Which Double Tandem Pushchair is Best For Your Family?

When you're preparing for twins or a second child, there are plenty of products available to help make life with kids on the move easier. One of these is the double tandem pushchair.

From Phil and Teds to Baby Jogger, www.Pushchairsandprams.Uk most brands offer a double stroller as part of their product line. They can come as side-by-side or inline convertible models.

Stability

A double tandem pushchair is ideal for families with twins or children of similar age. It makes travelling with two children more comfortable and easier. There are so many designs and configurations available that it can be difficult to choose the right one for your family. Some are better for running than others, or fit a third seat when you add buggy boards. Which ones are the most stable, though?

Side-by-side pushchairs (like the CYBEX Gazelle S) are perfect for transporting children of the same age. However they can be a challenge to maneuver through narrow doors and shopping aisles. In this case you may be better off with models that are stadium-style like the Bugaboo Donkey, or Mountain Buggy Duet. These models let your children face you or the other according to their configuration.

Tandem models that place one behind the other are easier to manage than side-by-side pushchairs. However, they are still not as stable as single strollers and car seats. They can be difficult to climb up curbs and could have less storage than a side-by-side pushchair.

It is recommended to test the double with both seats in place since that's how you'll be using it most. Check how easy it is to maneuver and steer the vehicle, particularly in tight corners or with the front wheels that rotate. It is a good idea to test the brakes too as they can be difficult to operate when both child seats are in use.
