Choosing a Double Pram and Pushchair

A double pram can simplify life for families, particularly in busy stores or on busy streets. Find a model that has generous storage space for stowing nappies, snacks and other essentials.

Some first-time parents opt for a future proof pushchair that can be used as a single pram when bub is born and then changed into a twin buggy mode after the baby is old enough. Joolz offers a wide range of options.

Tandem

The news that you're about to have to have a baby is among the most exciting moments in your life. When the excitement wears off and the reality of the situation begins to set in, you will be faced with a variety of decisions regarding how you can prepare your family. One of the most important things to consider is choosing the correct pram or pushchair.

Tandem prams, also known as "in-line" double prams, are a classic design with two seats or bassinets placed side by side. The front seat, which is typically cushioned, reclines and is suitable for newborns. The second seat is a bit higher and designed to fit toddlers as young as 3 years old. Some models have seats that can be reversible, so you can choose whether your children face towards each other or gaze at you. Many tandems can be converted into one pushchair once your oldest child is no longer in need of the second seat.

A tandem is cheaper than a twin pram and is a great option for parents who want to save money, but without having to sacrifice safety or functional. A tandem can be heavy and difficult to steer, especially when you're tripping over kerbs. It's also less stable than twin prams particularly if a larger child is in the front. A tandem can also be difficult to get onto public transport, and it can be difficult to navigate on narrow roads.

The iCandy Peach, a popular model with a focus on image, is a great alternative for a single parent who wants an elegant appearance. However, the tandem mode makes it feel a bit heavy and long to push. It has frames that can be expanded in dimensions to accommodate the second seat. It can be used with a range of combinations of car seats, buggy seats and carrycots (two at simultaneously or separately). The iCandy Wave is another lightweight tandem option that is easy to use and compatible with a range of car seats and carrycots.

Side by side

When it comes to choosing a double pram or pushchair, there's a lot to consider. There are many configuration options to choose from, regardless of whether you're buying for twins or close-in-age siblings. Tandem prams (also known as side by side prams) are a popular choice since they can be configured to accommodate infants in a bassinet at the 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 alter the seating arrangement to your family's requirements throughout the baby and toddler years. This allows you to see your children at all times, and allows them to interact while they walk.

Tandem prams are jogging buggies as well as all-terrain buggies. They are great for outdoor excursions, like to the park. They're also a good option when you have to traverse narrow checkout aisles or isles in supermarkets because they're generally smaller than single-seaters.

The Redsbaby JIVE3 Pram, for instance, can be used as a tandem pram right from birth in the dual mode by adding the use of the rumble seat (PS249). Then, you can switch to the single mode once your baby grows out of the rumble seat or select the adaptors for car capsules (PS53) to turn it into a travel system for newborn to toddler.

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

If you're seeking a sleek, stylish pushchair that converts into a side-by-side double jogging stroller then the Egg 2 from Chicco is a great option. It is available in a variety of infant and carrycots to accommodate twins or siblings of different age groups. It's also easy to collapse. It's also fairly light and compact, making it a great choice for those who have small cars or limited space for storage.

Convertible

Some of the best compact double stroller double pushchairs or prams can be set up to meet your changing needs. You can fit up to three children on the seat board or two toddlers in the seats, with enough space to carry a shopping bag. Accessories such as rain covers are also available. Typically, convertible double strollers are larger and heavier than single pushchairs as they are required to be able to accommodate two or more children. The Graco Modes Nest2Grow is one example of an affordable convertible that is user-friendly, but our testers felt that 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 not used. The City Select's clever, one-handed folding impressed our testers, but it takes some practice. It's also extremely responsive and nimble in spite of its size.

The Cybex Mockingbird single-to-double stroller is an alternative that is affordable. The seat can be transformed from a parent-facing infant car seat to a forward-facing toddler seat. The bassinet feature makes it a great option for infants.

For more flexibility, look for a convertible that has dual modes like the iCandy Peach. It's a small double buggy that can hold 2 children side by side however it can also be used as a tandem with 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 on our list however, it comes with a large shopping basket which is ideal for parents with bags of groceries and toys.

Lightweight

Some parents like to future-proof their double buggy when 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 double by the addition of a toddler seat or the brand's carrycot (which is great for overnight sleeping). The seats are very comfortable and our testers love that they can be reclined in various positions. They also appreciate the feature that the canopy comes with 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 basket of shopping.

The only drawback of the iCandy Peach is that it is quite heavy. However, Cher believed that this was overcome by the ease to move around and how big the storage is with two hanging parent and child 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 one another for siblings that want to talk and interact when out and out and about.

The Delta Children LX Side-by-Side Stroller is a lighter option, but still impressive. It weighs just 18 pounds, is compact, and has a self standing fold, making it simple to transport or store in your trunk. Parents are impressed by the quality of materials and workmanship, as well as the low cost. The only drawback is that the seats don't recline as much as some other models we've examined and the back seat doesn't have great visibility due to its positioning as it's higher than the front seat.

The Joolz Geo 3 is another popular choice. It's slim, sleek, and easy to steer and comes with a lifetime guarantee. Although they are narrower, side-by-side prams can still be larger than tandems and inline doubles. This makes them difficult to maneuver around busy footpaths and in shops. They are also shorter which makes them more maneuverable in tight spaces.
