Choosing a Double Pram and Pushchair

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

Some parents who are first-time parents opt for a future-proof pushchair that can be used both as a single stroller when baby is born, and later changed to a twin mode after he or she arrives. Joolz provides a variety of these options.

Tandem

The news that you're expecting to have a baby is among the most exciting times in life. However, after the excitement of the beginning fades and reality sinks into your life, you'll be faced with a myriad of decisions about how to prepare your family for the arrival of your baby one or ones. One of the most important things to consider is choosing the best pram or pushchair twin.

Tandem prams (also called "in-line" double prams) are a classic style that feature two seats or pram bassinets that are arranged side-by-side. The front seat is typically covered in padding and reclines to a flat position, making it suitable for infants while the second one is more upright and can be used by toddlers up to three years old. older. Certain models feature the option of reversible seating, which lets you decide if your children face each other or look out at you. Many tandems can be converted to one pushchair when your oldest child is no longer in need of the second seat.

In terms of cost the tandem is cheaper than a twin stroller pushchair, and can be a great choice for parents looking to save money, but not compromise on safety or function. However, a drawback of a tandem is that it could be a bit heavy and lengthy to steer, particularly when bumping up or down kerbs. It is usually less stable than a twin pram, particularly if the older child is sitting in the front. A tandem isn't always easy to fit on public transportation, and it can be difficult to maneuver narrow pavements.

The iCandy Peach, a popular model that focuses on image, is an excellent option for parents who are single and want an attractive appearance. However, the tandem mode makes it feel long and heavy to push. It comes with an innovative frame that can be expanded to allow the addition of the second seat, and can be used with multiple combinations of carrycots, buggy chairs and car seats (two at once or separately). The iCandy Wave is another lightweight tandem option that's simple to use and compatible with a range of car seats and carrycots.

Side by side

When it comes to choosing a double pram or pushchair, there's a lot to consider. If you're buying for twins or siblings who are close in age there are a variety of configuration options to take into account. Tandem prams (also known as side by side prams) are a popular choice because they can be configured to accommodate infants with a bassinet on the top while the older toddler or infant is in the second seat below.

Some models come with seats that can be reversible, meaning you can adapt the configuration to meet the needs of your family throughout the baby and toddler years. This allows you to keep your kids always in your sights and also gives them a chance to interact with each other as they stroll.

Tandem prams are typically jogging buggies or all-terrain ones that is why they're great for outdoor adventures and in the park. They're also a great option when you have to traverse narrow aisles in the supermarket or at checkouts, as they're generally smaller than single-seaters.

The Redsbaby JIVE3 pram for example, can be used in tandem mode from birth, with the addition of an rumble seat. (PS249) If your child gets bored of the rumble chair, you can switch to one pram mode. You may also opt to make use of the car capsule adaptors to transform it from a newborn to toddler travel system.

Another option is the Side by Side Pram from Babybee. The side-by-side cheap double pushchair pram is available in a range of colors and comes with an attractive modern style. It is designed to be used from birth, you can add the LUNA newborn cocoon (PS262) or the LUNA infant seats (PS53 each) to ensure that your baby is comfortable and safe.

The Egg 2 is a stylish elegant pushchair that can be transformed into a double side-by-side. It is available in a variety of infant seats and carrycots to accommodate twins or siblings of different age ranges. It's also incredibly easy to fold. It's also quite light and therefore an ideal choice for families who have small cars or only a little storage space.

Convertible

The best double prams and pushchairs are versatile and some are capable of changing seating arrangements to meet your family's changing needs. You can fit up to three children on the seat board or two toddlers in the seats and still have room for shopping bags. Accessories like rain covers are also available. Most convertible double strollers are more spacious and heavier than single pushchairs because they have to be capable of holding two or more children. The Graco Modes Nest2Grow convertible is an example of a very affordable convertible that is simple to use. However, our test participants thought it was a bit heavy for its price.

Some convertible double strollers like the Baby Jogger City Select 2 come with a carrycot suitable for babies. This allows the lightest double stroller stroller to be compacted and reduce in size when not being used. The City Select's clever single-handed folding impressed our test participants but it does require some practice. It also feels quite nimble and responsive, despite it being bigger than 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 a forward-facing toddler seat and the bassinet-style mode is a great choice for infants (although be aware that babies younger than four months old shouldn't sleep in strollers because of the danger of asphyxia from position).

For greater flexibility, opt for a convertible that has dual modes such as the iCandy Peach. It's a slim double stroller that can accommodate two children in a tandem. It can also be used to create a tandem by adding a second seat kit. It's nimble and responsive, and our testers liked its sleek design. It's not as lightweight as some of the other models on our list however it does come with a huge basket that's ideal for parents who are carrying bags of toys and food items.

Lightweight

Some parents like to future-proof their double buggy if they have a child and are expecting another and a convertible model is a good option. The iCandy Peach allows you to change from a single pushchair to a double pushchair with the addition of an infant seat or the brand's optional carrycot (which is suitable for sleeping at night). Our test subjects were impressed by how comfortable the seats are and adore the fact that they can recline in a variety of positions, have built-in foot and leg supports and generous UPF 50+ canopies with peekaboo windows. The rear seat can also be lifted high to offer an elevated platform for the child to get off and on to allow them to reach items in the basket of groceries.

The only downside to the iCandy Peach is that it is quite heavy, but Cher found that this was balanced by the ease to manoeuvre and how spacious the storage space is, with two hanging child and parent cup holders, seat-back pockets and a large underseat storage basket. She also liked the feature that the seats are adjustable, meaning they can be positioned to face each other for siblings who want to talk and get together while out and out and about.

The Delta Children LX Side-by-Side Stroller is a lighter option, but still impressive. It weighs just 18 pounds, is compact and features an auto-standing fold, making it simple to transport or store in your trunk. Parents appreciate the high-quality materials and workmanship, and the price. The only negatives are that the seats don't recline as well as other models we've tried and the rear seat isn't as well-lit because of its position - it is raised higher than the first seat.

Another popular option is the Joolz Geo 3, which is slim, sleek and easy to steer, with an appealing design and a lifetime guarantee. It's worth bearing in mind that despite their narrower design, side by side prams are larger than tandems and in-line doubles and can be difficult to navigate through busy streets or in shops. However, they're usually shorter too, so can be easier to turn in tight spaces than tandems.
