Choosing a Double Pram and Pushchair

A double pram or pushchair can simplify life for families, particularly on busy footpaths or in stores and shops. Select a model that offers ample storage space for nappies as well as snacks and other essentials.

Some first-time parents choose a future-proof pushchair that can be used as a single stroller once baby is born, and then changed to a twin stroller with car seats mode when the baby is born. Joolz offers a range of options.

Tandem

The news that you're about to have to have a baby is among the most exciting moments in your life. However, once the excitement fades and the reality sets in, you may be faced with a multitude of decisions regarding how to prepare your family for the arrival of your baby one or one. The proper stroller or pram is one of the most important considerations.

Tandem prams, also referred as "in-line" double prams are a classic design with two bassinets or chairs placed 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 reversible seating so you can choose whether your children face one another or look at you. Many tandems also have the option of being converted into a single pushchair if you decide that your oldest child does not require the second seat.

A tandem is less expensive than a twin pram and is an excellent choice for parents who want to save money, without compromising safety or functionality. However, one disadvantage of a tandem is that it can feel long and heavy to steer, particularly when bumping up or down kerbs. It is usually less stable than a twin pushchair, particularly if the older child is sitting in the front. A tandem can be difficult to place on public transport, and it may be difficult to navigate narrow pavements.

The iCandy Peach is a popular model that is a good choice for a single parent who is looking for something that is sleek, but the tandem mode can make it feel quite large and heavy when pushing. It comes with an expanded frame that increases 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 is another lightweight tandem option that is easy to use and compatible with a range of carrycots and car seats.

Side by side

When it comes to selecting a double pram or pushchair, there's a lot to consider. There are many configuration options available, whether you're buying for twins or close-in-age siblings. Tandem prams, referred to as side-by-side prams are popular choices because they can be configured so that the infant is able to sit in the bassinet at the top while the older child or toddler is sitting in the second seat.

Some models have reversible seating which allow you to alter the layout of your family members throughout the infant and toddler years. This lets you keep your little ones in sight at all times and also gives them the chance to get to know one another as they walk.

Tandem prams are typically jogging or all-terrain buggies, which means they're ideal for outdoor adventures and the park. They are also great for narrow aisles and checkouts in shops and supermarkets because they are smaller.

The Redsbaby JIVE3 pram, for instance, can be used in tandem mode from birth, with the addition of the 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 make use of the car capsule adaptors to convert it from a newborn to toddler travel system.

The Side by Side Pram made by Babybee is another option. This double pram side-by-side is available in a variety of colours and has an attractive modern style. It is designed to be used from birth, you can include the LUNA newborn Cocoon (PS262) and the LUNA Infant Seats (PS53 each).

If you're looking for a sleek, elegant pushchair that can be converted into a double umbrella stroller-sided side-by-side, the Egg 2 from Chicco is an excellent choice. It's available in a variety of carrycot and infant seat combinations to cater for twins or siblings of different age groups and is easy to fold. It's also fairly light and therefore a good option for those with little space in their cars or don't have enough space to store.

Convertible

The best off road 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 accommodate up to three children on the seat board or two toddlers in the seats while still having enough space for a shopping bag. Accessories like rain covers are also available. Convertible double strollers double tend to be heavier and larger than single pushchairs due to the fact that they have to hold two or more children. The Graco Modes Nest2Grow convertible is an example of an affordable convertible that is easy to use. However, our test participants considered it to be somewhat heavy for the money.

Some convertible double strollers, like the Baby Jogger City Select 2 has a carrycot option which is suitable for newborns. This helps to reduce the size of the double stroller when not in use, and makes it more compact. Our test participants were awestruck by the City Select's unique one-handed fold, though it does take a bit of practice. It's also extremely responsive and nimble even despite its size.

The Cybex Mockingbird single-to-double stroller is another option that is reasonably priced. It can be converted from a parent-facing infant car seat to an forward-facing toddler seat. The bassinet-style mode makes it a great option for infants.

For greater flexibility, opt for a convertible with dual modes like the iCandy Peach. This is a narrow small double buggy buggy that can fit two children in a row however it can also be used as a tandem by the addition of a second-seat kit and rider board. It's responsive and agile, and our testers liked its sleek design. It's not as light as the other pushchairs we've reviewed, but it offers an enormous shopping basket that is ideal for parents with bags full of toys and groceries.

Lightweight

Some parents like to future-proof their double buggy (linked here) when they have a child and are expecting another so a convertible option is a great option. The iCandy Peach allows you to transform from a single to a double pushchair by the addition of an infant seat or the brand's carrycot (which is suitable for sleep overs). Our test subjects were impressed by the comfort of the seats and adore the fact that they can recline in a variety of positions, come with built-in foot and leg supports and large UPF 50+ canopy that has windows that peek out. 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 issue with the iCandy Peach is that it is quite heavy, but Cher believed that it was balanced by how easy it is to maneuver and how large the storage area is, with two hanging child and parent cup holders as well as seat-back pockets, and a large underseat storage basket. Cher also appreciated the fact that the seats are reversible, so they can be set to face one another for siblings who wish to talk and get together while out and out and about.

The Delta Children LX Side-by-Side Stroller is a smaller model, but still impressive. It weighs just 18 pounds, is compact, and has self-standing fold, making it easy to transport or put in your trunk. Parents love the quality of materials and workmanship, and the low price. The only drawbacks are that the seats do not recline as much compared to other models we've tried and the rear seat is not as well-lit due to its position as it is higher than the seat in front.

The Joolz Geo 3 is another popular choice. It's slim, sleek, easy to steer and has a lifetime guarantee. Although they are narrower, side-by-side prams can still be more spacious than tandems and inline doubles. This can make them difficult to maneuver on busy footpaths and in shops. However, they're generally shorter, which means they can be easier to turn in tight spaces than tandems.
