The 10 Scariest Things About Double Tandem Pushchair

Which Double Tandem Pushchair is Best For Your Family?

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

From Phil & Teds, to Baby Jogger, most brands offer a double stroller in their product range. They can be side-by-side or inline convertible models.

Stability

If you have twins, or children of similar age, a double tandem pushchair makes traveling with two children much easier and more comfortable. There are so many styles and configurations available that it is difficult to pick the best one for your family. Some are more suitable for running, while others can accommodate a third person with buggyboards. Which ones are the most stable however?

The CYBEX Gazelle is a great option for children who are the same age. They aren't easy to navigate through narrow doors or shopping aisles. In this case, you may be better off with models that are stadium-style like the Bugaboo Donkey, or Mountain Buggy Duet. These models allow your children to face you or the other depending on their configuration.

Tandem models, which put one behind the other can be more manageable, however they are still not as stable than single strollers or car seats for children. They can also be difficult to navigate around curbs and may have less storage space than a side-by-side pushchair.

To get a good impression of the stability of doubles, you have to test it out using both seats because that is the way you will be using it most often. You should check how easy it is to navigate and steer, especially in tight corners or with the front wheels that swivel. It is also important to check the brakes, as they can be difficult to use when both child seats have been installed.

The Phil and Teds Sports Double is the perfect double stroller for those who are looking for a high-quality, affordable stroller that can do it all. This stylish compact stroller can be changed from a single model to tandem in just a few steps. The carrycot and seat can be used as a parent-facing or facing one another. Its air-filled tires and all-wheel suspension enable it to take on various terrains. It also comes with an underseat storage basket, however access to this is partially blocked when the second seat is installed.

Comfort

There is a double stroller that is suitable for any family, regardless of whether you have twins, a toddler or a newborn. They can be used to transport two children together, however many can be converted into a single pushchair (though this will usually require the removal of one seat). They are typically wider than a single buggy however, they are generally able to provide ultra flexibility and good value for price.

In our recent double stroll reviews, we sought feedback from testers on a variety of things including ride comfort, handling ease and how well the stroller folded. They also assessed the ease of getting in and out of the car seat, as well as whether it could be used along with the baby carrier.

The Stroller & Co City Tour 2 Double is a great example of a flexible, comfortable and lightweight double buggy double stroller. Our reviewers praised the generous UPF 50+ canopy which provides shade and has a peekaboo window, while the seats can recline to various positions at the touch of a button. One seat can be set to lay flat so a newborn can sleep on the carrycot over it.

Other excellent features on this pushchair include the padded handlebar with cup pouch and holder, the easy-to-use braking system and the reversible seat liner that is naturally antibacterial bamboo on one side and soft jersey on the other. Our testers also loved the fact that it is able to fold it in one hand and that's a major advantage when you have two small children to keep an eye on.

They are more expensive but can offer greater flexibility because they can be able to pass through narrow doors and aisles. They can be heavy to push and difficult to manoeuvre up kerbs, but most do have an front-loaded weight that helps balance the overall load.

Flexibility

Whether you're looking to keep your twins together or have a newborn and a toddler, a double tandem pushchair can be a great addition to your family. This can keep your children happy by keeping them from fighting or waking each other up. This type of buggy is also great when you plan to take it on public transport because it is easier to fit into the space available.

Some models provide the ultimate flexibility, and can be converted back to single mode when your child is ready for strollers without having to purchase a new one. The UPPAbaby Vista Double, for instance it can fit two infant car seats and a riding board that is in 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 having everything your family requires.

The Joovy Caboose Ultralight Graphite is a distinct style of double stroller than the other models, yet it comes with the same features as in our top choices. We like the fact that it can be folded with hands and easily through doorways, and that the basket underneath is taller to make it easier to store your shopping in. Its rear seat is also covered to keep your child warm during winter.

A tandem is more narrow than a side-by-side, making it difficult to navigate narrow aisles in shops or on busy walking routes. It is more maneuverable on rocky terrain than a conventional double pushchair. Some of these prams can be difficult to steer, especially when your child is larger.

A double pushchair that is inline, on the other hand is a better choice for the majority of families. It is typically used as a twin pram if your children are young but it is also able to be converted to a tandem when they're older. Some models, such as the iCandy Peach 3+, can accept two i-Size car seats, giving you the ultimate flexibility and price-for-value.

Storage

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

Certain models, like the Joolz Geo or the Uppababy Vista V2, can be converted into tandem pushchairs. This can be cost effective in the event that you're planning to have another child at some point and also extends the life of your buggy. It's not easy to convert it back to only one seat after your older child has grown out of it.
