As you family grows, so do your needs. A stroller isn’t just a piece of baby gear—it’s a daily essential that keeps your little ones safe and comfortable while supporting your busy lifestyle. If you’re preparing to welcome a second child or planning on having two children close in age, a tandem stroller is a wise investment. Let’s explore the when, why, and how of choosing a tandem stroller.
1. When Would I Need a Tandem Stroller?
Consider a tandem stroller if:
- You’re expecting a second child and already have a young one.
- You’re planning on having two children close in age.
The iCandy tandem or double stroller allows you to accommodate both children in one stroller. This eliminates the hassle of managing two separate strollers and ensures both your little ones are safe and comfortable, whether you’re strolling through the park or running errands.
2. Should I Buy a Double Stroller Now If I’m Planning a Second Child?
Yes! If you’re planning to grow your family soon, investing in a tandem stroller from the start is highly recommended. Why?
- Color and model availability: Starting with a tandem stroller ensures you won’t face the disappointment of your preferred color or model selling out.
- Future-proofing: Many tandem strollers, like the iCandy Peach 7, function as a single stroller initially and can be easily adapted into a double stroller when your second baby arrives.
By planning ahead, you save time and money while ensuring your stroller evolves seamlessly with your growing family.
3. What Are the Benefits of a Double Stroller?
A tandem or double stroller offers incredible versatility, making it a fantastic choice for families with multiple children:
- Single-to-double functionality: Use it as a single stroller for one child or attach a second seat when needed.
- Space-saving design: Tandem strollers are more compact than side-by-side double strollers, making them easier to maneuver through tight spaces or store in the car.
- Convenience for older siblings: If your older child starts kindergarten or doesn’t always need a seat, simply remove the second seat and use the stroller as a single. The integrated ride-on board with the iCandy Peach 7 is perfect for short trips when your toddler wants to tag along.
This flexibility ensures that your stroller adapts to your needs, no matter the situation.

5. What’s the Difference Between a Double and a Twin Stroller?
- Double Stroller: A tandem stroller that lets you mix and match configurations, such as one bassinet and one seat or two seats. This makes it perfect for siblings of different ages.
