6 Popular Tandem Models Compared

[@BarnevognverkstedNo]

In order to keep our recommendations up to date, we maintain a 'Buyer's Guide' (with a wide spectrum of models, and a lot of technical and lifestyle-related information). Organizing our recommendations this way makes it easier to include good models that we haven't made review-videos for yet, as well as to remove models which have developed unforeseen wear-issues over time, or which have been weakened by the manufacturer in their current iterations. You can access the guide (in addition to our 4-part video series on Choosing the Right Stroller for your Lifestyle, and other helpful content), as well as contact us directly on Patreon: www.patreon.com/posts/stroller-buyers-37953864 These materials are also available via channel membership on KZbin: www.youtube.com/@BarnevognverkstedNo/membership , and BuyMeaCoffee: buymeacoffee.com/thestrollerworkshop

I would like to defend the Gazelle S. Been driving one daily in the city for a year. We take the bigger kid to school in the front with the smaller one in the upper seat. The weight limit is 50lbs. My 4 yr old still fits. It has a huge basket which swallows up the weekly groceries. It takes the additional weight no prob. The seats have a true recline not a tilt. The kids have slept many hours in the recline position. It has been folded and tossed in the trunk many times. We strap skis to the wheels and use it in the winter. We got a universal tandem rain cover, added some tabs, and use it in the rain. We are not gentle with it and it still works like new. Issues: Turning is hampered if the older kid leans forward and puts too much weight on the front. I would also like bigger front wheels for rough terrain use. For practical, city use, stroller with 2 kids, this has served us well. Also side by sides don't work in the city, they don't fit anywhere!

[@MiaLiang-i4j]

Thank you very much for the comparison! I noticed Cybex has updated the Gazelle S to a Gazelle S2. If would be wonderful if you can have a review on the new model!

[@Mspans272]

You should have spoken about cons on V2 as double tandem buggy as well

[@michaelgbj]

Would you be able to review the Joovy Qool? another tandem model.

[@juliem2851]

Had a rough day at work, but I come home, got baby in bed and can now relax to videos about prams. I don't mean this ironically, I find your videos fascinating and a great escape. I was unhappy with my Fox and upgraded to a Vista after watching your comparison between the two. Now I think I'll go find a Geo2 so I can keep comparing :D

[@ashleyrenae214]

Is there a stroller you recommend for 2 under 2? I will have a newborn next month, along with an 18 month old. I’ve been doing so much research & getting opinions on the Gazelle & Qool, but a lot of seats don’t accommodate kids for very long 😩 I’m over BabyJogger & their lack of accessories being in stock all the time.

[@ripenedorange]

How would you rank the Peg Perego Ypsi/Agio Z4 in this comparison?

[@evelynduron6549]

I’m amazed that the city jogger strollers aren’t in the video.

[@BarnevognverkstedNo]

We'll be doing the Select soon, and we'll do a few comparisons as well :)

[@analyticalchick3064]

I'm a nanny and that's what my nanny family has. The Uppababy Vista is the most common tandem in our neighborhood and the City Select is second most common tandem, but the City Mini is the most common overall double stroller.

[@bamitscaitlinx]

I wish more people would review this honestly

[@aquarysa1791]

Thank you very much for this video, It is really nice having the strollers directly compared this way (from the standalone reviews, I would have thought the gazelle would have been higher for example, even though the much smaller fold is still quite attractive I think...) Still trying to decide between vista V2 and gazelle + city mini GT2...

[@susanmarin9256]

What did you end up getting?

[@susanmarin9256]

@@aquarysa1791 I really want the gazelle!

[@aquarysa1791]

@@susanmarin9256 I would probably get the gazelle as a double if needed in a few years, but looking at the structural integrity I would not get it for a first child, contrary to the Vista, as it would get too damaged by the first child

[@mackenzielynn7653]

How would you rank the baby jogger city select in here. Been debating between that, vista v2, and bugaboo donkey 3

[@BarnevognverkstedNo]

A bit heavy and long, actually, so not at the top, unfortunately (even though it does have a few advantages). But what you should choose depends a lot on your own situation. If you are looking at a period of 2-child use over a year or so, then the Donkey will be best. :)

[@mackenzielynn7653]

@@BarnevognverkstedNo thank you for your response, your non sponsored content is really helpful!

[@yaninabaltaze2227]

@@BarnevognverkstedNo thank you for your helpful video, was very insightful. We already have a Donkey - we have 2 under 2 children. What I personally find rather annoying in donkey is its small storage basket which tends to fold. Also for a premium brand they could’ve added some extra features they I’ve seen in other strollers....

[@Pearcryt]

Hi! I was expecting my first child and purchased donkey 3. Unfortunately, I don’t need it anymore. It is still in the box. Brand new. If you are interested I can give it to you 200$ off. Brand New.

[@Jeo-x3]

How do these compare to the evenflo pivot xpand?

