Choosing a Double Pram and Pushchair

A double pram or pushchair can simplify family life, especially on busy streets or in stores and shops. Choose a model that has plenty of storage space to store nappies snacks, nappies, and other necessities.

Some first-time parents choose a future-proof pushchair which can be used as a single stroller when baby is born, and transformed into 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 moments in life. However, once the initial excitement wears off and the reality sets into your life, you'll be faced with a myriad 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 best pram or pushchair.

Tandem prams, also referred as "in-line" double prams, are a classic design that has two bassinets or seats placed side by side. The front seat, which is usually cushioned, reclines and is suitable for infants. The second seat is more upright and designed to fit toddlers as young as 3 years old. Some models allow you to select whether your children stare at each other or look outwards. Many tandems can be made into one pushchair once your oldest child is no longer using the second seat.

In terms of price the tandem is cheaper than a twin pushchair, and is a great option for parents who want to save money, but not compromise on safety or functionality. A tandem can be a bit heavy and difficult to steer, particularly when you're tripping over curbs. It is also less stable than twin pushchairs especially when a bigger child is 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, a popular model that focuses on image, is a great option for parents who are single and want an attractive appearance. However the tandem mode can make it feel a bit heavy and long to push. It's got 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 simultaneously or separately). The iCandy Wave is another lightweight double buggy tandem option that's simple to use and compatible with a range of carrycots and car seats.

Side by side

When it comes to choosing a double pram or pushchair there's plenty to think about. There are a variety of configuration options to choose from, whether you're purchasing for twins or close-in-age siblings. Tandem prams (also called side by sides prams) are a popular choice since they can be arranged to fit infants in a bassinet at the top, while the larger toddler or infant is in the seat below.

Some models even have reversible seats, which means you can modify the seating to your family's requirements throughout the baby and toddler years. This lets you keep your children always in your sight and also gives them a an opportunity to interact with each other as they stroll.

Tandem prams are typically jogging buggies or all-terrain ones, which means they're ideal for outdoor adventures and the park. They're also a great option for those who have to navigate narrow aisles in the supermarket or at checkouts, as they tend to be smaller than single-seaters.

The Redsbaby JIVE3 pram, for example can be utilized in tandem mode from birth, but with the addition of a rumble seat. (PS249) When your child grows out of the rumble seat, you can change to one pram mode. You can also choose to use the car capsule adaptors to transform it from a newborn to a toddler travel system.

Another option is the Side by Side Pram from Babybee. The double side-by-side pram is available in a variety of colours and is designed with a modern design. The design is intended ready to grow double stroller be used from birth, you can add the LUNA newborn cocoon (PS262) or the LUNA infant seats (PS53 each) to ensure your baby is secure and comfortable.

If you're looking for a sleek, elegant pushchair that can convert into a side-by-side double then the Egg 2 from Chicco is an excellent choice. It is available in a variety of infant and carrycots to accommodate twins or siblings with different age ranges. It's also incredibly easy to collapse. It's also quite light, which makes it an ideal choice for families with smaller cars or a limited storage space.

Convertible

The best double prams or pushchairs are configured into different seats to meet your needs as they change. You can fit up to three children on the seat board or two toddlers in the seats while still having room for a shopping bag. Accessories such as rain covers are also available. Convertible double strollers are generally heavier and larger than single pushchairs because they have to hold two or more children. The Graco Modes Nest2Grow is one instance of a low-cost convertible that is easy to use, although our testers felt that it was a bit heavy for the price.

Some convertible double strollers, like the Baby Jogger City Select 2 has a carrycot option which is suitable for babies. This helps to reduce the size of the double stroller when it is not in use and makes it smaller. The City Select's clever folding system that is one-handed impressed our test participants but it does require some time to master. It's also extremely fluid and agile, despite its size.

The Cybex Mockingbird single-to-double stroller is another affordable option. The seat converts from a parent-facing infant car seat to a forward-facing toddler seat and the bassinet option is a fantastic option for infants (although keep in mind that infants under 4 months old should not sleep in strollers because of the risk of asphyxia in a position).

For more flexibility, look for a dual-mode convertible like the iCandy Peach. This is a narrow double stroller that can hold two children side-by-side. It can also be used to make a tandem by adding a second seating kit. It's nimble and responsive, and our testers liked its sleek design. It's not quite as lightweight as some of the other models on our list but it comes with a big basket that's great for parents who are carrying bags of toys and groceries.

Lightweight

Some parents want to ensure the future of their double buggy that converts to single buggy when they have one child and are expecting another and a convertible model is a great option. The iCandy Peach allows you to convert from a single to a double pushchair, with the addition of a toddler seat or the brand's optional carrycot (which is suitable for sleeping at night). Our testers noted how comfortable the seats are and love the fact that they both recline to different positions, come with built-in leg and foot support and generous UPF 50+ canopies with windows that peek out. The rear seat can be raised high so that the child who is older can stand on it to reach the shopping basket.

Cher said that the only downside of the iCandy Peach was its weight. However, she felt this was offset because it is easy to maneuver and has plenty of storage with two cup holders for parents and children as well as seat-back pockets and a large basket underneath the seat. Cher also loved that seats can be flipped so that they face each other. This is perfect for siblings who love to interact and talk when they are 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 store in your trunk. Parents love the quality of the materials and workmanship as well as the price is low. The only drawbacks are that the seats do not recline as much compared to other models we've tried and the rear seat isn't as prominent because of its position - it is raised higher than the front seat.

The Joolz Geo 3 is another popular choice. It's slim, sleek, easy to steer and comes with a lifetime warranty. It's important to keep in mind that despite their narrower design Side by side prams remain larger than tandems and in-line doubles. They can be tricky to navigate on busy streets or in shops. However, they're generally shorter, which means they can be easier to turn in tight spaces than tandems.
