Choosing a Double Pram and Pushchair

A double pram or pushchair can simplify family life, especially when walking on busy roads or in the shops and stores. Choose a model that has plenty of storage space to store nappies snacks, nappies, and other essentials.

Some parents who are first-time parents choose a future-proof pushchair that can be used as a single pram when baby is born, and later changed into a twin mode after the baby has arrived. Joolz offers a range of these options.

Tandem

The announcement that you're expecting a child is one of life's most exciting experiences. However, once the excitement of the beginning fades and reality sinks in, you may be faced with a variety of decisions about how to prepare your family for the arrival of your new one or ones. The best stroller or pram is among the most crucial considerations.

Tandem prams (also known as "in-line" double prams) are a classic design that have two seats or pram bassinets arranged side by side. The front seat, which is typically cushioned, reclines flat and is suitable for infants. The second seat is upright and designed to fit toddlers as young as three years. Certain models let you decide if your children will look at each other or look outwards. Many tandems can be made into one pushchair once your oldest child is no longer required to have the second seat.

In terms of cost, a tandem is much cheaper than a twin pushchair, and can be an excellent choice for parents who want to save money, but not compromise on safety or functionality. However, the drawback of a tandem is that it can be heavy and long to steer especially when moving up and down kerbs. It is generally less stable than a twin pram, especially if the child with the most weight is seated in the front. A tandem can also be tricky to transport on public transport, and it can be difficult to maneuver on narrow roads.

The iCandy Peach, a popular model that is focused on image, is an excellent option for a single parent who wants a sleeker style. However the tandem mode can make it feel heavy and long to push. It comes with a clever frame that can be expanded to accommodate the second seat, and can be used with a variety of combinations of carrycots, buggy chairs and car seats (two at a time or in separate). The iCandy Wave is another lightweight double pushchair tandem option that's simple to use and compatible with a variety of car seats and carrycots.

Side by side

There are many aspects to consider when choosing a double pushchair or pram. If you're buying for twins or siblings who are close in age there are a variety of configuration options to take into account. Tandem prams, also known as side-by-side prams, are popular choices due to the fact that they can be configured so that the infant can sit in the bassinet at the top while the older child or toddler is sitting in the second chair.

Certain models come with reversible seats that allow you to customize the layout of your family members throughout the infant and toddler years. This lets you be able to watch your children at all times and allows them to be a part of the journey while they walk.

Tandem prams are jogging buggies as well as all-terrain buggies. They are great for outdoor excursions, like to the park. They're also a good choice if you need to brave narrow checkout aisles or isles in supermarkets as they are generally smaller than single-seaters.

The Redsbaby JIVE3 pram, for example, can be utilized in tandem mode from birth, but with the addition of an rumble seat. (PS249) Then, you can switch to the single mode once your child grows out of the rumble seat, or use the car capsule adaptors (PS53) to transform it into a travel system from infant to toddler.

The Side by Side Pram from Babybee is another option. The double side-by-side pram is available in a range of colors and is designed with a contemporary design. Designed to be used right from birth, you can also add the LUNA newborn cocoon (PS262) or the LUNA infant seats (PS53 each) to ensure that your baby is comfortable and safe.

The Egg 2 is a stylish, sleek pushchair that can be converted into a double travel stroller side-byside. It's available in a variety of infant seat and carrycot combinations to cater for twins or siblings of various ages and is super-easy to fold. It is also relatively light, making it a good option for those with small cars or limited space for storage.

Convertible

The top double prams and pushchairs are able to be used in multiple ways, and some are even able to change into different seating configurations to meet your changing family needs. You can accommodate up to three children on the seat board, or two toddlers in the seats, with enough space to carry shopping bags. Accessories such as rain covers are also available. Convertible double jogging stroller strollers tend to be heavier and larger than single pushchairs due to the fact that they need to hold two or more children. The Graco Modes Nest2Grow convertible is an example of an affordable convertible that is simple to use. However, our reviewers considered it to be quite heavy for the price.

Some convertible double strollers like the Baby Jogger City Select 2 have a carrycot that is suitable for newborns. This helps to reduce the size of the double stroller when it is not in use and makes it smaller. The City Select's innovative, one-handed folding impressed our test subjects but it does require some practice. It's also very responsive and nimble, despite its size.

The Cybex Mockingbird single-to-double stroller is an alternative that is affordable. It can be converted from a parent-facing infant car seat to a forward-facing toddler car seat and the bassinet-style mode is a fantastic option for infants (although keep in mind that infants under four months old shouldn't be able to sleep in strollers due to the risk of asphyxia in a position).

If you're looking to expand your options Consider a convertible that has dual modes such as the iCandy Peach. It's a small double buggy side by side buggy which can accommodate two children in a row, but it can also 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 quite as lightweight as the other models on our list, but it comes with a big basket that's great for parents carrying bags filled with toys and groceries.

Lightweight

Convertible double strollers are a great option for parents who already have one child and are expecting another. The iCandy Peach can be converted from a single pushchair into a double with the addition of a toddler seat, or the brand's carrycot (which is great for overnight sleeping). The seats are extremely comfortable and our test subjects love that they can recline in multiple positions. They also appreciate the feature that the canopy comes with a peekaboo window and UPF 50+ protection. The rear seat can be raised to provide a standing platform for the older child to climb off and on, so that they can reach items in the basket of groceries.

The only issue with the iCandy Peach is that it is quite heavy. However, Cher believed that it was offset by its ease to manoeuvre and how spacious the storage is with two hanging child and parent cup holders as well as seat-back pockets, and a large underseat basket. Cher also appreciated the feature that the seats are reversible, so they can be placed to face each other for siblings who wish to talk and interact while out and 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 features a self standing fold, making it easy to carry around or put in your trunk. Parents appreciate the quality of the materials and workmanship as well as the affordable price. The only downsides are that the seats do not recline as much compared to other models we have tested and the rear seat is not as visible because of its position as it is higher than the first seat.

The Joolz Geo 3 is another popular option. It is slim, sleek, and easy to steer and has a lifetime warranty. Although they are narrower side-by-side prams may be larger than tandems and inline doubles. This can make them difficult to maneuver on busy streets and in shops. However, they are often shorter too, so can be more maneuverable in tight spaces than tandems.
