Choosing a Double Pram and Pushchair

A double pram can simplify life for families, especially in busy shops or on busy streets. Choose a model that has plenty of storage space to store nappies snacks, nappies, and other necessities.

Some parents who are new to the family opt for an infant pushchair that can be used as a single stroller when baby is born, and later changed into a twin mode when the baby has arrived. Joolz offers a range of these options.

Tandem

The news that you're expecting to have a baby is among the most exciting times in life. When the excitement wears off and the reality of the situation begins to set in, you will be faced with many choices regarding how you can prepare your family. The right pram or stroller is one of the most important considerations.

Tandem prams, also known as "in-line" double travel stroller prams are a classic style with two bassinets or seats placed side by side. The front seat, which is typically padded, reclines flat and is suitable for babies. The second seat is more upright and designed to accommodate toddlers as young as three years old. Certain models let you decide if your children will look at each other or face each other. Many tandems have the option of being converted into a single to double pushchair pushchair if you decide that your oldest child no longer needs the second seat.

A tandem is more affordable than twin prams and is a great option for parents who wish to save money, but without compromising safety or functionality. However, the drawback of a tandem is that it can be heavy and long to steer especially when moving up and down kerbs. It is often less stable than a twin pushchair, particularly if the older child is seated at the front. A tandem can be difficult to place on public transportation, and it can be difficult to navigate narrow roads.

The iCandy Peach, a popular model that is focused on image, is a fantastic choice for parents with one child who want a sleeker style. However the tandem mode can make it feel long and heavy to push. It has a clever frame that can be expanded to allow the addition of the second seat, and it is compatible with many combinations of carrycots, buggy chairs and car seats (two at a time or separately). The iCandy Wave is another lightweight tandem option that's easy to use and compatible with a range of carrycots and car seats.

Side by side

There are a lot of things to consider when choosing a double pushchair or pram. If you're buying for twins or siblings close in age there are a variety of configuration options to take into account. Tandem prams, also referred to as side-by-side prams are popular options because they can be configured so that the infant is able to sit in the bassinet at the top while the toddler or older child is seated in the second seat.

Some models even feature convertible seats, which means you can alter the seating arrangement to suit your family's needs throughout the toddler and baby years. This lets you keep your children always in your sight and also gives them the chance to get to know each other while they walk.

Tandem prams are jogging buggies as well as all-terrain buggies. They are ideal for outdoor excursions, such as to 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 instance, can be used as a tandem pram starting from birth in the dual mode with the addition of the rumble seat (PS249). When your child grows out of the rumble chair, you can change to one pram mode. You can also opt to use the adaptors for car capsules to transform it from a newborn into a toddler travel system.

Another option is the Side by Side Pram from Babybee. This side-by-side double pram is available in a range of colors and features a beautiful modern style. It is designed to be used from birth, you can add the LUNA newborn Cocoon (PS262) and the LUNA Infant Seats (PS53 each).

The Egg 2 is a stylish elegant pushchair that can be transformed into a double side-by-side. It comes in a range of infant seats and carrycots to accommodate twins or siblings of different ages. It's also incredibly easy to collapse. It's also fairly light making it a great choice for those who have small cars or only a little storage space.

Convertible

The best lightweight double stroller double prams and pushchairs are able to be used in multiple ways and some are able to change into different seating configurations to meet the changing needs of your family. There is the possibility of fitting two toddlers in seats or a third child on the seat board and still have enough space for a shopping basket and the option to add accessories such as rain covers is also a advantage. Most convertible double strollers are bigger and heavier than single pushchairs because they are required to be capable of holding two or more children. The Graco Modes Nest2Grow is one example of an affordable convertible that is extremely easy to use, although our test subjects felt it was a bit heavy for the price.

Some convertible double strollers like the Baby Jogger City Select 2 has a carrycot option which is suitable for newborns. This allows the double stroller to be folded down and reduced in size when not being used. The City Select's innovative single-handed folding impressed our testers, but it takes some time to master. It's also quite agile and responsive, despite it being bigger than double strollers.

The Cybex Mockingbird single to double pushchair-to-double stroller is another affordable option. The seat can be transformed from a child-facing car seat to a forward-facing toddler seat. The bassinet-style mode is a great option for infants.

If you're looking to expand your options look into a convertible with dual modes like the iCandy Peach. This is a narrow double buggy that can fit two children in a row, but it can also be used as a tandem by the addition of a second seat kit and rider board. It's responsive and agile and our testers loved its sleek design. It's not as lightweight as some of the other models on our list but it comes with a big basket that is useful for parents carrying bags filled with 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, so a convertible option is a good option. The iCandy Peach allows you to transform from a single to a double pushchair by the addition of a toddler seat or the brand's carrycot (which is suitable for sleeping at night). Our test subjects were impressed by the comfort of the seats and love the fact that can recline in a variety of positions, feature built-in leg and foot support and large UPF 50+ canopy that has peekaboo windows. The rear seat can also be raised to provide an elevated platform for a child to climb off and on so they can reach items in the shopping basket.

Cher said that the one disadvantage of the iCandy Peach was its weight. But she felt this was offset because it is easy to maneuver and comes with plenty of storage space and cup holders for children and parents as well as seat-back pockets and a large basket underneath the seat. Cher also appreciated the feature that the seats are adjustable, meaning they can be placed to face each other for siblings who want to chat and interact together when out and about.

The Delta Children LX Side-by-Side Stroller is a less heavy option however, it is still awe-inspiring. It weighs only 18 pounds, is compact and features an auto-standing fold, making it easy to carry around or put in your trunk. Parents are impressed by the quality of the materials and craftsmanship as well as the affordable price. The only downsides are that the seats don't recline as much as other models we've tested and the rear seat is not as well-lit due to its location 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 narrower design, side by side prams remain wider than tandem and in-line doubles. They may be difficult to navigate through busy footpaths or in stores. However, they're generally shorter, which means they can be easier to turn in tight spaces than tandems.
