Choosing a Double Pram and Pushchair

A double pushchairs pram can simplify the lives of families, particularly in busy stores or on busy streets. Choose a model with ample storage space to store nappies, snacks and other essentials.

Some first-time parents opt for an infant pushchair that can be used as a single stroller when bub is born and then changed into a twin mode when the baby is born. Joolz provides a variety of these options.

Tandem

The news that you're about to have to have a baby is among the most exciting events in life. After the excitement wears off and the reality of the situation kicks in, you will be faced with a variety of decisions regarding how to prepare your family. One of the most important aspects to consider is choosing the correct pram or pushchair.

Tandem prams (also called 'in-line' double prams) are a classic style that have two bassinets or seats for prams arranged side by side. The front seat, which is usually cushioned, reclines and is suitable for babies. The second seat is upright and designed to fit toddlers as young as 3 years. Some models allow you to choose whether your children look at each other or outwards. Many tandems also have the option of being converted into a single pushchair if you decide your oldest child doesn't require the second seat.

In terms of price the tandem is cheaper than a twin pushchair, and can be a great choice for parents who want to save money without compromising on safety or functionality. A tandem can be heavy and difficult to steer, particularly when bumping over curbs. It's also less stable than twin prams particularly if a larger child is riding in the front. A tandem can be difficult to fit on public transport, and it may be difficult to navigate narrow roads.

The iCandy Peach is a popular image-conscious model that's a great option for a single parent looking for a sleeker design however the tandem mode can make it feel quite long and heavy when pushing. It comes with frames that can be expanded 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 a time or separately). The iCandy Wave is another lightweight tandem option that's easy to use and compatible with a variety of carrycots and car seats.

Side by side

When it comes to choosing a double pram or pushchair there's a lot to think about. There are many configuration options available, whether you're buying for twins or close-in-age siblings. Tandem prams (also known as side by side prams) are a popular choice since they can be configured to accommodate infants in a bassinet at the top, while the older toddler or infant sits in the lower seat below.

Some models have reversible seats that let you customize the layout of your family members throughout the infant and toddler years. This allows you to keep your little ones always in your sight and also gives them the chance 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 are also great for narrow aisles or checkouts in supermarkets and shops because they are more compact.

The Redsbaby JIVE3 Pram, for example, can be used as a tandem pram right from birth in dual mode by adding the use of the rumble seat (PS249). You can then change to a single pram mode once your child is old enough to leave the rumble seat or select the car capsule adaptors (PS53) to transform it into a traveler from infant to toddler.

The Side by Side Pram made by Babybee is another alternative. This double side-by-side pram comes in a range of colors and is designed with a modern style. It is designed to be used from the moment of birth, you can include the LUNA newborn Cocoon (PS262) and the LUNA Infant Seats (PS53 each).

If you're looking for a sleek, stylish pushchair that converts into a side-byside double, the Egg 2 from Chicco is a great option. It's available in a range of carrycot and infant seat combinations to accommodate twins or siblings of various ages and is super-easy to fold. It is also relatively lightweight and therefore a good option for people with little space in their cars or don't have enough space for storage.

Convertible

Some of the best double buggy with car seat prams or pushchairs are configured into different seats to accommodate 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 room for a shopping bag. Accessories such as rain covers are also available. Convertible double strollers tend to be heavier and bulkier than single pushchairs, as they are designed to accommodate two or more children. The Graco Modes Nest2Grow convertible is an example of an affordable convertible that is simple to use. However, our test participants thought it was a bit heavy for the money.

Some convertible double strollers like the Baby Jogger City Select 2 have a carrycot that is suitable for infants. This allows the double stroller to be compacted and reduced in size when not being used. The City Select's innovative folding system that is one-handed impressed our test participants, but it takes some practice. It's also very nimble and responsive, despite being bigger than other double strollers.

Another affordable option is an option that is affordable is the Cybex Mockingbird Single-to-Double Stroller. The seat converts from a rear-facing infant car seat to a forward-facing toddler seat and the bassinet option is a great option for infants (although be aware that babies younger than 4 months old should never be able to sleep in strollers due to the risk of asphyxia in a position).

If you want more flexibility, consider a dual-mode convertible like the iCandy Peach. It's a compact double stroller that can hold two children side-by-side. It can also be used to make a tandem by incorporating a second hand double buggy seat kit. It is responsive and nimble and our testers loved its sleek design. It's not as light as the other pushchairs in our list however, it comes with an ample shopping basket that is great for parents who carry bags of groceries and toys.

Lightweight

Convertible double strollers are an excellent option for parents who have children and anticipate the arrival of a second. 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 sleep overs). Our testers noted the comfort of the seats and loved the fact that they both recline to multiple positions, come with built-in leg and foot supports and large UPF 50+ canopies with windows that peek out. The rear seat can be raised to allow the child of a higher age can stand on it to reach the shopping basket.

Cher said that the only negative aspect of the iCandy Peach was its weight. But she felt this was offset because it is easy to maneuver and has plenty of storage and cup holders for parents and their children as well as seat-back pockets and a large basket underneath the seat. Cher also liked that seats can be flipped so that they be positioned to face each other, which is ideal for siblings who like to chat and have conversations while out and out and about.

The Delta Children LX Side-by-Side Stroller is a less heavy option and still impressive. It weighs only 18 pounds, is small and features a self standing fold, making it simple to carry around or put in your trunk. Parents love the quality of the materials and workmanship and the price is low. The only downsides are that the seats do not recline as much compared to other models we have tested and the rear seat isn't as prominent due to its location - it is raised higher than the first seat.

Another popular choice is the Joolz Geo 3, which is slim sleek, stylish and easy to steer, with an appealing design and a lifetime guarantee. It's important to keep in mind that, despite their slimmer design side by side prams are wider than tandem and in-line doubles. They may be difficult to navigate through busy footpaths or in stores. They're also shorter, making them easier to maneuver in tight spaces.
