Choosing a double pram and pushchair (click the following article)

A double pram or pushchair will simplify the lives of families, especially when walking on busy roads or in shops and stores. Choose a model that has ample storage space to store nappies as well as 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 pram when baby is born. It can be converted into a twin mode once he or she is born. Joolz has a variety of options.

Tandem

The announcement that you're expecting a child is one of the most exciting events in life. However, after the excitement fades and the reality sets in, you could be faced with a variety of decisions regarding how to prepare your family for the arrival of your little one or ones. The right pram or stroller is among 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 usually cushioned, reclines flat and is suitable for newborns. The second seat is a bit higher and designed to fit toddlers as young as three years. Certain models feature reversible seating so you can decide if your children face towards each other or gaze at you. A lot of tandems offer the option of being converted into a single pushchair in the event that you decide that your oldest child no longer needs the second seat.

A tandem is more affordable than a twin pram and is a great option for parents looking to save money, but without losing safety or function. A tandem can be heavy and difficult to steer, especially when negotiating the kerbs. It's also less stable than twin prams especially when a bigger child is in the front. A tandem can be difficult to place on public transport, and it can 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 quite heavy and long when pushing. It has an innovative frame that expands widthways to allow the addition of the second seat, and can be used with a variety of combinations of buggy seats, carrycots and car seats (two at a time or in separate). 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

There are many aspects to consider when choosing a double pram or pushchair. If you're buying a double pram for twins or siblings close in age there are plenty of configuration options to take into account. Tandem prams (also called side by sides prams) are a popular choice because they can be arranged to fit infants in a bassinet on the top while the older toddler or infant 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 toddler and baby years. This allows you to keep your kids in sight at all times and also gives them the chance to interact with each other as they stroll.

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

The Redsbaby JIVE3 Pram, for example, can be used as a tandem pram from birth in the dual mode, with the addition of the rumble seat (PS249). If your child gets bored of the rumble seat, you can change to the single 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 from Babybee is another alternative. This smallest double buggy side-by-side pram comes in a variety of colors and is designed with a modern style. Designed to be used right from birth, you can also include the LUNA Cocoon for newborns (PS262) and the LUNA Infant Seats (PS53 each).

The Egg 2 is a stylish sleek pushchair that is able to be converted into a double side-by-side. It's available in a range of infant seat and carrycot configurations to accommodate twins or siblings of varying age groups. It's also easy to fold. It is also relatively lightweight and compact, making it a great option for those with small cars or limited space to store.

Convertible

Some of the top double pushchairs or prams can be made into various seats to meet your changing needs. You can accommodate up to three children on the seat board, or two toddlers in the seats, with enough space to carry a shopping bag. Accessories like rain covers are also available. Convertible double strollers are generally heavier and bulkier than single pushchairs because 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 bit heavy for the price.

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 double to be compacted and reduced in size when not used. Our testers were impressed with the City Select's unique one-handed fold, though it requires some time to master. It's also very fluid and agile in spite of its size.

Another option that is affordable is an option that is affordable is the Cybex Mockingbird Single-to-Double Stroller. It can be transformed from a child-facing car seat to a forward-facing toddler seat. The bassinet feature is a great choice for infants.

If you want more flexibility, consider a dual-mode convertible such as the iCandy Peach. It's a compact double buggy that can hold two children in a row and can be used as a tandem, with the addition of a second-seat kit and rider board. It's agile and responsive, and our testers were impressed by its sleek design. It's not as light as the other pushchairs on our list however it does come with an ample shopping basket that is great for parents who carry bags of toys and food.

Some parents like to future-proof their double pushchair if they have a child and are expecting another so a convertible option is an excellent choice. The iCandy Peach allows you to transform from a single to a double pushchair, with the addition of either an infant seat or the brand's carrycot (which is suitable for sleeping at night). The seats are extremely comfortable and our testers appreciate that they can be reclined 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 also be lifted high to offer an elevated platform for a child to climb off and on, so that they can access items in the shopping basket.

Cher stated that the only disadvantage of the iCandy Peach was its weight. However, she felt this was offset by the fact that it is easy to move and has plenty of storage and cup holders for parents and their children as well as seat-back pockets and an enormous basket underneath the seat. Cher also appreciated the fact that the seats are convertible, which means they can be positioned to face one another for siblings who wish to talk and interact when out and about.

The Delta Children LX Side-by-Side Stroller is a less heavy option however, it is still awe-inspiring. It weighs just 18 pounds, is compact and features a self standing fold, making it easy to transport or store in your trunk. Parents love the quality of materials and workmanship, as well as the low price. The only negatives are that the seats don't recline as well as other models we have tested and the rear seat is not as visible because of its position - it is raised higher than the first seat.

The Joolz Geo 3 is another popular choice. It's slim, sleek, easy to steer, and comes with a lifetime guarantee. It's worth bearing in mind that despite their narrower design, side by side prams are wider than tandem and in-line doubles. They may be difficult to navigate on busy footpaths or in stores. They are also shorter, making them easier to maneuver in tight spaces.
