The 10 Most Scariest Things About Double Tandem Pushchair

Which Double Tandem Pushchair is Best For Your Family?

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

The majority of brands offer double buggy options as part of their line, 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 of similar age, a double tandem pushchair makes traveling with two children much easier and more comfortable. There are so many designs and configurations to choose from that it can be a challenge to pick the best one for your family. Some are better suited to jogging, while others can accommodate a third passenger when you add a buggyboard. But which ones are the most stable?

Side-by-side pushchairs (like the CYBEX Gazelle S) are ideal for transporting children who are the same age. However they can be difficult to maneuver around narrow doorways and aisles for shopping. In this case you may be better to go with a stadium-style model like the Bugaboo Donkey or Mountain Buggy Duet that allow children to be facing either one or the other based on the arrangement.

Tandem models that seat one behind the other are more manageable than side-by-side pushchairs. However, they are still not as stable as single strollers and car seats. They aren't easy to lift up curbs and they might have less storage space than a side-by-side pushchair.

You should try out the double with both seats seated, because that's the way you'll be using it most. You should check the ease with which you can navigate and steer, especially in tight corners or with the swivel front wheels. It is also important to test the brakes, since they may be difficult to use if both child seats have been attached.

If you're looking for a high-quality, affordable double stroller that does everything you need, then look no further than the Phil and Teds Sport Double. This sleek and compact pushchair converts from a single unit to tandem in a few simple steps. The seat and carrycot can be used with the parent facing or facing each other. Its air-filled tires as well as all-wheel suspension enable it to conquer different terrains. It has a handy underseat storage basket, however access to this is partially blocked when the second seat is installed.

Comfort

If you have twins, or a baby and toddler, there is a double buggy newborn pushchair to fit your family. They can be used to transport two kids in tandem, but some can be converted into one pushchair (though this usually requires removing one seat). They are typically wider than a single buggy, however, they are generally able to provide ultra flexibility and value for money.

In our recent double stroller reviews, asked testers for their opinions on a variety of factors including the comfort of the ride, handling ease and how well the pushchair folded. They also rated how easy it was to take the car seat into and out, and if it could be used with a baby car.

The Stroller & Co City Tour 2 Double is an excellent example of a comfortable, flexible and lightweight double stroller. Our reviewers praised its generous UPF 50+ canopy, which offers real shade with the ability to peek at. Both seats can be reclined to different positions by pressing a button. One seat can be set to lay flat so a newborn can rest in the carrycot on top of it.

Other excellent features on this pushchair are the padded handlebar, cup pouch and holder, the easy-to-use braking system, and the reversible seat liner that is naturally antibacterial bamboo on one side and soft jersey on the other. The possibility of being folded in one hand is an amazing feature, especially when you're looking after two children.

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

Flexibility

If you're looking to keep your twins close or have a newborn and a toddler, a double travel stroller tandem pushchair can be a great addition to your family. It can assist you in avoiding the irritation of kids waking one another up or fighting out and about, thereby keeping the two of them happy. This type of buggy is also great when you plan to use it on public transportation because it is easier to fit it in the space available.

Some models are extremely flexible, allowing you to convert back to single mode once your child is old enough to use strollers. This allows you to not have to buy a new stroller. The UPPAbaby Vista V2 Double, for instance, can take two infant car seats and a riding board in the back, making it ideal for three children. It can also be used with a stroller seat and a suitcase that can roll for parents, allowing you to travel light but still taking everything your family requires.

The Joovy Caboose Ultralight Graphite is an entirely different type of double stroller compared to the rest, yet it offers the same features that you'll find in our top picks. We love that it can be folded with hands and easily through doors, and also the basket under the carriage is taller to make it easier to drop shopping into. The rear seat is also covered, so your child will be protected in the winter.

A tandem is more narrow than a side-byside, making it difficult to navigate narrow aisles in shops or busy walking routes. It is easier to maneuver on rough terrain than a standard double pushchair. Some of these pushchairs could be difficult to steer through tight turns, especially when your child is heavier in the front seat.

A double-inline pushchair is a better choice for the majority of families. It can be used as a twin buggy from birth pram for children who are young but it could also be converted into a tandem once they reach a certain age. Certain models, such as the iCandy Peach 3+ can accept two iSize car seats. This gives you the maximum flexibility and value.

Stores

The main drawback of a double buggy is that it can take up more space on public transport, and can be difficult to steer through narrow doorways and lifts. They are also more expensive, especially side-byside models with a second seat in front.

Certain models, like the Joolz Geo or the Uppababy Vista V2 can be converted into tandem pushchairs. This can be cost effective in the event that you're planning to have another child in the near future and can extend the life of your buggy. However, it can be difficult to convert back to a single once your older child has outgrown it.
