Which Double Tandem Pushchair is Best For Your Family?

If you’re planning for twins or another child, there are plenty of products to make life with children moving around more comfortable. One of them is the double infant stroller tandem pushchair.

Many brands offer a double buggy as part of their line, ranging from Phil and Teds to Baby Jogger. They are available as side-by-side or convertible models that are inline.

Stability

A double buggy side by side tandem pushchair is perfect for families with twins or children with similar age. It makes traveling with two children much more comfortable and easy. There are numerous styles and configurations available that it can be a challenge to pick the best one for your family. Some are better suited for jogging than others, or be a third-seater when you add on a buggy board. Which ones are the most stable however?

The CYBEX Gazelle is an excellent option for children who are the same age. They can be difficult to navigate through narrow doors or shopping aisles. In this situation you might prefer a stadium model, such as the Bugaboo Donkey, or Mountain Buggy Duet. These models allow your children to face either you or eachother according to their configuration.

Tandem models that place one behind the other are more manageable than side-by-side pushchairs, but they’re not as stable as single strollers or car seats. They can be difficult to push up curbs and they may have less storage space than a side-by-side pushchair.

You should try out the double with both seats in place since that’s how you’ll be using it most. You should test whether it is easy to navigate and steer, especially in tight corners or when using the swivel front wheels. It is a good idea to test the brakes too as they can be difficult to operate if the child and adult seats are both attached.

If you’re looking for a top-quality double stroller at a reasonable price that does it all you need, then look no further than the Phil and Teds Sport Double. This sleek compact pushchair can be transformed from a single to a tandem in a couple of simple steps. The seat and the carrycot both recline and can be used parent-facing or facing each other and the tyres with air-filled tires and all terrain double buggy-wheel suspension make it perfect to tackle a variety of terrains. The seat has an excellent storage basket beneath the seat, but it is partially hidden by the second child’s seat.

Comfort

There is 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 into one pushchair (though this typically requires taking off one seat). They tend to be wider than a single pushchair, but the majority offer ultra flexibility and good value for price.

In our most recent double Stroller with cup Holder pushchair reviews, we surveyed testers to rate each model on a range of factors including ride comfort, handling ease and how it folded. They also noted how easy it was to take the car seat in and out, and whether it could be used in conjunction with a baby carrier.

The Stroller & Co City Tour 2 Double stroller is a great example for a lightweight twin stroller, comfortable and flexible dual stroller. Our reviewers were impressed by its spacious UPF 50+ canopy, which provides real shade and the option of peekaboo. Both seats can be reclined into various positions by pressing an arrow. One seat can even be made to lie flat so that babies can sleep peacefully in the carrycot which is attached to it.

Other great features of this pushchair are the padded handlebar, cup pouch and holder and the easy-to-use brake system, and the reversible seat liner made of bamboo that is naturally anti-bacterial on one side and soft jersey on the other. Our testers also loved the fact that you can fold it in one hand, which is a big benefit when you have two young children to watch.

They’re more expensive, however, they offer greater flexibility due to their ability to be able to pass through narrow aisles and doors. They aren’t easy to navigate up kerbs and can be heavy to push however, they come with an inclined front load that helps balance the overall weight.

Flexibility

A double tandem pushchair can be an excellent addition to any family, whether you have twins or a toddler and a baby. This will keep your children entertained by keeping them from fighting or waking each other up. This type of buggy can also be great for those who plan to take it on public transportation because it is more convenient to fit in the available space.

Certain models are extremely flexible and allow you to change back to single mode as soon as your child is old enough to use strollers. This lets you save money on a new stroller. The UPPAbaby V2 Double is able to accommodate two infant car seats in the back, as well as a ridingboard which makes it ideal for three kids. It can be used alongside a stroller and a rolling case for the parents. This lets you travel light, while still having everything your family needs.

The Joovy Caboose Ultralight Graphite double stroller is a different design than the competition but offers many of the same features as our top selections. We like the fact that it folds with hands and easily through doorways, and the basket under the carriage is taller, making it easier to drop shopping in. The rear seat is covered, so your child will be warm during winter.

A side-byside pram is bigger than a tandem, which makes it difficult to navigate walkways or narrow aisles in shops. However, it’s more maneuverable on rocky terrain than a standard dual pushchair. Some of these pushchairs can be difficult to steer, especially when your child is heavier.

A double-inline pushchair is a good option for the majority of families. It can usually be used as a twin umbrella stroller pram if your children are young, but can also convert to a tandem when they’re older. Certain models, such as the iCandy Peach 3+ can accept two iSize car seat. This allows you to have the most flexibility and value.

Storage

The main disadvantage of double buggy is that they take up more space on public transport and it can be more difficult to navigate through narrow doors and lifts. They are also more expensive, particularly side-by-side models that have a second seat on the in the front.

Some models can be converted from single pushchairs to tandem models – such as the Joolz Geo and the Uppababy Vista V2. This can be cost effective in the event that you’re planning to have another baby at some point, and it extends the lifespan of your buggy. However, it’s tricky to convert back to a single once your older child has outgrown it.

Stadium Duo is a lightweight compact dual stroller that’s ideal for urban adventures. It features a one-click, fold with one hand and an the ability to lock storage automatically, and it’s compatible with 2 SnugEssentials or SnugRide i-Size infant car seats* to ensure smooth transitions. The raised seating style gives the kids a stunning view of the world. Additionally, it’s easy to connect your infant car seat to the front or rear of the stroller with just a single click. You can also bring everything you need for your day out in the large shopping basket and the tray for parents. The swivel and suspension wheels ensure superior manoeuvrability and an easy ride, and the 5-point safety belts on both seats amp up your little ones’ security.
