Choosing a Double Pram and Pushchair

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

Some parents who are new to the world choose a future-proof pushchair that can be used both as a single stroller when baby is born, and then changed to a twin mode after he or she arrives. Joolz offers a wide range of choices.

Tandem

The announcement that you are expecting a baby is among life's most exciting experiences. However, once the excitement of the beginning fades and reality begins to sink in, you could be faced with a multitude of decisions regarding how to prepare your family for the arrival of your baby one or ones. One of the most important considerations is choosing the best pram or pushchair.

Tandem prams (also called "in-line" double prams) are a classic style that have two seats or pram bassinets arranged side by side. The front seat, which is usually padded, reclines flat and is suitable for babies. The second seat is a bit higher and designed to accommodate toddlers as young as 3 years. Some models have reversible seating so you can decide if your children face one another or look at you. A lot of tandems offer the option of being converted into a single pushchair in the event that you decide your oldest child no longer needs the second seat.

In terms of price, a tandem is much cheaper than a twin strollers for newborns pushchair, and can be an excellent choice for parents looking to save money, but not compromise on safety or convenience. A tandem can be a bit heavy and difficult to steer, especially when bumping over the kerbs. It's also less stable than twin prams especially when a bigger child is riding in the front. A tandem can be difficult to place on public transportation, and it can be difficult to navigate narrow pavements.

The iCandy Peach, a popular model that is focused on image, is a fantastic option for parents with one child who want an elegant design. However the tandem mode makes it feel a bit heavy and long to push. It's got a frame that expands in size to accommodate a second seat. It can be used with a range of combinations of buggy seats, car 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 range of car seats or carrycots.

Side by side

When it comes to choosing a double pushchair or pram there's plenty 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 sides prams) are a popular choice since they can be configured to fit infants in a bassinet on the top, while the larger infant or toddler sits in the seat below.

Some models even have seats that can be reversible, meaning you can adapt the configuration to your family's requirements throughout the baby and toddler years. This lets you be able to watch your children at all times, and allows them to interact when they walk.

Tandem prams are often All Terrain Double Buggy-terrain buggies or jogging ones that is why they're great for outdoor adventures and in the park. They're also a great option for those who have to navigate narrow aisles in the supermarket or at checkouts as they tend to be more compact than single-seaters.

The Redsbaby JIVE3 Pram, for instance can be used as a tandem pram starting from birth in dual mode, with the addition of the rumble seat (PS249). If your child is no longer a member of the rumble seat, you can switch to a single pram mode. You may also opt to make use of the car capsule adaptors to transform 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 range of colors and features an elegant modern design. Designed to be used from the moment of birth, you can choose to add the LUNA newborn cocoon (PS262) or the LUNA infant seats (PS53 each) to ensure that your baby is safe and comfy.

If you're looking for a sleek, stylish pushchair that converts into a side-by-side double, the Egg 2 from Chicco is an excellent choice. It's available in a variety of infant seat and carrycot combinations to cater for twins or siblings of different age groups. It's also easy to fold. It's also light and therefore a good choice for those who have little space in their cars or don't have enough space for storage.

Convertible

The best double prams and pushchairs are versatile and some are capable of changing seating arrangements to meet the changing needs of your family. It is possible to fit up to three children on the seat board, or two toddlers in the seats, with enough space for a shopping bag. Accessories such as rain covers are also available. Convertible double strollers tend to be heavier and larger than single pushchairs due to the fact that they need to hold two or more children. The Graco Modes Nest2Grow is one example of an affordable convertible that is extremely user-friendly, however our test subjects felt it was a bit heavy for its 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 compacted and reduced in size when not used. Our test participants were awestruck by the City Select's innovative one-handed fold. However, it does take some time to master. It is also quite agile and responsive in spite of its size.

The Cybex Mockingbird single and double stroller-to-double stroller is another affordable option. It can be converted from a parent-facing infant car seat to an forward-facing toddler seat. The bassinet-style mode is a great option for infants.

To be more flexible, opt for a convertible that has dual modes like the iCandy Peach. It's a small double buggy that can fit two 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 the other pushchairs we've reviewed however it does come with a large shopping basket which is ideal for parents with bags full of groceries and toys.

Lightweight

Convertible double strollers are a great option for parents who already have a child and expect to have another. The iCandy Peach allows you to transform from a single to a double travel buggy pushchair with the addition of an infant seat or the brand's carrycot (which is suitable for overnight sleeping). Our testers noted how comfortable the seats are and loved the fact that both recline to different positions, have built-in leg and foot support and large UPF 50+ canopy that has windows that peek out. The rear seat can be lifted high to offer a standing platform for a child to climb off and on, so that they can reach items in the basket of groceries.

The only drawback of the iCandy Peach is that it is quite heavy, but Cher found that this was offset by the ease to maneuver and how large the storage space is with two hanging child and parent cup holders with seat-back pockets as well as a large underseat basket. Cher also appreciated the seat's design, which is convertible, which means they can be positioned to face each other for siblings that want to chat and interact together when out and about.

A lighter and equally impressive choice is the Delta Children LX side-by-side stroller that weighs just 18 lbs. It is compact double buggy and features an auto-standing fold that makes it easy to transport and put in your trunk or at home. Parents love the quality of materials and workmanship, and the price. The only drawback is that the seats don't recline as far as other models we've tried and the rear seat isn't very well-lit due to its positioning that 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 a lifetime guarantee. It's worth bearing in mind that despite their narrower design Side by side prams are more spacious than tandem and in-line doubles and can 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.
