Choosing a Double Pram and Pushchair

A double pram can make life easier for families, particularly in busy shops or on busy streets. Find a model that has ample storage space for nappies, snacks and other essentials.

Some parents who are first-time parents choose an infant pushchair that can be used as a single stroller when baby is born, and later changed into a twin mode when the baby is old enough. Joolz offers a range of these options.

Tandem

The news that you're about to have a baby is one of the most exciting moments in life. After the excitement wears off and the reality of the situation sets in, you will be faced with a variety of decisions regarding how to prepare your family. One of the most important things to consider is choosing the right pram or pushchair.

Tandem prams (also known as 'in-line' double prams) are a classic style that have two seats or pram bassinets that are arranged side by side. The front seat is typically padded and reclines to a flat position, making it suitable for infants while the second one is more upright and can accommodate toddlers as young as three years old. of age. Some models let you select whether your children stare at each other or look outwards. Many tandems also have the option of being converted into a single pushchair in the event that you decide your oldest child does not require the second seat.

In terms of price, a tandem is much cheaper than a twin pushchair, and is a great option for parents looking to save money but not compromising on safety or convenience. However, a drawback of a tandem is that it can be heavy and long to steer, particularly when moving up and down kerbs. Additionally, it is often less stable than a twin pushchair, particularly if the older child is seated in the front. A tandem can be difficult to place on public transport, and it can be difficult to navigate narrow pavements.

The iCandy Peach is a popular model with a strong image that's a great choice for a singleton parent who is looking for something that is sleek, but the tandem mode can make it feel long and heavy when pushing. It has a frame that expands in size to accommodate a second seat. It can be used with a range of combinations of car seats, buggy seats, and carrycots (two at one time or in separate). The iCandy Wave is another lightweight tandem option that's easy to use and compatible with a variety of carrycots and car seats.

Side by side

When it comes to choosing a double pushchair or pram there's a lot to consider. There are numerous configuration options to choose from, regardless of whether you're buying for twins or close-in-age siblings. Tandem prams, also known as side-by-side prams, are popular choices because they can be configured so that the infant is able to sit in the bassinet on top while the older child or toddler is sitting in the second chair.

Some models have reversible seats that allow you to customize the configuration for your family throughout the baby and toddler years. This will allow you to keep your children in sight at all times and also gives them the chance to get to know each other as they stroll.

Tandem prams can be jogging buggies, or all-terrain buggies. They are perfect for outdoor excursions, like to the park. They're also ideal for narrow aisles or checkouts in shops and supermarkets as they are more compact.

The Redsbaby JIVE3 pram, for example can be utilized in tandem mode from birth, but with the addition of an Rumble seat. (PS249) It is then possible to change to a single pram mode once your baby is old enough to leave the rumble seat or select the adaptors for car capsules (PS53) to turn it into a travel system for newborn to toddler.

Another option is the Side by Side Pram from Babybee. This double side-by-side pram comes in a variety of colours and is designed with a modern design. Designed to be used right from birth, you can add the LUNA newborn Cocoon (PS262) and the LUNA Infant Seats (PS53 each).

If you're looking for a sleek, elegant pushchair that can be converted into a double-sided side-by-side and a side-by-side double, the Egg 2 from Chicco is a great option. It's available in a range of infant and carrycot configurations to accommodate twins or siblings of different age groups and is easy to fold. It's also fairly light making it a great choice for those with smaller cars or a limited storage space.

Convertible

The best double pushchair with car seat prams or pushchairs can be configured into different seats to accommodate your changing needs. You can fit two toddlers in seats or a third rider on the seat board and have room for a shopping basket and the ability to add accessories like rain covers is a advantage. Convertible double strollers are generally larger and heavier 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 reviewers found it to be somewhat heavy for the money.

Some double buggy converts to single strollers that can be converted into convertibles like the Baby Jogger City Select 2 include a carrycot suitable for newborns. This helps to reduce the size of the double stroller when not being used and makes it more compact. Our testers were impressed with the City Select's clever one-handed fold, though it requires some time to master. It's also very nimble and responsive, despite it being bigger than other double strollers.

The Cybex Mockingbird single-to-double stroller is an alternative that is affordable. It converts from a car seat with a parent seat to a forward-facing toddler seat and the bassinet-style mode is a great choice for infants (although keep in mind that infants under 4 months old should never sleep in strollers because of the danger of asphyxia from position).

If you're looking for more flexibility look into a convertible with dual modes such as the iCandy Peach. It's a compact double buggy that can hold two children side-by-side and can be used as a tandem by the addition of a second seat kit and rider board. It's responsive and agile and our testers loved its sleek design. It's not quite as lightweight as some of the other models on our list, however it does come with a huge basket that's great for parents carrying bags of toys and groceries.

Lightweight

Some parents prefer to secure their double buggy if they have one child and are expecting another so a convertible option is a great option. The iCandy Peach allows you to transform from a single to a double pushchair by the addition of an infant seat or the brand's optional carrycot (which is suitable for sleeping at night). The seats are very comfortable and our testers appreciate that they can recline in a variety of positions. They also like the fact that the canopy has an open window that can be seen from afar and has UPF 50+ protection. The rear seat can also be elevated to provide a an elevated platform for a child to climb off and on to allow them to reach things in the shopping basket.

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

A lighter and equally impressive choice is the Delta Children LX side-by-side stroller, which weighs only 18 pounds, is extremely compact double stroller and features an auto-standing fold that makes it easy to transport and store in your trunk or at home. Parents appreciate the high-quality materials and workmanship, and the price. The only drawback is that the seats don't recline as much as other models we've tried and the rear seat isn't very well-lit due to its positioning as it's higher than the front seat.

Another popular choice is the Joolz Geo 3, which is slim and sleek. It is also easy to steer, with an attractive design and lifetime guarantee. It's worth bearing in mind that despite their narrower design Side by side prams are still wider than tandem and in-line doubles and can be difficult to navigate through crowded footpaths or in shops. However, they're generally shorter too, so can be more maneuverable in tight spaces than tandems.
