Which double buggy for twins Tandem Pushchair is Best For Your Family?

If you're preparing for twins or another child, there are plenty of products that can make life with kids on the move more comfortable. The double tandem pushchair is just one of them.

Many brands have double buggy options as part of their product range, ranging from Phil and Teds to Baby Jogger. They are available in line or side-by-side convertible models.

Stability

A double tandem pushchair is ideal for families with twins or children of similar age. It makes travelling with two children more comfortable and easier. There are so many styles and configurations that it is difficult to choose the right one for your family. Some are better suited for jogging than others, or accommodate a third seat if you add buggy boards. Which ones are the most stable, though?

Side-by-side pushchairs (like the CYBEX Gazelle S) are ideal for transporting children of the same age. They aren't easy to maneuver through narrow doorways or aisles of shopping. In this situation you may be better to go with a stadium-style model like the Bugaboo Donkey or Mountain Buggy Duet which allows children to be facing either one or the other based on the arrangement.

Tandem models, which put one behind the next is more manageable, but still not as stable than single strollers or child car seats. They can be difficult to climb up curbs and could have less storage capacity than a side-byside pushchair.

You should try out the double with both seats in place as that is how you'll be using it most. Examine how easy it is to navigate and steer the vehicle, particularly in tight turns or with the front wheels that rotate. Also, you should test the brakes, since they may be difficult to use if both child seats are attached.

The Phil & Teds Sports Double is a great double stroller for people who are looking for a high-quality stroller that is affordable and able to perform all. This stylish and compact stroller can be converted from a single to an asymmetrical model in just two easy steps. The seat and the carrycot both recline and can be used with the parent facing or facing one another, and the air-filled tyres and all-wheel suspension make it suitable to tackle a variety of terrains. The seat comes with a handy storage basket under the seat, but it is partially blocked by the second child's seat.

Comfort

If you have twins or a baby and toddler, there is a double pushchair to accommodate your family. They can be used to transport two kids side-by-side, but many can be converted into a single pushchair (though this typically requires the removal of one seat). They are typically wider than a single buggy, but the majority offer ultra flexibility and a good value for money.

In our latest double stroller with bassinet (use Douerdun here) stroller reviews, we sought feedback from testers on a range of aspects such as ride comfort, handling ease and how well the pushchair folded. They also noted the ease with which they could get the car seat in and out, and whether it could be used with a baby carrier.

The Stroller & Co City Tour 2 Double stroller is a fantastic example of an easy-going, comfortable and flexible double stroller. Our reviewers appreciated the spacious UPF 50+ canopy which provides shade and has a peekaboo window, while both seats recline into multiple positions with just the press of a button. One seat can also be made to lie flat so that babies can sleep peacefully in the carrycot which is attached to it.

The reversible seat lining with bamboo which is naturally antibacterial on one hand and soft Jersey on the other is another great feature. Our testers also loved the fact that it is able to fold it with one hand which is a huge benefit for parents with two small children to keep an eye on.

Side-by-side models are generally more expensive than tandem buggies. However, they offer the most flexibility since they are designed to fit into narrow aisles and doors. They can be difficult to navigate up kerbs and can be heavy to push but they have an front-loaded load that can help to distribute the weight.

Flexibility

A double tandem pushchair can be a great addition to any family, regardless of whether you have twins or a baby. It can help you avoid the annoyance of children who wake one another up or fighting on the move, and keep the two of them happy. This type of buggy is ideal when you plan to use it on public transport because it will be easier to fit it in the space available.

Some models provide an extreme degree of flexibility, including the ability to switch back to single to double stroller mode if your baby is ready to use strollers, without having to buy an entirely new one. The UPPAbaby V2 Double is able to accommodate two infant car seats in the back and a ridingboard which makes it ideal for three children. It can be used with a stroller and a rolling case for parents. This allows you to travel light, while still having everything you need for your family.

The Joovy Caboose Ultralight Graphite is a different style of double stroller compared to the other models, yet it comes with the same features you'll find in our top-rated selections. We like how it can be folded with a hand and fits easily through doors, and also that the undercarriage basket is taller, making it easier to store your on shopping. The rear seat is also covered, so your child will be warm during winter.

A side-by-side pram is wider than a tandem, making it difficult to navigate footpaths or narrow shop aisles. However, it can be more maneuverable on rocky terrain than a standard dual pushchair. Some of these pushchairs can be difficult to steer, particularly when your child is larger.

A double pushchair is the best option for most families. It can usually be used as a twin stroller with car seats pram if your children are younger however, it can also be converted into a tandem when they're older. Some of these models, such as the iCandy Peach 3+, can be used with two i-Size vehicle seats, giving you ultimate flexibility and price-for-value.

Stores

The biggest disadvantage of a cheap double buggy-buggy can be that it takes up more space on public transport, and is difficult to maneuver through narrow doors or lifts. They also tend to be more expensive, especially side-by-side models with a second passenger in the front.

Some models can be converted from a single pushchair to tandem such as the Joolz Geo and the Uppababy Vista V2. This can be cost effective in the event that you're planning to have another baby at some point and also extends the life of your buggy. However, it could be difficult to convert back to a single when your older child has outgrown it.
