Circle by ABC Design Tandem
The Tandem by the ABC Design Circle sub-brand is an affordable tandem stroller with seats one behind the other. Wheels are made of foam and to provide better stability, the front wheels are double. Thanks to these solid wheels, the Tandem is mainly suitable for undemanding urban walks. The large shopping basket can cope with a big load of shopping; the access is, however, limited.
Only the rear seat can be fully reclined; therefore, the Tandem is useful either for siblings or for twins, if at least one of the children is able to sit independently. To provide more comfort from birth, it is convenient to use an insert nest, a soft carrycot or a newborn insert. The front seat can be reclined only partially and features a limited hood.

Parent reviews of the Circle by ABC Design Tandem
- The front seat is adjustable to a slight recline
- The window on the rear canopy can be covered
- Good handling in the city
- Nice design
- Large zippered shopping basket
- When it's loaded with two kids, it's harder to control
- Not suitable for off-road
- Foam wheels get messy
- When the back is put down, access to the brake is poor
- Must purchase separate footmuffs and rain cover
- Parent handle is foam, must buy protection, otherwise it won't last long
Good sibling stroller. For a newborn it is necessary to buy an insert bag. They sell it in the same colour. We have a grey one and it looks very nice. Overall I am happy with the stroller. It is a "monster" but perfect for two kids.
Too bad they don't make it with inflatable wheels. When there are two kids in the stroller, you have to ride backwards on the stairs. This stroller is not for demanding users. For the price it is good.
- nice
- spacious
- easy folding
- a little bit on the heavier side
A great tandem stroller for siblings.
