Which Double Tandem Pushchair is Best For Your Family?

If you're planning for twins or a new child, there are a variety of products that can help make your life with children moving around easier. The double tandem pushchair is one of the most popular.

From Phil & Teds to Baby Jogger, most brands offer a cheap double stroller stroller in their product line. They can come as side-by-side or convertible models inline.

Stability

A double tandem pushchair is perfect for families with twins or children of similar age. It makes traveling with two children much more comfortable and less stressful. There are so many styles and configurations to choose from that it is difficult to pick the best one for your family. Some are better suited to running, while others are able to accommodate a third person when you add a buggyboard. Which ones are the most sturdy?

The CYBEX Gazelle is a great option for transporting children of the same age. However they can be a challenge to maneuver around narrow entrances and shopping aisles. In this situation you may prefer an arena model like the Bugaboo Donkey, or Mountain Buggy Duet. These models allow your children to either face you or another depending on their setup.

Tandem models, which place one behind the other can be more manageable, however they are they aren't as stable as single strollers or car seats for children. They aren't easy to lift up curbs and they may have less storage space than a side by side pushchair.

To get a really good feel for the stability of a double, you need to test it out with both seats in use since this is the way you will be using it the most often. Examine the ease with which it is for you to steer and navigate the vehicle, especially in tight turns or with the front wheels that can swivel. It is also important to test the brakes, as they might be difficult to operate when both child seats are connected.

If you're looking to purchase a premium, affordable double stroller 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 carrycot both recline and can be used either facing the parent or facing one another and the air-filled tyres and all-wheel suspension make it perfect for tackling a range of terrains. It comes with a handy underseat storage basket but access to this is partially restricted when the second seat is installed.

Comfort

There is a double stroller that is suitable for every family, whether you have twins, a toddler or a newborn. Typically, they can carry both children side-by-side but some can convert into single pushchairs (although this usually involves removing one seat). They tend to be wider than a single buggy, but the majority offer ultra flexibility and value for money.

In our most recent double travel buggy stroll reviews, we sought feedback from testers on a range of aspects including the comfort of riding, handling and how well the pushchair folded. They also assessed the ease of taking out and putting in the car seat, and whether it could be used along with baby carriers.

The Stroller & Co City Tour 2 Double stroller is a fantastic example of lightweight and comfortable double stroller. Our reviewers praised the generous UPF 50+ canopy that provides shade and has an opening window for peekaboos, and both seats recline into a variety of positions at the touch of one button. One seat can be set to lay flat so that a newborn can sleep in the carrycot above it.

The reversible seat lining with bamboo which is naturally antibacterial, on one side and soft Jersey on the other is an excellent feature. Our test subjects also appreciated the fact that it is able to fold it in one hand and that's a major benefit when you have two young children to watch.

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

Flexibility

If you're looking for a way to keep your twins close or have a toddler and newborn, a double tandem pushchair can be a valuable addition to your family. This can keep your children happy by preventing them from arguing or waking each other up. This type of buggy may also be great for those who plan to use it on public transportation, as it is easier to fit into the space available.

Some models provide ultra flexibility, converting to single mode once your child is ready for a stroller without needing to purchase a completely new one. The UPPAbaby Double can fit two infant car seats in the back and a riding board making it suitable for three children. It can even be utilized with a stroller seat and a roll-away suitcase for the parents, allowing you to travel light but still having everything your family requires.

The Joovy Caboose Ultralight Graphite is a different style of double stroller from the other models, yet it has the same features that you'll find in our top-rated picks. It's easy to fold and can be inserted into many doors. The basket that is under the carriage is also higher and makes it easier to load groceries. The rear seat is also covered, which means your child will be protected in the winter.

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

A double inline pushchair is a better choice for families with multiple children. It can be used as a twin pram when your children are young but it could also be converted into a tandem as they get older. Some of these models, like the iCandy Peach 3+, can accommodate two i-Size car seats, giving you ultimate flexibility and the best value for money.

Stores

The most significant disadvantage of a double buggy newborn buggy may be that it takes up more room on public transport, and is more difficult to maneuver through narrow doors or lifts. They are also more expensive, especially side-byside models that have a second seat in the front.

Some models, like the Joolz Geo or the Uppababy Vista V2, can be converted into tandem pushchairs. This is an affordable option if you're planning to have a second child in the near future. It also extends the life span of your buggy. It's not easy to convert it back to a single seat when your older child has grown out of it.

The 5-point safety belts that are fitted to both seats also improve the safety of your child.
