Choosing a Double Pram and Pushchair

A double pram or pushchair can simplify the lives of families, especially on busy streets or in stores and shops. Choose a model with generous storage space for stowing 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 when baby is born. It can be changed into a twin mode once he or she has arrived. Joolz offers a range of these options.

Tandem

The announcement that you're expecting to have a baby is among the most exciting times in life. After the excitement wears off and the reality of the situation kicks in, you will be faced with many options for how to prepare your family. The right pram or stroller is one of the most important considerations.

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

In terms of price it is cheaper than a twin pushchair, and can be an excellent choice for parents looking to save money, but not compromise on safety or convenience. A tandem can be a bit heavy and difficult to steer, especially when bumping over the kerbs. It's also less stable than twin stroller side by side pushchairs especially when a bigger child is riding in the front. A tandem can be difficult to fit on public transportation, and it can be difficult to maneuver narrow pavements.

The iCandy Peach, a popular model that is focused on image, is a great alternative for parents with one child who want an attractive design. However the tandem mode can make it feel a bit heavy and long to push. It's got a frame that expands in size to accommodate a second seat. It can be used with a variety of car seats, buggy seats and carrycots (two at a time or separately). The iCandy Wave tandem is another lightweight option that is easy to use and compatible with a variety of car seats or carrycots.

Side by side

When it comes time to choose a double pushchair or pram there's plenty to think about. There are a variety of configuration options available, whether you're purchasing for twins or close-in-age siblings. Tandem prams (also known as side by side prams) are a popular choice because they can be arranged to accommodate infants with a bassinet on the top while the older infant or toddler sits in the lower seat below.

Some models have reversible seating that allow you to customize the layout of your family during the baby and toddler years. This lets you be able to watch your children at all times, and allows them to interact while they walk.

Tandem prams can be jogging buggies, or all-terrain buggies. They are great for outdoor excursions, such as to the park. They are also great for narrow aisles and checkouts in supermarkets and shops because they are smaller.

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

Another alternative is the Side by Side Pram from Babybee. The double side-by-side pram is available in a range of colors and is designed with a modern style. The design is intended to be used from birth, you can add the LUNA newborn cocoon (PS262) or the LUNA infant seats (PS53 each) to ensure that your children are comfortable and safe.

If you're looking for a sleek, elegant pushchair that can convert into a double-sided side-by-side and a side-by-side double, the Egg 2 from Chicco is an excellent choice. It's available in a variety of infant seats and carrycots to accommodate twins or siblings with different ages. It's also incredibly easy to fold. It's also fairly light, which makes it a great choice for those 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 configurations 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 enough space for shopping bags. Accessories such as rain covers are also available. Convertible double strollers tend to be larger and heavier than single pushchairs due to the fact that they need to hold two or more children. The Graco Modes Nest2Grow is one example of a convertible that is affordable that is extremely user-friendly, however our testers felt that it was a little heavy for the price.

Some double strollers that can be converted into convertibles like the Baby Jogger City Select 2 have a carrycot that is suitable for babies. This allows the double stroller to be compacted and reduced in size when not being used. Our test subjects were awed by the City Select's clever one-handed fold. However, it takes a bit of practice. It's also quite agile and agile, despite being larger than smallest double buggy strollers.

Another option that is reasonably priced is an affordable option is the Cybex Mockingbird Single-to-double buggy converts to single Stroller. It can be transformed from a parent facing infant car seat to a forward-facing toddler seat. The bassinet-style mode makes it a great option for infants.

If you want more flexibility, consider a dual-mode convertible such as the iCandy Peach. This is a narrow double buggy from birth stroller that can accommodate two children at the same time. It can also be used to create a tandem by adding a second seat kit. It's responsive and agile and our testers loved its sleek design. It's not as light as some of the other pushchairs we've reviewed, but it offers an enormous shopping basket that is handy for parents carrying bags of toys and groceries.

Lightweight

Some parents like to future-proof their double buggy if they have one child and are expecting another so a convertible option 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 carrycot (which is suitable for sleeping at night). The seats are very comfortable and our testers appreciate that they can recline in various positions. They also like the feature that the canopy comes with a peekaboo window and UPF 50+ protection. The rear seat can be raised to provide a standing platform for the older child to get off and on, to allow them to reach things in the shopping basket.

The only drawback of the iCandy Peach is that it is quite heavy, however Cher found that this was overcome by the ease to move around and how big the storage area is with two hanging parent and child cup holders with seat-back pockets as well as a large underseat storage basket. Cher also loved that the seats can be turned so that they face each other. This is ideal for siblings who like to talk and interact when out and about.

The Delta Children LX Side-by-Side Stroller is a less heavy option and still impressive. It weighs just 18 pounds, is lightweight and features an auto-standing fold, making it easy to carry around or put in your trunk. Parents are impressed by the quality of materials and workmanship, as well as the affordable price. The only negatives are that the seats don't recline as well as other models we've tested and the rear seat isn't as well-lit due to its location and height. It is higher than the seat in front.

Another popular option is the Joolz Geo 3, which is slim and sleek. It is also easy to steer, and comes with an attractive design and lifetime guarantee. Although they are smaller than side-by-side strollers, they can be more spacious than tandems and inline doubles. This can make them difficult to maneuver on busy streets and in shops. However, they're usually shorter too, so can be more maneuverable in tight spaces than tandems.
