Buying a Tandem smallest double buggy, images.google.com.gt, Buggy

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

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

Convertible

There are a variety of options for adding a second seat or making a single stroller a double. The Vista V2 from UPPAbaby is a big, beautiful stroller that can easily be converted from a single model to a double by adding the rumble seat (available separately). It's costly and less mobile than other double strollers since the second seat is located behind the front seat. The Nuna Demi Grow is a similar option with great seating flexibility, however it does not have storage under the seat when used in doubles mode.

Other options include all-terrain twin buggy buggies, as well as fixed-wheel joggers that can hold two children. They are more expensive but they are designed for long-distance trips over rough terrain, and come with a higher resale price.

Reclining the seat independently

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

Think about the width of your pushchair to determine how easy it is for you to maneuver through doors and on public transport. If you have extremely narrow doorways then it might be worth considering a side-by-side pushchair such as the Mountain Buggy Duet which has the benefit of having a footprint similar to a single buggy however, it is able to use two seats and car seat adaptors.

Tandem buggies are typically larger than side-by-side models, which makes them more difficult to maneuver around and down kerbs. However they can be able to accommodate more combinations of seats/carrycots/car seats and can make an excellent choice for twins and siblings of various age groups. They also tend to be more expensive than single-to-double buggies but are worth the investment if you plan to keep it for many years and have a good amount of resale value should you decide to sell it off when your children are out of it.

This feature will allow you to place your child in the most comfortable position for naps or to observe. This is crucial when your child is in the back seat and wants to nap while the more mature child prefers to sit up to observe the surroundings.

Certain brands have a distinctive design that allows the back of their vehicles to recline fully to a position that is nearly flat, which is ideal for infants. For instance, the iCandy Orange has raised stadium-style seating acar seat when you take your children to school or nursery so you'll need to ensure it can be easily manoeuvred in small spaces.

From birth, you're an ideal candidate

If you're expecting twins or you have a child following your first, you're likely to require a pushchair that fits the entire family. Double buggies are typically larger, heavier and more expensive than single strollers, however they can also be easier to manoeuvre in narrower doorways or around obstacles like curbs. Many double buggies are compatible with piggyback boards (available from the manufacturer or as an add-on). This allows you to carry three children at once.

Tandem pushchairs seat one child in front of the other, and they're generally a better option when you have two children that are close enough in age to function well together. However, they're not 100% secure: Siblings in side-by-side seats can kick or punch one another, and children who are different heights can argue over who should sit higher. This problem can be solved by a tandem high-low design that elevates the seat in the back. Your older child will not be seated on the lower part of the car, and won't be able to get a look out.

The iCandy Wave is a good alternative for parents looking for an adjustable double running buggy buggy that can be converted into a carrycot that can fit both infants and an older child. It features a clever frame that expands in width when you add a second seat. It folds to flattish storage. The cushioned straps, buckles, and seats are all of the best travel double stroller quality we have seen in our tests. Both seats can recline independently and the canopies are spacious and large with UPF 50+ protection and peekaboo windows.

The only drawback to the iCandy tandem is that it's a bit expensive. However, a good tandem will last for years and retain a high resale price, so in the end you'll likely recover a portion of the cost. The iCandy doesn't come with the same seating configurations as our other top picks. However, it's an excellent choice for families who don't wish to spend much money.
