Which Double Tandem Pushchair is Best For Your Family?

There are a variety of products that can make the life of a parent with twins or two children easier. The double tandem pushchair is a prime example of the most popular.

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

Stability

If you have twins, or children close in age, the double tandem pushchair makes travelling with two of them much easier and more comfortable. But, with so many styles and configurations available it is difficult to know which one is best for your family. Some are better for jogging than others, or accommodate a third seat if you add on buggy boards. But which ones are the most solid?

Side-by-side pushchairs (like the CYBEX Gazelle S) are ideal for transporting children of the same age. They can be difficult to maneuver through narrow doorways or aisles of shopping. In this case you might prefer an arena model, such as the Bugaboo Donkey, or Mountain Buggy Duet. These models allow your children to face either you or eachother depending on their configuration.

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

You should test the smallest double buggy with both seats in place because that's the way you'll use it the most. Examine the ease with which it is for you to steer and navigate the vehicle, particularly in tight corners or with the front wheels that swivel. It is a good idea to test the brakes as well, as they can be difficult to operate when both child seats are attached.

The Phil & Teds Sports Double is a great double running stroller stroller for those who want a durable stroller at a reasonable price that can be used for all. This sleek compact pushchair can convert from a single to a tandem in just few steps. The seat and carrycot can be used either parent-facing or facing one another. The air-filled tires and all-wheel suspension let it conquer a variety of terrains. The seat comes with a handy storage basket under the seat, however this is partially hidden by the second child's seat.

Comfort

There is a double stroller that is suitable for every family, whether you have twins or a toddler newborn. Typically, they can carry both children side-by-side but some transform into single pushchairs (although this will often involve removing one seat). They are generally larger than a single stroller but they offer the best double strollers value and versatility.

In our recent double review of pushchairs, we asked users to rate each model based on a variety of factors including ride comfort, handling ease 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 a baby carrier.

The Stroller & Co City Tour 2 Double stroller is a fantastic example of lightweight, comfortable and flexible double stroller. Our reviewers were impressed by the large UPF 50+ canopy that provides shade and has an open window that can be seen from the outside, and the seats can recline to various positions with the push of one button. One seat can be made to lie flat so that babies can sleep peacefully in the carrycot that is attached to it.

The reversible seat lining with bamboo that naturally antibacterial, on one side and soft Jersey on the other side is an great feature. The ability to be folded in one hand is a great feature, especially when you're looking after two children.

They are more expensive, but they can provide greater flexibility due to their ability to fit through narrow aisles and doors. They can be difficult to move up kerbs, and can be heavy to push but they have a front-loaded load that helps to balance the weight.

Flexibility

A double tandem pushchair can be an ideal addition to any family, regardless of whether you have twins or a baby. It can reduce the stress of children waking one another up or fighting on the move, and keep the two of them happy. This type of buggy is also great for those who plan to use it on public transportation because it is easier to fit it in the space available.

Some models can offer an extreme degree of flexibility, including the ability to switch to single mode once your youngest is ready for strollers without having to purchase a completely new one. The UPPAbaby V2 Double is able to accommodate two infant car seats in the back and a ridingboard which makes it ideal for three children. It can also be used with a stroller seat and a roll-away suitcase for the parents which allows you to travel light but still bringing everything your family requires.

The Joovy Caboose Ultralight Graphite is an entirely different type of double stroller from the rest, yet it offers the same features as in our top selections. We like how it folds in hands and easily through doorways, and the basket under the carriage is taller, making it easier to store your on shopping. The back seat is protected to keep your kid warm in winter.

A tandem is narrower than a side-byside, making it difficult to navigate narrow aisles in stores or busy walking routes. However, it's easier to manoeuvre on rocky terrain than a standard dual pushchair. Some of these prams can be difficult to steer, especially when your child is heavier.

A double pushchair that is inline, on the other hand is a better choice for most families. It can usually be used as a twin stroller with car seats pram when your children are younger, but can also convert into a tandem when they're older. Some models, like the iCandy Peach 3+ can accommodate two iSize car seats. This allows you to have the most flexibility and value.

Storage

The main drawback of a double pushchair from birth-buggy can be that it takes up more room on public transport and is more difficult to maneuver through narrow doorways or lifts. They also cost more and are more expensive for side-by-side models, especially those that have a second seat in the in front.

Certain models, like the Joolz Geo or the Uppababy Vista V2, can be converted to tandem pushchairs. This is a great option in the event that you're planning to have another baby at some point and also extends the lifespan of your buggy. However, it can be difficult to convert back to a single once your older child has outgrown it.

It features a one-click one-hand fold, an automatic lock for storage and is compatible with two SnugEssentials infant car seats or SnugRide SnugSize infant car seatsfor a seamless transition.
