Choosing a Double Pram and Pushchair

A double pram can make life easier for families, especially in busy shopping centers or on busy streets. Choose a model with ample storage space for nappies, snacks and other essentials.

Some parents who are first-time parents choose a future-proof pushchair that can be used as a single pram once baby is born, and later transformed into a twin-mode once he or she is old enough. Joolz offers a variety of these options.

Tandem

The news that you're expecting to have a baby is among the most exciting times in your life. When the excitement wears off and the reality of the situation kicks in, you will be faced with a variety of options for how to prepare your family. One of the most important things to consider is choosing the best pram or pushchair.

Tandem prams, also referred to as "in-line" double prams, are a classic design with two bassinets or seats placed side by side. The front seat, which is usually cushioned, reclines and is suitable for infants. The second seat is upright and designed to accommodate toddlers as young as 3 years. Certain models let you decide if your children will look at each other or face each other. Many tandems have the option of converting into a single pushchair if you decide that your oldest child does not require the second seat.

A tandem is less expensive than twin prams and is an ideal choice for parents who want to save money, but without losing safety or function. However, the drawback of a tandem is that it can feel long and heavy to steer, particularly when bumping up or down kerbs. Additionally, it is usually less stable than a twin pushchair from birth pram especially if the child with the most weight is seated in the front. A tandem can also be difficult to fit onto public transport, and it can be difficult to navigate on narrow roads.

The iCandy Peach is a popular image-conscious model that's a great choice for a single parent looking for a sleeker design however the tandem mode can make it feel quite heavy and long when pushing. It features an innovative frame that can be expanded to accommodate the second seat, and it can be used with a variety of combinations of buggy seats, carrycots and car seats (two at a time or separately). The iCandy Wave tandem is another lightweight option that is easy to use and compatible with a variety of carrycots or car seats.

Side by side

There are many aspects to think about when selecting a double pushchair or pram. Whether you're buying for twins or siblings who are close in age, there are a number of configuration options to consider. Tandem prams, also referred to as side-by-side prams, are popular choices because they can be configured so that the infant is able to sit in the bassinet at the top while the older child or toddler is seated in the second seat.

Some models even feature seats that can be reversible, meaning you can alter the seating arrangement to meet the needs of your family throughout the baby 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 when they walk.

Tandem prams are jogging buggies as well as all-terrain buggies. They are perfect for trips outdoors, such as to the park. They're also a good option for those who have to navigate narrow aisles in the supermarket or at checkouts because they're 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) It is then possible to switch to the single pram mode once your baby is old enough to leave the rumble seat or select the car capsule adaptors (PS53) to turn it into a traveler from infant to toddler.

Another option is the Side by Side Pram from Babybee. This side-by-side double pram is available in a variety of colors and comes with a beautiful modern style. Designed to be used right from the moment of 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 be converted into a side-byside double, the Egg 2 from Chicco is an excellent choice. It's available in a range of carrycot and infant seat combinations to accommodate twins or siblings of different age groups. It's also easy to fold. It is also relatively light and compact, making it a great option for those with smaller vehicles or have limited space to store.

Convertible

The best double running stroller prams and pushchairs are able to be used in multiple ways and some are capable of changing seating configurations to meet your changing family needs. You can fit up to three children on the seat board, or two toddlers in the seats, while still having enough space to carry a shopping bag. Accessories like rain covers are also available. In general, convertible double strollers are more spacious and heavier than single pushchairs because they have to be able to hold two or more children. The Graco Modes Nest2Grow is one example of an affordable convertible which is very user-friendly, however our testers felt that it was a bit heavy for the money.

Some double strollers that can be converted into convertibles like the Baby Jogger City Select 2 come with a carrycot suitable for babies. This helps to reduce the size of the double stroller when it is not being used and makes it smaller. Our testers were impressed with the City Select's unique one-handed fold. However, it takes some time to master. It's also very fluid and agile in spite of its size.

Another option that is reasonably priced is the Cybex Mockingbird Single-to-Double Stroller. It can be converted from a parent facing infant car seat to a forward-facing toddler seat. The bassinet feature is a great choice for infants.

For more flexibility, look for a dual-mode convertible such as the iCandy Peach. It's a compact double stroller that is able to accommodate two children at the same time. It can also be used to make a tandem by adding a second seat kit. It's nimble and responsive, and our testers were impressed by its sleek design. It's not as light as the other pushchairs in our list, but it offers an ample shopping basket that is great for parents who carry bags full of toys and food.

Lightweight

Some parents want to ensure the future of their double buggy if they have one child and are expecting another so a convertible option is an excellent choice. The iCandy Peach allows you to transform from a Single To Double Pushchair to a double pushchair, with the addition of either an infant seat or the brand's optional carrycot (which is suitable for sleeping at night). The seats are very comfortable and our test subjects love that they can be reclined in a variety of positions. They also love the fact that the canopy has an open window that can be seen from afar and has UPF 50+ protection. The rear seat can be raised high to allow the child of a higher age can stand on it to reach the basket of shopping.

Cher stated that the only downside of the iCandy Peach was its weight. However, she believed this was offset by the fact that it is easy to maneuver and comes with plenty of storage space, including two cup holders for parents and their children as well as seat-back pockets and a large basket underneath the seat. She also appreciated the seat's design, which is reversible, so they can be placed to face one another for siblings that want to talk and interact when out and about.

A lighter and equally impressive choice is the Delta Children LX side-by-side stroller that weighs only 18 lbs. It is compact and has a self-standing fold, making it easy to carry and store in your trunk or at home. Parents appreciate the quality of the materials and workmanship as well as the affordable price. The only drawback is that the seats don't recline as much as some other models we've tried, and the rear seat isn't as well-lit because of its position - it's raised higher than the front seats.

The Joolz Geo 3 is another popular option. It's slim, sleek and easy to steer and comes with an unbeatable lifetime warranty. Although they are smaller side-by-side prams may be wider than tandems and inline doubles. This makes them difficult to maneuver around busy footpaths and in shops. They are also smaller and therefore easier to maneuver in tight spaces.
