The 10 Most Scariest Things About Double Tandem Pushchair

Which Double Tandem Pushchair is Best For Your Family?

If you're planning for twins or another child, there are plenty of products that can help make life with children moving around easier. One of them is the double tandem pushchair.

The majority of brands offer a double buggy as part of their product range, ranging from Phil & Teds to Baby Jogger. They can be side-by-side or convertible models inline.

Stability

Whether you have twins or children who are close in age, a double tandem pushchair makes travelling with two of them much easier and more comfortable. There are so many styles and configurations to choose from that it can be a challenge to decide which one is best for your family. Some are more suitable for jogging, while others can accommodate a third passenger by adding buggyboards. Which ones are the most stable, but?

Side-by-side pushchairs (like the CYBEX Gazelle S) are ideal for transporting children of the same age. They aren't easy to navigate through narrow doors or shopping aisles. In this case, 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 configuration.

Tandem models that seat one behind the other are easier to manage than side-byside pushchairs, however they're not as sturdy as single strollers or car seats. They aren't easy to push up curbs, and they may have less storage space than a side-by-side pushchair.

You should test the double with both seats in place because that's the way you'll be using it the most. It is important to test how easy it is to navigate and steer, especially in tight corners or when using the swivel front wheels. It is a good idea to test the brakes, too as they can 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 and compact stroller can be converted from a single unit to tandem in two easy steps. The seat and carrycot can be used as a parent-facing or facing each other. Its air-filled tires as well as all-wheel suspension enable it to tackle different terrains. It comes with a handy underseat storage basket, however access to this is partially blocked when the second seat is installed.

Comfort

There is a double stroller for every family, whether you have twins or a toddler newborn. They can be used to transport two kids in tandem, but some can be converted into one pushchair (though this will usually require taking off one seat). They tend to be larger than a single pushchair, but the majority offer ultra flexibility and a good value for money.

In our latest 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 rated the ease of putting in and taking out the car seat, as well as whether it could be used with the baby carrier.

The Stroller & Co City Tour 2 Double is a great example of a flexible, comfortable and lightweight double stroller with car seat stroller. Our reviewers praised the generous UPF 50+ canopy, which offers real shade and comes with an opening window for peekaboos, and the seats can recline to various positions at the touch of the button. One seat can be made to lay flat so that a newborn can sleep in the carrycot above it.

The reversible seat lining made of bamboo which is naturally antibacterial, on one side and soft Jersey on the other side is an fantastic feature. The fact that it can be folded with just one hand is also an excellent feature, particularly when you have to watch two little ones.

Side-by-side models are typically more expensive than tandem buggies, however they can provide ultimate flexibility as they are usually designed to fit in narrow aisles and doors. They can be difficult to move up kerbs, and heavy to push, but they do have an inclined front load that helps to distribute the weight.

Flexibility

If you're looking for a way to keep your twins together or have a toddler and newborn, a double jogging stroller tandem pushchair can be an invaluable addition to your family. It can assist you in avoiding the irritation of children who wake each other or fighting while on the move, and keep the two of them happy. This type of buggy is ideal if you're planning to use it on public transportation, as it can be more easily incorporated into the space available.

Some models are extremely flexible that allow you to switch back to single mode as soon as your child is ready to use strollers. This allows you to not have to buy an entirely new stroller. The UPPAbaby Double can accommodate two infant car seats in the back and a ridingboard making it suitable for three children. It can be used with a stroller as well as 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 an entirely different type of double stroller from the competition, but it offers the same features you'll find in our top-rated choices. We love that it folds with a hand and fits easily through doorways, and that the undercarriage basket is taller, making it easier to store your shopping into. The rear seat is covered to keep your child warm during winter.

A side-by-side pushchair is larger than a tandem, making it harder to navigate crowded walkways or narrow aisles in shops. It is also easier to maneuver on rocky terrain compared to a standard double pushchair. Some of these pushchairs could be difficult to steer through tight turns, particularly if your heavier child is in the front seat.

A double inline pushchair is a good option for the majority of families. It can usually be used as a twin pram when your children are young, but can also convert to a tandem when they're older. Some models, such as the iCandy Peach 3+, can accommodate two i-Size car seats, giving you ultimate flexibility and the best value for money.

Storage

The main disadvantage of 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 also tend to be more expensive, particularly side-by-side models that have a second seat in front.

Some models, such as the Joolz Geo or the Uppababy Vista V2 can be converted into tandem pushchairs. This can be cost effective if you're planning on having another baby at some point and also extends the lifespan of your buggy. It may be difficult to convert it back into one seat once your older child is out of it.

Stadium Duo is a lightweight compact stroller that is ideal for urban adventures. It has a one-click, fold with one hand and an automatic storage lock, plus it's compatible with 2 SnugEssentials or SnugRide i-Size infant car seats* for hassle-free transitions. The raised seating style gives the kids a stunning view of the world. And it's easy to connect your infant car seat to the rear or front of the stroller in just one click. There's a large shopping basket and tray for parents, so you can bring everything you need to get out.
