Double Tandem Pushchair: What's New? No One Has Discussed

Which Double Tandem Pushchair is Best For Your Family?

When you're preparing for twins or a new child, there are plenty of products to help make life with kids on the move more comfortable. One of them is the double tandem pushchair.

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

Stability

A double tandem pushchair is perfect for families with twins or children of similar ages. It makes traveling with two children much more comfortable and easy. But, with numerous styles and configurations out there it can be hard to decide which one is best for your family. Some are more suitable for running, while others are able to accommodate a third child when you add a buggyboard. Which ones are the most solid?

Side-by-side pushchairs (like the CYBEX Gazelle S) are perfect for transporting children who are the same age. They aren't easy to maneuver through narrow doorways or aisles of shopping. In this case you may be better off with models that are stadium-style like the Bugaboo Donkey, or Mountain Buggy Duet. These models let your children face you or the other according to their configuration.

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

You should try out the double with both seats in place, because that's the way you'll use it the 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, as they might be difficult to use if the child and infant seats are attached.

The Phil and Teds Sports Double is the perfect double stroller for those who are looking for a high-quality stroller at a reasonable price that can perform all. This sleek, compact pushchair can be transformed from a single to a tandem in a few easy 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 terrain double stroller-wheel suspension make it ideal to tackle a variety of terrains. It also comes with an underseat storage basket but access to this is partially blocked when the second seat is in place.

Comfort

Whether you have twins or a newborn and toddler there is a double pushchair that will suit your family. Generally, they can transport both children side by side, however many can also convert into single pushchairs (although this usually involves taking off one seat). They are typically wider than a single pushchair, but they do offer flexibility and a good value for money.

In our most recent double stroller reviews, sought feedback from testers on a range of aspects such as ride comfort, handling ease and how well the stroller folded. They also evaluated the ease of putting in and taking out the car seat, and whether or not it could be used with the baby carrier.

The Stroller & Co City Tour 2 Double is a fantastic example of a flexible, comfortable and light dual stroller. Our reviewers praised its generous UPF 50+ canopy, which offers real shade and the ability to peek at. Both seats can recline into various positions by pressing the 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 naturally antibacterial on one hand and soft Jersey on the other side is an great feature. Our test participants also appreciated the fact that it is able to fold it in one hand and that's a major benefit when you have two small children to watch.

They're more expensive, but they can provide greater flexibility due to their ability to be able to pass through narrow doors and aisles. They can be difficult to navigate up kerbs and are heavy to push, however, they come with a front-loaded load that helps to distribute the weight.

Flexibility

Whether you're looking to keep your twins together or have a baby and toddler, a double tandem pushchair can be a valuable addition to your family. It can keep your children entertained by stopping them from arguing or waking one other up. This type of buggy may be ideal when you intend to take it on public transport as it is easier to fit into the space available.

Certain models offer an extreme degree of flexibility, including the ability to switch back to single to double stroller mode if your child is ready for strollers, without having to purchase a completely new one. The UPPAbaby Vista V2 Double, for example can accommodate two infant car seats as well as a riding board at the back, making it ideal for three kids. It can be used in conjunction with the stroller and a roll-away case for parents. This lets you travel light, while still having everything you need for your family.

The Joovy Caboose Ultralight Graphite double stroller is different than the other strollers, but has many of the same features that we have outlined in our top choices. It's easy to fold and can be inserted into most doorways. The basket under the carriage is also taller, making it easier to load groceries. Its rear seat is also covered to keep your youngster warm during winter.

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

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

Storage

The main drawback of a double buggy may be that it takes up more room on public transport and is difficult to maneuver through narrow doors or lifts. They also cost more, particularly side-by-side models with a second passenger on the front.

Certain models can be converted from single pushchairs to tandem - such as the Joolz Geo and the Uppababy Vista V2. This can be cost effective if you're planning on having another child in the near future and also extends the life of your buggy. It may be difficult to convert it back to only one seat after your older child has grown out of it.
