Unexpected Business Strategies Helped Tandem Double Buggy Succeed

Buying a Tandem Double Buggy

A tandem double buggy could be a fantastic option when you have twins or children who are very close in age. They are smaller than side by side buggies and are perfect for narrow spaces like doors, public transport and rough terrain.

Many also convert into travel systems to use two carrycots or car seats. However, they are heavier and longer than single pushchairs and may not be as stable when bumping up kerbs.

Convertible

If you're looking for convertible stroller that can be converted from a single to a double or to add a second seat to an existing one, there's several options available. The UPPAbaby V2 is large, beautiful stroller. It can be easily changed from a single to a double by adding a seating area with a rumble. It is more expensive and less maneuverable due to the fact that the second seat is located behind the first seat. Nuna Demi Grow offers a similar option, but it lacks storage underneath the seat when it is used as a double stroller.

Other alternatives include all-terrain twin buggies as well as fixed-wheel joggers that can hold two children. They tend to be more expensive, however they're designed for long trips over rough terrain and can have more resale value.

Reclining the seat independently

If you require a double buggy that is able to transport children of various age groups, then you'll want one that has independent seat recline for both seats. This allows your child of a higher age to rest while the baby is in the bassinet, and vice versa.

Think about the size of your pushchair and consider the ease of you to navigate through doors and on public transportation. If your doorways are very narrow, you might be considering a side-by-side pushchair, such as the Mountain Buggy Duet. It has a footprint similar to a single stroller however it can accommodate two seats and car seat adaptors.

Tandem buggies are usually a little longer than side-by-side models and therefore aren't difficult to maneuver around kerbs but they can accommodate a bigger range of seat/carrycot/car seat combinations making them a good option for twins or siblings of various ages. They are also more expensive than single-to-Shop Double Pushchairs for Twins and Siblings buggies but are a worthwhile investment if you plan to keep it for a long time and will retain a decent amount of resale value in the event that you decide to sell it off after your children have grown out of it.

This feature will allow you to put your child in the most comfortable position for naps or observation. This is essential when your child is in the back seat and wants to nap while the older child prefers to sit and observe the surrounding.

A few brands have a unique design for their seats that allows the back seat to fully recline into an almost flat position that is perfect for newborns. The iCandy Orange, for example is a stadium-style seat that can be reclined in multiple positions. It also offers UPF 50+ sun protection and peekaboo windows.

Larger than twin buggies

It's not necessary to have twins to benefit from a wider Bambisol Double Side To Side Twin Pushchair - Compact Black Grey buggy - they're ideal for siblings of various ages and allow you to get around without worrying about your children touching each other. They're typically a little longer too with one seat placed behind the other and providing a flat recline for babies (or an upright position for toddlers).

A popular option is the Mountain Buggy Duet, which is the tiniest side-by-side model available and has a footprint similar to a single buggy. It also features an adjustable handle, making it easier for parents of various heights to push and a handbrake, which is helpful when climbing difficult terrains. It is suitable to use from birth and can be paired with a variety of car seats and carrycots.

Another alternative is the iCandy Wave, which has the convenience of a single click to fold and can be utilized in a duo or mono mode. Its innovative frame expands widthways to allow for a second seat and can be used with up to two carrycots or car seats making it a great option for older siblings that wish to sit together and enjoy the view. It's a little longer than other models but still feels light to steer and has soft suspension to tackle the kerbs.

There are a lot of 3-wheeler inline tandems that are available - check out Phil and Teds' inline models or iCandy's Peach and Pear buggies, for instance - which provide stability and swift steering. These can often be folded into a single buggy if you are limited in space at home, or need to transport it from the car to the bus station.

It's worth bearing in mind that a wide double buggy will feel bulkier and heavier than a compact single buggy, so make sure it's what you need before you purchase. You'll need to take it off and on trains, buses and subways regularly so it needs to be easy to use and manage. You may also need to juggle it on and off the car seat while taking your children to school or nursery so you'll need to know it's easy to maneuver in tight spaces.

The best time to start is when you are born.

There will be a need for a pushchair for your entire family whether you're expecting twins, or you have another child after having your first. Double buggies are typically larger, heavier and more expensive than single strollers, however they are also more maneuverable in narrower entrances or around obstacles such as curbs. Many are also compatible with piggyback ride-along boards (either from the manufacturer or through an additional accessory purchase) which means you can carry three children at a time.

Tandem pushchairs seat one child in front of the other, and they're generally a better option if you have two kids that are close enough in age to be able to live well together. They're not completely safe. Siblings seated side-by-side may kick or punch each other and children of different heights can fight over who sits higher. A tandem high-low model could solve this problem by elevating the seat to the rear, preventing your older child from being sat on the bottom and not getting the best view.

The iCandy Wave is a good alternative for parents looking for a convertible double buggy that includes a carrycot that can fit both infants and an older child. It features a clever frame that expands in width when you add the second seat. It folds to flattish storage. The padded seats are comfortable, the straps are easy to secure and the buckles are among the most comfortable we've seen on any of our tests. Both seats can recline independently and the canopies are spacious and large with UPF 50+ protection as well as windows that can be seen from a distance.

The only downside to the iCandy tandem is that it is a bit costly. But a high-quality tandem will last for a long time and will have an attractive resale value which means that in the end you'll likely recover some of the cost. It also doesn't offer the same variety of seating configurations as some of our other top choices however, the iCandy is a great choice for families who don't wish to spend a lot.
