Which Double Tandem Pushchair is Best For Your Family?

When you're preparing for twins or a new child, there are a variety of products available to make your life with children moving around easier. The double tandem pushchair is one of them.

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

Stability

If you have twins or children who are close in age, the double strollers tandem pushchair makes travelling with two of them much easier and more comfortable. There are so many designs and configurations that it can be difficult to choose the right one for your family. Some are better suited for jogging, while others can accommodate a third child with buggyboards. Which ones are the most stable but?

The CYBEX Gazelle is an excellent option for children who are the same age. However, they can be tricky to maneuver around narrow entrances and shopping aisles. In this case you may prefer models that are stadium-style like the Bugaboo Donkey, or Mountain Buggy Duet. These models allow your children to either face you or another depending on their configuration.

Tandem models, which seat one behind the next, are more manageable but they aren't as stable as single double stroller strollers or child car seats. They can be a challenge to push up curbs, and they may have less storage space than a side by side pushchair double.

You should test the double with both seats in place, since that's how you'll be using it the most. Test the ease with which it is for you to maneuver and steer the vehicle, particularly in tight corners or using the front wheels that can swivel. It is recommended to test the brakes too, as they can be difficult to operate if both child seats are in use.

The Phil & Teds Sports Double is the ideal double stroller for those who are looking for a high-quality stroller that is affordable and able to perform all. This stylish compact pushchair can be transformed from a single to a tandem in a few easy steps. The carrycot and seat can be used as a parent-facing or facing one another. The air-filled tires and all-wheel suspension enable it to take on various terrains. It comes with a handy underseat storage basket but access to this is partially blocked when the second seat is in place.

Comfort

If you have twins, or a newborn and toddler, there is a double pushchair that will accommodate your family. They can be used to transport two kids side-by-side, but many can be converted into a single pushchair (though this will usually require taking off one seat). Most are wider than a single stroller, but they offer the best value and flexibility.

In our latest double stroller reviews, asked testers for their opinions on a variety of factors such as the comfort of riding, handling and how well the pushchair folded. They also rated the ease with which they could take the car seat into and out, and whether it could be used in conjunction with a baby carrier.

The Stroller & Co City Tour 2 Double stroller is a great example for an easy-going, comfortable and flexible double stroller. Our reviewers praised its generous UPF 50+ canopy, which offers real shade with the ability to peek at. Both seats can be reclined into multiple positions by pressing the button. One seat can even be set to lie flat, meaning babies can sleep peacefully in the carrycot that is attached to it.

They are more expensive but can offer greater flexibility because they can fit through narrow doors and aisles. They can be a burden to push and can be difficult to move up kerbs but most do have an front-loaded weight that helps help balance the load.

Flexibility

A double tandem pushchair is an ideal addition to any family, whether you have twins or an infant. It can keep your children entertained by stopping them from fighting or waking each other up.

Certain models offer an extreme degree of flexibility, including the ability to switch to single mode once your child is ready for strollers without having to buy an entirely new one.

It can also be used with a stroller seat and a suitcase that can roll for the parents which allows you to travel light but still bringing everything your family requires.

The rear seat is protected, so your child will be warm in the winter.

A side-by-side pushchair is larger than a tandem, which makes it difficult to navigate walkways or narrow aisles in shops. It is more maneuverable on rocky terrain than a standard double pushchair. Some of these prams can be difficult to steer, especially when your child is larger.

An inline thule double stroller pushchair, on the other hand is the best option for families with multiple children. It is typically used as a twin pram when your children are younger but it is also able to be converted to a tandem when they're older. Some models, like the iCandy Peach 3+ can accept two iSize car seats. This gives you maximum flexibility and value.
