Choosing a Double Pram and Pushchair

A double pram or pushchair can simplify the lives of families, especially when walking on busy roads or in shops and stores. Choose a model that has plenty of storage space to store nappies, snacks, and other necessities.

Some parents who are new to the family opt for an infant pushchair that can be used as a single pram once baby is born. It can be transformed into a twin-mode after the baby is born. Joolz provides a variety of these options.

Tandem

The announcement that you are expecting a baby is one of the most exciting events in life. However, after the excitement of the beginning fades and the reality sets into your life, you'll be faced with a myriad of choices regarding how to prepare your family for the arrival of your baby one or one. The right pram or stroller is one of the most important considerations.

Tandem prams, also known as "in-line" double prams, are a classic design that has two seats or bassinets placed side by side. The front seat, which is typically cushioned, reclines flat and is suitable for infants. The second seat is upright and designed to accommodate toddlers as young as three years. Some models have the option of reversible seating, which lets you choose whether your children face each other or look out at you. A lot of tandems offer the option of converting into a single pushchair when you decide your oldest child no longer needs the second seat.

A tandem is less expensive than twin prams and is a great option for parents who want to save money, but without having to sacrifice safety or functional. A tandem can be heavy and difficult to steer, especially when you're tripping over kerbs. It is also less stable than twin prams, especially if an older child is riding in the front. A tandem isn't always easy to fit on public transport, and it may be difficult to maneuver narrow pavements.

The iCandy Peach, a popular model that focuses on image, is a fantastic option for a single parent who wants an elegant design. However the tandem mode makes it feel heavy and long to push. It comes with a clever frame that expands widthways to allow the addition of the second seat, and it is compatible with many combinations of carrycots, buggy chairs and car seats (two at once or separately). The iCandy Wave tandem is another lightweight option that's easy-to-use 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 pushchair or pram. If you're buying a double pushchair from birth pram for twins or siblings who are close in age there are plenty of configuration options to consider. Tandem prams, also known as side-by-side prams, are a popular choices due to the fact that they can be set up in a way that the infant is able to sit in the bassinet on top while the toddler or older child is sitting in the second chair.

Certain models come with reversible seats which allow you to alter the configuration for your family during the infant and toddler years. This lets you be able to watch your children at all times, and allows them to be a part of the journey as they walk.

Tandem prams are usually jogging or all-terrain buggies which makes them ideal for outdoor excursions and the park. They're also a good option when you have to traverse narrow supermarket isles or checkouts because they are generally smaller than single-seaters.

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

Another option is the Side by Side Pram from Babybee. This double pram side-by-side is available in a variety of colours and has an attractive modern style. 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 that your children are secure and comfortable.

If you're seeking a sleek, stylish pushchair that converts into a double-sided side-by-side, the Egg 2 from Chicco is a great option. It's available in a variety of infant seats and carrycots to accommodate twins or siblings of different age groups. It is also super-easy to collapse. It's also relatively lightweight, which makes it an ideal option 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 seat configurations to suit your family's changing needs. You can fit up to three children on the seat board, or two toddlers in the seats with enough space to carry a shopping bag. Accessories like rain covers are also available. Most convertible double buggy travel system strollers are bigger and heavier than single pushchairs due to the fact that they must be able 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 testers found it to be somewhat heavy for the money.

Some double strollers that convert into convertibles, such as the Baby Jogger City Select 2 include a carrycot suitable for babies. This allows the double stroller to be compacted and reduce in size when it is not used. The City Select's innovative folding system that is one-handed impressed our test participants, but it takes some time to master. It's also very nimble and agile, despite being larger than double strollers.

The Cybex Mockingbird single-to-double stroller is another affordable option. It converts from a parent-facing infant car seat to a forward-facing toddler seat, and the bassinet mode is a fantastic option for infants (although be aware that babies younger than 4 months old should not sleep in strollers because of the risk of positional asphyxia).

For greater flexibility, opt for a convertible that has dual modes such as the iCandy Peach. It's a compact double buggy with car seat stroller that is able to accommodate two children in a tandem. It can also be used to create a tandem by adding a second seating kit. It's responsive and agile and our testers loved its sleek design. It's not quite as lightweight as the other models on our list, but it comes with a big basket that's ideal for parents who have to carry bags of toys and other items.

Lightweight

Some parents want to ensure the future of their double buggy if they have one child and are expecting another and a convertible model is an excellent choice. The iCandy Peach allows you to change from a single pushchair to a double pushchair by the addition of either a toddler seat or the brand's optional carrycot (which is suitable for sleep overs). Our testers were pleased with how comfortable the seats are and love the fact that they both recline to different positions, feature built-in leg and foot support and generous UPF 50+ canopy with peekaboo windows. The rear seat can also be elevated to provide a a standing 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, however Cher found that this was overcome by how easy it is to maneuver and how large the storage space is, with two hanging child and parent cup holders as well as seat-back pockets, and a large underseat storage basket. Cher also loved that the seats can be turned to face each other, which is perfect for siblings who want to talk and interact while out and out and about.

A lighter-weight but just as impressive option is the Delta Children LX side-by-side stroller that weighs only 18 lbs. It is compact 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 downsides are that the seats do not recline as much compared to other models we've tried and the rear seat is not as visible because of its position and height. It is higher than the first seat.

Another popular option is the Joolz Geo 3, which is slim, sleek and easy to steer, and comes with an attractive design and lifetime guarantee. It's important to keep in mind that despite their narrower design side by side prams are wider than tandem and in-line doubles. They may be difficult to navigate on busy streets or in shops. They're also shorter, making them more maneuverable in tight spaces.
