5 Lessons You Can Learn From Tandem Double Buggy > 자유게시판

Buying a Tandem Double Buggy

If you have twins or children similar in age, a tandem double buggy is a great option. They are narrower than side by side buggies, and are great for tight spaces like doorways, public transport and rocky terrain.

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

Convertible

There are many options for adding a second seating or converting a single stroller to a double. The Vista V2 from UPPAbaby is big, beautiful stroller that converts easily from a single stroller to a double by adding the rumble seat (available separately). It is more expensive and less maneuverable since the second seat is located behind the first seat. Nuna Demi Grow provides a similar choice, but it lacks storage under the seat when it is used as a double stroller.

Other alternatives include twin buggies with all-terrain wheels, and joggers with fixed wheels that can hold two kids. These tend to be more expensive but they're designed for long trips over rough terrain, and may have more resale value.

Reclining seat recline independently

If you're looking for a double buggy that is able to carry children of different ages, you'll want one that has recline independent for both seats. This will allow your older child to rest while the baby is in the bassinet and the reverse is true.

Think about the size of your pushchair, as this will determine the ease of you to navigate through doors and on public transport. If you have very narrow doors, it may be a good idea to consider a side-byside pushchair such as the Mountain Buggy Duet which has the advantage of having a footprint similar to a single buggy, but can still accommodate two seats and car seat adaptors.

Tandem buggies are generally slightly longer than side-by-side models, and aren't as difficult to maneuver through kerbs and up and down, but they can accommodate a wider range of seat/carrycot/car seat combinations so can be a good option for twins or siblings of various age. They can also be more expensive than single-to double buggies, but are a good investment if you plan to keep it for years and will have a decent amount of resale value should you decide to sell it off when your children are out of it.

This feature will allow you to put your child in the most comfortable position for naps or observation. This is especially important if you have a child younger than in the rear seat who will prefer to lay back and relax while the older child would prefer to sit up and observe their surroundings.

Some brands feature a unique seat design which allows the back seat to completely recline into an almost flat position which is perfect for newborns. The iCandy Orange, for example has a stadium-style seating option that can be reclined in various positions. It also has UPF 50+ canopy and windows that peek out.

More spacious than twin buggy from birth buggies

There's no need to have twins in order to benefit from a larger double buggy - they're ideal for siblings of different ages and allow you to move around without having to worry about your children touching. They are usually a little more spacious with one seat positioned behind the other. The seats can be reclined completely for newborns or in an upright position for toddlers.

A popular choice is the Mountain Buggy Duet, which has the slimmest side-byside design available and has the same footprint as one buggy. It also comes with an adjustable handle, which makes it easier for parents of various heights to push, and a handbrake that is helpful when climbing difficult hills. It is suitable for use from birth, and can be used with a range of car seats and carrycots.

The iCandy Wave is another option. It can be folded in either mono or duo mode with just one click. Its innovative frame expands widthways to accommodate a second chair and can be used with two car seats or carrycots which makes it an ideal option for older siblings who want to sit in a group and enjoy the view. It's a little longer than other models but still feels light to steer and has soft suspension to tackle kerbs.

There are many 3-wheeler tandems with inline tires that offer stability and quick steering. Check out Phil and Teds inline models, or iCandy Peach and Pear buggies. They can be folded into one buggy in case you have a small space at home, or need to carry it from the car to the bus stop.

It's important to keep in mind that a large double buggy will feel bulkier and heavier than a smaller single buggy Make sure that it's what you require before you buy. It is likely to be used on trains, buses and subways frequently, so it must be easy to use and manage. You might also have to juggle it onto and off the car seat when you take your children to school or nursery so you'll need to be aware it is able to be maneuvered within small spaces.

From birth, you are an ideal candidate

If you're expecting twins or have a second child after your first, you're likely to need to find a stroller that can accommodate the entire family. double seat stroller buggies are typically heavier, bulkier, and more expensive than single strollers. However they are also more maneuverable in narrower doors or around obstacles such as curbs. Many double seat stroller buggies are compatible with piggyback boards (available from the manufacturer or as an add-on). This allows you to carry three children at once.

Tandem pushchairs place one child in the front of the other, so they're often a better choice when you have two children that are close enough in age to be able to live well together. They're not completely safe. Siblings sitting side-by-side can punch or kick one another and children of different heights can fight over who sits taller. This problem can be solved by a tandem high-low model that raises the seat in the back. Your child's older isn't seated at the bottom of the car and won't have much of an opportunity to see.

The iCandy Wave is a great option for parents looking for an easy-to-use convertible double buggy that can 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 the second child seat. It folds flat for storage that is compact. The cushioned buckles, straps and seats are all of the best quality we have seen in our testing. The canopies have a generous size and UPF 50+ protection, and a peekaboo window. Both seats can be reclined independently.

The only downside to the iCandy tandem is that it's a bit expensive. However, a quality tandem will last for years and retain the highest resale value, which means that in the end you'll probably recoup some of the cost. It also doesn't offer the same range of seating configurations as the other top picks however the iCandy is a good option for families who don't want to spend a lot.
