What is a tandem stroller?
Tandem strollers, often refrerred to as double strollers or duo strollers as well are strollers for two children. There are two major versions, those for twins which feature two seperate seats for each infant and those for a baby and a toddler, the stand on version, with one seat and a base the other child can stand on. You’ll also rarely find triple strollers for up to three children, but they are less common and often significantly more expensive.
Most commonly the seats are mounted behind each other but there are some manufacturers offering side by side models as well. These are often a little harder to maneuveur and alot broader, but offer the comfort of both children having a perfect view from their stroller, not watching the back of their brother or sister. They are also available as jogging versions, something a regular duo stroller does not offer.
A few tandem strollers also allow the seats to be mounted facing each other. Which model you choose depends on personal taste, but the classic tandem stroller is more versatible and easier to navigate than the side by side version.
The best place to shop for tandem strollers is Amazon in our opinion, most strollers ship with free shipping and the prices are much lower than those of specialized baby equipment shops on the net. When looking for a tandem stroller, always make sure to check last years models as well. They offer the same functionality and are often just a bit different in design, but alot cheaper than the newest models.
Always make sure to get a quality stroller and stay away from cheap non-brand products, especially since getting replacement parts for cheap strollers from unknown manufacturers is almost impossible, making them a much more expensive investment than a quality tandem stroller.
