Choosing a Double Pram and Pushchair

A double pram can make life easier for families, particularly in bustling stores or on busy streets. Choose a model that has plenty of storage space to store nappies as well as snacks and other necessities.

Some parents who are first-time parents choose an infant pushchair that can be used as a single pram when baby is born. It can be transformed into a twin-mode once he or she has arrived. Joolz provides a variety of these options.

Tandem

The news that you're expecting a baby is one of the most exciting times in life. However, once the initial excitement wears off and the reality sets in, you could be faced with a multitude of decisions about how to prepare your family for the arrival of your little one or one. One of the most important considerations is choosing the correct pram or pushchair.

Tandem prams (also known as 'in-line' double prams) are a timeless design that have two seats or pram bassinets that are arranged side-by-side. The front seat, which is usually cushioned, reclines flat and is suitable for newborns. The second seat is more upright and designed to accommodate toddlers as young as three years. Certain models feature the option of reversible seating, which lets you choose to have your children face towards each other or gaze at you. Many tandems can be made into one pushchair once your oldest child is no longer required to have the second seat.

A tandem is more affordable than a twin pram and can be an excellent choice for parents who want to save money, but without compromising safety or functionality. However, the drawback of a tandem is that it could feel long and heavy to steer, especially when you're moving up and down kerbs, and it is usually less stable than a twin pushchair, especially if the child with the most weight is sitting in the front. A tandem can also be difficult to fit onto public transport and can be difficult to navigate on narrow pavements.

The iCandy Peach is a popular image-conscious model that's a great choice for a singleton parent who is looking for something that is sleek however, the tandem mode can make it feel large and heavy when pushing. It comes with an innovative frame that can be expanded to accommodate the second seat, and can be used with multiple combinations of buggy seats, carrycots and car seats (two at a time or in separate). The iCandy Wave tandem is another lightweight option that's user-friendly and compatible with a variety of car seats and carrycots.

Side by side

When it comes to selecting a double pram or pushchair, there's a lot to consider. There are a variety of configuration options available, whether you're buying for twins or close-in-age siblings. Tandem prams (also known as side by side prams) are popular choices as they can be set up to accommodate infants in a bassinet on the top, while the older toddler or infant is in the lower seat below.

Certain models come with reversible seats which allow you to alter the layout of your family throughout the toddler and baby years. This allows you to keep your little ones in sight at all times and also gives them the an opportunity to interact with one another as they walk.

Tandem prams are jogging buggies as well as all-terrain buggies. They are perfect for outdoor excursions, such as to the park. They're also a good choice if you need to brave narrow checkout aisles or isles in supermarkets as they tend to be more compact than single-seaters.

The Redsbaby JIVE3 pram for instance, can be used in tandem mode from birth, with the addition of an rumble seat. (PS249) If your child gets bored of the rumble chair you can change to a single pram mode. You may also opt to use the car capsule adaptors to transform it from a newborn into a toddler travel system.

Another alternative is the Side by Side Pram from Babybee. This double pram side-by-side is available in a range of colors and features an attractive modern style. It is designed to be used from 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 is able to be converted into a double side by side. It's available in a variety of infant seat and carrycot combinations to accommodate twins or siblings of various age groups. It's also easy to fold. It's also fairly light and therefore a great choice for those with smaller cars or a limited storage space.

Convertible

The top double buggy prams and pushchairs are able to be used in multiple ways, and some are even capable of changing seating configurations to meet your family's changing needs. You can fit two toddlers in the seats or even a third one on the seat board and have enough space for a shopping basket, and the option to add accessories like rain covers is another benefit. Most convertible double strollers are bigger and heavier than single pushchairs due to the fact that they are required to be able to hold two or more children. The Graco Modes Nest2Grow convertible is an example of a very affordable convertible that is simple to use. However, our testers found it to be somewhat heavy for the money.

Some convertible double strollers, such as the Baby Jogger City Select 2 has a carrycot option which is suitable for newborns. This allows the smallest double buggy stroller to be compacted and reduce in size when not being used. The City Select's innovative single-handed folding impressed our testers, but it takes some practice. It's also very fluid and agile in spite of its size.

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

For greater flexibility, opt for a dual-mode convertible like the iCandy Peach. This is a narrow double stroller that can hold two children side-by-side. It can be used to create a tandem by adding a second seat kit. It's agile and responsive, and our testers liked its sleek design. It's not quite as lightweight as some of the other models we've reviewed, however it does come with a huge basket that's ideal for parents who are carrying bags full of toys and food items.

Lightweight

Convertible double strollers are a great option for parents who have a child and expect to have another. The iCandy Peach allows you to change from a single pushchair to a double pushchair, with the addition of a toddler seat or the brand's carrycot (which is suitable for sleeping at night). The seats are extremely comfortable and our testers love that they can be reclined in multiple positions. They also appreciate the fact that the canopy has an open window that can be seen from afar and has UPF 50+ protection. The rear seat can also be elevated to provide a an elevated platform for the older child to climb off and on, so they can access items in the basket of groceries.

Cher said that the one downside of the iCandy Peach was its weight. However, she felt this was offset by the fact that it's easy to move and offers plenty of storage space with two cup holders for parents and their children, seat-back pockets, and a large basket underneath the seat. Cher also appreciated the seat's design, which is convertible, which means they can be positioned to face one another for siblings who want to chat and interact together while out and about.

The Delta Children LX Side-by-Side Stroller is a smaller model, but still impressive. It weighs only 18 pounds, is small and features self-standing fold, making it easy to transport or store in your trunk. Parents love the quality of materials and workmanship, as well as the affordable cost. The only negatives are that the seats don't recline as well as other models we've tried and the rear seat isn't as well-lit due to its location and height. It is higher than the front seat.

The Joolz Geo 3 is another popular choice. It is slim, sleek and easy to steer, and comes with a lifetime warranty. It's important to keep in mind that despite their narrower design, side by side prams are wider than tandem and in-line doubles. They may be difficult to navigate through crowded footpaths or in shops. However, they're generally shorter, which means they can be more maneuverable in tight spaces than tandems.
