Which Double Tandem Pushchair is Best For Your Family?

When you're preparing for twins or a second child, there are a variety of products that can help make your life with children moving around more comfortable. The double tandem pushchair is just one of them.

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

Stability

If you have twins or children of similar age, a double tandem pushchair makes traveling with two children much more enjoyable and comfortable. There are numerous styles and configurations out there it can be hard to know which one is best for your family. Some are more suitable for running, while others are able to accommodate a third passenger by adding buggyboards. But which ones are the most sturdy?

Side-by-side pushchairs and Prams (like the CYBEX Gazelle S) are perfect for transporting children who are the same age. However they can be a challenge to maneuver around narrow doorways and shopping aisles. In this situation you may be better off with models that are stadium-style, such as the Bugaboo Donkey, or Mountain Buggy Duet. These models allow your children to face either you or eachother depending on their setup.

Tandem models, which put one behind the other can be more manageable, however they are still not as stable than single strollers or car seats for children. They can also be difficult to get up curbs and may have less storage than a side-by-side pushchair.

It is recommended to test the double with both seats seated, because that's the way you'll be using it most. Test how easy it is to navigate and steer the vehicle, especially in tight corners or using the front wheels that rotate. It is also important to test the brakes, as they can be difficult to use if both child seats are installed.

The Phil & Teds Sports Double is the ideal double stroller for those who want a durable stroller that is affordable and able to be used for all. This sleek compact pushchair can be transformed from a single to a tandem in just a few steps. The seat and carrycot recline and can be used either facing the parent or facing each other and the air-filled tyres and all-wheel suspension make it perfect for tackling a variety of terrains. It comes with a handy underseat storage basket, however access to this is partially restricted when the second seat is in place.

If you have twins or a baby and toddler, there is a double pushchair to suit your family. They can be used to transport two kids in tandem, but some can be converted into a single pushchair (though this typically requires removing one seat). They are generally larger than a single stroller but they offer the best value and versatility.

In our recent double stroll reviews, we asked testers for their opinions on a range of aspects including the comfort of the ride, handling ease and how well the pushchair folded. They also noted the ease of it to take the car seat into and out and whether it could be used with a baby car.

The Stroller & Co City Tour 2 Double is a great example of a flexible, comfortable and light dual stroller. Our reviewers appreciated the spacious UPF 50+ canopy, which provides real shade and includes an opening window for peekaboos, and both seats recline into a variety of positions with just the press of one button. One seat can also be set to lie flat, meaning babies can sleep peacefully in the carrycot that is attached to it.

Other excellent features on this pushchair are the padded handlebar that comes with a cup holder and pouch, the easy-to-use braking system and the reversible seat liner that is naturally antibacterial bamboo on one side and soft jersey on the other. Our test participants also appreciated the fact that it is able to fold it with one hand, which is a big plus when you have two young children to keep an eye on.

The rear seat is also covered, which means your child will be protected in winter.

A tandem is more narrow than a side-byside, making it difficult to navigate narrow aisles in stores or busy paths. It can be easier to maneuver on rough terrain compared to a standard double pushchair. Some of these prams may be difficult to steer, especially when your child weighs more.
