Which Double Tandem Pushchair is Best For Your Family?

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

From Phil & Teds, to Baby Jogger, most brands offer a double stroller as part of their product range. 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 ages. It makes the journey of two children more comfortable and less stressful. There are so many styles and configurations available it can be hard to know which one is best for your family. Some are better suited for jogging than others, or can be a third-seater when you add a buggy board. Which ones are the most stable, though?

Side-by-side pushchairs (like the CYBEX Gazelle S) are great for transporting children who are the same age. However they can be difficult to maneuver through narrow doors and shopping aisles. In this scenario you might be better off with models that are stadium-style like the Bugaboo Donkey, or Mountain Buggy Duet. These models allow your children to either face you or another according to their configuration.

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

To gain a real feeling for the stability of a double, it is important to test it with both seats in use because that is the way you will be using it the most often. It is important to test how easy it is to navigate and steer, especially in tight corners or with the swivel front wheels. It is a good idea to test the brakes as well as they can be difficult to operate if both child seats are attached.

The Phil & Teds Sports Double is a great double stroller for those who want a quality stroller that is affordable and able to do it all. This sleek, compact pushchair can be transformed from a single to a tandem in a couple of simple steps. The seat and carrycot recline and can be used either facing the parent or facing each other and the air-filled tyres and all-wheel suspension make it perfect for tackling a range of terrains. It has a handy underseat storage basket, however access to it is blocked when the second seat is installed.

Comfort

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

In our recent nipper double buggy pushchair reviews, we asked users to rate each model on a variety of factors, including ride comfort, ease of use and how well it folded. They also evaluated the ease of getting in and out of the car seat, as well as whether or not it could be used along with baby carriers.

The Stroller & Co City Tour 2 Double is a great example of a flexible, comfortable and light dual stroller. Our reviewers were impressed by its spacious UPF 50+ canopy, which offers real shade and the option of peekaboo. Both seats can recline into various positions by pressing the button. One seat can be made to lie flat so that a newborn can sleep on the carrycot over it.

The reversible seat lining with bamboo which is naturally antibacterial on one hand and soft Jersey on the other is an great feature. The ability to be folded in just one hand is an excellent feature, particularly when you have to watch two small children.

They're more expensive, but they can provide greater flexibility because they can fit through narrow aisles and doors. They aren't easy to maneuver up kerbs and can be heavy to push but they have an inclined front load that helps balance the overall weight.

Flexibility

If you're looking for a way to keep your twins close or have a newborn and a toddler, the sit n stand double stroller tandem pushchair can be a great addition to your family. It will help you avoid the annoyance of kids waking one another up or fighting out and about, keeping them both content. This kind of buggy is also ideal when you plan to take it on public transport because it will be more easily incorporated into the space available.

Some models can offer the ultimate flexibility, and can be converted to single mode once your baby is ready to use a stroller without needing to buy an entirely new one. The UPPAbaby double pushchair from birth can accommodate two infant car seats at the back as well as a riding board making it suitable for three children. It can be used alongside the stroller and a roll-away case for the parents. This allows you to travel light while having everything your family requires.

The Joovy Caboose Ultralight Graphite is a distinct style of double stroller from the competition, but it offers the same features that you'll find in our top-rated picks. It's easy to fold and can fit through most doorways. The basket underneath the carriage is also taller which makes it easier to load groceries. Its rear seat is also covered to keep your child warm in winter.

A tandem is narrower than a side-by-side, which makes it difficult to navigate narrow aisles in shops or busy walking routes. However, it's easier to manoeuvre on rocky terrain than a standard dual pushchair. Some of these prams may be difficult to steer, especially when your child weighs more.

It can be used as twin buggy prams when your children are young, but it can also be transformed into a tandem when they grow older. Certain models, such as the iCandy Peach 3+ can accept two iSize car seats. This gives you maximum flexibility and value.

The main disadvantage of double buggy is that it could take up more space on public transport and may be harder to maneuver through narrow doors and lifts. They also tend to be more expensive, especially side-by-side models that have a second seat in front.

Some models can be converted from single pushchairs to tandem models like the Joolz Geo and the Uppababy Vista V2. This is a cost-effective option if you plan to have a second child in the future. It also increases the lifespan of your buggy. However, it could be difficult to convert it back to a single when your older child has outgrown it.
