Which Double Tandem Pushchair is Best For Your Family?

There are many items that can make the life of parents of twins or two children easier. One of them is the double tandem pushchair.

Most brands have a double buggy as part of their line, ranging from Phil & Teds to Baby Jogger. They are available as side-by-side or inline convertible models.

Stability

A double tandem pushchair is ideal for families with twins or children with similar ages. It makes traveling with two children much more comfortable and easier. However, there are so many styles and configurations out there it can be difficult to determine which one is best for your family. Some are better suited to running, while others can accommodate a third person by adding buggyboards. Which ones are most sturdy?

Side-by-side pushchairs (like the CYBEX Gazelle S) are ideal for transporting children of the same age. They aren't easy to maneuver through narrow doorways or shopping aisles. In this situation it is best using a model that is stadium-style such as the Bugaboo Donkey or Mountain Buggy Duet which allows children to either face you or each other depending on the configuration.

Tandem models that seat one behind the other are more manageable than side-by-side pushchairs, but they are still not as sturdy as single strollers or car seats. They can also be tough to climb up curbs and may have less storage capacity than a side-byside pushchair.

It is recommended to test the double with both seats in place, as that is how you'll use it the most. You should test how easy it is to navigate and steer, particularly in tight corners or with the swivel front wheels. It is recommended to test the brakes as well because they may be difficult to operate if the child and adult seats are both attached.

If you're looking for a top-quality double stroller at a reasonable price that can do it all you need, then look no further than the Phil and Teds Sport sit n stand double stroller. This sleek and compact stroller can be converted from a single to an asymmetrical model in just a few simple steps. The carrycot and seat can be used either parent-facing or facing each other. Its air-filled tires and all-wheel suspension enable it to conquer a variety of terrains. The seat comes with a handy storage basket under the seat, but it is partially restricted by the second child's seat.

Comfort

There's a double stroller suitable for every family, whether you have twins, a toddler or a newborn. They can generally transport both children side-by-side but some transform into single pushchairs (although this is usually involving the removal of one seat). They are generally larger than a single stroller, but they provide great value and flexibility.

In our recent double stroller reviews, asked our testers to give their opinions on a variety of factors, including the comfort of the ride, handling ease and how well the pushchair folded. They also noted the ease with which they could get the car seat in and out and whether it could be used with a baby car.

The Stroller & Co City Tour 2 Double is an excellent example of a flexible, comfortable and lightweight double stroller. The reviewers who reviewed it praised its large UPF 50+ canopy, which provides real shade with a peekaboo feature. Both seats can recline into multiple positions by pressing the button. One seat can be set to lay flat so the baby can sleep in the carrycot above it.

Other great features of this pushchair are the padded handlebar that comes with a cup holder and pouch and the easy-to-use brake system and the reversible seating liner made of bamboo that is naturally anti-bacterial on one side and soft jersey on the other. The fact that it can be folded with just one hand is also an excellent feature, particularly when you're looking after two children.

They're more expensive, but can offer greater flexibility because they can be able to pass through narrow doors and aisles. They aren't easy to navigate up kerbs and can be heavy to push but they have a front-loaded load that helps to distribute the weight.

Flexibility

Whether you're looking to keep your twins in close proximity or have a baby and toddler, the double tandem pushchair can be a great addition to your family. This can keep your children content by keeping them from arguing or waking each other up. This type of buggy may also be great when you intend to take it on public transport, as it is easier to fit 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 lets you avoid buying an entirely new stroller. The UPPAbaby V2 Double can fit two infant car seats at the back as well as a riding board, making it perfect for three kids. It can be used with the stroller and a roll-away case for parents. This allows you to travel light, while still having everything your family needs.

The Joovy Caboose Ultralight Graphite is a different style of double stroller than the competition, but it offers the same features as in our top choices. We love that it folds in hands and easily through doorways, and that the undercarriage basket is taller to make it easier to drop shopping into. The rear seat is covered, so your child will be kept warm in winter.

A side-byside pram is bigger than a tandem, making it difficult to navigate walkways or narrow aisles in shops. However, it can be more maneuverable on rocky terrain than a standard pushchair. Some of these pushchairs could be difficult to steer through tight turns, especially when your child is heavier in the front seat.

An inline Double stroller lightweight pushchair however, is a better option for most families. It can usually be used as a tandem pram when your children are younger however, it can also be converted into a tandem once they're older. Some models, such as the iCandy Peach 3+, can accommodate two i-Size car seats, giving you maximum flexibility and price-for-value.

Stores

The main drawback of a double buggy could be that it takes up more room on public transport, and is difficult to maneuver through narrow doors or lifts. They can also be more expensive, especially side-by-side models with a second passenger in the front.

Some models, like the Joolz Geo or the Uppababy Vista V2 can be converted into tandem pushchairs. This is a great option if you plan to have another baby in the future. It also extends the life span of your buggy. It's not easy to convert it back to a single seat when your older child is out of it.

Stadium Duo is the perfect dual stroller for urban adventures. It's compact sit and stand double stroller lightweight. It features a one-click, fold-in-one-hand and an the ability to lock storage automatically, and it's compatible with 2 SnugEssentials or SnugRide i-Size infant car seats* to ensure seamless transitions. The elevated stadium-style seating provides both kids a great view of the world. Additionally, you can easily connect your infant car seat to the rear or front of the stroller with just a single click. There's also a large shopping basket and tray for parents, so you can bring everything you need to get out. The suspension and swivel wheel provide a smooth ride and ensure greater maneuverability. The 5-point safety belts on both seats also increase the safety of your child.
