Choosing a double pram and pushchair (Hondacityclub wrote in a blog post)

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 parents who are first-time parents choose a future proof pushchair that can be used as a single pram once bub is born and then changed into a twin pushchairs mode when the baby has arrived. Joolz offers a wide range of choices.

Tandem

The news that you're about to have to have a baby is among the most exciting moments in your life. After the excitement wears off and the reality of the situation kicks in, you will have to make a number of choices regarding how to prepare your family for. The best stroller or pram is among the most important things to consider.

Tandem prams (also called "in-line" double prams) are a classic design that feature two seats or pram bassinets that are arranged side by side. The front seat, which is typically cushioned, reclines and is suitable for newborns. The second seat is more upright and designed to accommodate toddlers as young as three years old. Certain models feature the option of reversible seating, which lets you decide if your children face towards each other or gaze at you. Many tandems can be converted into one pushchair once your oldest child is no longer in need of the second seat.

A tandem is cheaper than a twin pram and is an ideal choice for parents who want to save money, without compromising safety or functionality. However, one disadvantage of a tandem is that it may feel long and heavy to steer, especially when you're going up or down kerbs, and it is generally less stable than a twin pram particularly if the older child is seated in the front. A tandem can be difficult to fit onto public transport and is difficult to navigate on narrow pavements.

The iCandy Peach, a popular model that focuses on image, is a great option for parents with one child who want an elegant design. However, the tandem mode makes it feel a bit heavy and long to push. It has an innovative frame that expands in width to allow the addition of the second seat, and can be used with a variety of combinations of buggy seats, carrycots and car seats (two at once or separately). The iCandy Wave is another lightweight tandem option that is easy to use 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 pram or pushchair. If you're buying for twins or siblings who are close in age there are a variety of configuration options to consider. Tandem prams (also known as side by side prams) are a popular choice since they can be configured to accommodate infants with a bassinet on top, while the larger toddler or infant is in the seat below.

Some models come with convertible 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 in sight at all times and also gives them the chance to interact with one another as they walk.

Tandem prams are usually jogging or all-terrain buggies, which means they're ideal for outdoor adventures and the park. They are also great for narrow aisles and checkouts in shops and supermarkets as they are less bulky.

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

Another alternative is the Side by Side Pram from Babybee. This side-by-side double to single buggy pram is available in a variety of colors and features an attractive modern style. It is designed to be used from birth, you can add 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-by-side. It's available in a range of infant seat and carrycot combinations to cater for twins or siblings of various age groups and is easy to fold. It's also fairly light and therefore an ideal choice for families with smaller cars or a limited storage space.

Convertible

The best double prams and pushchairs are versatile, and some are even able to change into different seating arrangements to meet the changing needs of your family. You can fit up to three children on the seat board or two toddlers in the seats with enough space for shopping bags. Accessories such as rain covers are also available. In general, convertible double strollers are bigger and heavier than single pushchairs because they must be capable of holding two or more children. The Graco Modes Nest2Grow is one example of a convertible that is affordable that is user-friendly, but our testers thought it was a bit heavy for the money.

Some double strollers that can be converted into convertibles like the Baby Jogger City Select 2 come with a carrycot suitable for babies. This allows the double stroller to be compacted and reduced in size when it is not used. Our test participants were awestruck by the City Select's innovative one-handed fold, though it takes some time to master. It also feels quite nimble and agile, despite being larger than other double strollers.

The Cybex Mockingbird single-to-double stroller is another affordable option. It can be converted from a parent facing infant car seat to an forward-facing toddler seat. The bassinet-style mode is a great choice for infants.

To be more flexible, opt for a convertible that has dual modes like the iCandy Peach. It's a slim double stroller that can accommodate two children at the same time. It can be used to create a tandem by incorporating a second seat kit. It's responsive and agile, and our testers liked its sleek design. It's not as light as the other pushchairs on our list, but it offers an enormous shopping basket that is great for parents who carry bags of groceries and toys.

Lightweight

Convertible double strollers are an excellent option for parents who already have one child and are expecting another. The iCandy Peach allows you to transform from a single to a double pushchair, with the addition of a toddler seat or the brand's optional carrycot (which is suitable for sleep overs). Our testers noted the comfort of the seats and adore the fact that both recline to multiple positions, come with built-in foot and leg supports and generous UPF 50+ canopy that has peekaboo windows. The rear seat can be lifted high to offer a standing platform for a child to get off and on so they can access items in the shopping basket.

Cher said that the only downside of the iCandy Peach was its weight. But she felt this was offset by the fact that it is easy to move and comes with plenty of storage space with two cup holders for parents and children seats-back pockets, as well as an enormous basket underneath the seat. Cher also appreciated that the seats can be turned so that they face each other, which is perfect for siblings who love to talk and interact when they are out and about.

A lighter-weight but just as impressive option is the Delta Children LX side-by-side stroller that weighs only 18 pounds, is extremely compact and features a self-standing fold, making it easy to transport and put in your trunk or at home. Parents are impressed by the quality of the materials and craftsmanship as well as the affordable price. The only drawbacks are that the seats do not recline as well as other models we've tried and the rear seat is not as prominent because of its position as it is higher than the seat in front.
