If you have twins or children close in age, a tandem double buggie is a great choice. They're narrower than side-by-side buggies and ideal for navigating narrow spaces like doors, on public transport and on rough terrain.

Some can be converted to travel systems that can take two carrycots or child car seats. However, they are heavier and longer than single pushchairs and may feel less stable in bumping up the kerbs.

Convertible

There are a variety of options to add a second seat or converting a single stroller to a cheap double stroller. The UPPAbaby Vista V2 is a spacious, gorgeous stroller that can easily be converted from a single to a double by adding the rumble seat (available separately). However, it's expensive and less maneuverable than other dual strollers due to the fact that the second seat is located to the left of the front seat. Nuna Demi Grow offers a similar option but lacks storage under the seat when used as a double stroller.

Other alternatives include all-terrain twin buggies as well as fixed-wheel joggers that can hold two children. They are more expensive, however, they are designed for long trips on rough terrain, and come with higher resale prices.

Certain brands have a unique design that allows the back of their vehicles to fully recline to a position that is almost flat, perfect for newborns. The iCandy Orange, for example, has stadium-style seating that can be reclined in various positions. It also comes with a UPF 50+ canopy and peekaboo windows.

More spacious than twin buggies

It is suitable for use from birth, and it can be combined with a range of car seats and carrycots.

The iCandy Wave is another option. It folds in mono or duo mode with just a single click. Its clever frame expands to accommodate the second chair and can be used to accommodate up to two car seats or carrycots. This makes it a fantastic choice for older siblings that wish to sit together. It's a bit longer than other models, yet it's light to steer and has soft suspension that can handle kerbs.

There are also a variety of 3-wheeler inline tandems available Check out Phil and Teds' inline models or iCandy's Peach and Pear buggies, for instance they provide stability and swift steering.

It is possible that you will need to move the car seat in and out while taking your child to school or the nursery.

From your birth, you are an ideal candidate

There will be a need for a pushchair for your entire family whether you're expecting twins or if you have a child after you've had your first. Double buggies are typically a bit heavier, bulkier and more expensive than single strollers. However, they can also be easier to manoeuvre in narrower doorways or around obstacles like curbs. They are also compatible with piggyback ride-along boards (either from the manufacturer or through an additional accessory purchase) which means you can carry three children at the same time.

Tandem pushchairs put one child ahead of the other. They're a good option for children who are similar in age and get along well. They're not foolproof. Siblings who are sitting side-by-side could punch or kick each other and children of different heights may fight over who sits taller. This problem can be solved by a tandem high-low model that raises the seat in the rear. Your child's older one isn't seated at the lowest part of the car and won't get much of an opportunity to see.

Both seats are reclined independently.

But a high-quality tandem will last for many years and have a high resale price, so at the end of the day you'll probably recoup some of the cost. The iCandy doesn't have the same seating configurations as our other top choices. It's nevertheless a good option for families who don't wish to spend lots of money.
