Choosing a Double Pram and Pushchair

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

Some first-time parents choose a pushchair that is future-proof and can be used both as a single stroller at the time baby is born, and later changed to a twin mode after the baby arrives. Joolz provides a variety of these options.

Tandem

The news that you're expecting a baby is one of the most exciting times in life. Once the excitement has worn off and the reality of the situation begins to set in, you'll be faced with many decisions regarding how to prepare your family for. One of the most important aspects to consider is choosing the best pram or pushchair.

Tandem prams (also called 'in-line' double buggy for twins prams) are a classic design that have two seats or pram bassinets arranged side-by-side. The front seat, which is typically padded, reclines flat and is suitable for babies. The second seat is upright and designed to accommodate toddlers as young as three years. Some models let you choose whether your children look at each other or look outwards. Many tandems can be converted to one pushchair once your oldest child is no longer required to have the second seat.

A tandem is cheaper than a twin pram and can be an excellent choice for parents who want to save money, without compromising safety or functionality. A tandem can be a bit heavy and difficult to steer, particularly when negotiating curbs. It is also less stable than twin strollers for newborns pushchairs, especially if an older child is in the front. A tandem can be difficult to place on public transport, and it may be difficult to navigate narrow pavements.

The iCandy Peach is a popular model with a strong image that's a great choice for a single parent who wants something streamlined, but the tandem mode can make it feel long and heavy when pushing. It comes with a clever frame that expands widthways to allow for the addition of the second seat, and is compatible with many combinations of carrycots, buggy chairs 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 variety of carrycots and car seats.

Side by side

When it comes time to choose a double pushchair or pram, there's a lot to consider. There are numerous configuration options to choose from, regardless of whether you're buying for twins or close-in-age siblings. Tandem prams (also called side by sides prams) are a popular choice since they can be set up to fit infants in a bassinet on top, while the older infant or toddler sits in the seat below.

Some models have reversible seats that allow you to customize the layout of your family throughout the infant and toddler years. This lets you keep your children always in your sight and also gives them a chance to get to know one another as they walk.

Tandem prams can be jogging buggies or all-terrain buggies. They are great for outdoor excursions, such as to the park. These are also good for narrow aisles or checkouts in shops and supermarkets because they are smaller.

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). If your child is no longer a member of the rumble seat, you can switch to a single to double stroller pram mode. You can also opt to use the car capsule adaptors to transform it from a newborn into a toddler travel system.

The Side by Side Pram made by Babybee is a different alternative. This side-by-side double pram is available in a variety of colours and has an elegant modern design. The design is intended to be used from the moment of birth, you can choose to add the LUNA newborn cocoon (PS262) or the LUNA infant seats (PS53 each) to ensure that your little ones are secure and comfortable.

If you're looking for a sleek and elegant pushchair that can be converted into a double-sided side-by-side, the Egg 2 from Chicco is a great option. It's available in a variety of carrycot and infant seat combinations to cater for twins or siblings of different age groups and is easy to fold. It's also relatively lightweight and therefore a great choice for those who have small cars or only a little storage space.

Convertible

The best double tandem pushchair prams and pushchairs are able to be used in multiple ways, and some are even capable of changing seating arrangements to meet your changing family needs. You can accommodate up to three children on the seat board or two toddlers in the seats while still having enough space for a shopping bag. Accessories such as rain covers are also available. Most convertible double strollers are bigger and heavier than single pushchairs due to the fact that they have to be able to accommodate two or more children. The Graco Modes Nest2Grow is one instance of a low-cost convertible that is user-friendly, however our test subjects felt it was a bit 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 compacted and reduced in size when not being used. The City Select's innovative folding system that is one-handed impressed our test participants however it requires some practice. It's also quite agile and agile, despite being larger than other double strollers.

Another option that is affordable is an affordable option is the Cybex Mockingbird Single-to-Double Stroller. The seat can be transformed from a parent-facing infant 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 buggy that can fit two children in a row and can be used as a tandem, with the addition of a second-seat kit and rider board. It is agile and responsive, and our test users liked its sleek design. It's not as light as some of the other pushchairs in our list however, it comes with an enormous shopping basket that is ideal for parents with bags full of groceries and toys.

Lightweight

Convertible double strollers are an excellent alternative for parents who have a child and expect another. The iCandy Peach allows you to transform from a single to a double pushchair with the addition of either a toddler seat or the brand's carrycot (which is suitable for sleep overs). Our testers were pleased with how comfortable the seats are and loved the fact that both recline to multiple positions, feature built-in leg and foot support and have UPF 50+ canopies with peekaboo windows. The rear seat can be raised to provide a standing platform for a child to climb off and on, to allow them to reach items in the basket of groceries.

Cher said that the one negative aspect of the iCandy Peach was its weight. However, she felt that this was compensated for because it is easy to move and offers plenty of storage space and cup holders for parents and their children as well as seat-back pockets and a large basket under the seat. She also appreciated the seat's design, which is adjustable, meaning they can be placed to face one another for siblings who wish to talk and interact when out and about.

A lighter-weight but just as impressive choice is the Delta Children LX side-by-side stroller, which weighs only 18 lbs. It is compact twin stroller and has an auto-standing fold that makes it easy to transport and put in your trunk or at home. Parents appreciate the quality of the materials and craftsmanship as well as the price is low. The only issue is that the seats don't recline as far as other models we've tested and the rear seat isn't very well-lit because of its position as it's higher than the front seat.

Another popular option is the Joolz Geo 3, which is slim and sleek. It is also easy to steer, and comes with an appealing design and a lifetime guarantee. Although they are smaller side-by-side prams may be more spacious than tandems and inline doubles. This can make them difficult to maneuver on busy footpaths and in shops. However, they are often shorter too, so are easier to maneuver in tight spaces than tandems.
