Double Tandem Pushchair: What's The Only Thing Nobody Is Discussing

Which Double Tandem Pushchair is Best For Your Family?

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

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

Stability

A double tandem pushchair is perfect for families with twins or children with similar age. It makes travelling with two children more comfortable and easier. There are so many designs and configurations that it can be a challenge to choose the right one for your family. Some are better for running than others, or can fit a third seat when you add on a buggy board. Which ones are the most solid?

Side-by-side pushchairs (like the CYBEX Gazelle S) are great for transporting children who are the same age. However they can be a challenge to maneuver around narrow entrances and aisles for shopping. In this situation, you may prefer models that are stadium-style, such as the Bugaboo Donkey, or Mountain Buggy Duet. These models allow your children to either face you or another depending on their configuration.

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

In order to get a good impression of the stability of a double, you need to test it out with both seats on, as this is how you will use it most often. Test the ease with which it is to maneuver and steer the vehicle, particularly in tight corners or using the front wheels that can swivel. It is recommended to test the brakes too as they can be difficult to operate when both child seats are attached.

The Phil and Teds Sports Double is the perfect double stroller for those who want a quality, affordable stroller that can perform all. This stylish compact pushchair can convert from a single unit to an asymmetrical model in just a few simple steps. The seat and the carrycot both recline and can be used parent-facing or facing one another, and the air-filled tyres and all-wheel suspension make it perfect for tackling a range of terrains. It comes with a handy underseat storage basket but access to this is partially restricted when the second seat is placed.

Comfort

There's a double stroller suitable for every family, whether you have twins, a toddler or a newborn. They can be used to transport two children in tandem, but some can be converted to one pushchair (though this usually requires taking off one seat). They tend to be wider than a single buggy, however, they are generally able to provide ultra flexibility and a good value for price.

In our most recent double review of pushchairs, we asked testers to score each model based on a variety of aspects, including comfort, handling ease and how well it folded. They also noted the ease with which they could take the car seat in and out, and if it could be used in conjunction with a baby carrier.

The Stroller & Co City Tour 2 Double is a fantastic example of a comfortable, flexible and lightweight double stroller. The reviewers who reviewed it praised its large UPF 50+ canopy, which provides real shade and the ability to peek at. Both seats can be reclined to different positions by pressing an arrow. One seat can be made to lie flat so that baby can rest comfortably in the carrycot attached above it.

Other great features of this model include the padded handlebar that comes with a cup holder and pouch and the easy-to-use brake system, and the reversible seat liner with naturally anti-bacterial bamboo on one side and soft jersey on the other. The fact that it can be folded in one hand is also an amazing feature, especially when you have to watch two little ones.

Side-by-side models are generally more expensive than tandem buggies, but they offer the most flexibility because they are designed to fit in narrow doors and aisles. They can be difficult to navigate up kerbs and are heavy to push, however, they come with a front-loaded load that helps to balance the weight.

Flexibility

A double tandem pushchair is an excellent addition to any family, regardless of whether you have twins or a toddler and a newborn. This can keep your children entertained by preventing them from arguing or waking each other up. This type of buggy is ideal if you're planning to use it on public transport, as it can be easier to fit it in the space available.

Some models are extremely flexible, allowing you to convert back to single mode once your child is ready to use strollers. This allows you to not have to buy a new stroller. The UPPAbaby Vista V2 Double, for example can accommodate two infant car seats as well as a riding board that is in the back which makes it suitable for three kids. It can also be used with a stroller seat and a suitcase that can roll for the parents, allowing you to travel light and still taking everything your family needs.

The Joovy Caboose Ultralight Graphite double stroller has a distinct design than the other strollers, but has many of the same features we've outlined as our top selections. It's easy to fold and fits through the majority of doors. The basket under the carriage is also a bit taller which makes it easier to load groceries. Its rear seat is also covered to keep your youngster warm in winter.

A tandem is more narrow than a side-by-side, making it difficult to navigate narrow aisles in shops or on busy footpaths. It can be easier to maneuver on rocky terrain than a standard double pushchair. Some of these prams may be difficult to steer, especially when your child is heavier.

A double pushchair that is inline, on the other hand, is a better option for families with multiple children. It can be used as a twin pram when your children are young however, it can be transformed into a tandem when they get older. Some of these models, like the iCandy Peach 3+, can accept two i-Size car seats, giving you the ultimate flexibility and value for money.

Storage

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

Certain models can be converted from single pushchair to tandem like the Joolz Geo and the Uppababy Vista V2. This is an affordable option if you are planning to have a baby in the near future. It also increases the life span of your buggy. However, it can be difficult to convert back to a single when your older child outgrows it.
