The 10 Most Terrifying Things About Double Tandem Pushchair

Which Double Tandem Pushchair is Best For Your Family?

If you’re planning for twins or a new child, there are a variety of products to make your life with children on the move easier. One of these is the double tandem pushchair.

From Phil and Teds to Baby Jogger, most brands offer a double stroller in their range of products. They are available as side-by-side or convertible models that are inline.

Stability

If you have twins, or children who are close in age, a double tandem pushchair makes travelling with two of them much easier and more comfortable. There are so many styles and configurations that it is difficult to choose the right one for your family. Some are more suitable for running, while others are able to accommodate a third passenger by adding a buggyboard. Which ones are the most stable, but?

Side-by-side pushchairs (like the CYBEX Gazelle S) are ideal for transporting children who are the same age. They can be difficult to navigate through narrow doors or shopping aisles. In this situation you might prefer models that are stadium-style like the Bugaboo Donkey, or Mountain Buggy Duet. These models allow your children to face either you or eachother depending on their setup.

Tandem models that can 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 also be tough to navigate around curbs and could have less storage than a side-by-side pushchair.

In order to get a good feeling for the stability of a double, you need to test it out using both seats, as this is how you will use it the most frequently. Examine the ease with which it is to steer and navigate the vehicle, especially in tight turns or with the front wheels that can swivel. It is a good idea to test the brakes too as they can be difficult to operate when the child and adult seats are both attached.

If you’re looking for a high-quality double stroller that does it all, take a look at the Phil and Teds Sport Double. This sleek and compact double buggy pushchair converts from a single unit to an asymmetrical model in just two easy steps. The seat and the carrycot both recline and can be used either facing the parent or facing one another and the tyres with air-filled tires and all-wheel suspension make it perfect for tackling a range of terrains. The seat comes with a handy storage basket under the seat, but it is partially hidden by the second child’s seat.

Comfort

There’s a double stroller for every family, whether you have twins, a toddler or a newborn. They can be used to transport two children together, however many can be converted into a single pushchair (though this will usually require removing one seat). They tend to be larger than a single stroller however, they are a the best value and flexibility.

In our latest double review of pushchairs, we asked testers to rate each model on a range of factors, including ride comfort, ease of handling and how well it folded. They also assessed the ease of getting in and out of the car seat, as well as whether it could be used along with a baby carrier.

The Stroller & Co City Tour 2 Double is a fantastic example of a comfortable, flexible and light dual stroller. Our reviewers were impressed by the large UPF 50+ canopy which provides real shade and includes an open window that can be seen from the outside, and the seats can recline to various positions at the touch of the button. One seat can be made to lie flat so that the baby can sleep in the carrycot above it.

Other great features of this model include the padded handlebar, cup pouch and holder, the easy-to-use braking system, and the reversible seat 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 advantage for parents with two small children to watch.

Side-by-side models are generally more expensive than tandem buggies, however they offer the most flexibility since they are made to fit into narrow doors and aisles. They can be a burden to push and are difficult to manoeuvre up kerbs, but most do have a front-loaded loader that helps to balance the overall load.

Flexibility

If you’re looking to keep your twins close or have a baby and toddler, a double stroller with bassinet tandem pushchair can be a valuable addition to your family. It will assist you in avoiding the irritation of children waking one another up or fighting on the move, and keep the two of them happy. This kind of buggy is ideal for those who plan to use it on public transportation because it will be more easily incorporated into the space available.

Certain models are extremely flexible that allow you to switch back to single mode once your child is ready to use a stroller. This allows you to avoid buying a new stroller. The UPPAbaby Vista V2 Double, for example can accommodate two infant car seats and a riding board at the back, making it ideal for three kids. It can be used with a stroller as well as a rolling case for parents. This lets you travel light, while still having everything your family needs.

The Joovy Caboose Ultralight Graphite is a different style of double stroller compared to the other models, yet it comes with the same features you’ll find in our top choices. It’s easy to fold and can be inserted into most doorways. The basket under the carriage is also higher which makes it easier to load groceries. The rear seat is also covered, which means your child will be warm in winter.

A side-by-side pram is wider than a tandem, which makes it harder to navigate crowded shopping aisles or narrow footpaths. However, it can be easier to manoeuvre on rocky terrain than a standard dual pushchair. Some of these pushchairs can be difficult to steer, especially when your child is heavier.

A double pushchair that is inline, however is a better choice for the majority of families. It can be used as twin stroller prams for children who are young, but it can also be transformed into a tandem when they grow older. Certain models, such as the iCandy Peach 3+ can accept two iSize car seats. This gives you maximum flexibility and value.

Storage

The biggest downside to double buggy is that it could take up more space on public transport and can be difficult to steer through narrow doorways and lifts. They also cost more and are more expensive for side-by-side models, especially those with a second passenger on the front.

Some models, like the Joolz Geo or the Uppababy Vista V2, can be converted into tandem pushchairs. This is an affordable option if you are planning to have a baby in the future. It also increases the life span of your buggy. It may be difficult to convert it back into a single to double pushchair seat when your older child grows out of it.
