Buying a Tandem stokke double stroller Buggy

If you have twins or children close in age, a tandem double buggy is a fantastic option. They are narrower than side by side buggies and are ideal for small spaces such as doors, public transport, and rough terrain.

Some convert into travel systems to include two carrycots or car seats. They can be heavier, longer and less stable than a single pushchair.

Convertible

There are many options for adding a second seating or making a single stroller a double. The Vista V2 from UPPAbaby is a spacious, gorgeous stroller that easily converts from a single model to double prams with large Storage basket by adding the rumble seat (available separately). It is more expensive and less maneuverable due to the fact that the second seat is positioned behind the first seat. Nuna Demi Grow offers a similar option however, it doesn't have storage under the seat when it's used as a double stroller.

Other options include twin buggies with all-terrain wheels as well as joggers that have fixed wheels that can accommodate two children. These are more expensive, however, they are designed for long-distance trips over rough terrain and have more expensive resales.

Reclining the seat independently

If you are looking for a double stroller that can accommodate children of various ages, you will need one with an independent recliner for both seats. This will allow your older child to relax in the back while the baby is in the bassinet and vice versa.

You'll also have to think about the size of the stroller as it will impact how easy it is to traverse doors and public transportation. If you have very narrow doors, it may be a good idea to consider a side-byside pushchair, such as the Mountain Buggy Duet which has the benefit of having a footprint similar to a single buggy, however it can accommodate two 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 but they can accommodate a bigger range of seat/carrycot/car seat combinations and are a great option for twins or siblings of various ages. They are also more expensive than single-to-double buggies however they're worth the cost if you plan to keep it for a few years. They'll also keep some value if you decide to sell it when your children are old enough to use it.

This feature allows you to put your child in the most comfortable position for naps or to observe. This is crucial when your child is in the back seat and wishes to rest while the child in the front prefers to sit and observe the surroundings.

Certain brands come with an exclusive seat design that allows the back seat to completely recline to an almost flat position that is perfect for newborns. The iCandy Orange, for example has a stadium-style seating option that can be reclined in multiple positions. It also comes with UPF 50+ canopy and windows that peek out.

More spacious than twin buggies

They are perfect for siblings with different age groups, and you can move about without having to worry about your children touching. They're usually a bit longer too with one seat positioned behind the other and providing a flat recline for infants (or a more upright position for toddlers).

A popular choice is the Mountain Buggy Duet, which features the slimmest side-by-side design on the market and has an identical footprint to a single buggy. It comes with an adjustable handle that makes it easier for parents to push, and a handbrake that is useful on steep hills. It can be used from birth and is compatible with a range of car seats and carrycots, which means it is a great travel system.

The iCandy Wave is another option. It folds in mono or duo mode with just one click. The frame's clever design can be expanded to accommodate the second chair and can be used up to two car seats or carrycots. This makes it an ideal choice for older siblings that would like to sit together. It's a little larger than other models, but it isn't heavy and has a soft suspension for the kerbs.

There are many 3-wheeler tandems that have inline wheels that provide stability and fast steering. Take a look at Phil and Teds inline models or iCandy Peach and Pear buggies. They are often folded down to size a single buggy which is useful for those who struggle with storage at home or have to lug it in and out of your car when you travel on public transport.

Be aware that a double buggy side by side wide buggy is heavier and more bulkier than a single compact buggy. Be sure you know what you want prior to making a buy. It is likely to be utilized on buses, trains and subways often, so it should be easy to operate and use. You might also have to juggle it onto and off the car seat when taking your children to school or nursery so you'll need to know it is able to be maneuvered within small double stroller spaces.

The best time to start is when you are born.

You'll need a stroller for your entire family whether you're expecting twins, or you have another child after you've had your first. Double buggies tend to be a bit heavier, bulkier and more expensive than single strollers, however they can also be easier to manoeuvre in narrower entrances or around obstacles such as curbs. Many are also compatible with piggyback ride-along boards (either from the manufacturer or as an additional accessory purchase) which means you can carry three children at the same time.

Tandem pushchairs place one child in front of the other. They're a great option if your children are close in age and get along well. They're not 100% secure. Siblings seated side-by-side may punch or kick one another and children with different heights could argue over who sits taller. A tandem high-low model is able to solve this issue by elevating the seat at the rear, which prevents your older child from sitting on the bottom and not having the best lightweight double stroller view.

The iCandy Wave is a good choice for parents looking for an adjustable double buggy that can be converted into a carrycot that can fit both the newborn and the older child. It features a smart frame that expands in width when you add the second seat and folds down to flattish storage. The padded seats, straps and buckles are all of the best quality we have seen in our tests. The canopies are large in size and UPF 50+ protection, and a windows that peek out. Both seats are reclined independently.

The only drawback to the iCandy is that it's a little expensive but a high-quality tandem will last for a long time and will retain its resale value, so you'll likely recoup some of the cost in the end. The iCandy doesn't come with the same seating options as our other top picks. However, it's a good option for families that don't want spend a lot of cash.
