You'll need a stroller for your entire family, whether you're expecting twins, or you have another child after having your first. Double buggies tend to be larger, heavier and cost more than single strollers, but they can also be easier to maneuver in narrower doorways or around obstacles like curbs. Many double buggies work with piggyback boards (available from the manufacturer or as an accessory). This allows you to carry three children at the same time.
Tandem pushchairs seat one child in the front of the other, and they're often a better choice for families with two children who are similar in age to function well together. They're not foolproof. Siblings seated side-by-side may kick or punch each other, and children of different heights may fight over who sits taller. A tandem high-low model can solve this issue by elevating the seat at the rear, preventing your child's older one from sitting on the bottom and not getting any view.
The iCandy Wave is a good choice for parents looking for a convertible double buggy with a carrycot that can fit both infants and an older child.

The seats can be reclined independently and the canopies are spacious and large with UPF 50+ protection and windows that can be seen from a distance.
The only downside to the iCandy tandem is that it's quite expensive. But a high-quality tandem will last for many years and have an attractive resale value so in the end you'll probably recoup a portion of the cost. The iCandy does not have the same seating options as our other top selections. However, it's an ideal choice for families that don't want spend much money.
