Which Double Tandem Pushchair is Best For Your Family?

If you're planning for twins or a new child, there are plenty of products available to help make life with children moving around more comfortable. The double tandem pushchair is a prime example of them.

From Phil & Teds to Baby Jogger, most brands offer a double stroller as part of their product range. They can be side-by-side or convertible models inline.

Stability

A double tandem pushchair is perfect for families with twins or children with similar ages. It makes the journey of two children more comfortable and easier. There are so many styles and configurations to choose from that it can be a challenge to choose the right one for your family. Some are better for running than others, or accommodate a third seat if you add buggy boards. But which ones are the most solid?

Side-by-side pushchairs (like the CYBEX Gazelle S) are ideal for transporting children of the same age. However they can be a challenge to maneuver through narrow doors and aisles for shopping. In this situation you may prefer a stadium model, such as the Bugaboo Donkey, or Mountain Buggy Duet. These models allow your children to either face you or another depending on their setup.

Tandem models that place one behind the other are more manageable than side-byside pushchairs, however they're not as sturdy as single strollers or car seats. They can be difficult to push up curbs and they could have less storage space than a side-by-side pushchair.

You should test the double with both seats seated, as that is how you'll use it the most. You should check whether it is easy to navigate and steer, especially in tight corners or with the swivel front wheels. It is recommended to test the brakes too because they may be difficult to operate if both child seats are in use.

If you're looking for a high-quality double stroller at a reasonable price that can do it all look no further than the Phil & Teds Sport Double.

In our recent double stroll reviews, we asked our testers to give their opinions on a variety of things including the comfort of the ride, handling ease and how well the stroller folded.

The Stroller & Co City Tour 2 Double is an excellent example of a flexible, comfortable and light dual stroller. Our reviewers praised its generous UPF 50+ canopy, which provides real shade and the ability to peek at. Both seats can be reclined into multiple positions by pressing the button. One seat can be set to lay flat so the baby can sleep in the carrycot above it.

A tandem is smaller than a side-by-side, which makes it difficult to navigate narrow aisles in shops or busy footpaths. However, it is easier to manoeuvre on rocky terrain than a standard dual pushchair. Some of these prams can be difficult to steer, particularly when your child is heavier.
