Choosing a Double Pram and Pushchair

A good double buggy for twins pram or pushchair will simplify the lives of families, especially on busy streets or in the shops and stores. Select a model that offers ample storage space for nappies snacks, nappies, and other essentials.

Some first-time parents choose a future-proof pushchair which can be used both as a single stroller when baby is born, and then changed to a twin mode after the baby arrives. Joolz provides a variety of these options.

Tandem

The announcement that you're expecting a child is one of life's most exciting experiences. After the excitement wears off and the reality of the situation begins to set in, you'll be faced with many options for how to prepare your family. One of the most important considerations is choosing the best pram or pushchair.

Tandem prams, also referred as "in-line" double prams, are a classic design with two seats or bassinets placed side by side. The front seat, which is typically padded, reclines flat and is suitable for newborns. The second seat is more upright and designed to fit toddlers as young as 3 years. Some models allow you to decide if your children will look at each other or face each other. Many tandems can be converted to one pushchair once your oldest child is no longer using the second seat.

In terms of cost it is cheaper than a twin stroller pushchair, and is a great option for parents looking to save money without compromising on safety or function. A tandem can be heavy and difficult to steer, especially when bumping over curbs. It's also less stable than twin prams especially when a bigger child is seated in the front. A tandem can be difficult to fit on public transport, and it can be difficult to maneuver narrow pavements.

The iCandy Peach, a popular model with a focus on image, is a great option for parents who are single and want a sleeker design. However, the tandem mode makes it feel long and heavy to push. It comes with an innovative frame that expands in width to allow for the addition of the second seat, and it can be used with a variety of combinations of carrycots, buggy seats and car seats (two at a time or in separate). The iCandy Wave tandem is another lightweight option that's user-friendly and compatible with a variety of car seats or carrycots.

Side by side

When it comes to choosing a double travel buggy pushchair or pram there's a lot to consider. Whether you're buying for twins or other siblings that are similar in age there are plenty of configuration choices to think about. Tandem prams (also known as side by side prams) are popular choices as they can be set up to accommodate infants with a bassinet on top while the older infant or toddler sits in the second seat below.

Some models even feature seats that can be reversible, meaning you can adapt the configuration to meet the needs of your family throughout the baby and toddler years. This allows you to keep your little ones in sight at all times and also gives them a chance to interact with each other as they stroll.

Tandem prams can be jogging buggies or all-terrain buggies. They are ideal for outdoor excursions, like to the park. They're also a great option 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 instance can be used as a tandem pram starting from birth in the dual mode, with the addition of the rumble seat (PS249). It is then possible to switch to the single pram mode once your baby gets used to the rumble seat or choose the adaptors for car capsules (PS53) to turn it into a traveler from infant to toddler.

The Side by Side Pram made by Babybee is another alternative. This double side-byside pram comes in a variety of colors and is designed in a contemporary style. Designed to be used right from birth, you can also add the LUNA newborn cocoon (PS262) or the LUNA infant seats (PS53 each) to ensure your little ones are comfortable and safe.

The Egg 2 is a stylish sleek pushchair that can be converted into a double side-by-side. It's available in a variety of infant and carrycot combinations to accommodate twins or siblings of varying age groups. It's also easy to fold. It is also relatively light and compact, making it a great option for those with smaller vehicles or have limited space to store.

Convertible

The top double prams and pushchairs are able to be used in multiple ways, and some are even capable of changing seat configurations to suit the changing needs of your family. It is possible to fit two toddlers in a seat or a third rider on the seat board, and still have room for a basket to store your shopping, and the option to add accessories such as rain covers is a advantage. Most convertible double strollers are bigger and heavier than single pushchairs due to the fact that they have to be capable of holding two or more children. The Graco Modes Nest2Grow convertible is an example of an affordable convertible that is simple to use. However, our reviewers found it to be a bit heavy for the price.

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 buggy travel system - content, stroller when it is not being used and makes it smaller. The City Select's innovative folding system that is one-handed impressed our testers but it does require some time to master. It's also very nimble and responsive, despite being bigger than other double strollers.

The Cybex Mockingbird single-to-double buggy from birth stroller is another option that is reasonably priced. It can be converted from a rear-facing infant car seat to a forward-facing toddler seat and the bassinet option is a great choice for infants (although be aware that babies younger than 4 months old should never sleep in strollers because of the danger of asphyxia from position).

To be more flexible, opt for a convertible that has dual modes such as the iCandy Peach. It's a small double buggy that can hold two children side-by-side and can be used as a tandem with the addition of a second-seat kit and rider board. It is agile and responsive, and our test users loved its sleek design. It's not as light as some of the other pushchairs we've reviewed, but it offers a large shopping basket which is handy for parents carrying bags of toys and groceries.

Lightweight

Some parents prefer to secure their double pushchair if they have a child and are expecting another so a convertible option is a good option. The iCandy Peach can be converted from a single pushchair into double with the addition of a toddler seat, or the brand's carrycot (which works well for overnight sleeping). The seats are extremely comfortable and our testers love that they can recline in a variety of positions. They also appreciate the fact that the canopy has an open window that can be seen from afar and has UPF 50+ protection. The rear seat can be raised high so that the child who is older can stand on it to reach the shopping basket.

The only drawback of the iCandy Peach is that it is quite heavy, however Cher believed that this was balanced by how easy it is to manoeuvre and how spacious the storage area is with two hanging child and parent cup holders as well as seat-back pockets, and a large underseat storage basket. Cher also appreciated the seat's design, which is adjustable, meaning they can be set to face each other for siblings who wish to chat and interact together while out and about.

The Delta Children LX Side-by-Side Stroller is a lighter option however, it is still awe-inspiring. It weighs only 18 pounds, is lightweight and features a self standing fold, making it easy to carry around or put in your trunk. Parents appreciate the high-quality materials and workmanship, as well as the affordable cost. The only drawback is that the seats don't recline as far as the other models we've examined and the rear seat doesn't have great visibility due to its positioning - it's raised 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. Although they are narrower than side-by-side strollers, they can be more spacious than tandems and inline doubles. This makes them difficult to maneuver on busy streets and in shops. They are also shorter, making them more maneuverable in tight spaces.
