Choosing a Double Pram and Pushchair

A double pram can simplify life for families, particularly in bustling shopping centers or on busy streets. Pick a model with plenty of storage space to store nappies as well as snacks and other necessities.

Some parents who are new to the world choose a pushchair that is future-proof and can be used both as a single stroller once baby is born, and transformed into a twin-mode when the baby is born. Joolz offers a wide range of choices.

Tandem

The announcement that you're expecting a child is among the most exciting events in life. However, after the excitement of the beginning fades and the reality sets in, you could be faced with a multitude of decisions regarding how to prepare your family for the arrival of your little one or one. The proper stroller or pram is among the most important considerations.

Tandem prams, also referred to as "in-line" double prams, are a classic design with two bassinets or chairs placed side-by-side. The front seat, which is typically padded, reclines flat and is suitable for newborns. The second seat is more upright and designed to fit toddlers as young as three years old. Certain models let you decide if your children will look at each other or face each other. Many tandems also have the option of converting into a single to double buggy pushchair when you decide that your child's oldest doesn't require the second seat.

In terms of cost, a tandem is much cheaper than a twin pushchair and is a great option for parents who want to save money, but not compromise on safety or functionality. However, a drawback of a tandem is that it can be a bit heavy and lengthy to steer, particularly when going up or down kerbs. It is usually 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 transportation, and it can be difficult to navigate narrow pavements.

The iCandy Peach, a popular model that focuses on image, is an excellent option for a single parent who wants an elegant style. However, the tandem mode makes it feel long and heavy to push. It features a clever frame that expands widthways to allow the addition of the second seat, and it is compatible with many 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 variety of car seats and carrycots.

Side by side

There are a lot of things to take into consideration when selecting a double pram or pushchair. Whether you're buying for twins or siblings close in age there are a variety of configuration options to take into account. Tandem prams (also known as side by side prams) are a popular choice because they can be set up to accommodate infants in a bassinet at the top, while the older toddler or infant is in the seat below.

Some models even have seats that can be reversible, meaning you can adapt the configuration to meet the needs of your family throughout the toddler and baby years. This allows you to see your children at all times, and allows them to be a part of the journey as they walk.

Tandem prams are typically jogging or all-terrain buggies which makes them ideal for outdoor adventures and the park. They're also a good choice for those who have to navigate narrow supermarket isles or checkouts as they're generally smaller than single-seaters.

The Redsbaby JIVE3 Pram, for example, can be used as a tandem pram starting from birth in the dual mode, with the addition of the rumble seat (PS249). If your child is no longer a member of the rumble chair, you can switch to one pram mode. You can also choose to use the car capsule adaptors to convert it from a newborn to toddler travel system.

The Side by Side Pram made by Babybee is a different alternative. This double side-by-side pram comes in a variety of colors and is designed in a contemporary style. Designed to be used right from birth, you can add the LUNA newborn Cocoon (PS262) and the LUNA Infant Seats (PS53 each).

If you're looking for a sleek and elegant pushchair that can convert into a double-sided side-by-side and a side-by-side double jogging stroller, the Egg 2 from Chicco is an excellent choice. It is available in a variety of infant and carrycots to accommodate twins or siblings with different age ranges. It's also incredibly easy to fold. It is also relatively light and therefore a good choice for those who have smaller vehicles or have limited space for storage.

Convertible

Some of the best smallest double buggy prams or pushchairs can be set up to accommodate your changing needs. There is the possibility of fitting two toddlers in seats or even a third one on the seat board and have room for a shopping basket, and the option to add additional accessories such as rain covers is also a advantage. Convertible double strollers tend to be larger and heavier 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 that is user-friendly, but our testers thought it was a little heavy for the price.

Some convertible double strollers like the Baby Jogger City Select 2 comes with a carrycot which is suitable for babies. 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 however it requires some practice. It's also very agile and responsive even despite its size.

The Cybex Mockingbird single-to-double stroller is another affordable option. It can be converted from a parent-facing infant car seat to an forward-facing toddler seat. The bassinet feature is a great choice for infants.

If you want more flexibility Consider a convertible that has dual modes like the iCandy Peach. It's a slim double stroller that is able to accommodate two children in a tandem. It can also be used to create a tandem by incorporating a second seat kit. It's nimble and responsive and our testers loved its sleek design. It's not as light as some of the other pushchairs on our list however, it comes with a large shopping basket which is great for parents who carry bags of toys and groceries.

Lightweight

Convertible double strollers are an excellent option for parents who have a child and expect the arrival of a second. The iCandy Peach allows you to convert from a single to a double pushchair by the addition of an infant seat or the brand's carrycot (which is suitable for sleeping at night). The seats are very comfortable and our testers appreciate that they can recline in a variety of positions. They also love 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 older child can stand on it to reach the basket of shopping.

Cher stated that the only disadvantage of the iCandy Peach was its weight. However, she believed this was offset by the fact that it's easy to move and has plenty of storage and cup holders for children and parents as well as seat-back pockets and an enormous basket underneath the seat. Cher also appreciated that the seats can be reversed to face each other. This is great for siblings who want to interact and talk while out and about.

The Delta Children LX Side-by-Side Stroller is a smaller model, but still impressive. It weighs just 18 pounds, is lightweight, and has a self standing fold, making it easy to carry around or put in your trunk. Parents are impressed by the quality of materials and workmanship, as well as the low price. The only issue is that the seats don't recline as much as some other models we've tried, and the rear seat isn't very well-lit due to its positioning as it's higher than the front seat.

Another popular choice is the Joolz Geo 3, which is slim, sleek and easy to steer, with an attractive design and a lifetime guarantee. While they're smaller, side-by-side prams can still be larger than tandems and inline doubles. This can make them difficult to maneuver on busy streets and in shops. However, they're generally smaller, and can be easier to turn in tight spaces than tandems.
