Choosing a Double Pram and Pushchair

A double pram can simplify the lives of families, particularly in bustling shopping centers or on busy streets. Choose a model with generous storage space for stowing nappies, snacks, and other essentials.

Some first-time parents opt for an infant pushchair that can be used as a single pram once bub is born and then transformed into a twin-mode after the baby is old enough. Joolz offers a range of these options.

Tandem

The announcement that you are expecting a child is among the most exciting events in life. But, once the excitement fades and reality begins to sink in, you could be faced with a multitude of decisions regarding how to prepare your family for the arrival of your baby one or one. One of the most important aspects to consider is choosing the correct pram or pushchair.

Tandem prams (also known as "in-line" double prams) are a timeless design that have two seats or pram bassinets that are arranged side by side. The front seat, which is usually cushioned, reclines and is suitable for newborns. The second seat is upright and designed to fit toddlers as young as three years. Some models have seats that can be reversible, so you can choose to have your children face towards each other or gaze at you. Many tandems have the option of being converted into a single pushchair in the event that you decide that your child's oldest does not require the second seat.

In terms of cost it is cheaper than a twin pushchair and can be an excellent choice for parents looking to save money without compromising on safety or convenience. A tandem can be heavy and difficult to steer, particularly when you're tripping over curbs. It is also less stable than twin pushchairs, especially if an older child is in the front. A tandem can also be difficult to fit onto public transport, and it can be difficult to maneuver on narrow roads.

The iCandy Peach, a popular model with a focus on image, is a great choice for a single parent who wants an attractive appearance. However the tandem mode can make it feel long and heavy to push. It comes with a clever frame that expands widthways to allow for the addition of the second seat, and it can be used with a variety of combinations of buggy seats, carrycots and car seats (two at a time or in separate). The iCandy Wave is another lightweight tandem option that's simple to use and compatible with a variety of car seats and carrycots.

Side by side

When it comes time to choose a double pushchair or pram, there's a lot to consider. There are many configuration options to choose from, whether you're purchasing for twins or close-in-age siblings. Tandem prams, also known as side-by-side prams, are a popular choices due to the fact that they can be set up so that the infant can sit in the bassinet on top while the toddler or older child is seated in the second seat.

Some models have reversible seats which allow you to alter the layout of your family during the toddler and baby years. This allows you to see your children at all times and gives them the chance to interact while they walk.

Tandem prams are usually jogging buggies or all-terrain ones, which means they're ideal for outdoor adventures and in the park. They're also a great option if you need to brave narrow aisles in the supermarket or at checkouts, as they tend to be more compact than single-seaters.

The Redsbaby JIVE3 Pram, for example, can be used as a tandem pram right from birth in the dual mode by adding the use of the rumble seat (PS249). You can then change to a single pram mode once your baby is old enough to leave the rumble seat or select the car capsule adaptors (PS53) to turn it into a travel system for newborn to toddler.

The Side by Side Pram by Babybee is a different option. The double side-by-side pram is available in a range of colors and is designed with a contemporary design. It is designed to be used from the moment of 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 convert into a double-sided side-by-side then the Egg 2 from Chicco is an excellent choice. It's available in a variety of infant seat and carrycot combinations to accommodate twins or siblings of varying ages and is super-easy to fold. It's also fairly lightweight and compact, making it a great choice for those who have smaller vehicles or have limited space to store.

Convertible

The top double prams and Pushchairs And Prams can be used in a variety of ways, and some are even able to change into different seat configurations to suit your changing family needs. It is possible to fit two toddlers in the seats or a third child on the seat board and still have enough space for a shopping basket, and the capability to add additional accessories such as rain covers is also a benefit. 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 convertible is an example of an inexpensive convertible that is very easy to use. However, our test participants thought it was somewhat heavy for the price.

Some convertible double strollers like the Baby Jogger City Select 2 comes with a carrycot that is suitable for infants. This helps to reduce the size of the double stroller when it is not being used and makes it smaller. The City Select's clever single-handed folding impressed our testers however it requires some time to master. It is also quite responsive and nimble, despite its size.

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 seat and the bassinet option is a great option for infants (although remember that babies under 4 months old should never use strollers to sleep due to the risk of asphyxia in a position).

To be more flexible, opt for a convertible with dual modes such as the iCandy Peach. This is a narrow double buggy which can accommodate 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 nimble and responsive and our test participants loved its sleek design. It's not quite as lightweight as some of the other models we've reviewed, but it comes with a big basket that is useful for parents who have to carry bags full of toys and other items.

Lightweight

Convertible double strollers are a great option for parents who have one child and are expecting to have another. The iCandy Peach can be converted from a single pushchair into double by the addition of a toddler seat or the brand's carrycot (which is great for sleeping at night). The seats are extremely comfortable and our testers appreciate the fact that they can recline in a variety of positions. They also appreciate the design of the canopy, which has an open window that can be seen from afar and has UPF 50+ protection. The rear seat can also be lifted high to offer an elevated platform for the older child to climb off and on, to allow them to access items in the shopping basket.

Cher said that the only disadvantage of the iCandy Peach was its weight. But she felt this was offset because it's easy to move and has plenty of storage with two cup holders for parents and their children, seat-back pockets, and a large basket underneath the seat. Cher also appreciated the fact that the seats are adjustable, meaning they can be set to face each other for siblings who want to talk and interact when out and about.

The Delta Children LX Side-by-Side Stroller is a less heavy option, but still impressive. It weighs just 18 pounds, is compact and features self-standing fold, making it simple to transport or store in your trunk. Parents are impressed by the quality of the materials and workmanship as well as the affordable price. The only drawback is that the seats don't recline as much as some other models we've tried and the back seat isn't as well-lit due to its positioning that is higher than the front seats.

Another popular option is the Joolz Geo 3, which is slim and sleek. It is also easy to steer, with an appealing design and a lifetime guarantee. While they're smaller than side-by-side strollers, they can be wider than tandems and inline doubles. This makes them difficult to maneuver around busy footpaths and in shops. However, they're generally shorter, which means they are easier to maneuver in tight spaces than tandems.
