Buying a Tandem Double Buggy

A tandem double buggy can be a great choice when you have twins or children who are close in age. They are a bit smaller than side by side buggies, and are great for tight spaces like doorways, public transport and rough terrain.

Some can be converted to travel systems that use two carrycots or car seats for children. However, they are heavier and longer than single pushchairs, and might feel less stable when in bumping up kerbs.

Convertible

Whether you're looking for a convertible single-to-double stroller or want to add another seat to an existing one, there's several options available. The Vista V2 from UPPAbaby is a spacious, gorgeous stroller that converts easily from a single to double by adding the rumble seating (available separately). However, it's pricey and less maneuverable than other dual strollers since the second seat is placed to the left of the front seat. The Nuna Demi Grow is a comparable model with great seating flexibility, however it does not have storage under the seat when used in doubles mode.
