Which Double Tandem Pushchair is Best For Your Family?

If you're preparing for twins or a new child there are plenty of products to make life with kids on the move easier. One of them is the double tandem pushchair.

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

Stability

Whether 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. However, there are so many styles and configurations available it is difficult to know which one is best for your family. Some are better for running than others, or can fit a third seat when you add buggy boards. Which ones are most stable?

The CYBEX Gazelle is a fantastic option for children who are the same age. They aren't easy to maneuver through narrow doorways or shopping aisles. In this case, you might be best off with a stadium-style model like the Bugaboo Donkey or Mountain Buggy Duet that allow children to face either one or the other based on the arrangement.

Tandem models that seat one behind the other are easier to manage than side-byside pushchairs, however they're 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.

You should test the double with both seats in place, because that's the way you'll use 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. Also, you should check the brakes, as they might be difficult to use if the child and infant seats are connected.

If you're looking for a top-quality double stroller that does it all look no further than the Phil and Teds Sport Double. This stylish and compact pushchair converts from a single unit to a tandem in just few steps. The seat and carrycot can be used either parent-facing or facing each other. Its air-filled tires as well as all-wheel suspension let it take on a variety of terrains. It has a handy underseat storage basket, but access to it is blocked when the second seat is placed.

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 children in tandem, but some can be converted to one pushchair (though this typically requires the removal of one seat). Most are wider than a single stroller, but they provide an excellent value and versatility.

In our latest double review of pushchairs, we asked testers to score each model based on a variety of aspects, including comfort, ease of use and how it folded. They also rated the ease with which they could take the car seat in and out, and whether it could be used with a baby car.

The Stroller & Co City Tour 2 Double stroller is a fantastic example of an easy-going, comfortable and flexible double pram and pushchair stroller. Our reviewers praised its generous UPF 50+ canopy, which provides real shade with the ability to peek at. Both seats can recline into multiple positions by pressing an arrow. One seat can be set to lay flat so a newborn can sleep on the carrycot over it.

Other excellent features on this model include the padded handlebar that comes with a 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. Our test subjects also appreciated the fact that it is able to fold it in one hand and that's a major plus for parents with two small children to watch.

Side-by-side models tend to be more expensive than tandem buggies, but they can provide ultimate flexibility as they are usually designed to fit in narrow aisles and doors. They can be difficult to maneuver up kerbs and heavy to push, however, they come with an inclined front load that helps to balance the weight.

Flexibility

If you're looking to keep your twins close or have a toddler and newborn, a double tandem pushchair (linked site) can be a great addition to your family. It can reduce the stress of children waking each other up or fighting out and about, thereby keeping the two of them happy. This type of buggy may also be a great option for those who plan to use it on public transportation, as it is easier to fit into the space available.

Certain models offer ultra flexibility, converting to single mode once your child is ready for strollers without having to purchase a completely new one. The UPPAbaby Vista double running buggy, for example can accommodate two infant car seats as well as a riding board at the back, making it ideal for three kids. It can also be utilized with a stroller seat and a suitcase that can roll for parents and children, allowing you to travel light but still taking everything your family requires.

The Joovy Caboose Ultralight Graphite double stroller has a distinct design than its counterparts, but it offers many of the same features as our top picks. We like how it folds with the use of a hand and can easily slide through doorways, and the basket under the carriage is taller, making it easier to drop on shopping. The rear seat is covered to keep your child warm during winter.

A side-byside pram is bigger than a tandem, making it more difficult to navigate shopping aisles or narrow footpaths. However, it's more maneuverable on rough terrain than a standard pushchair. Some of these prams can be difficult to steer, especially when your child is larger.

An inline double buggy from birth pushchair, however, is a better option for most families. It can be used as twin prams when your children are young, but it can also be converted into a tandem as they grow older. Some models, like the iCandy Peach 3+ can accommodate two iSize car seats. This gives you the maximum flexibility and value.

Storage

The biggest downside to a double buggy is that they take up more space on public transport, and it can be more difficult to navigate through narrow doors and lifts. They also tend to be more expensive, especially side-byside models with a second seat in the front.

Some models, such as the Joolz Geo or the Uppababy Vista V2 are able to be converted to tandem pushchairs. This is an affordable option if you're planning to have a second child in the future. It also increases the lifespan of your buggy. However, it can be difficult to convert it back to a single once your older child has outgrown it.

Stadium Duo is a lightweight, compact dual stroller that's ideal for urban adventures.
