Choosing a Double Pram and Pushchair

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

Some parents who are new to the world choose a future-proof pushchair which can be used as a single stroller once baby is born, and then changed to a twin mode after the baby arrives. Joolz offers a wide range of choices.

Tandem

The announcement that you're expecting the birth of a child is one of the most exciting events in life. However, after 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 baby one or ones. The right pram or stroller is among the most important things to consider.

Tandem prams, also known as "in-line" double prams, are a classic style with two bassinets or seats placed side-by-side. The front seat is typically padded and reclines to a flat position, making it suitable for newborns while the second one is more upright and can accommodate toddlers from around three years of age. Some models allow you to choose whether your children look at each other or face each other. Many tandems have the option to convert into a single pushchair if you decide that your oldest child no longer needs the second seat.

A tandem is cheaper than twin prams and is an excellent choice for parents who wish to save money, but without losing safety or function. However, a drawback of a tandem is that it can be a bit heavy and lengthy to steer especially when moving up and down kerbs. It is generally less stable than a twin pushchair, particularly if the older child is seated in the front. A tandem can be difficult to fit onto public transport, and it can be difficult to maneuver on narrow roads.

The iCandy Peach, a popular model that focuses on image, is an excellent option for a single parent who wants an elegant style. However, the tandem mode makes it feel long and heavy to push. It has an innovative frame that can be expanded to allow the addition of the second seat, and is compatible with many combinations of carrycots, buggy chairs and car seats (two at a time or in separate). The iCandy Wave tandem is another lightweight double pushchair option that's easy-to-use and compatible with a variety of car seats or carrycots.

Side by side

When it comes to choosing a double pushchair or pram, there's a lot to consider. If you're buying for twins or other siblings that are similar in age there are a variety of configuration options to take into account. Tandem prams (also called side by side prams) are a popular choice since they can be arranged to accommodate infants in a bassinet on top, while the older infant or toddler sits in the lower seat below.

Certain models come with reversible seats which allow you to alter the configuration for your family members throughout the infant and toddler years. This allows you to keep your children always in your sight and also gives them a chance to get to know each other while they walk.

Tandem prams can be jogging buggies, or all-terrain buggies. They are ideal for trips outdoors, such as to the park. They're also a good choice for those who have to navigate narrow supermarket isles or checkouts as they're generally more compact than single-seaters.

The Redsbaby JIVE3 Pram, for instance can be used as a tandem pram from birth in dual mode with the addition of the rumble seat (PS249). If your child gets bored of the rumble chair you can change to the single pram mode. You can also choose 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 another alternative. The double side-by-side pram is available in a variety of colors and is designed with a contemporary design. Designed to be used right from the moment of birth, you can include 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-byside double then the Egg 2 from Chicco is a great option. It's available in a variety of infant and carrycots to accommodate twins or siblings with different ages. It's also incredibly easy to fold. It is also relatively lightweight, making it a good choice for those who have small cars or limited space for storage.

Convertible

Some of the top double prams or pushchairs can be configured into different seats to meet your changing needs. You can accommodate up to three children on the seat board, or two toddlers in the seats, while still having room for a shopping bag. Accessories like rain covers are also available. Typically, convertible double strollers are larger and heavier than single pushchairs because they are required to be able to hold 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 somewhat heavy for its price.

Some convertible double strollers like the Baby Jogger City Select 2 come with a carrycot suitable for newborns. This allows the double stroller to be compacted and reduced in size when not being used. The City Select's clever folding system that is one-handed impressed our testers, but it takes some time to master. It's also extremely agile and responsive, despite its size.

Another affordable option is an option that is affordable is the Cybex Mockingbird Single-to-Double Stroller. The seat can be transformed from a parent facing infant car seat to an forward-facing toddler seat. The bassinet-style mode is a great choice for infants.

For greater flexibility, opt for a dual-mode convertible 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 incorporating a second seat kit. It is responsive and nimble and our test participants loved its sleek design. It's not as lightweight like some of the other models on our list, but it comes with a big basket that is useful for parents carrying bags filled with toys and other items.

Lightweight

Convertible double strollers are a great option for parents who have a child and expect to have another. The iCandy Peach can be converted from a single pushchair to double by the addition of a toddler's seat or the brand's carrycot (which is great to sleep at night). Our testers noted how comfortable the seats are and loved the fact that they both recline to multiple positions, have built-in foot and leg supports and large UPF 50+ canopies with peekaboo windows. 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 only downside of the iCandy Peach was its weight. However, she felt that this was compensated for because it's easy to move and comes with plenty of storage space and cup holders for parents and children as well as seat-back pockets and a large basket under the seat. Cher also appreciated that the seats can be reversed so that they can be positioned to face each other, which is ideal 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 only 18 pounds, is lightweight, and has a self standing fold, making it simple to transport or put in your trunk. Parents are impressed by the quality of materials and workmanship, and the low cost. The only downsides are that the seats do not recline as much compared to other models we've tried and the rear seat isn't as visible due to its location and height. It is higher than the front seat.

The Joolz Geo 3 is another popular choice. It is slim, sleek and easy to steer and comes with a lifetime warranty. It is important to remember that despite their narrower design Side by side prams are wider than tandem and in-line doubles. They may be difficult to navigate on busy streets or in shops. They are also shorter and therefore more maneuverable in tight spaces.
