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 stores and shops. Pick a model with plenty of storage space to store nappies as well as 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 bub is born and then converted into a twin mode after the baby is born. Joolz provides a variety of these options.

Tandem

The announcement that you're expecting a baby is among life's most exciting experiences. However, once the initial excitement wears off and reality begins to sink in, you may be faced with a variety of decisions regarding how to prepare your family for the arrival of your baby one or one. The right pram or stroller is among the most important considerations.

Tandem prams (also known as 'in-line' double prams) are a timeless design that have two seats or pram bassinets that are arranged side-by-side. The front seat is usually covered in padding and reclines to a flat angle, making it suitable for infants and the second seat is more upright and is able to accommodate toddlers up to three years old. older. Some models come with seats that can be reversible, so you can decide if your children face towards each other or gaze at you. A lot of tandems offer the option of being converted into a single pushchair in the event that you decide your oldest child no longer needs the second seat.

In terms of price it is cheaper than a twin pushchair and can be a great choice for parents looking to save money without compromising on safety or functionality. However, the drawback of a tandem is that it can feel long and heavy to steer especially when going up or down kerbs. Additionally, it is usually less stable than a twin pram particularly if the older child is sitting in the front. A tandem can be difficult to fit onto public transport, and it can be difficult to navigate on narrow roads.

The iCandy Peach, a popular model that is focused on image, is a great option for a single parent who wants a sleeker style. However, the tandem mode makes it feel heavy and long to push. It has an innovative frame that can be expanded to allow for the addition of the second seat, and it is compatible with many combinations of buggy seats, carrycots and car seats (two at a time or in separate). The iCandy Wave is another lightweight tandem option that is easy to use and compatible with a variety of carrycots and car seats.

Side by side

When it comes to selecting a double pushchair or pram there's a lot to consider. If you're buying a double pram for twins or siblings who are close in age there are plenty of configuration options to consider. Tandem prams, referred to as side-by-side prams, are popular choices due to the fact that they can be set up so that the infant can sit in the bassinet in the middle while the older child or toddler is sitting in the second chair.

Some models come with convertible seats, which means you can adapt the configuration to suit your family's needs throughout the toddler and baby years. This allows you to see your children at all times and gives them the chance to connect with them as they walk.

Tandem prams are jogging buggies as well as all-terrain buggies. They are great for outdoor excursions, such as to the park. These are also good for narrow aisles or checkouts in supermarkets and shops because they are less bulky.

The Redsbaby JIVE3 Pram, for instance, can be used as a tandem pram from birth in dual mode with the addition of the rumble seat (PS249). Then, you can switch to the single mode once your baby grows out of the rumble seat or select the car capsule adaptors (PS53) to turn it into a travel system for infant to toddler.

The Side by Side Pram by Babybee is a different option. The side-by-side double pram is available in a variety of colours and has an attractive modern style. It is designed to be used from the moment of birth, you can add the LUNA newborn Cocoon (PS262) and the LUNA Infant Seats (PS53 each).

If you're seeking a sleek, elegant pushchair that can be converted into a side-by-side double and a side-by-side double, the Egg 2 from Chicco is an excellent choice. It's available in a range of infant seat and carrycot configurations to accommodate twins or siblings of varying age groups and is easy to fold. It is also relatively lightweight and compact, making it a great choice for those who have smaller vehicles or have limited space to store.

Convertible

The top double prams and pushchairs are versatile and some are capable of changing seating configurations to meet your family's changing needs. It is possible to fit two toddlers in a seat or even a third one on the seat board and have enough space for a basket to store your shopping, and the capability to add accessories such as rain covers is a benefit. Convertible double buggy that converts to single strollers are generally heavier and bulkier than single pushchairs due to the fact that they need to hold 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 test participants considered it to be a bit heavy for its price.

Some convertible double strollers like the Baby Jogger City Select 2 have a carrycot that is suitable for newborns. This helps to reduce the size of the double stroller when it is not in use and makes it more compact. The City Select's innovative single-handed folding impressed our test participants but it does require some time to master. It's also quite agile and responsive, despite being bigger than double strollers.

Another affordable option is the Cybex Mockingbird Single-to-double prams With UV Protection canopy Stroller. It can be converted from a car seat with a parent seat to a forward-facing toddler car seat, and the bassinet mode is a great option for infants (although be aware that babies younger than four months old shouldn't use strollers to sleep due to the risk of asphyxia in a position).

If you're looking to expand your options Consider a convertible that has dual modes like the iCandy Peach. It's a slim double stroller that can hold two children at the same time. It can also be used to make a tandem by adding a second seat kit. It's responsive and agile and our test participants loved its sleek design. It's not quite as lightweight as some of the other models on our list but it comes with a big basket that is useful for parents who are carrying bags filled with toys and other items.

Lightweight

Some parents prefer to secure their double buggy when they have one child and are expecting another, so a convertible option is a good option. The iCandy Peach can be converted from a single pushchair into a double with the addition of a toddler seat or the brand's carrycot (which is ideal to sleep at night). Our testers noted the comfort of the seats and love the fact that they both recline to different positions, feature built-in leg and foot supports and have UPF 50+ canopy that has peekaboo windows. The rear seat can also be raised to provide an elevated platform for the child to climb off and on so that they can reach things in the shopping basket.

Cher stated that the only disadvantage of the iCandy Peach was its weight. However, she felt that this was compensated for because it is easy to maneuver and comes with plenty of storage space and cup holders for children and parents as well as seat-back pockets and an enormous basket underneath the seat. Cher also appreciated that seats can be flipped to be positioned to face each other, which is great for siblings who like to interact and talk when out and out and about.

A lighter-weight but just as impressive option is the Delta Children LX side-by-side stroller, which weighs only 18 lbs. It is compact and features a self-standing fold, making it easy to transport and put in your trunk or at home. Parents are impressed by the quality of materials and workmanship, and the affordable cost. The only negatives 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 as it is higher than the first seat.

The Joolz Geo 3 is another popular choice. It's slim, sleek, easy to steer, and comes with a lifetime guarantee. It is important to remember that, despite their smaller size, side by side prams remain wider than tandem and in-line doubles and can be difficult to navigate on crowded footpaths or in shops. They are also shorter which makes them more maneuverable in tight spaces.
