10 Places To Find Tandem Double Buggy
Buying a Tandem Double Buggy
If you have twins or children similar in age, a tandem double buggy is a fantastic option. They are smaller than side by side buggies and are great for narrow spaces like doorways, public transport and rough terrain.
Some can be converted into travel systems that can take two carrycots or car seats for children. They are often heavier, longer and less stable than a single pushchair.
Convertible
If you're looking for convertible stroller that can be converted from a single to a double or to add another seat to an existing one, there's several options available. The Vista V2 from UPPAbaby is spacious, gorgeous stroller that can easily be converted from a single to double by adding the rumble seat (available separately). However, it's expensive and less maneuverable than other dual strollers since the second seat goes in front of the front seat.

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