Choosing a Double Pram and Pushchair

A double pram can make life easier for families, particularly in bustling shops or on busy streets. Find a model that has generous storage space for stowing nappies, snacks and other essentials.

Some parents who are first-time parents choose a future proof pushchair that can be used as a single stroller when baby is born. It can be converted into a twin mode after the baby is old enough. Joolz offers a range of these options.

Tandem

The announcement that you are expecting a child is among life's most exciting moments. Once the excitement has worn off and the reality of the situation begins to set in, you'll be faced with a variety of options for how to prepare your family for. The right pram or stroller is among the most crucial considerations.

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 padded, reclines flat and is suitable for newborns. The second seat is a bit higher and is designed to accommodate toddlers as young as three years. Certain models let you decide if your children will look at each other or look outwards. Many tandems can be made into one pushchair once your oldest child is no longer in need of the second seat.

A tandem is cheaper than twin prams and can be an ideal choice for parents who wish to save money, without compromising safety or functionality. However, one disadvantage of a tandem is that it may be a bit heavy and lengthy to steer, especially when you're moving up and down kerbs. Additionally, it is usually less stable than a twin pram especially if the child who is older is seated at the front. A tandem can also be tricky to fit onto public transport and is difficult to maneuver on narrow pavements.

The iCandy Peach, a popular model with a focus on image, is a great alternative for parents who are single and want a sleeker appearance. However the tandem mode can make it feel heavy and long to push. It has an innovative frame that expands widthways to accommodate the second seat, and it can be used with multiple combinations of carrycots, buggy chairs and car seats (two at a time or in separate). The iCandy Wave tandem is another lightweight option that is easy to use and compatible with a range of car seats or carrycots.

Side by side

When it comes to selecting a double pushchairs pram or pushchair there's a lot to consider. There are numerous configuration options available, whether you're purchasing for twins or close-in-age siblings. Tandem prams (also called side by side prams) are popular choices as they can be set up to accommodate infants in a bassinet on the top, while the older toddler or infant sits in the lower seat below.

Some models even feature convertible seats, which means you can adapt the configuration to meet the needs of your family throughout the toddler and baby years. This lets you keep your children always in your sight and also gives them a an opportunity to interact with one another as they walk.

Tandem prams can be jogging buggies, or all-terrain buggies. They are great for outdoor excursions, such as to the park. They're also a good option for those who have to navigate narrow checkout aisles or isles in supermarkets because they tend to be smaller than single to double buggy-seaters.

The Redsbaby JIVE3 Pram, for example, can be used as a tandem pram starting from birth in the dual mode by adding the use of the rumble seat (PS249). If your child is no longer a member of the rumble chair you can switch to the single pram mode. You can also opt to use the adaptors for car capsules to convert it from a newborn to a toddler travel system.

Another alternative is the Side by Side Pram from Babybee. The side-by-side double pram is available in a variety of colours and has an attractive modern style. Designed to be used right from the moment of birth, you can include the LUNA Cocoon for newborns (PS262) and the LUNA Infant Seats (PS53 each).

The Egg 2 is a stylish sleek pushchair that can be transformed into a double side-by-side. It comes in a range of infant and carrycots to accommodate twins or siblings of different ages. It's also incredibly easy to collapse. It's also quite light making it an ideal option for those with smaller cars or a limited 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 two toddlers in a seat or even a third one on the seat board and have enough space for a basket to store your shopping, and the ability to add accessories such as rain covers is another advantage. Typically, convertible double strollers are larger and heavier than single pushchairs because they are required to be able to accommodate two or more children. The Graco Modes Nest2Grow is one instance of a low-cost convertible which is very user-friendly, but our testers felt that it was a little heavy for its price.

Some convertible double strollers like the Baby Jogger City Select 2 include a carrycot suitable for infants. This allows the double stroller to be compacted and reduced in size when it is not used. Our test participants were awestruck by the City Select's innovative one-handed fold, though it takes some time to master. It's also very nimble and agile, despite being larger than double umbrella stroller strollers.

The Cybex Mockingbird single-to-double stroller is an alternative that is affordable. The seat can be converted from a child-facing car seat to an forward-facing toddler seat. The bassinet feature is a great choice for infants.

For greater flexibility, opt for a convertible that has dual modes like the iCandy Peach. This is a narrow double buggy which can accommodate two children in a row, but it can also be used as a tandem, with the addition of a second-seat kit and rider board. It's nimble and responsive and our testers loved its sleek design. It's not quite as lightweight as the other models on our list but it has a large basket that's great for parents who are carrying bags of toys and other items.

Lightweight

Some parents want to ensure the future of their double pushchair if they have one 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 an infant seat or the brand's carrycot (which is suitable for sleeping at night). The seats are extremely comfortable and our test subjects love the fact that they can recline in a variety of positions. They also appreciate the feature that the canopy comes with a peekaboo window and UPF 50+ protection. The rear seat can also be elevated to provide a an elevated platform for a child to climb on and off, to allow them to reach things in the basket of groceries.

Cher said that the only disadvantage of the iCandy Peach was its weight. However, she felt this was offset because it is easy to maneuver and has plenty of storage sit and stand Double stroller (willysforsale.com) cup holders for parents and their children as well as seat-back pockets and a large basket underneath the seat. Cher also appreciated that seats can be flipped to face each other, which is great for siblings who love to talk and interact when out and out and about.

A lighter and equally impressive option is the Delta Children LX side-by-side stroller that weighs just 18 pounds, is extremely compact and features an auto-standing fold that makes it easy to transport and store in your trunk or at home. Parents love the quality of the materials and workmanship and the affordable price. The only downsides are that the seats do not recline as much compared to other models we've tested and the rear seat is not as visible due to its position - it is raised higher than the seat in front.

The Joolz Geo 3 is another popular option. It is slim, sleek, and easy to steer and has a lifetime warranty. While they're smaller than side-by-side strollers, they can be wider than tandems and inline doubles. This can make them difficult to maneuver on busy streets and in shops. However, they are often shorter too, so are easier to maneuver in tight spaces than tandems.
