20 Things That Only The Most Devoted Tandem Double Buggy Fans Should Know

Buying a Tandem Double Buggy

A tandem double to single buggy buggy can be a great option if you have twins, or children who are very close in age. They're a bit smaller than side-byside buggies and are ideal for maneuvering narrow spaces like entrances, on public transportation and on rough terrain.

Some can be converted to travel systems that use two carrycots or child car seats. However, they are heavier and longer than single pushchairs and may not be as stable when bumping up the kerbs.

Convertible

It can easily be changed from a single to a double by adding the seating area with a rumble. It is more expensive and less maneuverable because the second seat is located in front of the first seat. Nuna Demi Grow is a similar model however, it doesn't have storage underneath the seat when it's used as a double stroller.

Other alternatives include all-terrain twin buggy buggies and fixed-wheel joggers that can accommodate two children. These are more expensive, but they are designed for long trips on rough terrain, and come with higher resale prices.

It features an adjustable handle that makes it easier for parents to push, and a handbrake, which can be useful on hills that are steep. It is suitable for use from birth, and it can be combined with a wide range of car seats and carrycots.

Tandem pushchairs seat one child in front of the other, so they're often a better choice when you have two children who are close enough in age to get along well. They're not foolproof. Siblings sitting side-by-side can punch or kick each other and children of different heights can fight over who sits taller. This issue can be resolved by a tandem high-low model that elevates the seat in the back. Your child's older will not be sitting at the bottom of the car and won't be able to get a look out.
