Choosing a Double Pram and Pushchair

A double pram can simplify life for families, particularly in bustling stores or on busy streets. Select a model that offers ample storage space to store nappies, snacks, and other essentials.

Some parents who are first-time parents choose a future-proof pushchair that can be used as a single pram once bub is born and then transformed into a twin-mode after the baby is born. Joolz provides a variety of these options.

Tandem

The announcement that you are expecting a child is one of the most exciting events in life. However, once the initial excitement wears off and reality begins to sink in, you may be faced with a myriad of choices regarding how to prepare your family for the arrival of your baby one or one. The proper stroller or pram is among the most important considerations.

Tandem prams, also referred to as "in-line" double tandem pushchair prams, are a classic style with two bassinets or chairs placed side by side. The front seat, which is usually padded, reclines flat and is suitable for infants. The second seat is a bit higher and is designed to accommodate toddlers as young as 3 years. Certain models let you choose whether your children look at each other or look outwards. Many tandems can be converted to one pushchair when your oldest child is no longer in need of the second seat.

In terms of price it is cheaper than a twin pushchair, and is a great option for parents who want to save money without compromising on safety or function. However, the drawback of a tandem is that it may be heavy and long to steer, especially when you're going up or down kerbs. Additionally, it is generally less stable than a twin pushchair, particularly if the older child is sitting in the front. A tandem can be difficult to fit on public transport, and it may be difficult to navigate narrow pavements.

The iCandy Peach is a popular model that is a good choice for a singleton parent who wants something streamlined, but the tandem mode can make it feel heavy and long when pushing. It comes with an expanded frame that increases in dimensions to accommodate the second seat. It can be used with a variety of combinations of buggy seats, car seats and carrycots (two at simultaneously or separately). The iCandy Wave tandem is another lightweight option that's easy-to-use and compatible with a range of car seats or carrycots.

Side by side

When it comes to selecting a double pushchair or pram, there's a lot to consider. If you're buying for twins or siblings who are close in age there are plenty of configuration choices to think about. Tandem prams (also called side by side prams) are popular choices as they can be arranged to fit infants in a bassinet on the top, while the larger infant or toddler sits in the second seat below.

Some models even have convertible seats, which means you can alter the seating arrangement to meet the needs of your family throughout the baby and toddler years. This allows you to keep your kids always in your sights and gives them a chance to interact with each other while they walk.

Tandem prams are typically jogging or all-terrain buggies which makes them ideal for outdoor excursions and the park. They are also great for narrow aisles or checkouts in shops and supermarkets, as they are smaller.

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). If your child gets bored of the rumble chair, you can change to a single to double pushchair pram mode. You can also opt to make use of the car capsule adaptors to transform it from a newborn to toddler travel system.

Another alternative is the Side by Side Pram from Babybee. This double side-by-side pram comes in a range of colors and is designed in a contemporary design. It is designed to be used from the moment of 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 converted into a double side-byside. It comes in a range of infant and carrycots to accommodate twins or siblings with different age ranges. It's also incredibly easy to fold. It's also fairly light, which makes it an ideal option for those with smaller cars or a limited storage space.

Convertible

The best double prams and pushchairs are versatile and some are capable of changing seat configurations to suit the changing needs of your family. There is the possibility of fitting two toddlers in seats or a third child on the seat board and still have enough space for a basket to store your shopping, and the capability to add accessories like rain covers is a plus. Convertible double pram pushchair strollers tend to be larger and heavier than single pushchairs because they are designed to accommodate two or more children. The Graco Modes Nest2Grow is one example of a convertible that is affordable that is extremely user-friendly, but our test subjects felt it was a little heavy for the price.

Some convertible double strollers like the Baby Jogger City Select 2, have a carrycot option which is suitable for babies. This allows the double stroller to be compacted and reduce in size when it is not used. The City Select's clever single-handed folding impressed our test subjects however it requires some time to master. It's also extremely responsive and nimble even despite its size.

The Cybex Mockingbird single-to-double stroller is another option that is reasonably priced. 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 choice for infants.

For greater flexibility, opt for a dual-mode convertible like the iCandy Peach. This is a narrow double stroller that is able to accommodate two children at the same time. It can also be used to make a tandem by incorporating a second seat kit. It is agile and agile, and our testers were impressed by its sleek design. It's not quite as lightweight as some of the other models on our list but it has a large basket that's great for parents carrying bags full of toys and groceries.

Lightweight

Some parents prefer to secure their double stroller with car seat buggy when they have one child and are expecting another so a convertible option is a good option. The iCandy Peach allows you to transform from a single to a double pram buggy pushchair, with the addition of a toddler seat or the brand's optional carrycot (which is suitable for overnight sleeping). The seats are extremely comfortable and our testers appreciate that they can recline in various positions. They also like the design of the canopy, which has a peekaboo window and UPF 50+ protection. The rear seat can be raised high to allow the child of a higher age can stand on it to reach the shopping basket.

The only drawback of the iCandy Peach is that it is quite heavy, however Cher felt it was overcome by the ease to manoeuvre and how spacious the storage is, with two hanging parent and child cup holders with seat-back pockets as well as an enormous underseat basket. Cher also appreciated that seats can be flipped so that they can face each other, which is perfect for siblings who love to chat and have conversations when out and out and about.

The Delta Children LX Side-by-Side Stroller is a smaller model, but still impressive. It weighs only 18 pounds, is small and features a self standing fold, making it simple to transport or put in your trunk. Parents love the quality of the materials and workmanship as well as the affordable price. The only negatives are that the seats do not recline as well as other models we have tested and the rear seat is not as prominent due to its position as it is higher than the first 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 smaller than side-by-side strollers, they can be larger than tandems and inline doubles. This can make them difficult to maneuver around busy footpaths and in shops. They're also shorter, making them more maneuverable in tight spaces.
