Buying a Tandem Double Buggy

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

Some are able to be converted into travel systems that can take two carrycots or car seats for children. However, they can be heavier and longer than single pushchairs, and may feel less stable in bumping up kerbs.

Convertible

If you're looking for a convertible single-to-double stroller or want to add another seat to an existing one, there's several options available. The UPPAbaby V2 is a spacious, gorgeous stroller. It can be easily changed from a single to a double by adding an seating area with a rumble. However, it's expensive and less mobile than other double strollers because the 2nd seat goes in front of the front seat. Nuna Demi Grow is a similar model, but it lacks storage under the seat when it is used as a double stroller.

Other options include all-terrain twin stroller side by side buggies, as well as fixed-wheel joggers that can hold two children. They are generally more expensive, however they're designed for long trips over rough terrain and can have more resale value.

Independent seat recline

If you want a double stroller which can accommodate children of various age groups, you'll require one with an independent recliner for both seats. This allows your child of a higher age to be able to relax while your baby is in a bassinet, and reverse.

It is also important to consider the width of the pushchair as this will impact how easy it is to navigate through doors and on public transportation. If your doors are narrow, you may be considering a side by side pushchair, such as the Mountain Buggy Duet. It has a footprint similar to a single stroller but it can accommodate two seats and car seat adaptors.

Tandem buggies are generally larger than side-by-side models, and therefore are more difficult to maneuver up and down kerbs. However they can be able to accommodate more combinations of car seats, carrycots and seats and are a great option for twins and siblings of various age. They are also more expensive than single-to-double buggies but they're well worth the cost if you plan to keep it for a number of years. They'll also keep a good amount of value if sold when your children are old enough to use it.

This feature allows you to place your child in the most comfortable position for naps or to observe. This is essential for children who are in the back seat and would like to rest while the older child prefers to sit up and observe the surrounding.

Certain brands have a unique design that allows the back seat of their vehicles to fully recline into a position that is almost flat, perfect for infants. The iCandy Orange, for example has a stadium-style seating option that can be reclined in several positions. It also offers UPF 50+ canopy and peekaboo windows.

More spacious than twin buggies

They are great for siblings with different age groups, and you can get around without worrying about your children touching. They are usually a little larger with one seat in front of the other. The seats can be reclined completely for newborns or in an upright position for toddlers.

Mountain Buggy Duet is a popular choice. It has the slimmest design that is side-by-side and a footprint that is comparable to the footprint of a single stroller. It comes with an adjustable handle that makes it easier for parents to push and a handbrake, which is useful on steep hills. It is suitable to use from birth and it can be combined with a wide range of car seats and carrycots.

Another option is the iCandy Wave, which has the convenience of a single click to fold and can be used in mono or duo mode. Its innovative frame expands widthways to accommodate a second chair and it can be used with up to two carrycots or car seats making it a great choice for older siblings who want to sit together and share the view. It's a bit longer than other models, but it's light to steer and has soft suspension that is able to handle kerbs.

There are a variety of 3-wheeler tandems with inline tires that offer stability and quick steering. Take a look at Phil and Teds inline models, or iCandy Peach and Pear buggies. Often these can be folded down to the size of one buggie, which is helpful for those who struggle with storage at home or have to lug it in and out of the boot on public transport.

Be aware that a two-wheeled buggy will be more heavy and more bulkier than one that is compact. Make sure you know what you want before you buy. You'll have to get it on and off subways, trains and buses frequently, so it must be easy to use and manage. You may also have to move it on and off the car seat while taking your children to school or nursery so you'll need to be aware it can be easily manoeuvred within small spaces.

From your birth, you are a good candidate

Whether you're expecting twins or you have a child following your first, you're likely to need to find a stroller that can accommodate the entire family. Double buggies are typically heavier, bulkier, and more expensive than single strollers. However, they are more maneuverable in tighter doorways or around obstacles such as curbs. Many are also compatible with piggyback ride-along boards (either from the manufacturer or as an additional accessory purchase) so you can transport three children at a time.

Tandem pushchairs put one child in front the other. They are a good option for children who are of similar ages and get along well. But they're not foolproof: Siblings in side-by-side seats may punch or kick each other, and children on different heights can squabble over who should sit higher. This issue can be addressed by a tandem high-low model that elevates the seat at the rear. Your child's older one will not be sitting at the bottom of the car and won't be able to get a look out.

The iCandy Wave is a great choice for parents looking for 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 features a clever frame which increases in size when you add a second child seat. It also folds flat for compact storage. The cushioned buckles, straps and seats are all of the highest quality we have encountered in our testing. The canopies have a generous size, UPF 50+ protection, and a windows that peek out. Both seats can be reclined independently.

The only drawback to the iCandy tandem is that it's a bit costly. However, a quality tandem will last for years and retain a high resale price, so at the end of the day you'll likely recover some of the cost. It doesn't have the same variety of seating configurations that some of our other top picks however, the iCandy is a great choice for families who don't wish to spend a fortune.
