Buying a Tandem Double Buggy

A tandem double buggy (sneak a peek at this website) could be a great choice when you have twins or children who are very close in age. They are narrower than side by side buggies and are great for narrow spaces like doorways, public transport and rough terrain.

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

Convertible

There are a variety of options for adding a second seating or making a single stroller double. The UPPAbaby Vista V2 is a spacious, gorgeous stroller that can easily be converted from a single model to double buggy travel system by incorporating the rumble seat (available separately). It is more expensive and less maneuverable since the second seat is placed in front of the first seat. Nuna Demi Grow offers a similar option, but it lacks storage underneath the seat when it is used as a double running stroller stroller.

Other options include all-terrain twin buggies, as well as fixed-wheel joggers which can be used to accommodate two children. These are more expensive, however, they are designed for long trips on rough terrain and come with higher resale prices.

Independent seat recline

Tandem buggies are usually slightly longer than side-by-side models and therefore aren't easy to manoeuvre around kerbs but they can accommodate a bigger range of car seat/car seat combinations, and are a great option for twins or siblings of different age.

The iCandy Orange, for example, has stadium-style seating that can be reclined into various positions. It also offers UPF 50+ canopy and peekaboo windows.

More spacious than twin buggies

There are many 3-wheeler tandems that have inline wheels that offer stability and swift steering. Take a look at Phil and Teds inline models as well as iCandy Peach and Pear buggies. Often these can be folded down to the size of one buggie, which is helpful if you struggle with storage at home or frequently need to lug it in and out of the car on public transportation.

From your birth, you are an ideal candidate

You'll need a stroller for your entire family whether you're expecting twins, or you have a second child after having your first.

Tandem pushchairs place one child in front of the other, and they're often a better choice if you have two kids who are similar in age to get along well together. But they're not completely safe: Siblings in side-by-side seats could kick or punch one another, and children on different heights can squabble over who sits higher. This issue can be resolved by a tandem high-low model that raises the seat at the back. 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.

It also doesn't offer the same variety of seating options as the other top picks, but the iCandy is a good choice for families who don't want to spend a fortune.
