A Look In Tandem Double Buggy s Secrets Of Tandem Double Buggy

Buying a Tandem Double Buggy

If you have twins or children very close in age, a tandem double buggy is a great choice. They're a bit smaller than side-byside buggies, and ideal for maneuvering tight spaces, such as entrances, on public transportation and rocky terrain.

Many convert into travel systems to take 2 carrycots or car seats. However, they can be heavier and longer than single pushchairs and may feel less stable in bumping up kerbs.

Convertible

If you're looking for a convertible single-to-double stroller or want to add an additional seat to an existing one, there's several options available. The Vista V2 from UPPAbaby is big, beautiful stroller that converts easily from a single to double by incorporating the rumble seat (available separately). However, it's expensive and less mobile than other double strollers because the 2nd seat goes in front of the front seat. The Nuna Demi Grow is a similar option with great seating flexibility, however it does not have storage under the seat when used in doubles mode.

Other alternatives include twin buggy buggies with all-terrain wheels and joggers with fixed wheels that can be used to carry two kids. They tend to be more expensive but they're designed to last longer on rough terrain and could have a higher resale value.

Reclining the seat independently

If you require a double buggy to transport children of various ages, you'll want one that has recline that is independent for both seats. This will allow your older child to be able to relax while your baby is in a bassinet, and the reverse is true.

Consider the width of your stroller, as this will determine the ease of you to navigate through doors and public transportation. If your doorways are very narrow, you may think about a side by side pushchair such as the Mountain Buggy Duet. It has a footprint similar to a single stroller but can still accommodate two seats and car seat adaptors.

Tandem buggies are generally a little longer than side-by-side models and so aren't as easily maneuverable up and down kerbs, but they can accommodate a wider range of seat/carrycot/car seat combinations making them a good option for twins or siblings of various age groups.

Larger than twin buggies

It's not necessary to have twins to benefit from a larger double buggy - they're ideal for siblings of different ages and allow you to move around without worrying about your children touching each other.

Suitable from birth

If you're expecting twins, or you have a child following your first, you're likely need to find a pushchair that fits the whole family. Double buggies tend to be heavier and bulkier as well as more expensive than single strollers. However they are also more maneuverable in tighter doorways, or around obstacles like curbs. Many double running buggy buggies are compatible with piggyback boards (available from the manufacturer or as an add-on). This allows you to transport three children at the same time.

Tandem pushchairs put one child in front the other. They're a great option if your children are close in age and get along well. But they're not foolproof Siblings in a side-by-side seat can kick or punch each other, and kids on different heights can squabble over who sits higher. This issue can be resolved by a tandem high-low model that raises the seat to the back. Your child's older isn't seated at the lower part of the car, and won't get much of a look out.
