Choosing a Double Pram and Pushchair

A double pram or pushchair will simplify family life, especially on busy streets or in the 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 family opt for a future proof pushchair that can be used as a single pram once baby is born. It can be converted into a twin mode when the baby has arrived. Joolz provides a variety of these options.

Tandem

The announcement that you're expecting a baby is one of the most exciting times in your life. After the excitement wears off and the reality of the situation begins to set in, you will have to make a number of decisions regarding how you can prepare your family. The right pram or stroller is one of the most important things to consider.

Tandem prams (also known as "in-line" double prams) are a classic design that feature two bassinets or seats for prams arranged side by side. The front seat, which is usually cushioned, reclines flat and is suitable for newborns. The second seat is upright and designed to accommodate toddlers as young as three years old. Certain models feature reversible seating so you can decide if your children face towards each other or gaze at you. Many tandems can be made into one pushchair once your oldest child is no longer in need of the second seat.

A tandem is less expensive than twin umbrella stroller prams and can be a great option for parents who want to save money, without having to sacrifice safety or functional. A tandem can be a bit heavy and difficult to steer, particularly when negotiating the kerbs. It's also less stable than twin pushchairs particularly if a larger child is seated in the front. A tandem can be difficult to fit on public transport, and it can be difficult to navigate narrow roads.

The iCandy Peach, a popular model with a focus on image, is a fantastic alternative for parents who are single and want an elegant design. However, the tandem mode makes it feel heavy and long to push. It comes with a clever frame that can be expanded to accommodate the second seat, and 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 a lot of things to take into consideration when selecting a double pushchair or pram. If you're buying for twins or siblings close in age, there are a number of configuration choices to think about. Tandem prams, also referred to as side-by-side prams are popular options because they can be set up so that the infant is able to sit in the bassinet at the top while the toddler or older child is sitting in the second seat.

Certain models come with reversible seats that allow you to customize the seating arrangement for your family members throughout the infant and toddler years. This allows you to keep your children in sight at all times and also gives them a an opportunity to interact with one another as they walk.

Tandem prams are typically jogging or all-terrain buggies that is why they're great for outdoor adventures and the park. They are also great for narrow aisles or checkouts in supermarkets and shops, as they are less bulky.

The Redsbaby JIVE3 pram for example can be used in tandem mode right from birth, with the addition of an Rumble seat. (PS249) You can then change to a single pram mode when your little one gets used to the rumble seat, or use the car capsule adaptors (PS53) to turn it into a travel system for newborn to toddler.

The Side by Side Pram made by Babybee is another alternative. The double side-by-side pram is available in a variety of colors and is designed in a contemporary design. Designed 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 your little ones are secure and comfortable.

If you're seeking a sleek, stylish pushchair that converts into a side-by-side double, the Egg 2 from Chicco is an excellent choice. It is available in a variety of infant and carrycots to accommodate twins or siblings with different age groups. It is also super-easy to collapse. It's also relatively lightweight, which makes it an ideal choice for families who have small cars or only a little storage space.

Convertible

Some of the best double prams or pushchairs are configured into different seats to meet your changing needs. It is possible to fit up to three children on the seat board, or two toddlers in the seats and still have enough space to carry shopping bags. Accessories such as rain covers are also available. Typically, convertible double strollers are larger and heavier than single pushchairs double because they must 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 price.

Some double strollers that can be converted into convertibles like the Baby Jogger City Select 2 have a carrycot that is suitable for newborns. This allows the double stroller to be compacted and reduced in size when not being used. Our testers were impressed with the City Select's innovative one-handed fold, though it takes some time to master. It is also quite fluid and agile 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 car seat and the bassinet-style mode is a great choice for infants (although remember that babies under four months old shouldn't be able to sleep in strollers due to the risk of asphyxia in a position).

For more flexibility, look for a dual-mode convertible such as the iCandy Peach. It's a compact double buggy that can fit 2 children side by side, but it can also be used as a tandem by the addition of a second seat kit and rider board. It is responsive and nimble, and our testers liked its sleek design. It's not as light as some of the other pushchairs in our list however, it comes with an enormous shopping basket that is ideal for parents with bags full of groceries and toys.

Lightweight

Convertible double strollers are an excellent option for parents who have one child and are expecting another. The iCandy Peach allows you to transform from a single to a double pushchair, with the addition of an infant seat or the brand's carrycot (which is suitable for overnight sleeping). The seats are very comfortable and our testers love that they can be reclined in multiple positions. They also love the fact that the canopy has a peekaboo window and UPF 50+ protection. The rear seat can also be lifted high to offer an elevated platform for the child to get on and off road double buggy, so they can reach items in the basket of groceries.

The only drawback of the iCandy Peach is that it is quite heavy, but Cher felt this was balanced by its ease to move around and how big the storage area is equipped with two hanging child and parent cup holders, seat-back pockets and a large underseat storage basket. Cher also appreciated that the seats can be reversed to be positioned to face each other, which is perfect for siblings who want to interact and talk while out and out and about.

The Delta Children LX Side-by-Side Stroller is a less heavy option, but still impressive. It weighs only 18 pounds, is lightweight, and has a self standing fold, making it simple to carry around or put in your trunk. Parents are impressed by the quality of the materials and workmanship and the affordable price. The only negatives are that the seats do not recline as much as other models we've tested and the rear seat is not as prominent due to its location and height. It is higher than the first seat.

Another popular option is the Joolz Geo 3, which is slim and sleek. It is also easy to steer, with an attractive design and a lifetime guarantee. Although they are narrower, side-by-side prams can still be more spacious than tandems and inline doubles. This makes them difficult to maneuver on busy streets and in shops. However, they're usually shorter too, so can be more maneuverable in tight spaces than tandems.
