Choosing a Double Pram and Pushchair

A good double pram or pushchair will simplify family life, especially on busy footpaths or in stores and shops. Choose a model with generous storage space for stowing nappies, snacks, and other essentials.

Some parents who are new to the family opt for a future proof pushchair that can be used as a single pram once baby is born. It can be converted into a twin mode after the baby has arrived. Joolz offers a variety of these options.

Tandem

The announcement that you're expecting a baby is one of life's most exciting experiences. But, once the initial excitement wears off and the reality sets in, you may be faced with a myriad of decisions about how to prepare your family for the arrival of your baby one or one. The right pram or stroller is one of the most important things to consider.

Tandem prams (also called "in-line" double prams) are a classic design that feature two seats or pram bassinets arranged side by side. The front seat, which is typically cushioned, reclines flat and is suitable for infants. The second seat is a bit higher and designed to fit toddlers as young as 3 years old. Some models come with seats that can be reversible, so you can choose whether your children face each other or look out at you. Many tandems have the option of converting into a single pushchair when you decide your oldest child doesn't require the second seat.

In terms of cost the tandem is cheaper than a twin pushchair and can be an excellent choice for parents looking to save money but not compromising on safety or functionality. A tandem can be heavy and difficult to steer, particularly when bumping over curbs. It's also less stable than twin pushchairs especially when a bigger child is in the front. A tandem can be difficult to fit on public transport, and it can be difficult to navigate narrow pavements.

The iCandy Peach is a popular model with a strong image that's a great option for a single parent who wants something streamlined however the tandem mode can make it feel quite heavy and long when pushing. It comes with a frame that expands in size to accommodate a second seat. It can be used with a range of combinations of buggy seats, car seats and carrycots (two at one time or in separate). The iCandy Wave tandem is another lightweight option that's easy-to-use and compatible with a variety of carrycots or car seats.

Side by side

There are a lot of things to consider when choosing a best double strollers pushchair or pram. Whether you're buying for twins or siblings who are close in age, there are a number of configuration options to consider. Tandem prams (also known as side by side prams) are a popular choice since they can be arranged to fit infants in a bassinet at the top, while the larger toddler or infant sits in the seat below.

Some models even have seats that can be reversible, meaning you can adapt the configuration to suit your family's needs throughout the baby and toddler years. This lets you keep your kids in sight at all times and also gives them the chance to interact with each other while they walk.

Tandem prams can be jogging buggies or all-terrain buggies. They are great for outdoor excursions, like to the park. They are also great for narrow aisles and checkouts in shops and supermarkets because they are more compact.

The Redsbaby JIVE3 pram for instance, can be used in tandem mode right from birth, but with the addition of the Rumble seat. (PS249) Then, you can change to a single pram mode once your child gets used to the rumble seat, or use the car capsule adaptors (PS53) to turn it into a travel system from newborn to toddler.

Another option is the Side by Side Pram from Babybee. This double side-byside pram comes in a variety of colors and is designed in a contemporary design. Designed to be used right from the moment of birth, you can include the LUNA Cocoon for newborns (PS262) and the LUNA Infant Seats (PS53 each).

The Egg 2 is a stylish sleek pushchair that can be converted into a double side-by-side. It comes in a range of infant and carrycots to accommodate twins or siblings of different age ranges. It's also easy to collapse. It is also relatively light and compact, making it a great choice for those who have small double buggy cars or limited space for storage.

Convertible

The top double prams and pushchairs are able to be used in multiple ways, and some are even able to change into different seating configurations to meet your changing family needs. There is the possibility of fitting two toddlers in seats or a third child on the seat board, and still have enough space for a shopping basket and the option to add additional accessories such as rain covers is also a benefit. Typically, convertible double strollers are larger and heavier than single pushchairs because they must be capable of holding two or more children. The Graco Modes Nest2Grow convertible is an example of a very affordable convertible that is simple to use. However, our test participants considered it to be somewhat heavy for the price.

Some convertible double strollers like the Baby Jogger City Select 2 have a carrycot that is suitable for babies. This helps to reduce the size of the double infant stroller stroller when it is not being used and makes it smaller. Our testers were impressed with the City Select's innovative one-handed fold, though it requires some time to master. It is also quite agile and responsive in spite of its size.

Another option that is reasonably priced is the Cybex Mockingbird Single-to-Double Stroller. The seat can be converted from a parent-facing infant car seat to an forward-facing toddler seat. The bassinet-style mode is a great option for infants.

If you're looking to expand your options, consider a dual-mode convertible like the iCandy Peach. It's a compact double stroller that can hold two children in a tandem. It can also be used to create a tandem by adding a second seating kit. It's nimble and responsive and our testers loved its sleek design. It's not as light as some of the other pushchairs in our list however it does come with an enormous shopping basket that is handy for parents carrying bags full of groceries and toys.

lightweight twin buggy

Some parents want to ensure the future of their double buggy when they have one child and are expecting another so a convertible option is an excellent choice. The iCandy Peach allows you to change from a single pushchair to a double pushchair with the addition of either an infant seat or the brand's carrycot (which is suitable for sleeping at night). Our testers were pleased with how comfortable the seats are and love the fact that can recline in a variety of positions, have built-in leg and foot supports and have UPF 50+ canopy with peekaboo windows. The rear seat can be elevated to provide a a standing platform for the older child ready to grow double stroller get off and on, so they can reach items in the basket of groceries.

The only issue with the iCandy Peach is that it is quite heavy, but Cher found that this was overcome by its ease to move around and how big the storage area is, with two hanging child and parent cup holders with seat-back pockets as well as an enormous underseat basket. She also liked the seat's design, which is convertible, which means they can be placed to face one another for siblings who want to talk and get together while out and out and about.

The Delta Children LX Side-by-Side Stroller is a smaller model however, it is still awe-inspiring. It weighs only 18 pounds, is compact and features a self standing fold, making it simple to carry around or put in your trunk. Parents appreciate the quality of the materials and workmanship as well as the price is low. The only drawback is that the seats don't recline as far as other models we've tried and the back seat isn't very well-lit due to its position - it's raised higher than the front seat.

Another popular option is the Joolz Geo 3, which is slim and sleek. It is also easy to steer, and comes with an attractive design and lifetime guarantee. It's worth bearing in mind that, despite their smaller size, side by side prams remain wider than tandem and in-line doubles. They can be difficult to navigate through crowded footpaths or in shops. However, they're usually shorter, which means they can be easier to turn in tight spaces than tandems.
