Choosing a double pram and pushchair [Read Much more]

A double pram can make life easier for families, especially in busy shops or on busy streets. Pick a model with ample storage space to store nappies snacks, nappies, and other essentials.

Some parents who are new to the world choose a future-proof pushchair twin that can be used as a single stroller once baby is born, and transformed into a twin-mode after he or she arrives. Joolz offers a variety of these options.

Tandem

The announcement that you are expecting a child is among the most exciting events in life. However, once the excitement fades and reality sinks into your life, you'll be faced with a myriad of decisions about how to prepare your family for the arrival of your new 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 timeless design with two seats or pram bassinets that are arranged side by side. The front seat, which is usually cushioned, reclines and is suitable for infants. The second seat is a bit higher and designed to accommodate toddlers as young as 3 years old. Certain models let you select whether your children stare at each other or face each other. Many tandems also have 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.

A tandem is less expensive than a twin pram and can be an ideal choice for parents who want to save money, without compromising safety or functionality. However, a drawback of a tandem is that it may be a bit heavy and lengthy to steer especially when moving up and down kerbs. Additionally, it is usually less stable than a twin pram, particularly if the older child is seated at 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 option for a single parent who is looking for something that is sleek however the tandem mode can make it feel quite heavy and long when pushing. It features an innovative frame that expands in width to accommodate the second seat, and is compatible with many combinations of buggy seats, carrycots and car seats (two at a time or separately). The iCandy Wave is another lightweight double buggy tandem option that's simple to use and compatible with a variety of carrycots and car seats.

Side by side

When it comes to choosing a double pram or pushchair, there's a lot to consider. Whether you're buying for twins or siblings close 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 configured so that the infant is able to sit in the bassinet in the middle while the older child or toddler is sitting in the second chair.

Some models even have reversible seats, which means you can alter the seating arrangement to suit your family's needs throughout the baby and toddler years. This lets you see your children at all times, and gives them the chance to interact as they walk.

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

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). It is then possible to change to a single pram mode once your baby gets used to the rumble seat or select the car capsule adaptors (PS53) to transform it into a travel system for newborn to toddler.

Another alternative is the Side by Side Pram from Babybee. The double running buggy side-by-side pram is available in a variety of colors and is designed in a contemporary design. The design is intended to be used right from birth, you can add the LUNA newborn cocoon (PS262) or the LUNA infant seats (PS53 each) to ensure your baby is secure and comfortable.

If you're seeking a sleek, stylish pushchair that converts into a side-by-side double then the Egg 2 from Chicco is an excellent choice. It's available in a range of infant and carrycot combinations to cater for twins or siblings of varying ages and is super-easy to fold. It's also fairly light and therefore a good option for people with smaller vehicles or have limited space for storage.

Convertible

The top double prams and pushchairs are able to be used in multiple ways, and some are even able to change into different seat configurations to suit the changing needs of your family. You can fit up to three children on the seat board or two toddlers in the seats, and still have room for a shopping bag. Accessories like rain covers are also available. Typically, convertible double strollers are bigger and heavier than single pushchairs due to the fact that they have to be able to accommodate two or more children. The Graco Modes Nest2Grow is one example of a convertible that is affordable that is extremely user-friendly, but our testers felt that it was a little heavy for the price.

Some double strollers that can be converted into convertibles like the Baby Jogger City Select 2 come with a carrycot suitable for infants. This reduces the size of the double stroller when not in use and makes it more compact. The City Select's innovative single-handed folding impressed our testers but it does require some practice. It is also quite agile and responsive even despite its size.

Another option that is affordable is the Cybex Mockingbird Single-to-Double Stroller. It converts from a parent-facing infant car 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 never be able to sleep in strollers due to the risk of positional asphyxia).

If you're looking for more flexibility Consider a convertible that has dual modes like the iCandy Peach. This is a narrow double buggy side by side buggy that can hold 2 children side by side and can be used as a tandem by the addition of a second seat kit and rider board. It's agile and responsive, and our testers liked its sleek design. It's not as light as some of the other pushchairs on our list however it does come with an enormous shopping basket that is handy for parents carrying bags of toys and groceries.

lightweight double stroller

Convertible double strollers are an excellent option for parents who already have children and anticipate another. The iCandy Peach can be converted from a single pushchair double by the addition of a toddler's seat, or the brand's carrycot (which is ideal to sleep at night). Our testers were pleased with how comfortable the seats are and love the fact that both recline to different positions, come with built-in foot and leg supports 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 shopping basket.

Cher stated that the only negative aspect of the iCandy Peach was its weight. However, she believed that this was compensated for because it is easy to move and offers plenty of storage space and cup holders for parents and children, 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 perfect for siblings who like to interact and talk while out and about.

A lighter-weight but just as impressive option is the Delta Children LX side-by-side stroller that weighs just 18 lbs. It is compact and features a self-standing fold, making it easy to carry and store in your trunk or at home. Parents appreciate the quality of the materials and workmanship and the price is low. The only negatives are that the seats do not recline as well as other models we've tried and the rear seat is not as well-lit due to its location as it is higher than the seat in front.

Another popular choice is the Joolz Geo 3, which is slim sleek, stylish and easy to steer, and comes with an attractive design and lifetime guarantee. Although they are narrower side-by-side prams may be larger than tandems and inline doubles. This can make them difficult to maneuver on busy footpaths and in shops. However, they're generally shorter too, so can be easier to turn in tight spaces than tandems.
