Choosing a double pram and pushchair (source website)

A double pram can simplify life for families, particularly in busy shopping centers or on busy streets. Choose a model that has plenty of storage space to store nappies as well as snacks and other essentials.

Some parents who are first-time parents opt for a future-proof pushchair that can be used both as a single stroller once baby is born, and then changed to a twin mode when the baby is born. Joolz has a variety of options.

Tandem

The announcement that you are expecting a baby is one of life's most exciting moments. When the excitement wears off and the reality of the situation sets in, you'll be faced with a variety of choices regarding how to prepare your family for. The proper stroller or pram is one of the most important considerations.

Tandem prams (also known as "in-line" double prams) are a classic design that feature two seats or pram bassinets arranged side-by-side. The front seat, which is typically padded, reclines flat and is suitable for newborns. The second seat is more upright and is designed to accommodate toddlers as young as 3 years old. Certain models feature seats that can be reversible, so you can decide if your children face towards each other or gaze at you. Many tandems also have the option of being converted into a single pushchair when you decide that your child's oldest no longer needs the second seat.

A tandem is cheaper than twin stroller prams and is a great option for parents who wish to save money without compromising safety or functionality. A tandem can be a bit heavy and difficult to steer, especially when negotiating curbs. It is also less stable than twin stroller pushchairs particularly if a larger child is riding in the front. A tandem isn't always easy to fit on public transport, and it may be difficult to navigate narrow roads.

The iCandy Peach is a popular model with a strong image that's a great choice for a single parent who wants something streamlined however, the tandem mode can make it feel quite large and heavy when pushing. It comes with a frame that expands in dimensions to accommodate the second seat. It can be used with a range of combinations of buggy seats, car seats and carrycots (two at simultaneously or separately). The iCandy Wave is another lightweight tandem option that's easy to use and compatible with a range of carrycots and car seats.

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 siblings who are close in age there are a variety of configuration options to consider. Tandem prams, also referred to as side-by-side prams are popular options because they can be set up in a way that the infant can be seated in the bassinet at the top while the older child or toddler is sitting in the second chair.

Some models have reversible seats that let you customize the configuration for your family throughout the baby and toddler years. This allows you to keep your kids in sight at all times and gives them a chance to interact with each other as they stroll.

Tandem prams are typically jogging buggies or all-terrain ones which makes them ideal for outdoor excursions and the park. They are also great for narrow aisles and checkouts in shops and supermarkets, as they are smaller.

The Redsbaby JIVE3 pram for example, can be utilized in tandem mode from birth, with the addition of a rumble seat. (PS249) If your child gets bored of the rumble seat, you can switch to a single pram mode. You may also opt to make use of the car capsule adaptors to convert it from a newborn to a toddler travel system.

The Side by Side Pram from Babybee is another alternative. This side-by-side double pram is available in a variety of colors and comes with an attractive modern style. It is designed to be used from the moment of birth, you can add the LUNA Cocoon for newborns (PS262) and the LUNA Infant Seats (PS53 each).

If you're looking for a sleek and stylish pushchair that converts 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 variety of infant and carrycot configurations to accommodate twins or siblings of varying age groups and is easy to fold. It's also relatively lightweight, which makes it an ideal choice for families with smaller cars or a limited storage space.

Convertible

Some of the top double pushchairs or prams can be made into various seats to meet your changing needs. You can accommodate up to three children on the seat board, or two toddlers in the seats, while still having enough space for a shopping bag. Accessories such as rain covers are also available. Convertible double strollers are generally heavier and larger than single pushchairs because they have to hold two or more children. The Graco Modes Nest2Grow convertible is an example of an affordable convertible that is simple to use. However, our test participants thought it was quite heavy for its price.

Some double stroller with bassinet strollers that can be converted into convertibles like the Baby Jogger City Select 2 include a carrycot suitable for babies. This reduces the size of the double stroller when it is not in use and makes it more compact. The City Select's innovative, one-handed folding impressed our test participants, but it takes some practice. It's also extremely fluid and agile in spite of its size.

Another option that is reasonably priced 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 seat and the bassinet option is a great choice for infants (although keep in mind that infants under 4 months old should not sleep in strollers because of the risk of positional asphyxia).

For greater flexibility, opt for a dual-mode convertible such as the iCandy Peach. This is a narrow double stroller that can accommodate two children in a tandem. It can also be used to create a tandem by adding a second seating kit. It is nimble and responsive, and our test users were impressed by its sleek design. It's not as light like some of the other models on our list but it comes with a big basket that is useful for parents who have to carry bags full of toys and food items.

Lightweight

Some parents like to future-proof their double buggy when they have one child and are expecting another, so a convertible option is an excellent choice. The iCandy Peach can be converted from a single pushchair a double with the addition of a toddler seat, or the brand's carrycot (which works well to sleep at night). The seats are extremely comfortable and our test subjects love that they can recline in various positions. They also love the fact that the canopy has an open window that can be seen from afar and has UPF 50+ protection. The rear seat can also be raised to provide a standing platform for the older child to climb on and off, so they can reach things in the shopping basket.

The only issue with the iCandy Peach is that it is quite heavy. However, Cher felt it was balanced by its ease to move around and how big the storage area is with two hanging child and parent cup holders, seat-back pockets and an enormous underseat basket. She also liked the fact that the seats are convertible, which means they can be placed to face each other for siblings who want to talk and get together while out and out and about.

A lighter and equally impressive option is the Delta Children LX side-by-side stroller that weighs only 18 pounds, is extremely compact and features a self-standing fold, making it easy to transport and put in your trunk or at home. Parents love the quality of materials and workmanship, and the low price. The only downside is that the seats don't recline as far as the other models we've tried, and the rear seat doesn't have great visibility due to its position that is higher than the front seat.

The Joolz Geo 3 is another popular option. It is slim, sleek and easy to steer, and comes with a lifetime warranty. Although they are smaller than side-by-side strollers, they can be wider than tandems and inline doubles. This makes them difficult to maneuver on busy streets and in shops. However, they are often shorter, which means they can be more maneuverable in tight spaces than tandems.
