Choosing a Double Pram and Pushchair

A double pram or pushchair will simplify the lives of families, especially on busy streets or in stores and shops. Find a model that has generous storage space for stowing nappies, snacks, and other essentials.

Some parents who are new to the family opt for a future-proof pushchair that can be used as a single pram once bub is born and then changed into a twin mode after the baby has arrived. Joolz offers a range of options.

Tandem

The news that you're expecting to have a baby is among the most exciting moments in your life. However, once the excitement fades and the reality sets in, you may be faced with a multitude of decisions about how to prepare your family for the arrival of your little one or ones. One of the most important things to consider is choosing the right pram or pushchair.

Tandem prams (also called 'in-line' double prams) are a classic design with two bassinets or seats for prams arranged side-by-side. The front seat, which is usually cushioned, reclines flat and is suitable for infants. The second seat is more upright and designed to accommodate toddlers as young as 3 years old. Some models let you choose whether your children look at each other or look outwards. Many tandems have the option of converting into a single pushchair when you decide your oldest child doesn't require the second seat.

A tandem is more affordable than a twin pram and can be an excellent choice for parents looking to save money, but without compromising safety or functionality. However, the drawback of a tandem is that it could feel long and heavy to steer especially when bumping up or down kerbs. It is generally less stable than a twin pram especially if the child who is older is sitting in the front. A tandem can be difficult to place on public transport, and it may be difficult to navigate narrow roads.

The iCandy Peach is a popular model that is a good 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 an innovative frame that expands in width to allow the addition of the second seat, and is compatible with many combinations of carrycots, buggy seats and car seats (two at once or separately). The iCandy Wave is another lightweight tandem option that is easy to use and compatible with a variety of carrycots and car seats.

Side by side

There are many aspects to consider when choosing a double pram or pushchair. There are many configuration options available, whether you're buying for twins or close-in-age siblings. Tandem prams, also referred to as side-by-side prams, are popular choices because they can be configured so that the infant can be seated in the bassinet on top while the older child or toddler is sitting in the second seat.

Some models come with reversible seats, which means you can alter the seating arrangement to suit your family's needs throughout the baby and toddler years. This lets you see your children at all times and gives them the chance to connect with them as they walk.

Tandem prams are typically all-terrain buggies or jogging ones that is why they're great for outdoor adventures and the park. They're also ideal 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 from birth in dual mode by adding the use of the rumble seat (PS249). It is then possible to change to a single pram mode once your child gets used to the rumble seat or select the adaptors for car capsules (PS53) to turn it into a traveler from newborn to toddler.

Another option is the Side by Side Pram from Babybee. This double pram side-by-side is available in a variety of colors and features a beautiful modern style. Designed to be used right 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 with different age ranges. It's also easy to fold. It's also quite light, which makes it a great choice for those with smaller cars or a limited storage space.

Convertible

The best compact double stroller double prams and pushchairs can be used in a variety of ways and some are able to change into different seating configurations to meet your family's changing needs. You can accommodate up to three children on the seat board, or two toddlers in the seats while still having enough space for shopping bags. Accessories like rain covers are also available. In general, convertible double strollers are larger and heavier than single pushchairs as they are required to be capable of holding two or more children. The Graco Modes Nest2Grow is one instance of a low-cost convertible which is very user-friendly, however our testers felt that it was a bit heavy for the price.

Some convertible double strollers like the Baby Jogger City Select 2 come with a carrycot suitable for newborns. This helps to reduce the size of the double stroller when not being used and makes it smaller. Our test subjects were awed by the City Select's innovative one-handed fold. However, it requires some practice. It's also very responsive and nimble, despite its size.

The Cybex Mockingbird single-to-double stroller is an alternative that is affordable. The seat converts from a car seat with a parent seat to a forward-facing toddler car seat and the bassinet option is a fantastic option for infants (although remember that babies under four months old shouldn't sleep in strollers because of the risk of positional asphyxia).

For greater flexibility, opt for a dual-mode convertible such as the iCandy Peach. It's a compact double stroller that can accommodate two children side-by-side. It can also be used to make a tandem by incorporating a second seat kit. It feels agile and agile, and our testers loved its sleek design. It's not as light as the other pushchairs double in our list however, it comes with an enormous shopping basket that is handy for parents carrying bags full of toys and food.

Lightweight

Some parents like to future-proof their cheap double stroller pushchair if they have a child and are expecting another, so a convertible option is an excellent choice. The iCandy Peach allows you to transform from a single to a double pushchair by the addition of either an infant seat or the brand's carrycot (which is suitable for sleep overs). Our test subjects were impressed by how comfortable the seats are and love the fact that both recline to multiple positions, come with built-in foot and leg supports and large UPF 50+ canopies with peekaboo windows. The rear seat can also be lifted high to offer an elevated platform for a child to get on and off, to allow them to reach items in the basket of groceries.

Cher stated that the only downside of the iCandy Peach was its weight. However, she believed this was offset by the fact that it is easy to move and comes with plenty of storage space with two cup holders for children and parents seats-back pockets, as well as a large basket under the seat. She also liked the seat's design, which is adjustable, meaning they can be positioned to face one another for siblings who want to talk and interact when out and out and about.

The Delta Children LX Side-by-Side Stroller is a less heavy option however, it is still awe-inspiring. It weighs just 18 pounds, is compact, and has self-standing fold, making it simple to transport or put in your trunk. Parents love the quality of materials and workmanship, as well as the low cost. The only negatives are that the seats don't recline as well as other models we've tried and the rear seat isn't as well-lit due to its position - it is raised higher than the first seat.

The Joolz Geo 3 is another popular option. It's slim, sleek, easy to steer and has an unbeatable lifetime warranty. It's important to keep in mind that, despite their slimmer design, side by side prams are still wider than tandem and in-line doubles and can be difficult to navigate on crowded footpaths or in shops. They're also shorter, making them more maneuverable in tight spaces.
