Five People You Should Know In The Double Tandem Pushchair Industry

Which Double Tandem Pushchair is Best For Your Family?

If you're planning for twins or a new child, there are plenty of products that can help make life with children on the move more comfortable. The double tandem pushchair is one of them.

Most brands have double buggy options as part of their line, ranging from Phil and Teds to Baby Jogger. They can come as side-by-side or convertible models inline.

Stability

A double tandem pushchair is perfect for families with twins or children with similar age. It makes travelling with two children more comfortable and easy. There are so many styles and configurations that it can be a challenge to choose the right one for your family. Some are better for running than others, or can be a third-seater when you add on a buggy board. Which ones are the most stable, however?

The CYBEX Gazelle is a fantastic option for children who are the same age. However they can be difficult to maneuver around narrow doorways and aisles for shopping. In this instance it is best using a model that is stadium-style, like the Bugaboo Donkey or Mountain Buggy Duet, which allow children to be facing either one or the other based on the configuration.

Tandem models that seat one behind the other are more manageable than side-by-side pushchairs, but they are still not as stable as single strollers or car seats. They can also be difficult to navigate around from curbs, and they may not have as much storage than a side-by-side pushchair.

You should test the double with both seats in place, as that is how you'll be using it the most. Examine how easy it is for you to steer and navigate the vehicle, particularly in tight turns or with the front wheels that swivel. It is recommended to test the brakes too as they can be difficult to operate when the child and adult seats are both attached.

The Phil & Teds Sports Double is the perfect double stroller for those who want a quality stroller at a reasonable price that can do it all. This sleek, compact pushchair can be converted from a single to tandem in a couple of simple steps. The seat and the carrycot both recline and can be used either facing the parent or facing each other and the tyres with air-filled tires and all-wheel suspension make it ideal for tackling a range of terrains. The seat comes with an attractive storage basket underneath the seat, but this is partially blocked by the second child's seat.

Comfort

There's a double stroller for every family, whether you have twins, a toddler or a newborn. They can be used to transport two children side-by-side, but many can be converted to one pushchair (though this usually requires removing one seat). They tend to be wider than a single pushchair, however, they are generally able to provide ultra flexibility and good value for price.

In our most recent double stroller reviews, we sought feedback from testers on a variety of factors such as ride comfort, handling ease and how well the stroller folded. They also assessed the ease of getting in and out of the car seat, and whether it could be used along with a baby carrier.

The Stroller & Co City Tour 2 Double is a fantastic example of a flexible, comfortable and light dual stroller. The reviewers who reviewed it praised its large UPF 50+ canopy, which offers real shade and a peekaboo feature. Both seats can be reclined to different positions by pressing a button. One seat can even be made to lie flat, so a newborn can sleep comfortably in the carrycot attached above it.

Other excellent features on this pushchair include the padded handlebar that comes with a cup holder and pouch and the easy-to-use brake system and the reversible seat liner with naturally anti-bacterial bamboo on one side and soft jersey on the other. Our testers also loved the fact that it is able to fold it in one hand which is a huge plus for parents with two small children to watch.

Side-by-side models tend to be more expensive than tandem buggies, however they can offer maximum flexibility because they are designed to fit in narrow aisles and doors. They can be a burden to push and can be difficult to move up kerbs but most do have an front-loaded weight that helps help balance the load.

Flexibility

A double tandem pushchair can be an ideal addition to any family, regardless of whether you have twins or an infant. It can assist you in avoiding the irritation of children waking each other or fighting while out and about, thereby keeping the two of them happy. This type of buggy is ideal when you plan to use it on public transport, as it can be easier to fit it in the space available.

Some models provide the ultimate flexibility, and can be converted back to single mode when your youngest is ready for strollers without having to purchase a completely new one. The UPPAbaby Vista V2 Double, for instance it can fit two infant car seats as well as a riding board in the back which makes it perfect for three children. It can be used in conjunction with the stroller and a roll-away case for the parents. This allows you to travel light, while still having everything your family needs.

The Joovy Caboose Ultralight Graphite double stroller is different than the competition but offers many of the same features we've outlined as our top picks. We like how it can be folded with a hand and fits easily through doors, and that the undercarriage basket is taller, making it easier to drop shopping in. The rear seat is also covered, so your child will be warm in the winter.

A tandem is narrower than a side-by-side, which makes it difficult to navigate narrow aisles in shops or busy footpaths. It can be easier to maneuver on rocky terrain compared to a standard double pushchair. Some of these pushchairs can be difficult to steer in tight turns, particularly if your heavier child is in the front seat.

An inline  double pushchair , however, is a better option for most families. It can be used as a twin pram if your children are young but it is also able to be converted into a tandem once they're older. Certain models, such as the iCandy Peach 3+ can accommodate two iSize car seats. This allows you to have the most flexibility and value.

Storage

The main drawback of double buggy is that they take up more space on public transport and it can be more difficult to steer through narrow doorways and lifts. They also tend to be more expensive, especially side-byside models with a second passenger in front.

Some models, such as the Joolz Geo or the Uppababy Vista V2 are able to be converted into tandem pushchairs. This can be cost effective if you're planning on having another baby at some point, and it extends the lifespan of your buggy. It can be difficult to convert it back to one seat once your older child has grown out of it.

Stadium Duo is a lightweight compact stroller that is ideal for urban adventures. It has a one-click, one-hand fold and automatic storage lock, plus it's compatible with 2 SnugEssentials or SnugRide i-Size infant car seats* to ensure hassle-free transitions. The stadium-style seating allows both children to enjoy the view. It's possible to connect infant car seats to the rear or front of the stroller with one click. You can also carry all the necessities to enjoy your day in the large shopping basket and parent tray. The swivel and suspension wheels provide superior maneuverability and an easy ride, and the 5-point safety belts on both seats amp up the security of your children.
