sit up to observe the surroundings.

Some brands have a unique design that allows the back seat of their vehicles to recline into a position that is almost flat, perfect for babies. For instance the iCandy Orange has raised stadium-style seating that can recline both the toddler seat included and the add-on RumbleSeat to multiple positions, so that your children have a a choice of where to sit, and also comes with an excellent UPF 50+ canopy that has peekaboo windows.

Larger than twin buggies

It's not necessary to have twins in order to benefit from a wider double buggy. They're perfect for siblings of different ages and allow you to get around without worrying about your children touching. They're typically a bit larger, with one seat sitting behind the other and with a fully-flat recline option for newborns (or an upright position for toddlers).

A popular choice is the Mountain Buggy Duet, which features the slimmest side-by-side design available and features an identical footprint to one buggy. It comes with an adjustable handle that makes it easier for parents to push and a handbrake that is helpful on steep hills. It is suitable for use from birth, and can be paired with a wide range of car seats and carrycots.

Another option is the iCandy Wave, which has an easy one-click fold and can be used in duo or mono mode. The clever frame expands in width to accommodate a second chair and can be used up to two car seats or carrycots. This makes it a fantastic choice for older siblings that want to be seated together. It's slightly longer than some other models, yet it's easy to steer and has soft suspension that is able to handle the kerbs.

There are also plenty of 3-wheeler inline tandems that are available Check out Phil and Teds inline models or iCandy's Peach and Pear buggies, for instance that offer stability and swift steering. They are often folded down to the size of one buggy, which is helpful when you have trouble storing it at home or frequently need to carry it in and out of the car when you travel on public transport.

Be aware that a double-wide buggy is more heavy and bulkier than a single compact buggy. Be sure to know what you want prior to making a purchase. It will be used on trains, buses, and subways frequently therefore it must be simple to use and manage. It is possible that you will need to move the car seat on and off when taking your child to school or to nursery.

From your birth, you are a good candidate

You'll need a stroller for your entire family, regardless of whether you're expecting twins or you have a second child after having your first. Double buggies tend to be heavier and bulkier, as well as more expensive than single strollers. However they are also more maneuverable in narrower doors, or around obstacles like curbs. Many are also compatible with piggyback ride-along boards (either from the manufacturer or via an additional accessory purchase) to allow you to transport three children at a time.

Tandem pushchairs place one child ahead of the other. They're a great option if your children are similar in age and are able to get along. But they're not completely safe: Siblings in side-by-side seats may punch or kick each other, and kids with different heights may argue over who should sit higher. A tandem high-low model can solve this problem by elevating the seat towards the rear, which prevents your child's older one from sitting on the bottom and not having any view.

The iCandy Wave is a great option for parents looking for an easy-to-use convertible double buggy that can fit a newborn into a carrycot, and an older child in the main seat. It features a smart frame that can be expanded in width when you add a second seat. It folds to flattish storage. The padded buckles, straps and seats are all of the highest quality we have encountered in our tests. You can recline both seats independently, and the canopies are spacious and large with UPF 50+ protection as well as windows that can be seen from a distance.

The only downside to the iCandy tandem is that it is a bit costly. But a high-quality tandem will last you for years and retain the highest resale value, so in the end you'll likely recover some of the cost. It also doesn't offer the same variety of seating configurations as the other top choices however the iCandy is a great choice for families that don't want to spend a lot.
