Which Double Tandem Pushchair is Best For Your Family?

There are a variety of products that can make the lives of parents of twins or two children simpler. 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 line. They are available in line or side-by-side convertible models.

Stability

A double tandem pushchair is ideal for families with twins or children with similar ages. It makes the journey of two children more comfortable and less stressful. However, there are so many different designs and configurations available it can be hard to decide which one is best double stroller for your family. Some are better for jogging than others, or fit a third seat when you add a buggy board. Which ones are the most stable, though?

The CYBEX Gazelle is a fantastic option for transporting children of the same age. However, they can be tricky to maneuver around narrow entrances and shopping aisles. In this case you may be better off with models that are stadium-style like the Bugaboo Donkey, or Mountain Buggy Duet. These models allow your children to face you or the other depending on their configuration.

Tandem models, which seat one behind the other can be more manageable, however they are they aren't as stable as single strollers or child car seats. They aren't easy to push up curbs, and they could have less storage space than a side-by-side pushchair.

It is recommended to test the double with both seats in place since that's how you'll use it the most. It is important to test how easy it is to navigate and steer, especially in tight corners or with the swivel front wheels. It is a good idea to test the brakes too as they can be difficult to operate if both child seats are attached.

If you're looking to purchase a premium double stroller that does it all you need, then look no further than the Phil and Teds Sport Double. This stylish compact pushchair can be changed from a single model to tandem in a couple of simple steps. The seat and the carrycot both recline and can be used with the parent facing or facing each other, and the air-filled tyres and all terrain double stroller-wheel suspension make it ideal to tackle a variety of terrains. It also comes with an underseat storage basket, but access to it is blocked when the second seat is placed.

Comfort

There is a double stroller for every family, whether you have twins, a toddler or a newborn. Generally, they can transport two children side-by-side but some can transform into single pushchairs (although this usually involves removing one seat). They tend to be wider than a single pushchair, however, they are generally able to provide ultra flexibility and good value for money.

In our recent double buggy side by side stroller reviews, we asked our testers to give their opinions on a variety of things such as the comfort of riding, handling and how well the stroller folded. They also noted how easy it was to get the car seat in and out, and whether it could be used with a baby carrier.

The Stroller & Co City Tour 2 lightweight double buggy is an excellent example of a comfortable, flexible and light dual stroller. The reviewers who reviewed it praised its large UPF 50+ canopy, which offers real shade and the option of peekaboo. Both seats can be reclined into multiple positions by pressing a button. One seat can even be set to lie flat, so baby can rest comfortably in the carrycot that is attached to it.

Other great features of this pushchair include the padded handlebar with cup holder and pouch and the easy-to-use brake system, and the reversible seat liner that is naturally antibacterial bamboo on one side and soft jersey on the other. The fact that it can be folded in just one hand is 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 can provide ultimate flexibility since they are made to fit into narrow aisles and doors. They can be difficult to navigate up kerbs and can be heavy to push but they have an inclined front load that helps balance the overall weight.

Flexibility

A double tandem pushchair can be an excellent addition to any family, whether you have twins or a baby. This can keep your children entertained by keeping them from fighting or waking each other up. This type of buggy is ideal when you plan to use it on public transport because it is easier to fit into the space available.

Some models provide an extreme degree of flexibility, including the ability to switch back to Single double Stroller mode when your baby is ready to use a stroller without needing to purchase a completely new one. The UPPAbaby Vista Double, for instance, can take two infant car seats as well as a riding board at the back, making it ideal for three kids. It can be used in conjunction with a stroller and a rolling case for parents. This lets you travel light, while still having everything your family needs.

The Joovy Caboose Ultralight Graphite double stroller is a different design than its counterparts, but it offers many of the same features as our top selections. We like how it can be folded with hands and easily through doors, and that the basket underneath is higher to make it easier to put shopping in. The rear seat is also covered, which means your child will be kept warm in the winter.

A side-by-side pram is wider than a tandem, which makes it more difficult to navigate footpaths or narrow shop aisles. It can be more maneuverable on rocky terrain than a standard double pushchair. Some of these pushchairs can be difficult to steer, particularly when your child is heavier.

An inline cheap double stroller pushchair, on the other hand is a better choice for families with multiple children. It can be used as a twin pram for children who are young however, it can be converted into a tandem once they get older. Some models, like the iCandy Peach 3+, can be used with two i-Size vehicle seats, giving you maximum flexibility and the best value for money.

Stores

The biggest disadvantage of a double buggy could be that it takes up more space on public transport, and is harder to maneuver through narrow doorways or lifts. They can also be more expensive, especially side-byside models that have a second seat in front.

Some models, such as the Joolz Geo or the Uppababy Vista V2, can be converted to tandem pushchairs. This can be a good option when you're planning to have another child at some point and can extend the life of your buggy. However, it can be difficult to convert to a single buggy when your older child outgrows it.
