Choosing a Double Pram and Pushchair

A double pram can make life easier for families, particularly in bustling shopping centers or on busy streets. Choose a model that has ample storage space to store nappies as well as snacks and other necessities.

Some first-time parents opt for a future-proof pushchair that can be used as a single pram when baby is born, and later changed into a twin mode when the baby is old enough. Joolz offers a range of options.

Tandem

The announcement that you're expecting a baby is one of the most exciting moments in life. However, once the initial excitement wears off and reality sinks into your life, you'll be faced with a multitude of choices regarding how to prepare your family for the arrival of your new one or one. The best stroller or pram is among the most important things to consider.

Tandem prams, also referred to as "in-line" double prams, are a classic design that has two bassinets or seats placed side-by-side. The front seat, which is typically cushioned, reclines and is suitable for infants. The second seat is more upright and is designed to accommodate toddlers as young as three years. Some models let you select whether your children stare at each other or outwards. A lot of tandems offer the option to convert 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 can be an excellent choice for parents looking to save money without compromising safety or functionality. A tandem can be heavy and difficult to steer, particularly when bumping over kerbs. It is also less stable than twin pushchairs, especially if an older child is in the front. A tandem can also be difficult to transport on public transport, and it can be difficult to maneuver on narrow roads.

The iCandy Peach is a popular model that is a good choice for a singleton parent looking for a sleeker design however the tandem mode can make it feel long and heavy when pushing. It has frames that can be expanded in dimensions to accommodate the second seat. It can be used with a variety of buggy seats, car seats and carrycots (two at one time or in separate). The iCandy Wave tandem is another lightweight option that's easy-to-use and compatible with a variety of car seats or carrycots.

Side by side

There are many things to think about when selecting a double buggy pushchair or pram. If you're buying for twins or siblings who are close in age, there are a number of configuration choices to think about. Tandem prams (also called side by side prams) are a popular choice because they can be configured to fit infants in a bassinet on the top while the older toddler or infant is in the seat below.

Some models even feature reversible seats, which means you can alter the seating arrangement to meet the needs of your family throughout the baby and toddler years. This lets you see your children at all times and gives them the chance to connect with them while they walk.

Tandem prams are typically jogging buggies or all-terrain ones that is why they're great for outdoor adventures and in the park. These are also good for narrow aisles and checkouts in supermarkets and shops as they are less bulky.

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). Then, you can switch to the single mode once your baby grows out of the rumble seat, or use the adaptors for car capsules (PS53) to transform it into a travel system 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 colors and is designed with a contemporary style. It is designed to be used right from birth, you can also add the LUNA newborn cocoon (PS262) or the LUNA infant seats (PS53 each) to ensure your baby is secure and comfortable.

The Egg 2 is a stylish, sleek pushchair that is able to be converted into a double side by side. It's available in a variety of infant seat and carrycot combinations to cater for twins or siblings of varying ages and is super-easy to fold. It's also light and compact double buggy, making it a great option for people with smaller vehicles or have limited space for storage.

Convertible

The best double prams and pushchairs are versatile, and some are even capable of changing seat configurations to suit your changing family needs. You can accommodate up to three children on the seat board or two toddlers in the seats and still have enough space to carry shopping bags. Accessories like rain covers are also available. Convertible double strollers are generally heavier and bulkier than single pushchairs, as they have to hold two or more children. The Graco Modes Nest2Grow is one instance of a low-cost convertible that is extremely easy to use, although our test subjects felt it was a little heavy for the price.

Some convertible double strollers like the Baby Jogger City Select 2 has a carrycot option that is suitable for infants. This helps to reduce the size of the double stroller when not in use, and makes it smaller. Our testers were impressed with the City Select's innovative one-handed fold. However, it takes some time to master. It also feels quite nimble and responsive, despite being bigger than double strollers.

Another option that is affordable is an option that is affordable is the Cybex Mockingbird Single-to-Double Stroller. It converts from a parent-facing infant car seat to a forward-facing toddler seat and the bassinet option is a great choice for infants (although be aware that babies younger than four months old shouldn't be able to sleep in strollers due to the danger of asphyxia from position).

For more flexibility, look for a convertible with dual modes like the iCandy Peach. It's a slim double stroller that can hold two children at the same time. It can also be used to create a tandem by incorporating a second seat kit. It feels agile and responsive, and our test users liked its sleek design. It's not as light as the other pushchairs we've reviewed however, it comes with an enormous shopping basket that is great for parents who carry bags full of toys and groceries.

Lightweight

Some parents want to ensure the future of their double pushchair if 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 to a double with the addition of a toddler seat or the brand's carrycot (which is great to sleep at night). The seats are extremely comfortable and our testers love the fact that they can recline in a variety of positions. They also appreciate the feature that the canopy comes with a peekaboo window and UPF 50+ protection. The rear seat can also be raised to provide a standing platform for the older child to climb on and off, to allow them to reach things in the basket of groceries.

The only drawback of the iCandy Peach is that it is quite heavy, however Cher felt this was offset by the ease to manoeuvre and how spacious the storage area is equipped with two hanging parent and child cup holders with seat-back pockets as well as a large underseat basket. Cher also appreciated the fact that the seats are reversible, so they can be positioned to face each other for siblings that want to talk and interact when out and about.

A lighter, but equally impressive choice is the Delta Children LX side-by-side stroller, which weighs only 18 lbs. It is compact and features a self-standing fold, making it easy to transport and store in your trunk or at home. Parents appreciate the quality of the materials and workmanship and the price is low. The only drawback is that the seats don't recline as much as some other models we've examined, and the rear seat isn't as well-lit due to its positioning - it's raised 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 guarantee. It's worth bearing in mind that, despite their smaller size, side by side prams remain more spacious than tandem and in-line doubles. They can be difficult to navigate on crowded footpaths or in shops. They're also shorter and therefore more maneuverable in tight spaces.
