How To Become A Prosperous Tandem Double Buggy If You're Not Business-Savvy

Buying a Tandem Double Buggy

A tandem double buggy could be a great choice for twins or children who are very close in age. They're narrower than side-by-side buggies and ideal for navigating tight spaces, such as doors, on public transport and on rocky terrain.

Many convert into travel systems to take 2 carrycots or car seats. They can be heavier, longer and less stable than a single pushchair.

Convertible

If you're looking for a convertible single-to-double stroller or want to add another seat to an existing one, there are several options available. The UPPAbaby V2 is a large, beautiful stroller. It is easily changed from a single to a dual by adding the rumble seat. However, it's expensive and less mobile than other double strollers because the 2nd seat goes to the left of the front seat. Nuna Demi Grow provides a similar choice, but it lacks storage under the seat when it's used as a double stroller.

Other alternatives include twin buggies with all-terrain wheels and joggers with fixed wheels that can accommodate two kids. They are more expensive, however, they are designed to last longer on rough terrain and have more expensive resales.

Independent seat recline

If you require a double buggy that is able to transport children of various age groups, then you'll need a buggy that has an independent seat recline for both seats. This will allow your child's older to relax in the back while the baby sleeps in the bassinet and reverse.

You'll also need to consider the width of the pushchair as this will affect how easy it is to navigate through doors and on public transportation. If you have narrow doors, it could be a good idea to consider a side-byside pushchair such as the Mountain Buggy Duet which has the benefit of having a footprint that is similar to a single buggy however it can take 2 seats and car seat adaptors.

Tandem buggies generally are slightly longer than side-by-side models and therefore aren't difficult to maneuver around kerbs however they can be able to accommodate a bigger range of seat/carrycot/car seat combinations and are a great option for twins or siblings of various age groups. They are also more expensive than single-to-double buggies but are a good investment if you intend to keep it for many years and will have a decent amount of resale value should you decide to sell it after your children have grown out of it.

This feature will allow you to place your child in the most comfortable position for naps and observation. This is particularly important if you have a younger child in the rear seat who may be inclined to lie down and sleep while the more mature child wants to sit up and look around their surroundings.

Certain brands have a unique design that allows the back of their vehicles to recline into a position that's almost flat, perfect for infants. For example the iCandy Orange has raised stadium-style seating and can recline both the toddler seat included and the add-on RumbleSeat to multiple positions, so your kids can have the option of where they want to sit as well as offering an excellent UPF 50+ canopy with windows that peek out.

Wider than twin buggies

There's no need to have twins to benefit from a bigger  double buggy . They're great for siblings of different age groups. They allow you to go about your day without having to worry about your children touching each other. They're typically a bit larger with one seat placed behind the other, and typically with a fully-flat recline option for infants (or a more upright position for toddlers).

Mountain Buggy Duet is a popular choice. It is the slimmest design of the two-in-ones on the market, and a footprint comparable to the footprint of a single stroller. It also comes with an adjustable handle, which makes it easier for parents of different heights to push and an adjustable handbrake, which is helpful when climbing difficult hills. It is suitable to use from birth and it can be combined with a range of car seats and carrycots.

The iCandy Wave is another option. It can be folded in mono or duo mode with just a single click. The frame's clever design can be expanded widthwise to allow for a second seat and it can be used with up to two carrycots or car seats which makes it an ideal choice for older siblings who want to sit in a group and share the view. It's a little larger than other models, but it still feels light and has a comfortable suspension for curbs.

There are a lot of 3-wheeler tandems inline available - check out Phil and Teds inline models, or iCandy's Peach and Pear buggies for instance they offer stability and swift steering. They can be folded into a single buggy if you have limited space at home or you need to transport it from your car to the bus.

Be aware that a double wide buggy will be heavier and bulkier than one that is compact. Be sure you know what you want before you buy. You'll need to take it on and off trains, buses and subways frequently, so it must be easy to use and manage. You may also have to move it on and off the car seat while taking your children to nursery or school so you'll need to know it's easy to maneuver in tight spaces.

From your birth, you are an ideal candidate

You'll need a pushchair for your entire family, whether you're expecting twins, or you have a second child after you've had your first. Double buggies tend to be slightly heavier, bulkier and cost more than single strollers, but they can also be easier to maneuver through narrower doors or around obstacles such as curbs. They are also compatible with piggyback ride-along boards (either from the manufacturer or through an accessory purchase) to allow you to transport three children at the same time.

Tandem pushchairs put one child in front of the other. They are a good option for children who are close in age and get along well. However, they're not 100% secure Siblings in a side-by-side seat can kick or punch each other, and kids with different heights may argue over who should sit higher. This issue can be resolved by a tandem high-low design that elevates the seat in the back. Your child's older will not be sitting at the lowest part of the car and won't get much of an opportunity to see.

The iCandy Wave is a good option for parents who are looking for a convertible double buggy with a carrycot that can fit both infants and an older child. It features a clever frame which expands in width when you add a second child seat. It folds flat to make it a compact storage. The cushioned seats, straps and buckles are all of the highest quality we have seen in any of our tests. The seats can be reclined independently, and the canopies are spacious and large with UPF 50+ protection as well as windows that can be seen from a distance.

The only drawback of the iCandy is that it's a little on the expensive side however, a good tandem will last for years and retain its resale value. So you'll probably get back some of the cost in the long run. The iCandy doesn't have the same seating arrangements as our other top selections. However, it's an excellent choice for families that don't want spend lots of money.
