Choosing a Double Pram and Pushchair

A good double pram or pushchair can simplify life for families, particularly on busy streets or in shops and stores. Choose a model with 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 stroller when baby is born, and later converted into a twin mode once he or she is old enough. Joolz provides a variety of these options.

Tandem

The announcement that you're expecting to have a baby is among the most exciting moments in your life. Once the excitement has worn off and the reality of the situation begins to set in, you'll have to make a number of choices regarding how you can prepare your family. One of the most important aspects to consider is choosing the correct pram or pushchair.

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

A tandem is less expensive than Twin Buggy From Birth prams and is an excellent choice for parents who want to save money without losing safety or function. A tandem can be heavy and difficult to steer, particularly when you're tripping over kerbs. It's also less stable than twin pushchairs, especially if an older child is in the front. A tandem can also be difficult to transport on public transport, and it can be difficult to maneuver on narrow roads.

The iCandy Peach, a popular model with a focus on image, is an excellent option for parents with one child who want a sleeker style. However the tandem mode can make it feel heavy and long to push. It features a clever frame that expands widthways to accommodate the second seat, and can be used with a variety of combinations of buggy seats, carrycots and car seats (two at a time or separately). The iCandy Wave is another lightweight tandem option that's easy to use and compatible with a range of carrycots and car seats.

Side by side

When it comes time to choose a double stroller with car seat pushchair or pram there's plenty to consider. If you're buying for twins or other siblings that are similar in age there are plenty of configuration options to take into account. 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 older toddler or infant is in the lower seat below.

Some models have reversible seating that allow you to customize the configuration for your family during the infant 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 jogging or all-terrain buggies that is why they're great for outdoor adventures and in the park. They're also a good choice for those who have to navigate narrow checkout aisles or isles in supermarkets, as they tend to be 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). When your child grows out of the rumble chair you can change to the single pram mode. You may also opt to use the adaptors for car capsules to transform it from a newborn to toddler travel system.

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

The Egg 2 is a stylish, sleek pushchair that can be transformed into a double side-by-side. It's available in a range of infant seat and carrycot configurations to accommodate twins or siblings of various ages and is super-easy to fold. It's also fairly light and compact, making it a great choice for those who have smaller vehicles or have limited space for storage.

Convertible

The best double prams and pushchairs can be used in a variety of ways, and some are even capable of changing seating arrangements to meet your changing family needs. It is possible to fit two toddlers in a seat or a third rider on the seat board and still have space for a shopping basket and the option to add additional accessories such as rain covers is another plus. Typically, convertible double strollers are bigger and heavier than single pushchairs as they are required to be able to accommodate two or more children. The Graco Modes Nest2Grow convertible is an example of a very affordable convertible that is easy to use. However, our testers found it to be a bit heavy for the price.

Some double strollers that can be converted into convertibles like the Baby Jogger City Select 2 include a carrycot suitable for babies. This helps to reduce the size of the double stroller when it is not in use and makes it smaller. The City Select's innovative single-handed folding impressed our testers but it does require some time to master. It's also quite agile and agile, despite being larger than double strollers.

Another option that is reasonably priced is an affordable option is the Cybex Mockingbird Single-to-Double Stroller. The seat can be converted from a parent-facing infant car seat to a forward-facing toddler seat. The bassinet-style mode is a great option for infants.

If you're looking for more flexibility Consider a convertible that has dual modes like the iCandy Peach. It's a compact double stroller that is able to accommodate two children at the same time. It can be used to create a tandem by incorporating a second seat kit. It's agile and responsive, and our testers liked its sleek design. It's not as light as the other pushchairs on our list however it does come with a large shopping basket which is ideal for parents with bags full of groceries and toys.

Lightweight

Some parents prefer to secure their double pushchair if they have one child and are expecting another so a convertible option is an excellent choice. The iCandy Peach can be converted from a single pushchair into double by the addition of a toddler's seat, or the brand's carrycot (which is great to sleep at night). Our testers were pleased with how comfortable the seats are and love the fact that they can recline in a variety of positions, have built-in leg and foot supports and generous UPF 50+ canopy with peekaboo windows. The rear seat can be raised so that the older child can stand on it to reach the basket of shopping.

The only drawback of the iCandy Peach is that it is quite heavy. However, Cher felt this was offset by the ease to move around and how big the storage space is, with two hanging child and parent cup holders, seat-back pockets and an enormous underseat basket. Cher also appreciated that seats can be flipped so that they face each other, which is perfect for siblings who want to chat and have conversations when they are out and 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 double stroller and features self-standing fold, making it simple to carry around or put in your trunk. Parents love the quality of the materials and workmanship as well as the affordable price. The only downsides are that the seats do not recline as well as other models we've tried and the rear seat isn't as visible due to its location - it is raised higher than the seat in front.

The Joolz Geo 3 is another popular choice. It's slim, sleek, easy to steer, and comes with a lifetime guarantee. Although they are narrower side-by-side prams may be larger than tandems and inline doubles. This makes them difficult to maneuver around busy footpaths and in shops. However, they're usually smaller, and are easier to maneuver in tight spaces than tandems.
