Buying a Tandem Double Buggy

A tandem double buggy could be a great option when you have twins or children who are close in age. They're smaller than side-by-side buggies and are ideal for maneuvering narrow spaces like doors, on public transport and on rocky terrain.

Some can be converted into travel systems that use two carrycots or child car seats. However, they are heavier and longer than single pushchairs and may feel less stable bumping up kerbs.

Convertible

There are many options for adding a second seating or changing a single stroller into double. The Vista V2 from UPPAbaby is a big, beautiful stroller that easily converts from a single stroller to a double by incorporating the rumble seat (available separately). However, it's pricey and less maneuverable than other dual strollers since the second seat is located to the left of the front seat. Nuna Demi Grow is a similar model but lacks storage under the seat when it is used as a double stroller.

Other options include twin buggies that have all terrain double buggy-terrain wheels as well as joggers that have fixed wheels that can be used to carry two kids. These tend to be more expensive, but they're made for long trips over rough terrain and could have more resale value.

Reclining seat recline independently

This feature allows you to put your child in an ideal position for naps and observation. This is especially important when you have a younger child in the rear seat who will prefer to lay back and relax while the older child would prefer to sit up and observe their surroundings.

Some brands have a unique design that allows the back of their vehicles to fully recline to a position that is nearly flat, which is ideal for babies. For example the iCandy Orange has raised stadium-style seating that can recline both the included toddler seat and the add-on RumbleSeat to multiple positions, so your kids can have the option of deciding where to sit, as well as providing an excellent UPF 50+ canopy with windows that peek out.

From birth, you're an ideal candidate

If you're expecting twins, or have another child after your first, you're likely need to find an appropriate pushchair for the whole family.

Tandem pushchairs place one child in front of the other. They're a good option for children who are of similar ages and get along well. They're not 100% secure. Siblings seated side-by-side may kick or punch each other and children with different heights may fight over who sits higher. This problem can be solved by a tandem high-low model that elevates the seat in the back. Your child's older isn't seated at the lowest part of the car and won't have much of an opportunity to see.

It doesn't come with the same variety of seating configurations that others of our top choices however, the iCandy is a good choice for families that don't want to spend a lot.