[@madisonm2838]

Thank you so much for this video! Which tandem would you recommend for really tall toddlers? My 3 year old is 39.5" tall. So she's not comfortable in the strollers I have tried. I have the Bob but it really is too heavy and awkward for everyday use for me.

[@shaniceadams8231]

Did you find something that worked? I have the same issue

[@mazserenarockers9851]

I really like your video, it's just that in person when trying these prams out, Uppa Baby Vista V2 was great except I was advised that you shouldn't use the handle bar to push it down because UppaBaby would class this as misuse. The foot bar is inside the basket and if you're not super long-legged, it's impossible to reach and manouver up and down a kerb, something super important in my area :-( So that's why #1 is not really #1 and we are trying to decide between Thule Sleek and Geo 2 now. I need to try the Geo 2 out properly.

[@kakefyll]

Can you review the city select lux?

[@BarnevognverkstedNo]

It's on the list, but other models keep hopping ahead of it. We'll get to it soon though. :)

[@sharontangpedersen4194]

Hi 👋 could you please do a video of the best side by side strollers / twin strollers please. And could you include the emmaljunga nxt twin stroller in the video? Regards, sharon

[@francoiselafferty-hancock5112]

Really interested in which doubles would work on public transport. Was eyeing up the Joolz because it's narrower than the UppaBaby. Hard to tell if Uppababy would be too wide. Thanks heaps for the video! I borrowed a Phil and Ted double but far out it's long! Takes up three and a half seat spaces!

[@mazserenarockers9851]

This is a consideration I'm going through at the moment, Vista is out for me because I was advised you shouldn't push down to go up a kerb as it can damage the frame and would be classed as "misuse" by Uppababy. The foot bar is inside the basket and is unfortunately too far for my short legs, so sadly will not suit. What did you end up going with?

[@rochis9314]

Hi, great channel, thank you so much. Do you have a video on side by side strollers?

[@BarnevognverkstedNo]

We need to buy in and review a few models that we love (in addition to the Donkey) first (Thule Urban Glide 2, Babyjogger GT 2 Double), and then we will defenitely be doing a video on side-by-side models. :)

[@rochis9314]

Thank you! Here in Brooklyn lots of people love their mountain buggy, would love to hear your thoughts

[@Free-g8r]

I'm surprised the Baby Jogger City Select 2 want included here. It is very popular in Canada.

[@BarnevognverkstedNo]

We hadn't reviewed the newest version of the Select at the time this video was released, you can see our full review of the Select 2 here though: kzbin.info/www/bejne/mqeZpo2aorJ0b7s :)

Hi I haven't seen a review for the Agio Z4 stroller in your channel? Have you happened to review it and I missed it? Thank you! I enjoy watching your reviews

We're generally not big Peg Perego fans (the company that runs Agio), but we may get to it in the future. :)

HOW WOULD ONE GET THERE HANDS ON THE NUNA MARKET BASKET ? (FOR A USA MODEL) LOOKS LIKE ITS ONLY AVB IN THE UK.. IS IT COMPATABLE WITH THE USA MODEL...

[@BarnevognverkstedNo]

I'm not sure on this, since we can only get the European version, but I'd write Nuna customer service directly or ask a distributor. :)

[@cocoo342]

Thank you for these videos! I’m expecting twins, what strollers do you recommend?

[@BarnevognverkstedNo]

A side-by-side model generally, not a tandem model. :) Beyond that though would depend a bit on your environment and lifestyle. We cover several decent side-by-side models in this video: kzbin.info/www/bejne/Y4WydmaJec1-j80

[@ziyaadlife8596]

Hmmm...no mention of Phil and Teds. They claim to have invented the single-to-double inline tandem, so I'm curious as to how they fare amongst the brands mentioned in this video.

[@joannahs7620]

In this video, is the Wave the 2021 one? The 2021 version is updated and improved and I was wondering if this was that or the one from a couple of years ago.

[@BarnevognverkstedNo]

Visually, it's the 2020 version, but we took the updates (which were not significant from a mechanical perspective) into account in our research and presentation of the model as a whole.

[@carlyjmc]

Hiya, have you a video of the mountain buggy duet v3? Debating this for my newborn and small 2 year old. I do a lot of walking so would appreciate any other recommendations you have that can fit through a door of 70cms x

[@BarnevognverkstedNo]

We don't have any videos of the duet, unfortunately, but if what you're after is specifically a side-by-side model under 70 cm, I'm pretty sure that there's nothing else on the market. I recently had a Patron from Singapore with similar needs (there's a maximum width limit for city buses there), and I couldn't find anything else anyway (at least nothing decently built). :)

[@viviawaag863]

It seems like you’ve never heard of ABC Design Zoom. It’s a CERY cumbersome stroller to deal with, but one adorable thing it can, is have the kids face eachother. My mil had one for her children. It really was a pain in the a$$, to deal with. The only good thing about it, is that is was compact.

[@marybella4350]

Mid-line German brand that produces huge strollers that don’t last
