Which Double Tandem Pushchair is Best For Your Family?

If you're planning for twins or a second child, there are plenty of products available to help make life with kids on the move more comfortable. One of these is the double tandem pushchair.

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

Stability

If you have twins, or children of similar age, a double tandem pushchair makes travelling with two of them much easier and more comfortable. However, there are so many designs and configurations available it is difficult to know which one is the best for your family. Some are more suitable for running, while others can accommodate a third child when you add buggyboards. Which ones are most solid?

The CYBEX Gazelle is an excellent option for children who are the same age. However they can be difficult to maneuver around narrow entrances and aisles for shopping. In this case you may be better off with a stadium-style model, like the Bugaboo Donkey or Mountain Buggy Duet that allow children to face you or each other depending on the arrangement.

Tandem models that can seat one behind the other are easier to manage than side-by-side pushchairs, but they are still not as stable as single strollers or car seats. They can be a challenge to push up curbs and they might have less storage space than a side by side pushchair.

You should test the double buggy with carrycot with both seats seated, because that's the way you'll be using it most. Examine how easy it is for you to maneuver and steer the vehicle, particularly in tight turns or with the front wheels that rotate. It is recommended to test the brakes, too because they may be difficult to operate if both child seats are in use.

If you're looking to purchase a premium, affordable double stroller that does everything, take a look at the Phil & Teds Sport Double. This stylish and compact stroller can be converted from a single and double stroller unit to an asymmetrical model in just few steps. The carrycot and seat can be used with the parent facing or facing one another. Its air-filled tires and all-wheel suspension enable it to tackle different terrains. The seat comes with a handy storage basket under the seat, but this is partially restricted by the second child's seat.

Comfort

There is a double stroller that is suitable for every family, whether you have twins, a toddler or a newborn. They can be used to transport two children in tandem, but some can be converted into one pushchair (though this typically requires the removal of one seat). They tend to be wider than a single pushchair, but they do offer flexibility and good value for price.

In our recent double pushchair reviews, we asked users to rate each model on a range of factors, including ride comfort, handling ease and how well it folded. They also evaluated how easy it was to take the car seat in and out and whether it could be used with a baby carrier.

The Stroller & Co City Tour 2 Double is a fantastic example of a flexible, comfortable and light dual stroller. Our reviewers were impressed by its spacious UPF 50+ canopy, which provides real shade with a peekaboo feature. Both seats can recline into various positions by pressing the button. One seat can even be set to lie flat, meaning babies can sleep peacefully in the carrycot that is attached to it.

The reversible seat lining with bamboo, which naturally antibacterial on one side, and soft Jersey on the other is another great feature. The ability to be folded in one hand is also a great feature, especially when you have to watch two little ones.

They are more expensive, however, they offer greater flexibility due to their ability to be able to pass through narrow aisles and doors. They can be difficult to maneuver up kerbs and heavy to push, however, they come with an front-loaded load that can help to distribute the weight.

Flexibility

It will help you avoid the annoyance of kids waking one another up or fighting out and about, thereby keeping them both content. 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 are ultra flexible and allow you to change back to single mode as soon as your child is old enough to use a stroller. This allows you to save money on an entirely new stroller. The UPPAbaby V2 Double is able to fit two infant car seats at the back as well as a riding board which makes it ideal for three children. It can even be used with a stroller and a suitcase that can roll for the parents, allowing you to travel light but still bringing everything your family needs.

We love that it can be folded with the use of a hand and can easily slide through doors, and that the basket underneath is higher to make it easier to store your shopping into. The back seat is protected to keep your kid warm in winter.

A tandem is narrower than a side-byside, making it difficult to navigate narrow aisles in shops or on busy footpaths. However, it can be more maneuverable on rocky terrain than a standard dual pushchair. Some of these pushchairs could be difficult to steer through tight turns, especially when your child is heavier in the front seat.

An inline double pushchair, however is the best option for most families. It can usually be used as a tandem pram when your children are young, but can also convert to a tandem when they're older. Some models, such as the iCandy Peach 3+, can be used with two i-Size vehicle seats, giving you ultimate flexibility and value for money.

Certain models can be converted from a single to double pushchair pushchairs to tandem - such as the Joolz Geo and the Uppababy Vista V2.

It can be difficult to convert it back to only one seat after your older child grows out of it.
