The Tandem Buggy has been designed to cater for the needs of families that have a child with special needs and a younger sibling. The Tandem Seat unit offers a good level of postural support, with additional Headrests, Trunk Supports and Harnessing.
The Sibling Seat system works from birth with the Mimmo Baby Car Seat that is designed to be used in a vehicle, and then also attaches to the rear of the Tandem Buggy Frame with an adaptor bracket. As the younger sibling grows, they then use the Ergo Toddler Seat seat that attaches to the same attachment points.
The Tandem Stroller has three seat unit sizes, which are interchangable on the same chassis. This allows the system to grow with the child. It is important to make sure that the child using the front seat is significantly heavier than the child using the rear seat to avoid stability problems.
