Which Double Tandem Pushchair is Best For Your Family?

If you're preparing for twins or another child there are plenty of products available to make life with children moving around easier. One of these is the double tandem pushchair.

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

Stability

If you have twins, or children who are close in age, a double tandem pushchair makes travelling with two of them much more enjoyable and comfortable. There are so many different styles and configurations available it can be difficult to know which one is suitable for your family. Some are better suited to running, while others can accommodate a third person by adding buggyboards. Which ones are the most stable?

Side-by-side pushchairs (like the CYBEX Gazelle S) are perfect for transporting children who are the same age. However, they can be tricky to maneuver through narrow doors and aisles for shopping. In this situation you may be better off with a stadium-style model like the Bugaboo Donkey or Mountain Buggy Duet, which allow children to face either one or the other based on the configuration.

Tandem models that can seat one behind the other are easier to manage than side-byside pushchairs, however they are still not as stable as single strollers or car seats. They can be a challenge to push up curbs and they might have less storage space than a side by side pushchair.

You should test the double running stroller with both seats in place because that's the way you'll be using it the most. It is important to test how easy it is to navigate and steer, especially in tight corners or when using the front wheels that swivel. You should also check the brakes, as they can be difficult to operate when both child seats are attached.

If you're looking for a top-quality double stroller that does everything, look no further than the Phil and Teds Sport Double. This sleek and compact pushchair converts from a single unit to tandem in two easy steps. The seat and carrycot can be used with the parent facing or facing each other. Its air-filled tires and all-wheel suspension enable it to conquer different terrains. The seat comes with an attractive storage basket underneath the seat, but this is partially hidden by the second child's seat.

Comfort

Whether you have twins or a newborn and toddler, there is a double pushchair that will accommodate your family. Generally, they can transport both children side by side but some can convert into single pushchairs (although this is usually involving taking off one seat). They tend to be larger than a single stroller, however, they are a an excellent value and flexibility.

In our latest double stroller reviews, asked our testers to give their opinions on a variety of things such as the comfort of riding, handling and how well the pushchair folded. They also evaluated the ease of it to take the car seat into and out and whether it could be used in conjunction with a baby carrier.

The Stroller & Co City Tour 2 Double is a great example of a flexible, comfortable and lightweight dual stroller. Our reviewers praised the generous UPF 50+ canopy which offers real shade and comes with a peekaboo window, while the seats can recline to various positions with just the press of the button. One seat can even be made to lie flat so that baby can rest comfortably in the carrycot which is attached to it.

The reversible seat lining with bamboo, which is naturally antibacterial on one side, and soft Jersey on the other is an fantastic feature. Our testers also loved the fact that you can fold it in one hand and that's a major plus when you have two small children to keep an eye on.

They're more expensive, but can offer greater flexibility due to their ability to fit through narrow doors and aisles. They can be difficult to push and difficult to move up kerbs but most do have a front-loaded loader which helps balance the overall load.

Flexibility

If you're looking for a way to keep your twins close or have a toddler and newborn, a double tandem pushchair can be a great addition to your family. It can reduce the stress of children who wake one another up or fighting on the move, and keep them both happy. This type of buggy is also great for those who plan to use it on public transportation because it is easier to fit it in the space available.

Some models can offer the ultimate flexibility, and can be converted to single mode once your baby is ready to use strollers without having to buy an entirely new one. The UPPAbaby V2 double pushchair with car seat is able to fit two infant car seats at the back as well as a ridingboard which makes it ideal for three kids. It can even be used with a stroller seat and a suitcase that can roll for parents and children, allowing you to travel light and still taking everything your family requires.

The Joovy Caboose Ultralight Graphite is a different style of double stroller from the rest, yet it comes with the same features you'll find in our top choices. We love that it can be folded with a hand and fits easily through doors, and also that the undercarriage basket is taller to make it easier to drop shopping into. The rear seat is covered to keep your youngster warm in winter.

A tandem is more narrow than a side-byside, making it difficult to navigate narrow aisles in shops or busy footpaths. It is more maneuverable on rocky terrain compared to a standard double pushchair. Some of these prams can be difficult to steer, particularly when your child is larger.

An inline double pushchair, however is a better choice for the majority of families. It can be used as twin pushchairs prams for children who are young but it could also be transformed into a tandem when they grow older. Some models, like the iCandy Peach 3+ can accept two iSize car seats. This allows you to have the most flexibility and value.

It can be difficult to convert it back to a single seat when your older child grows out of it.
