Buying a Tandem Double Buggy
A tandem double buggy could be a great option when you have twins or children who are very close in age. They are smaller than side-by-side buggies and are ideal for narrow spaces like doorways, public transport and rough terrain.
Some can be converted into travel systems that use two carrycots or child car seats. However, they can be heavier and longer than single pushchairs and may feel less stable in bumping up the kerbs.
Convertible
If you're looking for a convertible single-to-double stroller or want to add a second seat to an existing one, there are several options available. The UPPAbaby V2 is spacious, gorgeous stroller. It can be easily changed from a single to a best double stroller by adding the Rumble seat. It is more expensive and less maneuverable because the second seat is placed in front of the first seat. Nuna Demi Grow provides a similar choice but lacks storage under the seat when it is used as a double stroller.
Other options include all terrain double stroller-terrain twin buggies, as well as fixed-wheel joggers which can be used to accommodate two children. They tend to be more expensive, but they're made for long trips over rough terrain, and may have a higher resale value.
Reclining the seat independently
If you want a double stroller that can accommodate children of various age groups, you'll require one with independent seat recliner for both seats. This allows your child of a higher age to relax in the back while the baby sleeps in the bassinet and reverse.
It is also important to think about the size of the pushchair as this will impact how easy it is to traverse doors and public transportation.

It has a footprint that is similar to a single stroller but it can accommodate two seats and car seat adaptors.
Tandem buggies tend to be longer than side by side models, making them more difficult to maneuver up and down kerbs. However they can also accommodate a wider range of combinations of car seats/car seats/seats and can make a great option for twins and siblings of various ages.

It comes with an adjustable handle that makes it easier for parents to push and a handbrake that is helpful on steep hills. It can be used from birth and is compatible with a variety of car seats and carrycots, which means it is a great travel system.
The iCandy Wave is another option. It folds in duo or mono mode with just one click. Its clever frame expands in width to accommodate an additional chair and can be used with up to two car seats or carrycots. This makes it a great choice for older siblings that wish to sit together. It's slightly longer than some other models but still feels light to steer and has soft suspension to tackle kerbs.
There are many 3-wheeler tandems with inline wheels that offer stability and quick steering. Check out Phil and Teds inline models, or iCandy Peach and Pear buggies.

Be aware that a double buggy converts to single-wide buggy is more heavy and more bulkier than a single compact buggy. Be sure to know what you want prior to making a buy. It will be used on trains, buses and subways frequently, so it should be easy to use and manage. You may also have to move it on and off the car seat while taking your children to school or nursery so you'll need to be aware it's easy to maneuver in tight spaces.
From birth, you are a suitable candidate
You'll need a stroller for your entire family, regardless of whether you're expecting twins or you have another child after having your first. Double buggies are generally heavier and bulkier, as well as more expensive than single to double buggy strollers. However they are also more maneuverable in tighter doors or around obstacles such as curbs. Many double buggies can be used with piggyback boards (available from the manufacturer or as an accessory). This lets you transport three children simultaneously.
Tandem pushchairs put one child in front of the other. They're a great option if your children are close in age and are good friends. But they're not foolproof: Siblings in side-by-side seats can kick or punch each other, and children who are different heights can argue over who gets to sit higher. This problem can be solved by a tandem high-low model that raises the seat in the back. Your child's older one isn't seated at the bottom of the car and won't be able to get an eye.
The iCandy Wave is a great choice for parents looking for 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 an intelligent frame that increases in size when you add a second child seat. It folds flat for storage that is compact. The padded straps, buckles, and seats are all of the highest quality we have encountered in our tests. You can recline both seats independently and the canopies are spacious and large with UPF 50+ protection and windows that peek out.
The only downside of the iCandy is that it's a bit expensive, but a quality tandem will last for years and retain its resale value, so you'll probably recoup some of the cost over the long term. It doesn't have the same selection of seating configurations as the other top choices however, the iCandy is a great choice for families who don't want to spend a lot.
