Which Double Tandem Pushchair is Best For Your Family?

There are a variety of products that can make the lives of a parent with two children or twins easier. One of these is the double tandem pushchair.

The majority of brands have double buggy options as part of their line, ranging from Phil & Teds to Baby Jogger. They can come as side-by-side or inline convertible models.

Stability

Whether you have twins or children of similar age, a double tandem pushchair makes travelling with two of them much easier and more comfortable. But, with so many designs and configurations available it is difficult to know which one is the best for your family. Some are better suited to running, while others can accommodate a third passenger when you add a buggyboard. Which ones are the most stable however?

The CYBEX Gazelle is a great option for children who are the same age. They can be difficult to maneuver through narrow entrances or aisles of shopping. In this scenario you may be better off with a stadium model like the Bugaboo Donkey, or Mountain Buggy Duet. These models let your children either face you or another depending on their setup.

Tandem models, which place one behind the next is more manageable, but still not as stable than single strollers or child car seats. They can be a challenge to push up curbs, and they might have less storage space than a side by side pushchair.

You should test the double with both seats in place as that is how you'll be using it the most. You should test how easy it is to navigate and steer, especially in tight corners or with the front wheels that swivel. It is a good idea to test the brakes too because they may be difficult to operate when both child seats are in use.

If you're looking for a top-quality double stroller that can do it all look no further than the Phil and Teds Sport Double. This sleek compact pushchair can be converted from a single to tandem in a few easy steps. The seat and carrycot can be used either parent-facing or facing each other. The air-filled tires and all terrain double stroller-wheel suspension enable it to conquer different terrains. The seat comes with a handy storage basket under the seat, but this is partially restricted by the second child's seat.

Comfort

There is a double stroller suitable for every family, whether you have twins, a toddler or a newborn. They can generally transport both children side by side but some can transform into single pushchairs (although this will often involve taking off one seat). They tend to be larger than a single pushchair, however, they are generally able to provide ultra flexibility and value for price.

In our most recent double stroller reviews, we sought feedback from testers on a variety of things, including the comfort of riding, handling and how well the pushchair folded. They also noted how easy it was to get the car seat in and out, and whether it could be used with a baby carrier.

The Stroller & Co City Tour 2 Double is an excellent example of a comfortable, flexible and lightweight double stroller. Our reviewers praised the generous UPF 50+ canopy that offers real shade and comes with a peekaboo window, while both seats recline into a variety of positions with just the press of the button. One seat can even be set to lie flat, meaning babies can sleep peacefully in the carrycot which is attached to it.

The reversible seat lining made of bamboo that is naturally antibacterial, on one side and soft Jersey on the other is another excellent feature. Our test subjects also appreciated the fact that you can fold it with one hand which is a huge benefit when you have two small children to watch.

Side-by-side models are generally more expensive than tandem buggies, but they offer the most flexibility since they are designed to fit into narrow doors and aisles. They can be difficult to navigate up kerbs and heavy to push, however, they come with an inclined front load that helps balance the overall weight.

Flexibility

If you're looking for a way to keep your twins in close proximity or have a newborn and a toddler, a cheap double buggy tandem double stroller pushchair can be a valuable addition to your family. This will keep your children content by keeping them from arguing or waking each other up. This type of buggy is also ideal for those who plan to use it on public transportation because it is more easily incorporated into the space available.

Some models can offer the ultimate flexibility, and can be converted back to single mode when your baby is ready to use a stroller without needing to purchase a completely new one. The UPPAbaby V2 Double is able to fit two infant car seats in the back and a riding board making it suitable for three kids. It can even be utilized with a stroller seat and a suitcase that can roll for parents which allows you to travel light while still having everything your family needs.

The Joovy Caboose Ultralight Graphite double running buggy stroller has a distinct design than the competition but offers many of the same features that we have outlined in our top choices. It folds easily and can be inserted into the majority of doors. The basket underneath the carriage is also higher which makes it easier to load groceries. The rear seat is protected, so your child will be protected in the winter.

A tandem is narrower than a side-by-side, making it difficult to navigate narrow aisles in shops or on busy walking routes. However, it's more maneuverable on rocky terrain than a standard dual pushchair. Some of these pushchairs can be difficult to steer, particularly when your child weighs more.

A double-inline pushchair is the best option for most families. It can be used as a twin pram for children who are young, but it can also be transformed into a tandem when they get older. Certain models, such as the iCandy Peach 3+ can accept two iSize car seats. This gives you the maximum flexibility and value.

Stores

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

Some models, like the Joolz Geo or the Uppababy Vista V2 are able to be converted to tandem pushchairs. This can be a good option when you're planning to have another child in the near future, and it extends the life of your buggy. It may be difficult to convert it back into only one seat after your older child has grown out of it.
