Choosing a Double Pram and Pushchair

A good double pram or pushchair can simplify family life, especially when walking on busy roads or in stores and shops. Look for a model with ample storage space to store nappies, snacks and other essentials.

Some parents who are first-time parents opt for a future-proof pushchair which can be used as a single stroller once baby is born, and converted to a twin mode when the baby is born. Joolz offers a wide range of options.

Tandem

The announcement that you're expecting a baby is among the most exciting events in life. However, once the excitement of the beginning fades and reality sinks in, you could be faced with a myriad of choices regarding how to prepare your family for the arrival of your baby one or ones. One of the most important considerations is choosing the correct pram or pushchair.

Tandem prams (also known as "in-line" double prams) are a classic style that feature two seats or pram bassinets arranged side by side. The front seat is usually padded and reclines to a flat position making it suitable for infants while the second one is more upright and can be used by toddlers from around three years of age. Certain models let you select whether your children stare at each other or outwards. A lot of tandems offer the option to convert into a single pushchair in the event that you decide that your child's oldest does not require the second seat.

In terms of price the tandem is cheaper than a twin pushchair, and is a great option for parents looking to save money but not compromising on safety or functionality. However, a drawback of a tandem is that it could be heavy and long to steer, particularly when going up or down kerbs. Additionally, it is often less stable than a twin pram especially if the child who is older is seated at the front. A tandem can also be difficult to get onto public transport and can be difficult to navigate on narrow roads.

The iCandy Peach is a popular model that is a good choice for a singleton parent looking for a sleeker design however the tandem mode can make it feel quite long and heavy when pushing. It has an expanded frame that increases in size to accommodate a second seat. It can be used with a variety of buggy seats, car seats, and carrycots (two at one time or in separate). The iCandy Wave is another lightweight tandem option that's simple to use and compatible with a variety of car seats and carrycots.

Side by side

When it comes to choosing a double pushchair or pram there's a lot to think about. There are a variety of configuration options to choose from, regardless of 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 configured to accommodate infants in a bassinet at the top, while the older toddler or infant sits in the second seat below.

Certain models come with reversible seats that let you customize the seating arrangement for your family members throughout the baby and toddler years. This lets you keep your children always in your sight and also gives them the chance to interact with each other as they stroll.

Tandem prams are usually jogging or all-terrain buggies, which means they're ideal for outdoor adventures and the park. They are also great for narrow aisles and checkouts in shops and supermarkets as they are more compact.

The Redsbaby JIVE3 pram for example, can be utilized in tandem mode from birth, but with the addition of a rumble seat. (PS249) You can then change to a single pram mode when your little one is old enough to leave the rumble seat or select the adaptors for car capsules (PS53) to turn it into a travel system from infant to toddler.

The Side by Side Pram by Babybee is another option. This double side-byside pram comes in a range of colors and is designed with a contemporary style. It is designed to be used from the moment of birth, you can choose to 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 can be converted into a double side-byside. It is available in a variety of carrycots and infant seats to accommodate twins or siblings with different age groups. It's also easy to collapse. It is also relatively light and therefore a good option for people with smaller vehicles or have limited space to store.

Convertible

The best twin buggy double prams or pushchairs can be configured into different seats to meet your changing needs. You can accommodate up to three children on the seat board or two toddlers in the seats with enough space for a shopping bag. Accessories like rain covers are also available. Convertible double strollers are generally heavier and bulkier than single to double pushchair pushchairs due to the fact that they have to hold two or more children. The Graco Modes Nest2Grow convertible is an example of an inexpensive convertible that is very easy to use. However, our testers thought it was a bit heavy for the money.

Some convertible double strollers like the Baby Jogger City Select 2 come with a carrycot suitable for newborns. This allows the double stroller to be compacted and reduce in size when not used. The City Select's clever folding system that is one-handed impressed our test participants but it does require some time to master. It's also extremely responsive and nimble, despite its size.

The Cybex Mockingbird single-to-double stroller is an alternative that is affordable. 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 choice for infants (although be aware that babies younger than 4 months old should not be able to sleep in strollers due to the risk of asphyxia in a position).

For more flexibility, look for a convertible that has dual modes such as the iCandy Peach. It's a compact double stroller that can accommodate two children at the same time. It can also be used to create a tandem by incorporating a second seat kit. It's fluid and responsive, and our testers liked its sleek design. It's not as light as the other models on our list but it has a large basket that is useful for parents who have to carry bags of toys and food items.

Lightweight

Convertible double prams for newborn strollers are an excellent option for parents who have children and anticipate another. The iCandy Peach allows you to transform from a single to a double umbrella stroller pushchair, with the addition of either a toddler seat or the brand's optional carrycot (which is suitable for overnight sleeping). The seats are very comfortable and our testers appreciate that they can recline in a variety of positions. They also appreciate the fact that the canopy has a window that peeks out and offers UPF 50+ protection. The rear seat can be raised high so that the child who is older can sit n stand double stroller on it to reach the shopping basket.

The only drawback of the iCandy Peach is that it is quite heavy, however Cher believed that this was offset by how easy it is to manoeuvre and how spacious the storage area is equipped with two hanging parent and child cup holders as well as seat-back pockets, and a large underseat basket. Cher also appreciated the feature that the seats are convertible, which means they can be set to face one another for siblings who want to talk and get together while out and about.

The Delta Children LX Side-by-Side Stroller is a smaller model and still impressive. It weighs only 18 pounds, is small double stroller and features an auto-standing fold, making it simple to transport or store in your trunk. Parents appreciate the high-quality materials and workmanship, as well as the cost. The only downsides are that the seats don't recline as much as other models we've tried and the rear seat is not as well-lit due to its position and height. It is higher than the front 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 is important to remember that, despite their smaller size Side by side prams are wider than tandem and in-line doubles. They may be difficult to navigate through crowded footpaths or in shops. They are also smaller which makes them easier to maneuver in tight spaces.
