Which Double Tandem Pushchair is Best For Your Family?
There are many items that can make the life of parents of twins or two children easier. One of these is the double tandem pushchair.
Most brands have double buggy models as part of their line, ranging from Phil and Teds to Baby Jogger. They are available in line or side-by-side convertible models.
Stability
Whether you have twins or children who are close in age, the double tandem pushchair makes travelling with two of them much more enjoyable and comfortable. There are so many designs and configurations to choose from that it can be a challenge to choose the right one for your family. Some are more suitable for running, while others are able to accommodate a third person when you add a buggyboard. Which ones are the most stable however?
Side-by-side pushchairs (like the CYBEX Gazelle S) are perfect for transporting children of the same age. They can be difficult to maneuver through narrow doorways or shopping aisles. In this case, you may prefer a stadium model like the Bugaboo Donkey, or Mountain Buggy Duet. These models let your children face either you or eachother according to their configuration.
Tandem models that seat one behind the other are easier to manage than side-byside pushchairs, however they are still not as stable as single strollers and car seats. They can be difficult to navigate around curbs and could have less storage than a side-by-side pushchair.
To get a good impression of the stability of a double, it is important to try it out with both seats in use, as this is how you will use it most often. It is important to test the ease with which you can navigate and steer, especially in tight corners or with the front wheels that swivel. It is a good idea to test the brakes too because they may be difficult to operate when both child seats are in use.
If you’re looking for a high-quality double stroller that can do it all, take a look at the Phil and Teds Sport Double. This sleek and compact pushchair converts from a single model to a tandem in just few steps. The seat and carrycot both recline and can be used parent-facing or facing each other and the air-filled tyres and all-wheel suspension make it suitable for tackling a variety of terrains. The seat has a handy storage basket under the seat, but this is partially hidden by the second child’s seat.
Comfort
There’s a double stroller that is suitable for any family, regardless of whether you have twins or a toddler newborn. They can be used to transport two kids side-by-side, but many can be converted into a single pushchair (though this typically requires taking off one seat). They are typically wider than a single pushchair, but they do offer flexibility and value for price.
In our most recent double stroller reviews, we asked our testers to give their opinions on a variety of factors including the comfort of riding, handling and how well the pushchair folded. They also rated the ease of putting in and taking out the car seat, as well as whether it could be used along with a baby carrier.
The Stroller & Co City Tour 2 Double stroller is a great example for an easy-going, comfortable and flexible dual stroller. Our reviewers were impressed by the large UPF 50+ canopy, which offers real shade and comes with an open window that can be seen from the outside, and both seats recline into multiple positions with the push of the button. One seat can be made to lie flat, so babies can sleep peacefully in the carrycot attached above it.
The reversible seat lining made of bamboo, which naturally antibacterial on one side, and soft Jersey on the other side is an great feature. The ability to be folded in one hand is also an excellent feature, particularly when you have to watch two small children.
They are more expensive but can offer more flexibility as they can be able to pass through narrow doors and aisles. They aren’t easy to move up kerbs, and are heavy to push, but they do have an inclined front load that helps to balance the weight.
Flexibility
Whether you’re looking to keep your twins in close proximity or have a toddler and newborn, the double tandem pushchair can be a valuable addition to your family. It can help you avoid the annoyance of children who wake one another up or fighting on the move, and keep them both happy. This type of buggy is ideal for those who plan to use it on public transport, as it can be easier to fit into the space available.
Some models provide an extreme degree of flexibility, including the ability to switch to single mode once your youngest is ready for a stroller without needing to purchase a completely new one. The UPPAbaby Double can fit two infant car seats in the back and a riding board making it suitable for three kids. It can be used with the stroller and a roll-away case for parents. This lets you travel light while having everything you need for your family.
The Joovy Caboose Ultralight Graphite is an entirely different type of double stroller than the competition, but it comes with the same features that you’ll find in our top choices. We like how it folds in hands and easily through doors, and that the basket underneath is higher to make it easier to store your shopping into. The rear seat is covered, which means your child will be protected in winter.
A side-by-side pushchair is larger than a tandem, making it difficult to navigate walkways or narrow aisles in shops. It is also more maneuverable on rocky terrain than a standard double pushchair. Some of these prams may be difficult to steer, particularly when your child weighs more.
An inline double pushchair, on the other hand, is a better option for the majority of families. It can be used as twin 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 accommodate two iSize car seats. This allows you to have the most flexibility and value.
Storage
The main disadvantage of double buggy is that it could take up more space on public transport, and it can be more difficult to maneuver through narrow doors and lifts. They are also more expensive, particularly side-by-side models with a second seat up in front.
Certain models, like the Joolz Geo or the Uppababy Vista V2 can be converted into tandem pushchairs. This is a great option in the event that you’re planning to have another baby at some point and also extends the lifespan of your buggy. However, it’s difficult to convert back to a single once your older child outgrows it.
Stadium Duo is a lightweight, compact dual stroller that is ideal for urban adventures. It features a one-click, fold-in-one-hand and an the ability to lock storage automatically, and it’s compatible with 2 SnugEssentials or SnugRide i-Size infant car seats* for smooth transitions. The stadium-style seating lets both children to take in the view. It is possible to connect your infant car seats to the rear or front of the stroller with just one click. You can also bring all the essentials to enjoy your day in the large basket for shopping and tray for parents. The suspension and swivel wheels offer smooth rides and more maneuverability. The 5-point safety belts on both seats ensure the safety of your child.
