Choosing a Double Pram and Pushchair

A good double pram or pushchair will simplify the lives of families, especially when walking on busy roads or in stores and shops. Look for a model with generous storage space for stowing nappies, snacks, and other essentials.

Some first-time parents choose a future-proof pushchair which can be used as a single stroller when baby is born, and converted to a twin mode after the baby arrives. Joolz offers a range of these options.

Tandem

The news that you're expecting a baby is one of the most exciting times in your life. However, once the excitement fades and reality sinks into your life, you'll be faced with a myriad of decisions regarding how to prepare your family for the arrival of your baby one or ones. The best stroller or pram is one of the most compact double stroller crucial considerations.

Tandem prams (also known as "in-line" double prams) are a classic design that have two seats or pram bassinets arranged side-by-side. The front seat is typically covered in padding and reclines to a flat angle, making it suitable for newborns while the second one is more upright and can be used by toddlers from around three years older. Some models come with seats that can be reversible, so you can decide if your children face each other or look out at you. Many tandems have the option of converting into a single pushchair when you decide that your child's oldest does not require the second seat.

A tandem is cheaper than a twin pram and can be a great option for parents looking to save money, but without losing safety or function. A tandem can be a bit heavy and difficult to steer, especially when negotiating the kerbs. It is also less stable than twin prams, especially if an older child is in the front. A tandem isn't always easy to fit on public transportation, and it can be difficult to navigate narrow roads.

The iCandy Peach, a popular model with a focus on image, is a fantastic option for parents who are single and want an elegant appearance. However the tandem mode makes it feel heavy and long to push. It comes with a frame that expands in size to accommodate a second seat. It can be used with a variety of combinations of car seats, buggy seats and carrycots (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

When it comes to choosing a double pushchair or pram there's plenty to think about. Whether you're buying for twins or other siblings that are similar in age there are a variety of configuration choices to think about. Tandem prams, also known as side-by-side prams, are a popular options because they can be set up so that the infant can sit in the bassinet at the top while the older child or toddler is seated in the second seat.

Some models have reversible seating that let you customize the configuration for your family throughout the infant and toddler years. This lets you keep your kids always in your sights and also gives them the chance to interact with one another as they walk.

Tandem prams are usually all-terrain buggies or jogging ones that is why they're great for outdoor adventures and in the park. They're also ideal for narrow aisles or checkouts in supermarkets and shops because they are less bulky.

The Redsbaby JIVE3 Pram, for instance can be used as a tandem pram right from birth in dual mode with the addition of the rumble seat (PS249). When your child grows out of the rumble chair, you can change to a single pram mode. You can also choose to use the adaptors for car capsules to convert it from a newborn to toddler travel system.

Another alternative is the Side by Side Pram from Babybee. The side-by-side double pram is available in a variety of colours and has an attractive modern style. 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-byside. It's available in a variety of carrycot and infant seat configurations to accommodate twins or siblings of different age groups. It's also easy to fold. It's also relatively lightweight making it an ideal choice for families who have small cars or only a little storage space.

Convertible

The best double prams and pushchairs are able to be used in multiple ways, and some are even able to change into different seating arrangements to meet the changing needs of your family. You can fit up to three children on the seat board, or two toddlers in the seats, and still have enough space to carry shopping bags. Accessories such as rain covers are also available. Convertible double strollers are generally heavier and larger than single pushchairs because they are designed to accommodate two or more children. The Graco Modes Nest2Grow is one example of a convertible that is affordable that is extremely easy to use, although our testers thought it was a little heavy for the price.

Some convertible double strollers like the Baby Jogger City Select 2 come with a carrycot suitable for babies. This helps to reduce the size of the double stroller when not in use and makes it more compact. The City Select's innovative single-handed folding impressed our test participants however it requires some time to master. It is also quite fluid and agile, despite its size.

The Cybex Mockingbird single-to-double stroller is another affordable option. It can be converted from a parent-facing infant car seat to an forward-facing toddler seat. The bassinet feature is a great option for infants.

For more flexibility, look for a convertible with dual modes such as the iCandy Peach. It's a slim double stroller that is able to accommodate two children side-by-side. It can be used to create a tandem by adding a second seating kit. It's agile and responsive, and our testers were impressed by its sleek design. It's not quite as lightweight like some of the other models on our list, but it has a large basket that's ideal for parents who are carrying bags filled with toys and other items.

Lightweight

Some parents want to ensure the future of their double buggy when they have a child and are expecting another and a convertible model is a good option. The iCandy Peach allows you to change from a single pushchair to a double pushchair, with the addition of an infant seat or the brand's optional carrycot (which is suitable for overnight sleeping). The seats are very comfortable and our testers appreciate that they can be reclined in multiple positions. They also appreciate the design of the canopy, which has a peekaboo window and UPF 50+ protection. The rear seat can be raised so that the child who is older can stand on it to reach the basket of shopping.

The only downside to the iCandy Peach is that it is quite heavy, but Cher felt this was offset by how easy it is to move around and how big the storage area is equipped with two hanging child and parent cup holders, seat-back pockets and a large underseat storage basket. Cher also appreciated the feature that the seats are convertible, which means they can be placed to face each other for siblings who want to talk and get together while out and out and about.

A lighter and equally impressive option is the Delta Children LX side-by-side stroller that weighs just 18 pounds, is extremely compact and features a self-standing fold, making it easy to carry and store in your trunk or at home. Parents are impressed by the quality of materials and workmanship, as well as the affordable price. The only drawbacks are that the seats do not recline as much compared to other models we have tested and the rear seat isn't as well-lit due to its position - it is raised higher than the first seat.

The Joolz Geo 3 is another popular choice. It's slim, sleek, and easy to steer and comes with an unbeatable lifetime warranty. Although they are smaller side-by-side prams may be larger than tandems and inline doubles. This makes them difficult to maneuver on busy footpaths and in shops. They are also smaller and therefore easier to maneuver in tight spaces.
