Choosing a Double Pram and Pushchair

A well-designed double pram or pushchair can simplify life for families, particularly when walking on busy roads or in shops and stores. Look for a model with generous storage space for stowing nappies, snacks and other essentials.

Some first-time parents choose a future-proof pushchair which can be used both as a single stroller at the time baby is born, and then transformed into a twin-mode when the baby is born. Joolz has a variety of options.

Tandem

The news that you're expecting a baby is one of the most exciting times in your life. When 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 aspects to consider is choosing the right pram or pushchair.

Tandem prams, also known as "in-line" double prams, are a classic design that has two bassinets or seats placed side by side. The front seat, which is usually padded, reclines flat and is suitable for newborns. The second seat is upright and designed to fit toddlers as young as three years old. Some models come with 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 doesn't require the second seat.

A tandem is cheaper than a twin pram and is an excellent choice for parents looking to save money, without compromising safety or functionality. A tandem can be heavy and difficult to steer, particularly when you're tripping over the kerbs. It is also less stable than twin prams, especially if an older child is riding in the front. A tandem can be difficult to place on public transport, and it can be difficult to navigate narrow roads.

The iCandy Peach is a popular image-conscious model that's a great choice for a single 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 a frame that expands in dimensions to accommodate the second seat. It can be used with a variety of car seats, buggy seats, and carrycots (two at simultaneously or separately). The iCandy Wave is another lightweight double pushchair tandem option that is easy to use and compatible with a variety of car seats and carrycots.

Side by side

There are many aspects to think about when selecting a double pushchair or pram. There are a variety of configuration options available, whether you're purchasing for twins or close-in-age siblings. Tandem prams (also called side by sides prams) are a popular choice since they can be set up to accommodate infants in a bassinet on top, while the larger infant or toddler sits in the second seat below.

Some models come with convertible seats, which means you can alter the seating arrangement to your family's requirements throughout the toddler and baby years. This allows you to keep your children always in your sight and gives them a an opportunity to interact with one another as they walk.

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

The Redsbaby JIVE3 Pram, for instance can be used as a tandem pram from birth in the dual mode by adding the use of the rumble seat (PS249). Then, you can switch to the single mode when your little one grows out of the rumble seat or select the car capsule adaptors (PS53) to transform it into a travel system for newborn to toddler.

Another option is the Side by Side Pram from Babybee. This double pram side-by-side is available in a variety of colors and comes with an elegant modern design. It is designed to be used from birth, you can also include the LUNA Cocoon for newborns (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, the Egg 2 from Chicco is an excellent choice. It's available in a range of infant seat and carrycot combinations to cater for twins or siblings of different ages and is super-easy to fold. It's also fairly light, making it a good choice for those who have smaller vehicles or have limited space to store.

Convertible

The best double stroller with infant car seat pushchairs or prams can be made into various seats to accommodate your changing needs. There is the possibility of fitting two toddlers in the seats or a third child on the seat board and still have space for a shopping basket, and the option to add accessories such as rain covers is another benefit. Most convertible double strollers are more spacious and heavier than single pushchairs as they have to be able to accommodate two or more children. The Graco Modes Nest2Grow convertible is an example of a very inexpensive convertible that is very easy to use. However, our testers considered it to be quite 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 infants. This allows the double stroller to be compacted and reduce in size when not used. The City Select's innovative, one-handed folding impressed our test subjects but it does require some practice. It's also very fluid and agile in spite of its size.

Another option that is affordable is an option that is affordable is the Cybex Mockingbird Single-to-Double Stroller. It can be converted from a car seat with a parent seat to a forward-facing toddler car seat and the bassinet-style mode is a great option for infants (although remember that babies under 4 months old should not use strollers to sleep due to the danger of asphyxia from position).

If you're looking for more flexibility Consider a convertible that has dual modes like the iCandy Peach. It's a compact double buggy that can fit two children side-by-side and can be used as a tandem with the addition of a second seat kit and rider board. It feels agile and responsive, and our test users were impressed by its sleek design. It's not as light as some of the other models on our list but it has a large basket that's great for parents who are carrying bags of toys and other items.

Lightweight

Some parents want to ensure the future of their double buggy when they have one child and are expecting another and a convertible model is a great option. The iCandy Peach allows you to transform from a single to a double pushchair with the addition of either a toddler seat or the brand's optional carrycot (which is suitable for sleep overs). Our testers were pleased with the comfort of the seats and loved the fact that they both recline to multiple positions, come with built-in leg and foot supports and have UPF 50+ canopy that has windows that peek out. The rear seat can be raised high to allow the child of a higher age can stand on it to reach the basket of shopping.

The only downside to the iCandy Peach is that it is quite heavy, but Cher believed that it was overcome by how easy it is to move around and how big the storage area is with two hanging child and parent cup holders with seat-back pockets as well as a large underseat basket. Cher also liked that the seats can be reversed so that they can face each other. This is ideal for siblings who love to chat and have conversations when out and out and about.

A lighter, but equally impressive choice is the Delta Children LX side-by-side stroller, which weighs only 18 pounds, is extremely compact and has a self-standing fold, making it easy to transport and store in your trunk or at home. Parents love the quality of the materials and craftsmanship as well as the price is low. The only issue is that the seats don't recline as much as some other models we've tested and the rear seat isn't as well-lit because of its position that is higher than the front seat.

The Joolz Geo 3 is another popular choice. It's slim, sleek and easy to steer and has an unbeatable lifetime warranty. It's important to keep in mind that, despite their smaller size side by side prams are still wider than tandem and in-line doubles. They can be difficult to navigate on busy streets or in shops. However, they are often shorter, which means they can be more maneuverable in tight spaces than tandems.
