Choosing a Double Pram and Pushchair

A cheap double stroller pram can simplify life for families, particularly in busy shopping centers or on busy streets. Choose a model with ample storage space to store nappies, snacks, and other essentials.

Some parents who are first-time parents opt for a future-proof pushchair that can be used both as a single stroller at the time baby is born, and later changed to a twin mode after he or she arrives. Joolz offers a wide range of choices.

Tandem

The announcement that you're expecting a baby is one of life's most exciting moments. When the excitement wears off and the reality of the situation sets in, you'll have to make a number of decisions regarding how to prepare your family for. The best stroller or pram is one of the most crucial considerations.

Tandem prams (also called "in-line" double prams) are a classic style with two bassinets or seats for prams arranged side-by-side. The front seat is typically padded and reclines to a flat position, making it suitable for infants and the second seat is more upright and is able to accommodate toddlers from around three years of age. Certain models feature reversible seating so you can decide if your children face each other or look out at you. Many tandems also have the option of converting into a single pushchair if you decide that your child's oldest no longer needs the second seat.

In terms of price it is cheaper than a twin pushchair and can be a great choice for parents who want to save money but not compromising on safety or convenience. However, a drawback of a tandem is that it may be heavy and long to steer, particularly when bumping up or down kerbs. Additionally, it is often less stable than a twin pram, especially if the child with the most weight is seated in the front. A tandem can be difficult to place on public transport, and it can be difficult to navigate narrow roads.

The iCandy Peach, a popular model that focuses on image, is an excellent alternative for a single parent who wants a sleeker design. However, the tandem mode makes it feel heavy and long to push. It has frames that can be expanded in width to accommodate the second seat. It can be used with a variety of car seats, buggy seats and carrycots (two at simultaneously or separately). The iCandy Wave is another lightweight twin buggy tandem option that is easy to use and compatible with a variety of carrycots and car seats.

Side by side

When it comes to choosing a double pushchair or pram 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 referred to as side-by-side prams are popular choices because they can be configured so that the infant can be seated in the bassinet on top while the toddler or older child is seated in the second seat.

Some models come with reversible seats, which means you can modify the seating to suit your family's needs throughout the toddler and baby years. This will allow you to keep your little ones always in your sights and gives them a chance to get to know each other as they stroll.

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

The Redsbaby JIVE3 pram for example, can be utilized in tandem mode from birth, with the addition of the rumble seat. (PS249) Then, you can switch to the single pram mode once your baby is old enough to leave the rumble seat, or use the car capsule adaptors (PS53) to transform it into a travel system from newborn to toddler.

Another option is the Side by Side Pram from Babybee. The side-by-side double pram is available in a range of colors and comes with an attractive modern style. The design is intended to be used from birth, you can add the LUNA newborn cocoon (PS262) or the LUNA infant seats (PS53 each) to ensure your children are secure and comfortable.

If you're looking for a sleek and elegant pushchair that can be converted into a side-by-side double then 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 varying age groups and is easy to fold. It's also fairly light and therefore an ideal option for those who have small cars or only a little storage space.

Convertible

The best double buggy with car seat pushchairs or prams can be configured into different seats to meet your changing needs. You can accommodate up to three children on the seat board or two toddlers in the seats and still have enough space for a shopping bag. Accessories like rain covers are also available. Convertible double strollers are generally heavier and bulkier 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 a very inexpensive convertible that is very easy to use. However, our testers found it to be quite heavy for the money.

Some convertible double strollers like the Baby Jogger City Select 2, have a carrycot option which is suitable for babies. This reduces the size of the double stroller when not in use and makes it more compact. Our testers were impressed with the City Select's innovative one-handed fold, though it takes a bit of practice. It is also quite responsive and nimble in spite of its size.

The Cybex Mockingbird single-to-double stroller is another affordable option. The seat converts from a car seat with a parent seat to a forward-facing toddler seat, and the bassinet mode is a fantastic option for infants (although be aware that babies younger than four months old shouldn't be able to sleep in strollers due to the risk of positional asphyxia).

For greater flexibility, opt for a convertible with dual modes like the iCandy Peach. This is a narrow double buggy that can fit 2 children side by side, but it can also be used as a tandem by the addition of a second seat kit and rider board. It is responsive and nimble and our testers loved its sleek design. It's not as light as some of the other pushchairs in our list, but it offers an enormous shopping basket that is handy for parents carrying bags full of toys and groceries.

Lightweight

Some parents want to ensure the future of their double buggy if they have a child and are expecting another and a convertible model is an excellent choice. The iCandy Peach can be converted from a single pushchair a double with the addition of a toddler seat, or the brand's carrycot (which is ideal for overnight sleeping). The seats are very comfortable and our testers love the fact that they can recline in multiple positions. They also like the design of the canopy, which has a window that peeks out and offers UPF 50+ protection. The rear seat can also be lifted high to offer an elevated platform for the child to get off and on, to allow them to reach things in the shopping basket.

Cher stated that the only downside of the iCandy Peach was its weight. However, she felt that this was compensated for because it is easy to maneuver and offers plenty of storage space and cup holders for children and parents as well as seat-back pockets and a large basket under the seat. Cher also appreciated the fact that the seats are convertible, which means they can be set to face one another for siblings that want to talk and get together when out and out and about.

The Delta Children LX Side-by-Side Stroller is a less heavy option however, it is still awe-inspiring. It weighs just 18 pounds, is compact, and has an auto-standing fold, making it easy to carry around or put in your trunk. Parents are impressed by the quality of the materials and workmanship as well as the low price point. The only downside is that the seats don't recline as much as the other models we've tried and the back seat isn't very well-lit due to its position as it's higher than the front seat.

Another popular option is the Joolz Geo 3, which is slim sleek, stylish and easy to steer, and comes with an attractive design and a lifetime guarantee. Although they are smaller side-by-side prams may be more spacious than tandems and inline doubles. This can make them difficult to maneuver on busy footpaths and in shops. They are also smaller, making them easier to maneuver in tight spaces.
