Choosing a Double Pram and Pushchair

A double pram can make life easier for families, particularly in bustling shopping centers or on busy streets. Select a model that offers ample storage space for nappies as well as snacks and other essentials.

Some first-time parents choose a pushchair that is future-proof and 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're expecting the birth of a child is one of the most exciting events in life. When the excitement wears off and the reality of the situation sets in, you will have to make a number of decisions regarding how to prepare your family. The right pram or stroller is among the most crucial considerations.

Tandem prams, also referred to as "in-line" double prams are a classic design with two bassinets or chairs placed side by side. The front seat is usually padded and reclines to a flat angle, making it suitable for infants and the second seat is more upright and can accommodate toddlers from around three years old. Some models come with seats that can be reversible, so you can decide if your children face each other or look out at you. Many tandems have the option of being converted into a single to double buggy pushchair if you decide that your oldest child no longer needs the second seat.

A tandem is more affordable than a twin pram and can be an excellent choice for parents looking to save money, without compromising safety or functionality. A tandem can be heavy and difficult to steer, particularly when you're tripping over the kerbs. It's also less stable than twin stroller prams, especially if an older child is riding in the front. A tandem isn't always easy to fit on public transportation, and it can be difficult to maneuver narrow pavements.

The iCandy Peach, a popular model with a focus on image, is a great alternative for parents with one child who want an elegant appearance. However the tandem mode makes it feel a bit heavy and long to push. It comes with an expanded frame that increases in size to accommodate a second seat. It can be used with a range of combinations of car seats, buggy seats and carrycots (two at one time or in separate). The iCandy Wave tandem is another lightweight option that's easy-to-use and compatible with a variety of car seats and carrycots.

Side by side

When it comes to choosing a double buggy newborn pushchair or pram there's a lot to think about. If you're buying a double pram for twins or other siblings that are similar in age there are a variety of configuration options to take into account. Tandem prams, referred to as side-by-side prams, are popular choices due to the fact that they can be set up so that the infant can sit in the bassinet on top while the toddler or older child is seated in the second seat.

Some models come with convertible seats, which means you can modify the seating to suit your family's needs throughout the toddler and baby years. This allows you to see your children at all times, and gives them the chance to connect with them as they walk.

Tandem prams are jogging buggies as well as all-terrain buggies. They are great for outdoor excursions, like to the park. They're also a good choice when you have to traverse narrow checkout aisles or isles in supermarkets, as they are generally smaller than single-seaters.

The Redsbaby JIVE3 Pram, for example, can be used as a tandem pram right from birth in the dual mode by adding the use of the rumble seat (PS249). When your child grows out of the rumble seat, you can switch to one pram mode. You can also opt to use the adaptors for car capsules to convert it from a newborn to toddler travel system.

Another option is the Side by Side Pram from Babybee. The side-by-side double pram is available in a variety of colours and has a beautiful 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 is able to be converted into a double side-by-side. It's available in a variety of infant seat and carrycot combinations to cater for twins or siblings of varying age groups and is easy to fold. It's also relatively lightweight, which makes it a great choice for those who have small double buggy cars or only a little storage space.

Convertible

Some of the best 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, with room for shopping bags. Accessories like rain covers are also available. Convertible double strollers tend to be heavier and bulkier than single pushchairs because they are designed to accommodate two or more children. The Graco Modes Nest2Grow convertible is an example of an affordable convertible that is easy to use. However, our test participants found it to be a bit heavy for the money.

Some convertible double strollers, like the Baby Jogger City Select 2, have a carrycot option which is suitable for newborns. This helps to reduce the size of the double stroller when it is not being used and makes it smaller. The City Select's clever, one-handed folding impressed our testers, but it takes some practice. It's also extremely fluid and agile even despite its size.

Another option that is reasonably priced is the Cybex Mockingbird Single-to-Double Stroller. The seat can be transformed from a parent facing infant car seat to a forward-facing toddler seat. The bassinet-style mode is a great choice for infants.

If you want more flexibility, consider a dual-mode convertible like the iCandy Peach. This is a narrow double stroller that is able to accommodate two children side-by-side. It can also be used to make a tandem by adding a second seating kit. It is responsive and nimble, and our testers liked its sleek design. It's not as light as some of the other pushchairs we've reviewed, but it offers an enormous shopping basket that is handy for parents carrying bags full of toys and groceries.

Lightweight

Convertible double strollers are a great option for parents who already have one child and are expecting the arrival of a second. The iCandy Peach can be converted from a single pushchair into double with the addition of a toddler's seat or the brand's carrycot (which is great for overnight sleeping). Our testers noted how comfortable the seats are and adore the fact that both recline to multiple positions, have built-in leg and foot support and have UPF 50+ canopy that has windows that peek out. The rear seat can also be elevated to provide a a standing platform for the older child to get off and on so they can access items in the shopping basket.

Cher stated that the only downside of the iCandy Peach was its weight. However, she believed that this was compensated for because it's easy to move and offers plenty of storage space and cup holders for parents and children, seat-back pockets, and a large basket under the seat. Cher also loved that the seats can be turned so that they face each other. This is ideal for siblings who like to chat and have conversations when they are out and out and about.

A lighter and equally impressive option is the Delta Children LX side-by-side stroller, which weighs only 18 lbs. It is compact and has a self-standing fold, making it easy to carry and store in your trunk or at home. Parents appreciate the high-quality materials and workmanship, and the affordable cost. The only downside is that the seats don't recline as far as the other models we've tested and the rear seat doesn't have great visibility due to its positioning - it's raised higher than the front seats.

The Joolz Geo 3 is another popular option. It is slim, sleek, easy to steer, and comes with an unbeatable lifetime warranty. It's important to keep in mind that, despite their slimmer design Side by side prams are still more spacious than tandem and in-line doubles. They can be tricky to navigate on crowded footpaths or in shops. They are also smaller which makes them more maneuverable in tight spaces.
