Which Double Tandem Pushchair is Best For Your Family?

When you're preparing for twins or another child there are plenty of products to make your life with children on the move more comfortable. One of these is the double tandem pushchair.

From Phil & Teds, to Baby Jogger, most brands offer a double stroller in their range of products. They are available as inline or side-by-side convertible models.

Stability

A double tandem pushchair is perfect for families with twins or children of similar age. It makes the journey of two children more comfortable and easier. There are numerous styles and configurations available that it can be difficult to choose the right one for your family. Some are better for running than others, or accommodate a third seat if you add a buggy board. Which ones are the most stable?

The CYBEX Gazelle is a fantastic option for children who are the same age. However they can be a challenge to maneuver around narrow doorways and aisles for shopping. In this situation you might prefer a stadium model, such as the Bugaboo Donkey, or Mountain Buggy Duet. These models allow your children to either face you or another depending on their setup.

Tandem models that seat one behind the other are easier to manage than side-by-side pushchairs, but they are still not as stable as single strollers or car seats. They can also be tough to navigate around from curbs, and they may not have as much storage than a side-by-side pushchair.

To get a good impression of the stability of doubles, you have to try it out with both seats on since this is the way you will be using it most often. Examine the ease with which it is for you to navigate and steer the vehicle, particularly in tight corners or with the front wheels that can swivel. Also, you should check the brakes, as they may be difficult to use if both child seats are connected.

If you're looking for a top-quality double stroller at a reasonable price that does it all look no further than the Phil & Teds Sport double running stroller. This stylish and compact stroller can be converted from a single to a tandem in just two easy steps. The carrycot and seat can be used with the parent facing or facing one another. Its air-filled tires as well as all-wheel suspension let it take on a variety of terrains. It also comes with an underseat storage basket but access to this is partially restricted when the second seat is in place.

Comfort

Whether you have twins or a newborn and toddler, there is a double pushchair that will fit your family. Typically, they can carry both children side by side but some can transform into single pushchairs (although this will often involve taking off one seat). They are typically wider than a single buggy, but they do offer flexibility and value for price.

In our recent double stroller reviews, sought feedback from testers on a variety of things, including the comfort of the ride, handling ease and how well the stroller folded. They also evaluated the ease of getting in and out of the car seat, and whether or not it could be used along with a baby carrier.

The Stroller & Co City Tour 2 double buggy for twins is an excellent example of a comfortable, flexible and lightweight dual stroller. Our reviewers praised the generous UPF 50+ canopy which provides real shade and includes a peekaboo window, while both seats recline into a variety of positions with the push of the button. One seat can be set to lie flat, meaning babies can sleep peacefully in the carrycot that is attached to it.

Other great features of this pushchair are the padded handlebar with 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 possibility of being folded in one hand is also an excellent feature, particularly when you have to watch two small children.

They're more expensive, but can offer greater flexibility because they can fit through narrow aisles and doors. They can be a burden to push and difficult to move up kerbs however, they do come with a front-loaded weight that helps to keep the load in balance.

Flexibility

A double tandem pushchair is a great addition to any family, whether you have twins or a toddler and an infant. It will assist you in avoiding the irritation of children who wake each other up or fighting out and about, thereby keeping them both happy. This type of buggy can also be great if you plan to use it on public transportation because it is more convenient to fit into the available space.

Some models can offer an extreme degree of flexibility, including the ability to switch back to single mode if your child is ready to grow double stroller for strollers, without having to purchase a completely new one. The UPPAbaby Double can accommodate two infant car seats at the back as well as a riding board making it suitable for three children. It can also be used with a stroller and a suitcase that can roll for the parents which allows you to travel light but still having everything your family needs.

The Joovy Caboose Ultralight Graphite is a different style of double stroller from the competition, but it has the same features you'll find in our top-rated picks. It's easy to fold and can fit through many doors. The basket under the carriage is also a bit taller, making it easier to load groceries. Its rear seat is also protected to keep your kid warm during winter.

A side-by-side pram is wider than a tandem, making it difficult to navigate footpaths or narrow shop aisles. It is easier to maneuver on rocky terrain than a standard double pushchair. Some of these pushchairs could be difficult to steer through tight turns, especially when your child is heavier in the front seat.

A double inline pushchair is the best option for most families. It can be used as twin stroller prams for children who are young, but it can also be converted into a tandem as they grow older. Some models, such as the iCandy Peach 3+, can accommodate two i-Size car seats, giving you the ultimate flexibility and the best compact double stroller value for money.

Stores

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

Some models can be converted from single pushchairs to tandem models such as the Joolz Geo and the Uppababy Vista V2. This can be a good option when 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 it back to a single once your older child has outgrown it.
