Buying double buggy for twins If you have twins or children close in age, a tandem double buggy is a great option. They are a bit smaller than side-by-side buggies and are ideal for narrow spaces like doors, public transport, and rocky terrain. Many convert into travel systems to use two carrycots or car seats. They are typically heavier, longer and less stable than a single pushchair. Convertible Whether you're looking for a convertible single-to-double stroller or want to add a second seat to an existing one, there are a variety of options available. The Vista V2 from UPPAbaby is a large, gorgeous stroller that easily converts from a single to double by incorporating the rumble seat (available separately). It is more expensive and less maneuverable because the second seat is located behind the first seat. The Nuna Demi Grow is a similar model with a wide range of seating options, but does not have storage under the seat when used in doubles mode. Other alternatives include all-terrain twin buggies and fixed-wheel joggers that can hold two children. They are more expensive, but they are made to last longer on rough terrain and come with a higher resale price. Reclining the seat independently If you're looking for a double buggy that is able to carry children of different ages, you'll require a model with an recline that is independent for both seats. This allows your child of a higher age to be able to relax while your baby is in the bassinet, and reverse. It is also important to think about the size of the pushchair, as this will impact how easy it is to traverse doors and public transportation. If you have extremely narrow doors, it could be a good idea to consider a side-byside pushchair such as the Mountain Buggy Duet which has the advantage of having a footprint similar to a single buggy however, it is able to take 2 seats and car seat adaptors. Tandem buggies are usually a little longer than side-by-side models and so aren't as difficult to maneuver through kerbs and up and down, but they can accommodate a bigger range of car/car/seat combinations, making them a good option for twins or siblings of various age. These buggies are priced higher than single buggies to double however they're worth it if you intend on keeping it for many years. They also hold some value if sold when your kids have outgrown the buggie. Another crucial thing to look for is if the seat backs are able to recline independently from one another since this will allow you to place your child in the best position for napping or observation. This is crucial for children who are in the back seat and would like to take a nap while the older child prefers to sit up and observe the surrounding. Some brands feature an exclusive seat design that allows the back seat to fully recline to an almost flat position that is perfect for babies. The iCandy Orange, for example is a stadium-style seat that can be reclined to multiple positions. It also has a UPF 50+ canopy and peekaboo windows. Wider than twin buggies There's no need to have twins in order to benefit from a larger double buggy – they're ideal for siblings of various age groups and let you move 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 fully for newborns or in an upright position for toddlers. Mountain Buggy Duet is a popular option. It is the tiniest design side-by-side on the market and a footprint that is comparable to a single stroller. It features an adjustable handle that makes it easier for parents to push and a handbrake that is helpful on steep hills. It is suitable for use right from birth, and can be used with a wide range of car seats and carrycots. Another alternative is the iCandy Wave, which has an easy one-click fold and can be utilized in a duo or mono mode. Its clever frame expands in width to accommodate a second chair and can be used with up to two car seats or carrycots. This makes it an ideal choice for older siblings that wish to be seated together. It's slightly longer than some other models, yet it's light to steer and comes with soft suspension that can handle kerbs. There are many 3-wheeler tandems with inline wheels that offer stability and quick steering. Check out Phil and Teds inline models or iCandy Peach and Pear buggies. Most of them can be folded down to the size of a single buggy which is useful if you struggle with storage at home or frequently need to transport it into and out of the car when you travel on public transportation. Be aware that a double-wide buggy is heavier and more bulkier than one that is compact. Be sure you know what you want before you purchase. You'll have to get it on and off subways, trains and buses often, so it should be easy to use and manage. It is possible that you will need to move the car seat on and off when taking your child to school or to nursery. Suitable from birth If you're expecting twins or have another child after your first, you're going to require a stroller that can accommodate the entire family. Double buggies are generally slightly heavier, bulkier and cost more than single strollers, however they can also be easier to maneuver in narrower doorways or around obstacles such as curbs. Many are also compatible with piggyback ride-along boards (either from the manufacturer or via an additional accessory purchase) to allow you to transport three children at a time. Tandem pushchairs put one child in front of the other, and they're generally a better option when you have two children who are close enough in age to function well together. They're not foolproof. Siblings sitting side-by-side can kick or punch each other and children of different heights can fight over who sits taller. This issue can be addressed by a tandem high-low model that elevates the seat to the rear. Your child's older will not be seated on the lower part of the car, and won't have much of a look out. The iCandy Wave is a great choice for parents looking for an easy-to-use convertible double buggy that can fit a newborn into a carrycot as well as an older child in the main seat. It features a smart frame that can be expanded in width when you add the second seat. It folds flat for compact storage. The padded buckles, straps and seats are all of the best quality we have encountered in any of our tests. The canopy is large in size with UPF 50+ protection, as well as a the window is peekaboo. Both seats can recline independently. The only downside to the iCandy tandem is that it is a bit costly. But a high-quality tandem will last for many years and have an attractive resale value so in the end you'll likely recover a portion of the cost. It doesn't come with the same selection of seating options as some of our other top picks however, the iCandy is a good option for families who don't want to spend a fortune.
