Choosing a Double Pram and Pushchair

A well-designed double pram or pushchair can simplify family life, especially on busy footpaths or in shops and stores. Find a model that has ample storage space to store nappies, snacks and other essentials.

Some parents who are new to the world choose a future-proof pushchair that can be used as a single stroller at the time baby is born, and transformed into a twin-mode when the baby is born. Joolz has a variety of choices.

Tandem

The announcement that you are expecting a baby is one of life's most exciting experiences. Once the excitement has worn off and the reality of the situation begins to set in, you'll have to make a number of decisions regarding how you can prepare your family. 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 typically cushioned and reclines to a flat position, making it suitable for newborns and the second seat is more upright and can accommodate toddlers from around three years old. Some models let you choose whether your children look at each other or outwards. Many tandems can be made into a single pushchair when your oldest child is no longer required to have the second seat.

A tandem is cheaper than twin prams and is an excellent choice for parents who want to save money, but without having to sacrifice safety or functional. However, one disadvantage of a tandem is that it can be a bit heavy and lengthy to steer, especially when you're bumping up or down kerbs. Additionally, it is often less stable than a twin pram, especially if the child who is older is sitting in the front. A tandem isn't always easy to fit on public transportation, and it can be difficult to navigate narrow roads.

The iCandy Peach, a popular model with a focus on image, is a fantastic choice for parents with one child who want an attractive style. However, the tandem mode makes it feel heavy and long to push. It features an innovative frame that expands widthways to accommodate the second seat, and it can be used with a variety of combinations of carrycots, buggy seats 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 carrycots and car seats.

Side by side

There are many aspects to think about when selecting a double pram or pushchair. Whether you're buying for twins or siblings who are close in age, there are a number of configuration options to take into account. Tandem prams, also known as side-by-side prams, are popular choices due to the fact that they can be set up in a way that the infant can sit in the bassinet on top while the older child or toddler is sitting in the second chair.

Some models have reversible seating that allow you to customize the layout of your family during the baby and toddler years. This lets you keep your little ones always in your sight and also gives them a an opportunity to interact with each other as they stroll.

Tandem prams can be jogging buggies or all-terrain buggies. They are perfect for outdoor excursions, such as to the park. They're also ideal for narrow aisles or checkouts in shops and supermarkets as they are less bulky.

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

The Side by Side Pram from Babybee is a different option. This double side-byside pram comes in a range of colors and is designed in a contemporary design. It is designed to be used right from birth, you can add the LUNA newborn cocoon (PS262) or the LUNA infant seats (PS53 each) to ensure your children are comfortable and safe.

If you're seeking a sleek, elegant pushchair that can be converted into a double-sided side-by-side and a side-by-side double, the Egg 2 from Chicco is a great option. It comes in a range of infant seats and carrycots to accommodate twins or siblings with different age groups. It's also incredibly easy to fold. It's also fairly light, which makes it a great choice for those who have small cars or only a little storage space.

Convertible

Some of the best double prams or pushchairs can be made into various seats to accommodate your changing needs. You can fit up to three children on the seat board, or two toddlers in the seats with enough space to carry a shopping bag. Accessories such as rain covers are also available. Most convertible double strollers are larger and heavier than single pushchairs because they have to be able 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 thought it was quite heavy for the money.

Some convertible cheap double buggy strollers like the Baby Jogger City Select 2 has a carrycot option that is suitable for infants. This reduces the size of the double stroller when it is not in use, and makes it smaller. Our test participants were awestruck by the City Select's innovative one-handed fold. However, it takes some time to master. It also feels quite nimble and agile, despite being larger than other double strollers.

The Cybex Mockingbird single-to-double stroller double is another option that is reasonably priced. The seat converts from a car seat with a parent seat to a forward-facing toddler car seat and the bassinet option is a fantastic option for infants (although be aware that babies younger than 4 months old should not use strollers to sleep due to the risk of positional asphyxia).

For more flexibility, look for a convertible with dual modes such as the iCandy Peach. This is a narrow double stroller that is able to accommodate two children at the same time. It can also be used to make a tandem by incorporating a second seat kit. It's nimble and responsive, and our testers liked its sleek design. It's not as light as the other pushchairs we've reviewed however, it comes with an enormous shopping basket that is ideal for parents with bags full of groceries and toys.

Lightweight

Some parents want to ensure the future of their double buggy when they have a child and are expecting another and a convertible model is a good option. The iCandy Peach allows you to transform from a single to a double pushchair with the addition of a toddler seat or the brand's carrycot (which is suitable for sleep overs). Our testers noted the comfort of the seats and loved the fact that they can recline in a variety of positions, come with built-in leg and foot support and have 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.

The only downside to the iCandy Peach is that it is quite heavy. However, Cher believed that it was overcome by its ease to maneuver and how large the storage space is with two hanging child and parent cup holders as well as seat-back pockets, and a large underseat storage basket. She also appreciated the feature that the seats are convertible, which means they can be positioned to face each other for siblings that want to chat and interact together when out and about.

A lighter and equally impressive choice is the Delta Children LX side-by-side stroller that weighs just 18 pounds, is extremely compact and has a self-standing fold that makes it easy to carry and store in your trunk or at home. Parents are impressed by the quality of materials and workmanship, as well as the affordable cost. The only drawbacks are that the seats do not recline as much as other models we've tested and the rear seat isn't as prominent due to its position and height. It is higher than the front seat.

The Joolz Geo 3 is another popular choice. It is slim, sleek and easy to steer and comes with an unbeatable lifetime warranty. It's worth bearing in mind that, despite their smaller size, side by side prams are still larger than tandems and in-line doubles. They may be difficult to navigate through crowded footpaths or in shops. However, they're generally shorter too, so are easier to maneuver in tight spaces than tandems.
