Which sit n stand double stroller Tandem Pushchair is Best For Your Family?
If you're planning for twins or a second child there are plenty of products to make life with children moving around easier. One of them is the double tandem pushchair.
From Phil & Teds, to Baby Jogger, most brands offer a double buggy with carrycot stroller in their product range. They can be side-by-side or inline convertible models.
Stability
If you have twins or children of similar age, a double tandem pushchair (Related Homepag) makes traveling with two children much more enjoyable and comfortable. But, with so many styles and configurations available it can be hard to determine which one is the best double stroller for your family. Some are better for running than others, or can be a third-seater when you add buggy boards. Which ones are the most stable however?
Side-by-side pushchairs (like the CYBEX Gazelle S) are perfect for transporting children who are the same age. They can be difficult to maneuver through narrow entrances or aisles of shopping. In this case you might be better off with an arena model, such as the Bugaboo Donkey, or Mountain Buggy Duet. These models let your children face you or the other depending on their configuration.
Tandem models that seat 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 also be tough to navigate around curbs and may have less storage capacity than a side-byside pushchair.
You should test the double with both seats in place since that's how you'll use it the most. Test the ease with which it is to steer and navigate the vehicle, particularly in tight corners or using the front wheels that swivel. It is also important to check the brakes, as they can be difficult to use when both child seats are installed.
The Phil & Teds Sports Double is a great double stroller for people who want a quality stroller at a reasonable price that can do it all. This stylish compact pushchair can be changed from a single model to tandem in just a few steps. The seat and carrycot can be used either parent-facing or facing each other. Its air-filled tires and all-wheel suspension enable it to conquer a variety of terrains. It also comes with an underseat storage basket, but access to this is partially blocked when the second seat is in place.
Comfort
There is a double stroller that is suitable for every family, whether you have twins, a toddler or a newborn. They can be used to transport two children in tandem, but some can be converted to one pushchair (though this typically requires the removal of one seat). They tend to be wider than a single pushchair, however, they are generally able to provide ultra flexibility and good value for money.
In our latest double pushchair reviews, we surveyed users to rate each model on a variety of factors including ride comfort, ease of handling and how it folded. They also evaluated how easy it was to get the car seat in and out, and if it could be used with a baby carrier.
The Stroller & Co City Tour 2 Double stroller is a great example for lightweight and comfortable dual stroller. Our reviewers praised the generous UPF 50+ canopy which offers real shade and comes with an opening window for peekaboos, and the seats can recline to various positions with the push of the button. One seat can also be made to lie flat so that a newborn can sleep comfortably in the carrycot which is attached to it.
Other excellent features on this pushchair include the padded handlebar that comes with a cup pouch and holder as well as the simple braking system and the reversible seat liner made of bamboo that is naturally anti-bacterial on one side and soft jersey on the other. Our test subjects also appreciated the fact that it is able to fold it in one hand which is a huge benefit when you have two young children to watch.
They are more expensive but they can provide more flexibility as they can fit through narrow aisles and doors. They can be difficult to push and difficult to move up kerbs however, they do come with an front-loaded weight that helps to balance the overall load.
Flexibility
Whether you're looking to keep your twins in close proximity or have a baby and toddler, a double tandem pushchair can be a great addition to your family. It can keep your children content by preventing them from arguing or waking each other up. This type of buggy may also be a great option for those who plan to use it on public transportation because it is more convenient to fit into the available space.
Some models can offer ultra flexibility, converting back to single mode when your child is ready for strollers without having to purchase a new one. The UPPAbaby small double stroller can accommodate two infant car seats in the back and a riding board making it suitable for three children. It can be used alongside the stroller and a roll-away case for the parents. This lets you travel light, while still having everything your family needs.
The Joovy Caboose Ultralight Graphite is an entirely different type of double stroller from the other models, yet it comes with the same features you'll find in our top-rated selections. We like the fact that it folds in hands and easily through doors, and that the basket underneath is taller to make it easier to drop shopping into. The rear seat is covered to keep your youngster warm in winter.
A side-by-side pram is wider than a tandem, making it harder to navigate crowded walkways or narrow aisles in shops. However, it's more maneuverable on rocky terrain than a standard pushchair. Some of these prams can be difficult to steer, particularly when your child weighs more.
An inline double pushchair, however, is a better option for most families. It is typically used as a twin pram when your children are younger, but can also convert into a tandem when they're older. Certain models, such as the iCandy Peach 3+ can accommodate two iSize car seats. This gives you maximum flexibility and value.

This can be a good option if you're planning on having another child in the near future and can extend the lifespan of your buggy. It's not easy to convert it back to one seat once your older child has grown out of it.
