A Brief History Of Double Tandem Pushchair History Of Double Tandem Pushchair

Which Double Tandem Pushchair is Best For Your Family?

If you're preparing for twins or a second child, there are a variety of products available to make your life with children moving around easier. One of them is the double tandem pushchair.

The majority of brands offer a double buggy as part of their product range, ranging from Phil & Teds to Baby Jogger. They are available as inline or side-by-side convertible models.

Stability

If you have twins, or children who are close in age, a double tandem pushchair makes travelling with two of them much easier and more comfortable. There are numerous styles and configurations available that it is difficult to decide which one is best for your family. Some are better suited to running, while others can accommodate a third person by adding a buggyboard. Which ones are the most stable?

Side-by-side pushchairs (like the CYBEX Gazelle S) are perfect for transporting children who are the same age. They can be difficult to navigate through narrow doors or aisles of shopping. In this situation you may be better off with models that are stadium-style like the Bugaboo Donkey, or Mountain Buggy Duet. These models allow your children to face you or the other depending on their setup.

Tandem models, which place one behind the other, are more manageable but still not as stable as single strollers or child car seats. They aren't easy to push up curbs, and they could have less storage space than a side-by-side pushchair double.

It is recommended to test the double with both seats in place, as that is how you'll use it the most. You should check how easy it is to navigate and steer, especially in tight corners or with the front wheels that swivel. It is a good idea to test the brakes, too because they may be difficult to operate if both child seats are attached.

The Phil and Teds Sports Double is the perfect double stroller for people who are looking for a high-quality stroller at a reasonable price that can do it all. This sleek compact stroller can be converted from a single to tandem in just a few steps. The seat and carrycot recline and can be used parent-facing or facing one another and the air-filled tyres and all-wheel suspension make it ideal for tackling a variety of terrains. The seat has an attractive storage basket underneath the seat, however this is partially blocked by the second child's seat.

Comfort

There is a double stroller suitable for any family, regardless of whether you have twins or a toddler newborn. Generally, they can transport both children side by side but some can convert into single pushchairs (although this will often involve taking off one seat). Most are wider than a single and double stroller stroller, but they offer an excellent value and flexibility.

In our latest double review of pushchairs, we asked users to rate each model on a variety of aspects, including comfort, handling ease and how it folded. They also assessed the ease of taking out and putting in the car seat, as well as whether it could be used along with a baby carrier.

The Stroller & Co City Tour 2 Double is a fantastic example of a comfortable, flexible and lightweight twin buggy dual stroller. Our reviewers praised its generous UPF 50+ canopy, which offers real shade with the option of peekaboo. Both seats can be reclined into multiple positions by pressing the button. One seat can also be set to lie flat, meaning a newborn can sleep comfortably in the carrycot which is attached to it.

Other fantastic features of this pushchair are the padded handlebar with cup holder and pouch as well as the simple braking system and the reversible seating liner with naturally anti-bacterial bamboo on one side and soft jersey on the other. The possibility of being folded with just one hand is also a great feature, especially when you're looking after two little ones.

They are more expensive, however, they offer greater flexibility due to their ability to fit through narrow aisles and doors. They can be a burden to push and can be difficult to move up kerbs but most do have a front-loaded weight which helps keep the load in balance.

Flexibility

Whether you're looking to keep your twins together or have a newborn and a toddler, the double tandem pushchair can be a great addition to your family. It will assist you in avoiding the irritation of children waking each other or fighting while on the move, and keep them both content. This type of buggy is also ideal if you're planning to use it on public transport because it will be easier to fit it in the space available.

Certain models are extremely flexible and allow you to change back to single mode when your child is old enough to use strollers. This allows you to not have to buy a new stroller. The UPPAbaby Vista double Stroller for Twins, for instance, can take two infant car seats as well as a riding board in the back, making it ideal for three children. It can be used in conjunction with a stroller as well as a rolling case for parents. This allows you to travel light, while still having everything your family requires.

The Joovy Caboose Ultralight Graphite is a different style of double stroller from the rest, yet it comes with the same features you'll find in our top picks. It's easy to fold and fits through most doorways. The basket underneath the carriage is also taller and makes it easier to load groceries. The rear seat is also covered, so your child will be warm in winter.

A tandem is narrower than a side-by-side, which makes it difficult to navigate narrow aisles in shops or busy footpaths. However, it's more maneuverable on rough terrain than a standard dual pushchair. Some of these prams may be difficult to steer, particularly when your child is heavier.

A double pushchair that is inline, on the other hand is a better choice for most families. It can be used as a twin strollers for newborns pram when your children are young but it could also be converted into a tandem as they reach a certain age. Certain models, such as the iCandy Peach 3+ can accept two iSize car seats. This gives you maximum flexibility and value.

Storage

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

Some models can be converted from a single pushchairs double to tandem such as the Joolz Geo and the Uppababy Vista V2. This can be a good option if you're planning on having another baby at some point and also extends the lifespan of your buggy. However, it could be difficult to convert it back to a single once your child is older and outgrows it.

Stadium Duo is a lightweight compact dual stroller that's perfect for urban adventures. It features a one-click, fold with one hand and an automatic storage lock, plus it's compatible with 2 SnugEssentials or SnugRide i-Size infant car seats* to ensure smooth transitions. The stadium-style seating design allows both children to take in the view. It is possible to connect your infant car seats to the rear or front of the stroller with one click. There's also a huge shopping basket and tray for parents that allows you to bring everything you need for a day out. The suspension and swivel wheels provide a smooth ride and ensure more maneuverability. The 5-point safety belts on both seats also ensure the safety of your child.
