Buying a Tandem Double Buggy
A tandem double buggy can be a great option when you have twins or children who are close in age. They're narrower than side-by-side buggies and ideal for navigating tight spaces, such as entrances, on public transportation and rocky terrain.
Many also convert into travel systems to use two carrycots or car seats. However, they can be heavier and longer than single pushchairs, and may not be as stable when in bumping up the kerbs.

There are a variety of options to add a second seat or changing a single stroller into a double. The UPPAbaby V2 is spacious, gorgeous stroller. It is easily transformed from a single stroller to a dual by adding an Rumble seat. It is more expensive and less maneuverable because the second seat is placed on top of the first seat. Nuna Demi Grow is a similar model however, it doesn't have storage underneath the seat when it is used as a double lightweight twin stroller.
Other options include twin buggy buggies with all terrain double buggy-terrain wheels and joggers with fixed wheels that can be used to carry two children. They are more expensive but they are made to last longer on rough terrain and have more expensive resales.
Independent seat recline
If you're looking for a double stroller that can accommodate children of different age groups, you'll need one with independent seat recliner for both seats. This allows your older child to relax while the baby is in the bassinet and the reverse is true.
Take into consideration the size of your twin pushchair and consider how easy it is for you to maneuver through doors and on public transport. If you have very narrow doorways then it might be worth considering a side-by-side pushchair like the Mountain Buggy Duet which has the advantage of having a footprint similar to a single buggy but can still use two seats and car seat adaptors.
Tandem buggies generally are slightly longer than side-by-side models and therefore aren't easily maneuverable up and down kerbs, however, 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-double buggies but they're well worth it if you intend to keep it for a number of years. They will also retain an impressive amount of value if you decide to sell it when your kids have outgrown it.
This feature allows you to put your child in an ideal position for naps and observation. This is crucial if your child is in the back seat and wishes to rest while the older child prefers to sit up to observe the surroundings.
Certain brands have a distinctive design that allows the back seat of their vehicles to recline into a position that is almost flat, perfect for newborns. For instance the iCandy Orange has raised stadium-style seating that can recline both the toddler seat included as well as the optional RumbleSeat into multiple positions to give your kids a the option of deciding where to sit, as well as providing an excellent UPF 50+ canopy with windows that peek out.
More spacious than Twin Umbrella Stroller buggies
It's not necessary to have twins to benefit from a wider double buggy - they're ideal for siblings of different age groups. They allow you to get around without worrying about your children touching each other. They're typically a bit larger with one seat positioned behind the other and usually with a fully-flat recline option for newborns (or an upright position for toddlers).
Mountain Buggy Duet is a popular choice. It is the tiniest design side-by-side on the market and a footprint similar to one twin stroller with car seats. It features an adjustable handle that makes it easier for parents to push, and a handbrake, which is helpful on steep hills. It can be used from birth and is compatible with a variety of car seats and carrycots. This means it makes an excellent travel system.
The iCandy Wave is another option. It folds in duo or mono mode with just a single click. The clever frame expands in width to accommodate an additional chair and can be used to accommodate up to two car seats or carrycots. This makes it an ideal choice for older siblings that would like to sit together. It's slightly longer than some other models, but it's light to steer and has soft suspension to tackle the kerbs.
There are many 3-wheeler tandems with inline tires that provide stability and fast steering. Check out Phil and Teds inline models, or iCandy Peach and Pear buggies. These can often be folded into a single buggy if you have limited space at home or need to carry it from the car to the bus.
Be aware that a two-wheeled buggy is heavier and heavier than one compact buggy. Make sure you know what you want prior to making a buy. You'll have to get it on and off subways, trains and buses regularly so it needs to be simple to use and manage. You might need to manage the car seat in and out when taking your child to school or to nursery.
From birth, you are an ideal candidate
You'll need a stroller for the whole family, regardless of whether you're expecting twins or if you have a child after you've had your first. Double buggies tend to be larger, heavier and more expensive than single strollers. However, they can also be easier to maneuver through narrower doors or around obstacles such as curbs. Many double buggies are compatible with piggyback boards (available from the manufacturer or as an add-on). This lets you transport three children simultaneously.
Tandem pushchairs place one child in front the other. They're a good option if your children are of similar ages and get along well. But they're not foolproof: Siblings in side-by-side seats could kick or punch one another, and children with different heights may argue over who sits higher. This problem can be solved by a tandem high-low model that raises the seat at the back. Your child's older one will not be seated on the lower part of the car, and won't be able to get an opportunity to see.
The iCandy Wave is a great alternative for parents who want an easy-to-use double buggy that converts to fit a newborn into a carrycot and an older child in the main seat. It has a clever frame which can be expanded in size when you add the second child seat. It can also fold flat for storage that is compact. The seats are cushioned and comfortable, the straps easy to fasten and the buckles are among the best we've seen on any of our tests. The seats can be reclined independently, and the canopies are large and generous with UPF 50+ protection and windows that can be seen from a distance.
The only downside of the iCandy is that it's on the expensive side but a high-quality tandem will last a long time and retain its resale value, which means you'll probably get back some of the cost over the long term. It doesn't have the same variety of seating configurations as some of our other top picks however the iCandy is a good option for families who don't wish to spend a fortune.
