Choosing a Double Pram and Pushchair

A double pram can simplify the lives of families, particularly in bustling shops or on busy streets. Find a model that has generous storage space for stowing nappies, snacks and other essentials.

Some first-time parents opt for a future-proof pushchair that can be used as a single pram when baby is born. It can be transformed into a twin stroller with car seats-mode when the baby is old enough. Joolz offers a range of choices.

Tandem

The announcement that you are expecting a baby is among life's most exciting moments. After the excitement wears off and the reality of the situation begins to set in, you'll be faced with many choices regarding how to prepare your family. One of the most important aspects to consider is choosing the best pram or pushchair.

Tandem prams, also referred to as "in-line" double prams, are a classic design with two bassinets or seats placed side by side. The front seat, which is usually cushioned, reclines and is suitable for newborns. The second seat is a bit higher and designed to fit toddlers as young as three years old. Certain models let you choose whether your children look at each other or outwards. Many tandems have the option of being converted into a single pushchair when you decide that your child's oldest doesn't 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 losing safety or function. A tandem can be a bit heavy and difficult to steer, especially when bumping over the kerbs. It's also less stable than twin prams particularly if a larger child is riding in the front. A tandem can be difficult to fit on public transport, and it can be difficult to navigate narrow pavements.

The iCandy Peach is a popular image-conscious model 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 quite heavy and long when pushing. It comes with frames that can be expanded in dimensions to accommodate the second seat. It can be used with a variety of car seats, buggy seats, and carrycots (two at one time or in separate). The iCandy Wave tandem is another lightweight option that's user-friendly and compatible with a range of carrycots or car seats.

Side by side

There are a lot of things to consider when choosing a double buggy newborn (content) pram or pushchair. There are many configuration options to choose from, whether you're buying for twins or close-in-age siblings. Tandem prams (also known as side by side prams) are a popular choice since they can be arranged to accommodate infants with a bassinet on top while the older toddler or infant is in the lower seat below.

Some models even feature convertible 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 be able to watch your children at all times and gives them the chance to be a part of the journey while they walk.

Tandem prams are typically jogging or all-terrain buggies, which means they're ideal for outdoor adventures and in the park. They're also a good option when you have to traverse narrow checkout aisles or isles in supermarkets as they're generally more compact than single-seaters.

The Redsbaby JIVE3 pram, for instance, can be used in tandem mode right from birth with the addition of the Rumble seat. (PS249) It is then possible to switch to the single to double pushchair pram mode when your little one grows out of the rumble seat or select the car capsule adaptors (PS53) to turn it into a traveler from newborn to toddler.

The Side by Side Pram made by Babybee is a different option. This double pram side-by-side is available in a range of colours and has a beautiful modern style. It is designed to be used right from birth, you can add the LUNA newborn cocoon (PS262) or the LUNA infant seats (PS53 each) to ensure your little ones are safe and comfy.

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 range of carrycot and infant seat combinations to accommodate twins or siblings of different ages and is super-easy to fold. It's also quite light and therefore an ideal option for those with smaller cars or a limited storage space.

Convertible

Some of the top double prams or pushchairs double can be configured into different seats to accommodate your changing needs. You can fit two toddlers in seats or a third child on the seat board, and still have room for a shopping basket, and the option to add accessories like rain covers is a plus. Convertible double strollers tend to be heavier and larger than single pushchairs because they need to hold two or more children. The Graco Modes Nest2Grow is one example of a convertible that is affordable that is extremely easy to use, although our testers thought it was a little heavy for the price.

Some double pram stroller strollers that can be converted into convertibles like the Baby Jogger City Select 2 include a carrycot suitable for infants. This allows the double stroller to be compacted and reduced in size when not being used. The City Select's innovative single-handed folding impressed our test subjects, but it takes some practice. It's also extremely responsive and nimble, despite its size.

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

If you want more flexibility Consider a convertible that has dual modes such as the iCandy Peach. This is a narrow double buggy that can hold two children in a row however it can also be used as a tandem with the addition of a second-seat kit and rider board. It's nimble and responsive and our testers loved its sleek design. It's not as light as some of the other pushchairs in our list however it does come with an ample shopping basket that is great for parents who carry bags of toys and groceries.

Lightweight

Convertible double strollers are an excellent alternative for parents who have one child and are expecting the arrival of a second. The iCandy Peach allows you to change from a single pushchair to a double pushchair by the addition of an infant seat or the brand's optional carrycot (which is suitable for sleeping at night). Our testers noted the comfort of the seats and loved the fact that both recline to multiple positions, feature built-in leg and foot support and large UPF 50+ canopies with windows that peek out. The rear seat can be raised so that the child who is older can stand on it to reach the shopping basket.

The only issue with the iCandy Peach is that it is quite heavy, however Cher believed that it was overcome by how easy it is to manoeuvre and how spacious the storage area is equipped with two hanging child and parent cup holders as well as seat-back pockets, and a large underseat storage basket. Cher also loved that seats can be flipped to be positioned to face each other, which is great for siblings who love to interact and talk when out and out and about.

A lighter and equally impressive choice is the Delta Children LX side-by-side stroller that weighs only 18 lbs. It is compact and has a self-standing fold that makes it easy to transport and store in your trunk or at home. Parents appreciate the quality of the materials and workmanship and the low price point. The only issue is that the seats don't recline as much as the other models we've examined and the back seat isn't very well-lit due to its position that is higher than the front seats.

The Joolz Geo 3 is another popular choice. It's slim, sleek and easy to steer and has a lifetime warranty. It is important to remember that, despite their slimmer design side by side prams are still wider than tandem and in-line doubles and can be difficult to navigate on busy streets or in shops. They are also smaller and therefore easier to maneuver in tight spaces.
