Seven Explanations On Why Tandem Double Buggy Is So Important

Buying a Tandem Double Buggy

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

Many transform into travel systems that include two carrycots or car seats. They can be heavier, longer and less stable than a single pushchair.

Convertible

There are many options for adding a second seat or making a single stroller a double. The UPPAbaby V2 is a large, beautiful stroller. It can be easily converted from a single to a double by adding a seating area with a rumble.  lightweight twin stroller  is more expensive and less maneuverable because the second seat is positioned on top of the first seat. The Nuna Demi Grow is a comparable model with a wide range of seating options, but lacks under-seat storage when used in doubles mode.

Other options include twin buggies that have all-terrain wheels and joggers with fixed wheels that can be used to carry two children. They are more expensive but they are designed for long trips on rough terrain, and come with more expensive resales.

Reclining the seat independently

If you're looking for a double stroller that will accommodate children of various age groups, you'll need one with independent seat recliner for both seats. This will allow your older child to relax while the baby is sleeping in a bassinet and vice versa.

Think about the size of your pushchair, as this will determine how easy it is for you to maneuver through doors and on public transportation. If your doors are narrow, you might be considering a side by side pushchair, such as the Mountain Buggy Duet. It has a footprint similar to a single stroller however it can accommodate two seats and car seat adaptors.

Tandem buggies tend to be larger than side-by-side models, making them more difficult to maneuver up and down kerbs. However they can also accommodate a wider range of combinations of car seats/car seats/seats and are the perfect choice for twins and siblings of various age. They are more expensive than single buggies to double however they're worth the cost if you plan on keeping it for many years. They will also retain a good amount of value if sold when your children have outgrown it.

Another important feature to look for is whether the seat backs are able to recline independently from one another since this will allow you to put your child in the best position for napping or observation. This is particularly important if you have a younger child in the rear seat who may prefer to lay back and relax while the older child would prefer to sit up and look around their surroundings.

Some brands have a unique design that allows the back of their vehicles to fully recline into a position that's almost flat, ideal for newborns. For example, the iCandy Orange has raised stadium-style seating and can recline the toddler seat that comes with it as well as the optional RumbleSeat to multiple positions, so that your children have a the option of deciding where to sit as well as providing an excellent UPF 50+ canopy that has peekaboo windows.

Wider than twin buggies

There's no need to have twins to benefit from a larger double buggy. They're great for siblings of various ages and allow you to move around without worrying about your children touching. They are usually a little more spacious, with one seat behind the other. The seats can be reclined completely for babies or placed in an upright position for toddlers.

A popular option is the Mountain Buggy Duet, which features the slimmest side-by-side design available and features an identical footprint to a single buggy. It also features an adjustable handle, making it easier for parents of various heights to push, and a handbrake that is helpful when climbing difficult terrains. It can be used from birth and is compatible with a range of car seats and carrycots, which means it is a great travel system.

The iCandy Wave is another option. It folds in either mono or duo mode with just one click. Its clever frame expands in width to accommodate the second chair and can be used up to two car seats or carrycots. This makes it a great choice for older siblings that wish to sit together. It's a bit larger than other models, but it still isn't heavy and has a soft suspension for the kerbs.

There are a lot of 3-wheeler inline tandems that are available - check out Phil and Teds inline models, or iCandy's Peach and Pear buggies for instance - which provide stability and quick steering. Most of them can be folded into the size of a single buggy which is useful for those who struggle with storage at home or need to lug it in and out of the boot on public transport.

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

From your birth, you are a suitable candidate

You'll need a pushchair for your entire family regardless of whether you're expecting twins or you have another child after you've had your first. Double buggies are typically heavier, bulkier, and more expensive than single strollers. However they are also more maneuverable in narrower doorways or around obstacles such as curbs. They are also compatible with piggyback ride-along boards (either from the manufacturer or via a separate accessory purchase) so you can transport three children at a time.

Tandem pushchairs seat one child in the front of the other, and they're usually a better option if you have two kids who are similar in age to be able to live well. They're not foolproof. Siblings who are sitting side-by-side could kick or punch each other and children of different heights may fight over who is sitting higher. A tandem high-low model could solve this issue by elevating the seat towards the rear, which prevents your child's older one from being sat on the bottom and not getting much of a view.

The iCandy Wave is a great option for parents looking for an easy-to-use convertible double buggy that can accommodate a newborn in a carrycot, and an older child in the main seat. It features a clever frame that expands in width when you add the second seat and folds down flat for compact storage. The padded straps, buckles, and seats are all of the highest quality we have encountered in our tests. The canopies are large in size with UPF 50+ protection, and a peekaboo window. Both seats can be reclined independently.

The only downside to the iCandy tandem is that it is quite expensive. But a high-quality tandem will last for years and retain the highest resale value, which means that in the end you'll likely recover a portion of the cost. The iCandy doesn't have the same seating arrangements as our other top picks. It's nevertheless an ideal choice for families who don't want to spend lots of cash.
