Choosing a Double Pram and Pushchair

A good double pram or pushchair can simplify the lives of families, especially when walking on busy roads or in the shops and stores. Look for a model with ample storage space to store nappies, snacks, and other essentials.

Some parents who are first-time parents choose a future proof pushchair that can be used as a single pram when bub is born and then changed into a twin mode after the baby is born. Joolz offers a variety of these options.

Tandem

The announcement that you're expecting a child is among life's most exciting experiences. However, once the initial excitement wears off and reality sinks into your life, you'll be faced with a multitude of decisions about how to prepare your family for the arrival of your baby one or ones. One of the most important aspects to consider is choosing the best pram or pushchair.

Tandem prams (also called 'in-line' cheap double pushchair prams) are a classic design that feature two bassinets or seats for prams arranged side by side. The front seat, which is usually cushioned, reclines and is suitable for infants. The second seat is a bit higher and designed to accommodate toddlers as young as 3 years old. Some models have reversible seating so you can choose to have your children face one another or look at you. Many tandems also have the option of being converted 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 an excellent choice for parents who want to save money but not compromising on safety or convenience. However, one disadvantage of a tandem is that it can be heavy and long to steer especially when bumping up or down kerbs. It is usually less stable than a twin pram particularly if the older child is seated in the front. A tandem can also be tricky to transport on public transport and can be difficult to navigate on narrow roads.

The iCandy Peach, a popular model that focuses on image, is an excellent option for parents with one child who want a sleeker style. However the tandem mode makes it feel a bit heavy and long to push. It's got a frame that expands in size to accommodate a second seat. It can be used with a variety of car seats, buggy seats and carrycots (two at a time or separately). 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

There are many aspects to think about when selecting a double pushchair or pram. There are numerous configuration options available, whether you're purchasing for twins or close-in-age siblings. Tandem prams, referred to as side-by-side prams, are popular options because they can be set up in a way that the infant can be seated in the bassinet in the middle while the toddler or older child is seated in the second seat.

Some models have reversible seating which allow you to alter the layout of your family members throughout the toddler and baby years. This will allow you to keep your children always in your sights and also gives them the chance to interact with each other while they walk.

Tandem prams are often jogging buggies or all terrain double stroller; read this article,-terrain ones which makes them ideal for outdoor adventures and in the park. They're also a good option when you have to traverse 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 used in tandem mode from birth with the addition of a rumble seat. (PS249) Then, you can switch to the single mode once your baby grows out of the rumble seat or select the adaptors for car capsules (PS53) to turn it into a traveler from infant to toddler.

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 contemporary style. It is designed to be used from birth, you can also add the LUNA newborn Cocoon (PS262) and the LUNA Infant Seats (PS53 each).

If you're seeking a sleek, elegant pushchair that can convert into a side-by-side double and a side-by-side double, the Egg 2 from Chicco is an excellent choice. It's available in a range of carrycot and infant seat combinations to accommodate twins or siblings of varying ages and is super-easy to fold. It's also fairly light, making it a good option for people with smaller vehicles or have limited space to store.

Convertible

The top double prams and pushchairs are versatile and some are capable of changing seating configurations to meet your changing family needs. You can fit up to three children on the seat board or two toddlers in the seats, with room for shopping bags. Accessories such as rain covers are also available. Convertible double strollers tend to be heavier and larger than single pushchairs, as they are designed to accommodate two or more children. The Graco Modes Nest2Grow convertible is an example of a very affordable convertible that is simple to use. However, our testers thought it was quite heavy for its price.

Some convertible double strollers like the Baby Jogger City Select 2 include a carrycot 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 requires some time to master. It is also quite agile and responsive, despite its size.

Another affordable option is an affordable option is the Cybex Mockingbird Single-to-Double Stroller. It converts from a rear-facing infant car seat to a forward-facing toddler car seat and the bassinet-style mode is a great choice for infants (although remember that babies under 4 months old should not sleep in strollers because of the risk of asphyxia in a position).

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 and can be used as a tandem, with 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 as light as the other pushchairs on our list however it does come with an ample shopping basket that is handy for parents carrying bags of toys and food.

Lightweight

Convertible double strollers are a great option for parents who already have a child and expect another. The iCandy Peach allows you to convert from a single to a double pushchair, with the addition of an infant seat or the brand's carrycot (which is suitable for sleep overs). The seats are very comfortable and our test subjects love the fact that they can recline in various positions. They also like 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 on and off, so that they can reach things in the shopping basket.

The only issue with the iCandy Peach is that it is quite heavy. However, Cher felt it was balanced by the ease to maneuver and how large the storage is, with two hanging parent and child cup holders as well as seat-back pockets, and a large underseat storage basket. Cher also appreciated that the seats can be turned so that they face each other, which is ideal for siblings who like to talk and interact while out and out and about.

A lighter-weight but just as impressive option is the Delta Children LX side-by-side stroller that weighs just 18 lbs. It is compact and features an auto-standing fold that makes it easy to transport and store in your trunk or at home. Parents are impressed by the quality of the materials and workmanship and the price is low. The only issue is that the seats don't recline as much as some other models we've tried and the rear seat doesn't have great visibility due to its positioning as it's higher than the front seat.

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