Choosing a Double Pram and Pushchair

A double pram can simplify the lives of families, particularly in bustling shopping centers or on busy streets. Choose a model with ample storage space for 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 changed into a twin mode once he or she is born. Joolz has a variety of choices.

Tandem

The news that you're about to have to have a baby is among the most exciting events in your life. However, once the initial excitement wears off and the reality sets in, you could be faced with a myriad of decisions about how to prepare your family for the arrival of your new one or ones. The right pram or stroller is one of the most important things to consider.

Tandem prams (also known as "in-line" double prams) are a timeless design with two bassinets or seats for prams arranged side-by-side. The front seat, which is typically cushioned, reclines flat and is suitable for newborns. The second seat is a bit higher and designed to fit toddlers as young as 3 years. Some models allow you to select whether your children stare at each other or outwards. Many tandems also have the option of being converted into a single pushchair if you decide your oldest child doesn't require the second seat.

In terms of cost it is cheaper than a Twin stroller side By side pushchair, and is a great option for parents who want to save money but not compromising on safety or convenience. A tandem can be heavy and difficult to steer, particularly when you're tripping over kerbs. It's also less stable than twin stroller pushchairs particularly if a larger child is in the front. A tandem can be difficult to place on public transportation, and it can be difficult to navigate narrow pavements.

The iCandy Peach, a popular model that is focused on image, is a fantastic option for a single parent who wants a sleeker appearance. However, the tandem mode makes it feel long and heavy to push. It's got a frame that expands in width to accommodate the second seat. It can be used with a variety of buggy seats, car seats and carrycots (two at one time or in separate). The iCandy Wave is another lightweight tandem option that's simple to use and compatible with a variety of carrycots and car seats.

Side by side

When it comes time to choose a double pram or pushchair, there's a lot to consider. Whether you're buying for twins or siblings close in age there are plenty of configuration options to take into account. Tandem prams (also called side by side prams) are a popular choice since they can be configured to accommodate infants with a bassinet on the top, while the larger toddler or infant is in the seat below.

Some models have reversible seating which allow you to alter the configuration for your family during the toddler and baby years. This lets you see your children at all times, and gives them the chance to connect with them when they walk.

Tandem prams are typically jogging buggies or all terrain double stroller-terrain ones which makes them ideal for outdoor adventures and in the park. They're also a good choice if you need to brave narrow supermarket isles or checkouts, as they tend to be smaller than single-seaters.

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 when your little one gets used to the rumble seat or choose the adaptors for car capsules (PS53) to turn it into a traveler from infant to toddler.

Another option is the Side by Side Pram from Babybee. The double side-by-side pram is available in a variety of colours and is designed with a contemporary design. It is designed to be used from the moment of birth, you can add the LUNA Cocoon for newborns (PS262) and the LUNA Infant Seats (PS53 each).

If you're looking for a sleek and stylish pushchair that converts into a side-byside double then the Egg 2 from Chicco is an excellent choice. It's available in a variety of carrycots and infant seats to accommodate twins or siblings with different ages. It's also incredibly easy to collapse. It is also relatively light and therefore a good choice for those who have little space in their cars or don't have enough space for storage.

Convertible

Some of the best double prams or pushchairs can be set up to accommodate your changing needs. You can fit two toddlers in a seat or a third child on the seat board and have space for a shopping basket and the ability to add additional accessories such as rain covers is a advantage. Convertible double single pushchair strollers are generally heavier and bulkier than single pushchairs due to the fact that they are designed to accommodate two or more children. The Graco Modes Nest2Grow is one instance of a low-cost convertible which is very user-friendly, however our test subjects felt it was a little heavy for the money.

Some convertible double strollers, like the Baby Jogger City Select 2 has a carrycot option which is suitable for newborns. This allows the double stroller to be folded down and reduced in size when it is not used. The City Select's innovative single-handed folding impressed our testers, but it takes some practice. It's also very fluid and agile 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 child-facing car seat to a forward-facing toddler seat. The bassinet-style mode makes it a great option for infants.

If you're looking to expand your options, consider a dual-mode convertible like the iCandy Peach. It's a small double jogging stroller 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 loved its sleek design. It's not as light as the other pushchairs in our list, but it offers an enormous shopping basket that is great for parents who carry bags full of groceries and toys.

Lightweight

Convertible double strollers are a great option for parents who already have children and anticipate another. The iCandy Peach can be converted from a single pushchair to double with the addition of a toddler's seat, or the brand's carrycot (which is ideal to sleep at night). The seats are very comfortable and our testers love that they can be reclined in various positions. They also like 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 so that the older child can stand on it to reach the basket of shopping.

Cher said that the only downside of the iCandy Peach was its weight. But she felt this was offset by the fact that it is easy to maneuver and offers plenty of storage space and cup holders for children and parents as well as seat-back pockets and a large basket under the seat. Cher also appreciated that the seats can be turned so that they can face each other, which is great for siblings who love to talk and interact when they are out and about.

The Delta Children LX Side-by-Side Stroller is a smaller model and 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 are impressed by the quality of the materials and workmanship and the price is low. The only downside is that the seats don't recline as far as other models we've tested and the rear seat doesn't have great visibility because of its position as it's higher than the front seat.

Another popular option is the Joolz Geo 3, which is slim sleek, stylish and easy to steer, with an attractive design and a lifetime guarantee. It's worth bearing in mind that, despite their smaller size Side by side prams are larger than tandems and in-line doubles. They may be difficult to navigate through busy footpaths or in stores. However, they are often shorter too, so can be more maneuverable in tight spaces than tandems.
