Choosing a Double Pram and Pushchair

A good double pram or pushchair can simplify family life, especially on busy streets or in the shops and stores. Choose a model that has ample storage space to store nappies snacks, nappies, and other necessities.

Some parents who are first-time parents choose an infant pushchair that can be used as a single stroller when bub is born and then converted into a twin mode when the baby has arrived. Joolz has a variety of options.

Tandem

The news that you're expecting to have a baby is among the most exciting moments in life. However, once the excitement of the beginning fades and reality sinks in, you may be faced with a variety of decisions about how to prepare your family for the arrival of your little one or one. One of the most important considerations is choosing the best compact double stroller pram or pushchair.

Tandem prams, also referred to as "in-line" double prams, are a classic style with two seats or bassinets placed side by side. The front seat is typically cushioned 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 let you choose whether your children look at each other or outwards. Many tandems have the option to convert into a single pushchair in the event that you decide that your child's oldest no longer needs the second seat.

In terms of price, a tandem is much cheaper than a twin pushchair and can be a great choice for parents who want to save money but not compromising on safety or function. However, one disadvantage of a tandem is that it can feel long and heavy to steer especially when moving up and down kerbs, and it is generally less stable than a twin pushchairs pram, especially if the child with the most weight is sitting in the front. A tandem can be difficult to fit on public transportation, and it can be difficult to navigate narrow pavements.

The iCandy Peach is a popular image-conscious model that's a great option for a single parent who wants something streamlined however, the tandem mode can make it feel quite long and heavy when pushing. It comes with a frame that expands in width to accommodate the second seat. It can be used with a variety of car seats, buggy seats and carrycots (two at simultaneously 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 plenty to consider. Whether you're buying for twins or other siblings that are similar in age, there are a number of configuration options to take into account. Tandem prams (also called side by sides prams) are popular choices as they can be set up to fit infants in a bassinet at the top, while the larger toddler or infant is in the seat below.

Some models even have reversible seats, which means you can adapt the configuration to suit your family's needs throughout the baby and toddler years. This lets you keep your little ones always in your sights 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 perfect for outdoor excursions, like to the park. They're also ideal 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 from birth in dual mode with the addition of the rumble seat (PS249). You can then change to a single pram mode once your baby is old enough to leave the rumble seat or choose the adaptors for car capsules (PS53) to transform it into a travel system from newborn to toddler.

The Side by Side Pram by Babybee is another alternative. This side-by-side double buggy with car seat pram is available in a variety of colors and features a beautiful modern style. Designed to be used right from birth, you can also include the LUNA newborn Cocoon (PS262) and the LUNA Infant Seats (PS53 each).

If you're looking for a sleek, elegant pushchair that can be converted into a side-byside double, the Egg 2 from Chicco is a great option. It comes in a range of infant seats and carrycots to accommodate twins or siblings of different age groups. It's also incredibly easy to collapse. It's also fairly lightweight and therefore a good option for people with smaller vehicles or have limited space to store.

Convertible

Some of the top double prams or pushchairs can be made into various seats to accommodate your changing needs. There is the possibility of fitting two toddlers in a seat or even a third one on the seat board and still have room for a shopping basket, and the capability to add additional accessories such as rain covers is another advantage. Convertible double strollers tend to be heavier and bulkier than single pushchairs, as they need to hold two or more children. The Graco Modes Nest2Grow is one instance of a low-cost convertible that is user-friendly, but our test subjects felt it was a little heavy for the money.

Some convertible double strollers like the Baby Jogger City Select 2 come with a carrycot suitable for infants. This allows the double stroller to be folded down and reduced in size when it is not used. The City Select's clever, one-handed folding impressed our test participants however it requires some practice. It's also quite agile and agile, despite being larger than double strollers.

The Cybex Mockingbird single and double stroller-to-double stroller is another option that is reasonably priced. It can be transformed from a parent facing infant car seat to a forward-facing toddler seat. The bassinet feature is a great option for infants.

For greater flexibility, opt for a dual-mode convertible such as 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 adding a second seat kit. It's responsive and agile and our test participants loved its sleek design. It's not as light as the other pushchairs we've reviewed however it does come with an enormous shopping basket that is great for parents who carry bags of toys and food.

Lightweight

Convertible double strollers are a great option for parents who already have a child and expect the arrival of a second. The iCandy Peach can be converted from a single And double Stroller pushchair to double by the addition of a toddler seat, or the brand's carrycot (which is great for overnight sleeping). Our testers were pleased with how comfortable the seats are and loved the fact that can recline in a variety of positions, have built-in leg and foot support and large UPF 50+ canopy that has peekaboo windows. The rear seat can also be lifted high to offer a standing platform for the child to get off and on, so that they can reach items in the shopping basket.

Cher stated that the only negative aspect of the iCandy Peach was its weight. However, she believed this was offset because it is easy to maneuver and has plenty of storage, including two cup holders for parents and children seats-back pockets, as well as a large basket underneath the seat. Cher also appreciated the fact that the seats are convertible, which means they can be positioned to face one another for siblings that want to talk and interact while out and out and about.

The Delta Children LX Side-by-Side Stroller is a smaller model however, it is still awe-inspiring. It weighs only 18 pounds, is small and features an auto-standing fold, making it simple to carry around or put in your trunk. Parents appreciate the high-quality materials and workmanship, and the affordable price. The only downside is that the seats don't recline as far as other models we've examined and the back seat isn't as well-lit due to its position that is higher than the front seat.

Another popular option is the Joolz Geo 3, which is slim and sleek. It is also easy to steer, with an appealing design and a lifetime guarantee. It is important to remember that despite their narrower design, side by side prams are still more spacious than tandem and in-line doubles. They may be difficult to navigate on crowded footpaths or in shops. However, they're usually shorter too, so are easier to maneuver in tight spaces than tandems.
