Choosing a Double Pram and Pushchair

A double pram can simplify life for families, particularly in bustling stores or on busy streets. Choose a model that has ample storage space to store nappies as well as 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 stroller when baby is born, and later changed into a twin mode once he or she is born. Joolz offers a wide range of options.

Tandem

The news that you're expecting the birth of a child is one of the most exciting moments in life. However, after the initial excitement wears off and the reality sets in, you may be faced with a multitude of decisions about how to prepare your family for the arrival of your new one or ones. One of the most important aspects to consider is choosing the right pram or pushchair.

Tandem prams (also known as "in-line" double prams) are a timeless design with two bassinets or seats for prams arranged side-by-side. The front seat, which is typically cushioned, reclines flat and is suitable for newborns. The second seat is a bit higher and designed to accommodate toddlers as young as 3 years. Certain models feature seats that can be reversible, so you can choose to have your children face each other or look out at you. Many tandems have the option of being converted into a single pushchair in the event that you decide that your child's oldest does not require the second seat.

A tandem is cheaper than twin prams and is a great option for parents who want to save money, but without having to sacrifice safety or functional. However, one disadvantage of a tandem is that it could be heavy and long to steer, especially when you're going up or down kerbs. It is often less stable than a twin stroller side by side pram especially if the child who is older is seated in the front. A tandem can also be difficult to get onto public transport and can be difficult to navigate on narrow roads.

The iCandy Peach, a popular model that focuses on image, is an excellent option for parents with one child who want an attractive design. However the tandem mode makes it feel heavy and long to push. It comes with an innovative frame that can be expanded to accommodate the second seat, and it is compatible with many combinations of carrycots, buggy chairs and car seats (two at a time or separately). The iCandy Wave is another lightweight tandem option that's easy to use and compatible with a variety of car seats and carrycots.

Side by side

There are many things to think about when selecting a double pushchair or pram. If you're buying for twins or siblings close in age there are a variety of configuration options to consider. Tandem prams, referred to as side-by-side prams, are popular choices due to the fact that they can be set up so that the infant can sit in the bassinet on top while the older child or toddler is sitting in the second chair.

Some models even feature convertible seats, which means you can alter the seating arrangement to meet the needs of your family throughout the baby and toddler years. This lets you be able to watch your children at all times and gives them the chance to connect with them as they walk.

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

The Redsbaby JIVE3 Pram, for instance, can be used as a tandem pram starting from birth in the dual mode with the addition of the rumble seat (PS249). Then, you can change to a single pram mode when your little one grows out of the rumble seat, or use the adaptors for car capsules (PS53) to transform it into a travel system for infant to toddler.

The Side by Side Pram from Babybee is a different alternative. The double side-by-side pram is available in a range of colors and is designed in a contemporary design. Designed to be used right from birth, you can include the LUNA newborn Cocoon (PS262) and the LUNA Infant Seats (PS53 each).

The Egg 2 is a stylish sleek pushchair that can be converted into a double stroller sale side by side. It is available in a variety of infant seats and carrycots to accommodate twins or siblings with different age ranges. It is also super-easy to collapse. It's also relatively lightweight making it an ideal option for those who have small cars or only a little storage space.

Convertible

Some of the best double pushchairs or prams can be configured into different seats to meet your needs as they change. It is possible to fit two toddlers in the seats or a third rider on the seat board and still have room for a shopping basket, and the capability to add accessories like rain covers is a advantage. Convertible foldable double stroller strollers tend to be heavier and larger than single pushchairs, as they need to hold two or more children. The Graco Modes Nest2Grow is one instance of a low-cost convertible that is extremely easy to use, although our testers felt that it was a little heavy for its price.

Some convertible double strollers like the Baby Jogger City Select 2 comes with a carrycot which is suitable for newborns. This allows the double stroller to be folded down and reduced in size when it is not used. The City Select's innovative, one-handed folding impressed our test subjects however it requires some time to master. It's also extremely responsive and nimble, despite its size.

The Cybex Mockingbird single-to-double stroller is another affordable option. It can be converted from a child-facing car seat to a forward-facing toddler seat. The bassinet mode makes it a great option for infants.

If you want more flexibility look into a convertible with dual modes such as the iCandy Peach. It's a compact double stroller that can accommodate two children side-by-side. It can also be used to make a tandem by adding a second seat kit. It feels agile and responsive, and our test users liked its sleek design. It's not quite as lightweight like some of the other models on our list however it does come with a huge basket that is useful for parents who have to carry bags of toys and other items.

Lightweight

Some parents like to future-proof their double buggy when they have one child and are expecting another, so a convertible option is a great option. The iCandy Peach can be converted from a single pushchair to a double with the addition of a toddler seat, or the brand's carrycot (which works well for sleeping at night). Our testers noted the comfort of the seats and adore the fact that both recline to multiple positions, come with built-in foot and leg supports and generous UPF 50+ canopy with windows that peek out. The rear seat can be raised to allow the child of a higher age can stand on it to reach the basket of shopping.

The only issue with the iCandy Peach is that it is quite heavy. However, Cher found that it was offset by the ease to move around and how big the storage area is, with two hanging child and parent cup holders as well as seat-back pockets, and an enormous underseat basket. Cher also appreciated that the seats can be turned so that they face each other. This is perfect for siblings who love to talk and interact when out and about.

A lighter-weight but just as impressive choice is the Delta Children LX side-by-side stroller that weighs only 18 lbs. It is compact and features a self-standing fold that makes it easy to transport and put in your trunk or at home. Parents love the quality of the materials and workmanship and the affordable price. The only downside is that the seats don't recline as much as some other models we've tried and the back seat isn't as well-lit because of its position that is higher than the front seats.

The Joolz Geo 3 is another popular choice. It's slim, sleek and easy to steer, and comes with a lifetime warranty. While they're smaller, side-by-side prams can still be more spacious than tandems and inline doubles. This makes them difficult to maneuver on busy footpaths and in shops. However, they're generally smaller, and can be easier to turn in tight spaces than tandems.
