Choosing a Double Pram and Pushchair

A double pram can simplify the lives of families, particularly in busy shopping centers or on busy streets. Choose a model that has plenty of storage space to store nappies as well as snacks and other necessities.

Some first-time parents opt for a future proof pushchair that can be used as a single stroller when bub is born and then converted into a twin mode when the baby has arrived. Joolz offers a range of these options.

Tandem

The news that you're expecting the birth of a child is one of the most exciting times in your life. But, once the excitement fades and reality begins to sink in, you could be faced with a multitude of choices regarding how to prepare your family for the arrival of your little one or one. One of the most important things to consider is choosing the best pram or pushchair.

Tandem prams, also referred to as "in-line" double prams are a classic style with two seats or bassinets placed side by side. The front seat is typically padded and reclines to a flat angle, making it suitable for newborns while the second one is more upright and is able to accommodate toddlers from around three years of age. Certain models let you decide if your children will look at each other or look outwards. Many tandems also have the option of converting into a single pushchair in the event that you decide your oldest child does not require the second seat.

In terms of cost it is cheaper than a twin pushchair and is a great option for parents who want to save money, but not compromise on safety or convenience. A tandem can be a bit heavy and difficult to steer, particularly when you're tripping over the kerbs. It is also less stable than twin pushchairs, especially if an older child is riding in the front. A tandem can be difficult to fit on public transport, and it may be difficult to maneuver narrow pavements.

The iCandy Peach, a popular model that is focused on image, is an excellent alternative for a single parent who wants an elegant design. However, the tandem mode makes it feel a bit heavy and long to push. It features a clever frame that can be expanded to allow for the addition of the second seat, and it can be used with multiple combinations of carrycots, buggy chairs and car seats (two at once or separately). 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

There are many aspects to take into consideration when selecting a double pram or pushchair. There are many configuration options available, whether you're purchasing for twins or close-in-age siblings. Tandem prams, also referred to as side-by-side prams, are a popular options because they can be configured so that the infant can be seated in the bassinet in the middle while the older child or toddler is sitting in the second chair.

Some models even have convertible seats, which means you can modify the seating to your family's requirements throughout the baby and toddler years. This lets you be able to watch your children at all times, and allows them to be a part of the journey while they walk.

Tandem prams are usually jogging or all-terrain buggies, which means they're ideal for outdoor adventures and in the park. These are also good for narrow aisles and checkouts in shops and supermarkets, as they are less bulky.

The Redsbaby JIVE3 Pram, for example, can be used as a tandem pram starting from birth in the dual mode with the addition of the rumble seat (PS249). When your child grows out of the rumble seat, you can switch to a single pram mode. You can also opt to make use of the car capsule adaptors to convert it from a newborn into a toddler travel system.

The Side by Side Pram from Babybee is a different option. This double side-by-side pram comes in a range of colors and is designed with a contemporary design. Designed to be used right from the moment of birth, you can choose to add the LUNA newborn cocoon (PS262) or the LUNA infant seats (PS53 each) to ensure that your children are safe and comfy.

The Egg 2 is a stylish, sleek pushchair that can be converted into a double side by side. It is available in a variety of infant and carrycots to accommodate twins or siblings of different age groups. It's also easy to collapse. It's also relatively lightweight and therefore an ideal choice for families with small cars or limited storage space.

Convertible

The top double buggy that converts to single prams and pushchairs can be used in a variety of ways, and some are even capable of changing seating arrangements to meet your changing family needs. You can fit two toddlers in seats or a third rider on the seat board and have space for a basket to store your shopping, and the option to add additional accessories such as rain covers is also a plus. Typically, 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 is one instance of a low-cost convertible that is extremely easy to use, although our testers thought it was a little heavy for the money.

Some convertible double strollers like the Baby Jogger City Select 2 include a carrycot suitable for babies. This helps to reduce the size of the double stroller when not in use and makes it smaller. Our test participants were awestruck by the City Select's innovative one-handed fold, though it requires some practice. It is also quite fluid and agile in spite of its size.

Another affordable option is the Cybex Mockingbird Single-to-Double Stroller. The seat converts from a parent-facing infant car seat to a forward-facing toddler car seat and the bassinet option is a great choice for infants (although remember that babies under four months old shouldn't use strollers to sleep due to the danger of asphyxia from position).

If you're looking for more flexibility look into a convertible with dual modes like the iCandy Peach. It's a compact double stroller that can accommodate two children in a tandem. It can be used to create a tandem by adding a second seat kit. It feels nimble and responsive, and our test users were impressed by its sleek design. It's not as light as some of the other pushchairs in our list however it does come with an ample shopping basket that is handy for parents carrying bags of toys and groceries.

lightweight twin stroller

Some parents like to future-proof their double buggy if 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's seat or the brand's carrycot (which is great for sleeping at night). The seats are extremely comfortable and our testers love the fact that they can recline in a variety of positions. They also appreciate the fact that the canopy has a peekaboo window and UPF 50+ protection. The rear seat can be raised high so that the older child can stand on it to reach the shopping basket.

Cher said that the one disadvantage of the iCandy Peach was its weight. However, she believed that this was compensated for because it's easy to move and offers plenty of storage space with two cup holders for parents and children as well as seat-back pockets and a large basket underneath the seat. She also liked the fact that the seats are adjustable, meaning they can be placed to face each other for siblings who want to talk and interact while out and out and about.

The Delta Children LX Side-by-Side Stroller is a smaller model however, it is still awe-inspiring. It weighs just 18 pounds, is lightweight, and has self-standing fold, making it easy to carry around or put in your trunk. Parents love the quality of materials and workmanship, as well as the low price. The only drawback is that the seats don't recline as far as other models we've tested, and the rear seat isn't as well-lit due to its position as it's higher than the front seat.

The Joolz Geo 3 is another popular choice. It's slim, sleek, and easy to steer and comes with a lifetime warranty. Although they are smaller than side-by-side strollers double, they can be wider than tandems and inline doubles. This can make them difficult to maneuver on busy streets and in shops. They're also shorter which makes them easier to maneuver in tight spaces.
