Choosing a Double Pram and Pushchair

A good double pram or pushchair will simplify life for families, particularly on busy streets or in shops and stores. Look for a model with ample storage space to store nappies, snacks, and other essentials.

Some first-time parents choose a future-proof pushchair which can be used both as a single stroller once baby is born, and later changed to a twin mode after he or she arrives. Joolz provides a variety of these options.

Tandem

The announcement that you're expecting a child is among the most exciting events in life. After the excitement wears off and the reality of the situation kicks in, you will be faced with a variety of choices regarding how to prepare your family. One of the most important things to consider is choosing the right pram or pushchair.

Tandem prams, also referred as "in-line" double to single buggy - the full report, prams, are a classic style with two bassinets or chairs placed side-by-side. The front seat is typically cushioned and reclines to a flat angle, making it suitable for newborns, while the second seat is more upright and is able to accommodate toddlers from around three years old. Some models allow you to select whether your children stare at each other or face each other. Many tandems also have the option of converting into a single pushchair in the event that you decide that your child's oldest does not require the second seat.

A tandem is cheaper than a twin pram and is an excellent choice for parents looking to save money without compromising safety or functionality. However, one disadvantage of a tandem is that it may be a bit heavy and lengthy to steer, especially when you're moving up and down kerbs. It is often less stable than a twin pram particularly if the older child is seated at the front. A tandem isn't always easy to fit 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 singleton parent who is looking for something that is sleek however, the tandem mode can make it feel long and heavy when pushing. It's got a frame that expands in size to accommodate a second seat. It can be used with a range of combinations of car seats, buggy seats, and carrycots (two at a time or separately). The iCandy Wave tandem is another lightweight option that's user-friendly and compatible with a variety of car seats and carrycots.

Side by side

There are a lot of things to think about when selecting a double pushchair or pram. Whether you're buying for twins or other siblings that are similar in age, there are a number of configuration choices to think about. Tandem prams, also referred to as side-by-side prams, are popular choices because they can be set up so that the infant is able to sit in the bassinet in the middle while the older child or toddler is seated in the second seat.

Certain models come with reversible seats which allow you to alter the seating arrangement for your family throughout the baby and toddler years. This will allow you to keep your kids always in your sight and also gives them the chance to interact with one another as they walk.

tandem double buggy prams can be jogging buggies or all-terrain buggies. They are great for trips outdoors, such as to the park. They're also a good option when you have to traverse narrow supermarket isles or checkouts because they tend to be more compact than single-seaters.

The Redsbaby JIVE3 pram, for example can be utilized in tandem mode from birth, with the addition of a rumble seat. (PS249) Then, you can switch to the single 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 for infant to toddler.

Another option is the Side by Side Pram from Babybee. This double side-byside 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 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 transformed into a double side-byside. It's available in a variety of infant and carrycot combinations to cater for twins or siblings of varying age groups and is easy to fold. It's also lightweight, making it a good option for people with small cars or limited space for storage.

Convertible

Some of the best double pushchairs or prams can be made into various seats to meet your needs as they change. You can fit two toddlers in the seats or a third rider on the seat board and still have space for a shopping basket, and the capability to add additional accessories such as rain covers is a plus. Most convertible double strollers are more spacious and heavier than single pushchairs due to the fact that they have to be able to accommodate two or more children. The Graco Modes Nest2Grow convertible is an example of an affordable convertible that is simple to use. However, our test participants found it to be a bit heavy for the money.

Some convertible double strollers like the Baby Jogger City Select 2, have a carrycot option which is suitable for newborns. This allows the double stroller to be folded down and reduced in size when not used. Our test participants were awestruck by the City Select's unique one-handed fold, although it does take a bit of practice. It also feels quite nimble and agile, despite being larger than other double strollers.

The Cybex Mockingbird single-to-double stroller is an alternative that is affordable. The seat converts from a rear-facing infant car seat to a forward-facing toddler car seat, and the bassinet mode is a great option for infants (although remember that babies under 4 months old should never sleep in strollers because of the risk of positional asphyxia).

If you want more flexibility, consider a dual-mode convertible such as the iCandy Peach. It's a slim double stroller that can accommodate two children side-by-side. It can also be used to make a tandem by incorporating a second seat kit. It feels agile and responsive, and our testers liked 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 groceries and toys.

Lightweight

Some parents prefer to secure their double buggy when 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 double by the addition of a toddler seat or the brand's carrycot (which is ideal for sleeping at night). Our test subjects were impressed by how comfortable the seats are and adore the fact that they both recline to different positions, feature built-in leg and foot supports and large UPF 50+ canopy that has peekaboo windows. The rear seat can also be raised to provide a standing platform for the child to get off and on so that they can reach items in the shopping basket.

The only issue with the iCandy Peach is that it is quite heavy, but Cher felt this was offset by its ease to manoeuvre and how spacious the storage space is equipped with two hanging parent and child cup holders as well as seat-back pockets, and an enormous underseat basket. She also liked the fact that the seats are reversible, so they can be set to face each other for siblings who want to chat and interact together when out and out and about.

The Delta Children LX Side-by-Side Stroller is a lighter option, but still impressive. It weighs only 18 pounds, is lightweight, and has an auto-standing fold, making it simple to transport or store in your trunk. Parents are impressed by the quality of materials and workmanship, and the low price. The only issue is that the seats don't recline as much as the other models we've tested, and the rear seat isn't very well-lit due to its positioning that is higher than the front seats.

The Joolz Geo 3 is another popular choice. It's slim, sleek, and easy to steer and comes with a lifetime guarantee. While they're smaller than side-by-side strollers, they can be more spacious than tandems and inline doubles. This can make them difficult to maneuver around busy footpaths and in shops. However, they're usually shorter, which means they can be easier to turn in tight spaces than tandems.
