Which Double Tandem Pushchair is best compact double stroller For Your Family?

If you're planning for twins or a second child there are plenty of products to make your life with children on the move more comfortable. One of them is the double tandem pushchair.

The majority of brands have double buggy options as part of their range, from Phil & Teds to Baby Jogger. They can come as side-by-side or inline convertible models.

Stability

If you have twins, or children who are close in age, a double to single buggy tandem pushchair makes travelling with two of them much easier and more comfortable. However, there are so many different styles and configurations out there it is difficult to know which one is suitable for your family. Some are better for jogging than others, or can be a third-seater when you add on buggy boards. Which ones are the most sturdy?

The CYBEX Gazelle is a great option for transporting children the same age. They can be difficult to maneuver through narrow entrances or shopping aisles. In this case you may be better off with an arena model like the Bugaboo Donkey, or Mountain Buggy Duet. These models let your children face either you or eachother depending on their configuration.

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

To get a really good feel for the stability of a double, it is important to test it with both seats in use, as this is how you will be using it the most frequently. You should test the ease with which you can navigate and steer, particularly in tight corners or when using the front wheels that swivel. Also, you should check the brakes, as they might be difficult to operate when the child and infant seats are attached.

If you're looking to purchase a premium double stroller at a reasonable price that does everything take a look at the Phil & Teds Sport Double. This sleek and compact stroller can be converted from a single model to an asymmetrical model in just few steps. The seat and carrycot both recline and can be used parent-facing or facing one another, and the air-filled tyres and all-wheel suspension make it ideal for tackling a variety of terrains. The seat comes with an excellent storage basket beneath the seat, but it is partially blocked by the second child's seat.

Comfort

There is a double stroller 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 to a single pushchair (though this usually requires taking off one seat). Most are wider than a single stroller, but they offer an excellent value and versatility.

In our recent double stroller reviews, we asked our testers to give their opinions on a variety of things including the comfort of riding, handling and how well the stroller folded. They also rated the ease with which they could take the car seat into and out, and if it could be used in conjunction with a baby carrier.

The Stroller & Co City Tour 2 double stroller for twins is a great example of a comfortable, flexible and lightweight dual stroller. Our reviewers praised the generous UPF 50+ canopy which provides shade and has a peekaboo window, while both seats recline into a variety of positions with just the press of one button. One seat can be made to lie flat so that a newborn can sleep on the carrycot over it.

Other great features of this model include the padded handlebar that comes with a cup pouch and holder, the easy-to-use braking system, and the reversible seat liner made of bamboo that is naturally anti-bacterial on one side and soft jersey on the other. Our testers also loved the fact that you can fold it in one hand and that's a major advantage when you have two small children to watch.

They are more expensive, but they can provide greater flexibility due to their ability to be able to pass through narrow doors and aisles. They can be difficult to push and can be difficult to move up kerbs but most do have an front-loaded weight that helps to keep the load in balance.

Flexibility

If you're looking for a way to keep your twins close or have a newborn and a toddler, a double tandem pushchair can be a valuable addition to your family. It can keep your children happy by preventing them from arguing or waking one other up. This type of buggy may be ideal for those who plan to take it on public transportation because it is more convenient to fit in the available space.

Some models can offer an extreme degree of flexibility, including the ability to switch to single mode once your youngest is ready for a stroller without needing to purchase a completely new one. The UPPAbaby V2 Double is able to fit two infant car seats in the back and a ridingboard making it suitable for three children. It can be used in conjunction with a stroller and a rolling case for the parents. This lets you travel light while having everything your family requires.

The Joovy Caboose Ultralight Graphite double stroller is a different design than the competition but offers many of the same features as our top choices. We love that it can be folded with the use of a hand and can easily slide through doorways, and that the undercarriage basket is higher to make it easier to store your on shopping. The back seat is protected to keep your kid warm during winter.

A side-by-side pram is wider than a tandem, making it difficult to navigate walkways or narrow aisles in shops. It can be easier to maneuver on rough terrain than a standard double pushchair. Some of these prams may be difficult to steer during tight turns, especially if your heavier child is in the front seat.

A double inline pushchair is the best option for families with multiple children. It can be used as twin prams for children who are young but it could also be transformed into a tandem when they get older. Certain models, such as the iCandy Peach 3+ can accept two iSize car seat. This gives you the maximum flexibility and value.

Storage

The main drawback of double buggy is that it can take up more space on public transport and may be harder to maneuver through narrow doors and lifts. They also tend to be more expensive, particularly side-by-side models with a second seat in front.

Certain models, like the Joolz Geo or the Uppababy Vista V2 are able to be converted into tandem pushchairs. This is a great option if you're planning on having another child at some point and also extends the life of your buggy. It can be difficult to convert it back to one seat once your older child grows out of it.
