You'll Never Guess This Tandem Double Buggy's Tricks > 문의하기

Buying a Tandem Double Buggy

A tandem double buggy could be a fantastic option if you have twins, or children who are close in age. They're narrower than side-by-side buggies, and ideal for maneuvering tight spaces such as doorways, on public transport and on rough terrain.

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

Convertible

There are many options for adding a second seat or making a single stroller double. The UPPAbaby V2 is spacious, gorgeous stroller. It is easily converted from a single to a double by adding the seating area with a rumble. It is more expensive and less maneuverable due to the fact that the second seat is located on top of the first seat. Nuna Demi Grow offers a similar option but lacks storage under the seat when used as a double stroller.

Other options include all-terrain twin buggies as well as fixed-wheel joggers which can be used to accommodate two children. They are more expensive, but they are made for long-distance trips over rough terrain and have higher resale prices.

Independent recline of the seat

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

You'll also have to consider the width of the pushchair, as it will impact the ease of traverse doors and public transportation. If your doors are narrow, you might be considering a side by side pushchair like the Mountain Buggy Duet. It has a footprint that is similar to a single stroller but can still fit two seats and car seat adaptors.

Tandem buggies are usually a little longer than side-by-side models and therefore aren't difficult to maneuver up and down kerbs, 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 different ages. They can also be more expensive than single-to double stroller for twins buggies, but are a good purchase if you plan to keep it for many years and will retain a decent amount of resale value in the event that you sell it on when your children are out of it.

Another thing to look for is if the seat backs can recline independently from one another since this will allow you to place your child in the most optimal position to nap or observe. This is important if your child is in the back seat and wants to nap while the more mature child prefers to sit and observe the surroundings.

A few brands have an exclusive seat design that allows the back seat to fully recline into an almost flat position that is perfect for infants. For example the iCandy Orange has raised stadium-style seating that can recline both the toddler seat included and the add-on RumbleSeat into multiple positions to give your kids a the option of where they want to sit, as well as providing an excellent UPF 50+ canopy that has peekaboo windows.

Wider than twin buggies

It's not necessary to have twins to benefit from a wider double buggy. They're perfect for siblings of various age groups. They allow you to move around without having to worry about your children touching each other. They're typically a larger with one seat positioned behind 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 has the slimmest side-byside design available and features the same footprint as one buggy. It also has an adjustable handle, making it easier for parents of different heights to push as well as a handbrake, which can be useful when you have to climb difficult hills. It is suitable to use from birth and it can be combined with a variety of car seats and carrycots.

Another option is the iCandy Wave, which has the convenience of a single click to fold and is able to be used in mono or duo mode. Its clever frame can be expanded to accommodate an additional chair and can be used to accommodate up to two car seats or carrycots. This makes it a fantastic choice for older siblings that wish to be seated together. It's a little longer than other models, yet it's easy to steer and has soft suspension that is able to handle the kerbs.

There are also a variety of 3-wheeler inline tandems available - check out Phil and Teds' inline models or iCandy's Peach and Pear buggies, for example - which offer stability and swift steering. They are often folded down to size one buggie which is useful when you have trouble storing it at home or need to transport it into and out of the boot when you travel on public transportation.

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

From your birth, you are a suitable candidate

You'll need a pushchair for the whole family, whether you're expecting twins, or if you have a child after you've had your first. Double buggies are generally larger, heavier and cost more than single strollers, but they are also easier to manoeuvre in narrower entrances or around obstacles like curbs. Many are also compatible with piggyback ride-along boards (either from the manufacturer or via a separate accessory purchase) to allow you to transport three children at once.

Tandem pushchairs seat one child in front of the other, so they're often a better choice when you have two children who are similar in age to be able to live well. But they're not foolproof Siblings in a side-by-side seat can kick or punch one another, and children with different heights may argue over who sits higher. A tandem high-low model can solve this problem by elevating the seat towards the rear, which prevents your older child from sitting on the bottom and not having any view.

The iCandy Wave is a great alternative for parents who want an easy-to-use convertible double buggy that can accommodate a newborn in a carrycot, and an older child in the main seat. It has an innovative frame that expands in width when you add the second child seat. It also folds flat for compact storage. The cushioned seats are comfortable, the straps are simple to secure and the buckles some of the best we've seen on any of our tests. The canopies have a generous size with UPF 50+ protection, as well as a peekaboo window. Both seats can recline independently.

The only downside of the iCandy is that it's a little expensive, but a quality tandem will last for years and maintain its resale value, which means you'll probably recoup some of the cost over the long term. The iCandy doesn't have the same seating arrangements as our other top choices. It's nevertheless an ideal choice for families who don't want to spend lots of money.
