Choosing a Double Pram and Pushchair

A double pram can simplify life for families, particularly in bustling shops or on busy streets. Select a model that offers plenty of storage space to store nappies as well as snacks and other necessities.

Some parents who are new to the family opt for a future proof pushchair that can be used as a single pram when baby is born. It can be converted into a twin mode once he or she is old enough. Joolz offers a wide range of options.

Tandem

The announcement that you are expecting a child is one of life's most exciting experiences. Once the excitement has worn off and the reality of the situation sets in, you will be faced with many choices regarding how you can prepare your family. The best stroller or pram is among the most important considerations.

Tandem prams, also known as "in-line" double stroller with infant car seat prams, are a classic style with two bassinets or seats placed side by side. The front seat, which is usually cushioned, reclines flat and is suitable for infants. The second seat is upright and is designed to accommodate toddlers as young as three years old. Some models come with the option of reversible seating, which lets you choose to have your children face one another or look at you. Many tandems also have the option of converting into a single pushchair twin in the event that you decide your oldest child does not require the second seat.

A tandem is cheaper than twin prams and is an excellent choice for parents who wish to save money, but without compromising safety or functionality. A tandem can be a bit heavy and difficult to steer, particularly when you're tripping over curbs. It is also less stable than twin prams especially when a bigger child is in the front. A tandem can be difficult to place on public transportation, and it can be difficult to navigate narrow roads.

The iCandy Peach is a popular model with a strong image that's a great option for a single parent who is looking for something that is sleek however the tandem mode can make it feel heavy and long when pushing. It comes with a clever frame that expands in width to allow the addition of the second seat, and is compatible with many combinations of carrycots, buggy chairs and car seats (two at once or separately). The iCandy Wave is another lightweight tandem option that is easy to use and compatible with a range of car seats and carrycots.

Side by side

There are a lot of things to consider when choosing a double pram or pushchair. If you're buying a double pram for twins or other siblings that are similar in age there are plenty of configuration choices to think about. Tandem prams, also known as side-by-side prams, are a popular choices because they can be set up in a way that the infant can sit in the bassinet in the middle while the toddler or older child is sitting in the second chair.

Some models even feature convertible seats, which means you can adapt the configuration to suit your family's needs throughout the baby and toddler years. This allows you to keep your children always in your sight and also gives them the chance to get to know each other as they stroll.

Tandem prams can be jogging buggies or all-terrain buggies. They are ideal for outdoor excursions, such as to the park. They're also a good choice if you need to brave narrow checkout aisles or isles in supermarkets because they are generally smaller than single-seaters.

The Redsbaby JIVE3 Pram, for instance, can be used as a tandem pram right from birth in the dual mode with the addition of the rumble seat (PS249). If your child is no longer a member of the rumble chair, you can change to one pram mode. You may also opt to use the car capsule adaptors to transform it from a newborn to toddler travel system.

The Side by Side Pram made by Babybee is another alternative. The double side-by-side pram is available in a variety of colours and is designed in a contemporary design. The design is intended to be used right from the moment of birth, you can choose to add the LUNA newborn cocoon (PS262) or the LUNA infant seats (PS53 each) to ensure that your children are safe and comfy.

If you're seeking a sleek, elegant pushchair that can be converted into a side-by-side double, the Egg 2 from Chicco is an excellent choice. It is available in a variety of infant seats and carrycots to accommodate twins or siblings with different ages. It's also easy to collapse. It's also fairly lightweight and therefore a good option for people with small cars or limited space for storage.

Convertible

The best double prams and pushchairs are versatile, and some are even capable of changing seat configurations to suit the changing needs of your family. You can accommodate up to three children on the seat board or two toddlers in the seats, with room for shopping bags. Accessories such as rain covers are also available. Convertible double strollers tend to be larger and heavier than single pushchairs because they have 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 found it to be quite heavy for its price.

Some convertible double strollers, like the Baby Jogger City Select 2 has a carrycot option which is suitable for newborns. This allows the double stroller to be folded down and reduced in size when not used. The City Select's innovative folding system that is one-handed impressed our test participants but it does require some time to master. It's also very nimble and responsive, despite it being bigger than other double strollers.

Another option that is affordable is the Cybex Mockingbird Single-to-Double Stroller. The seat can be transformed from a child-facing car seat to a forward-facing toddler seat. The bassinet feature makes it a great option for infants.

For greater flexibility, opt for a dual-mode convertible like the iCandy Peach. It's a small double buggy that can hold two children in a row, but it can also be used as a tandem with the addition of a second seat kit and rider board. It's responsive and agile, and our testers liked its sleek design. It's not quite as lightweight 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 food items.

Lightweight

Some parents prefer to secure their double pushchair if they have a child and are expecting another and a convertible model is a good option. The iCandy Peach can be converted from a single pushchair to a double with the addition of a toddler seat or the brand's carrycot (which is ideal for sleeping at night). Our testers were pleased with the comfort of the seats and love the fact that they can recline in a variety of positions, have built-in leg and foot support and large UPF 50+ canopy that has peekaboo windows. The rear seat can be raised high so that the older child can stand on it to reach the basket of shopping.

The only drawback of the iCandy Peach is that it is quite heavy, but Cher found that it was balanced by its ease to move around and how big the storage space is, with two hanging child and parent cup holders, seat-back pockets and a large underseat basket. She also appreciated the feature that the seats are convertible, which means they can be placed to face each other for siblings that want to chat and interact together while out and out and about.

The Delta Children LX Side-by-Side Stroller is a lighter option however, it is still awe-inspiring. It weighs only 18 pounds, is lightweight, Double Pram and Pushchair and has a self standing fold, making it easy to transport or store in your trunk. Parents love the quality of the materials and craftsmanship as well as the affordable price. The only drawback is that the seats don't recline as much as some other models we've tried, and the rear seat isn't very well-lit because of its position as it's higher than the front seat.

The Joolz Geo 3 is another popular option. It's slim, sleek, and easy to steer, and comes with a lifetime guarantee. It is important to remember that, despite their slimmer design side by side prams remain larger than tandems and in-line doubles and can be difficult to navigate on busy footpaths or in stores. However, they're usually shorter too, so can be more maneuverable in tight spaces than tandems.
