Which Is The Tandem Pushchair For Me?

A tandem pushchair is a pushchair that carries two children and has one seat in front of the other. Most tandems are only suitable for children of different ages because the back seat lies completely flat for a newborn, where the other seat will be upright for an older child.

Some tandems are suitable for newborn twins though including the Graco Quattro Tour Duo and the Jane Powertwin to name just a few, these are suitable for newborn twins by attaching two car seats to the pushchair frame.

Attaching car seats to the tandem makes it a travel system which means that you can transport your babies around without disturbing them when they are sleeping.

The benefits of tandems over side by side double pushchairs is that they are the same width as a regular single pushchair, meaning you can get them through doors and manoeuvre them around shops easier. They tend to be easier to push than a side by side pushchair too.

When deciding which tandem pushchair to choose you need to look at a few points including...

1. Do the fabrics and materials seem strong and durable?
2. Does the frame of the pushchair feel strong and sturdy enough to carry two children?
3. Will the tandem fit into the boot of your car or on public transport?
4. Do you have space to store the pushchair?
5. Do the seats seem comfortable?

When you've checked out all of the above points, it's time to decide which tandem pushchair to buy. How do you do that? The best way is to take a look at some pushchair stores online and see which ones appeal to you. Next so a search for reviews of those particular tandems, opinions and facts from people who have used them are invaluable. You might like the look of a particular pushchair, purchase it and then find out it's really not what you wanted - doing your research first will save you time, hassle and money. Also go to a pushchair store that sells the system you're considering and ask the assistant to show it to you, have a go yourself, ask questions, then decide if it's the one for you.
