Choosing a Double Pram and Pushchair

A double pram can make life easier for families, particularly in bustling stores or on busy streets. Find a model that has ample storage space for nappies, snacks and other essentials.

Some parents who are first-time parents opt for a future-proof pushchair that can be used both as a single stroller when baby is born, and then changed to a twin mode after the baby arrives. Joolz offers a wide range of options.

Tandem

The announcement that you're expecting to have a baby is among the most exciting events in your life. However, after the excitement fades and the reality sets into your life, you'll be faced with a myriad of decisions about how to prepare your family for the arrival of your baby one or ones. The best stroller or pram is one of the most important considerations.

Tandem prams, also referred as "in-line" double prams, are a classic design that has two seats or bassinets placed side-by-side. The front seat is typically covered in padding and reclines to a flat angle, making it suitable for babies while the second one is more upright and is able to accommodate toddlers from around three years of age. Some models have the option of reversible seating, which lets you choose to have your children face towards each other or gaze at you. Many tandems can be converted to a single pushchair when your oldest child is no longer required to have the second seat.

A tandem is cheaper than a twin pram and is a great option for parents looking to save money, without losing safety or function. A tandem can be a bit heavy and difficult to steer, particularly when bumping over curbs. It's also less stable than twin pushchairs, especially if an older child is seated in the front. A tandem can be difficult to fit onto public transport and can be difficult to maneuver on narrow pavements.

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

Side by side

There are a lot of things to take into consideration when selecting a double pushchair or pram. There are numerous configuration options to choose from, regardless of whether you're buying for twins or close-in-age siblings. Tandem prams (also known as side by side prams) are popular choices as they can be configured to accommodate infants in a bassinet on top, while the older toddler or infant is in the lower seat below.

Some models have reversible seats that allow you to customize the seating arrangement for your family throughout the baby and toddler years. This will allow you to keep your children always in your sight and gives them a chance to interact with each other as they stroll.

Tandem prams can be jogging buggies or all terrain double stroller-terrain buggies. They are great for outdoor excursions, such as to the park. They're also a great option when you have to traverse narrow aisles in the supermarket or at checkouts, as they are generally smaller than single-seaters.

The Redsbaby JIVE3 Pram, for instance can be used as a tandem pram from birth in the dual mode with the addition of the rumble seat (PS249). When your child grows out of the rumble chair you can change to a single pram mode. You can also choose to use the adaptors for car capsules to convert it from a newborn into a toddler travel system.

Another alternative is the Side by Side Pram from Babybee. This double pram side-by-side is available in a range of colors and features a beautiful modern style. Designed to be used right from birth, you can include 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 then the Egg 2 from Chicco is an excellent choice. It comes in a range of infant and carrycots to accommodate twins or siblings with different age groups. It's also incredibly easy to fold. It's also light and therefore a good option for people with smaller vehicles or have limited space for storage.

Convertible

The best twin stroller double prams and pushchairs are able to be used in multiple ways, and some are even capable of changing 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 and still have room for a shopping bag. Accessories such as rain covers are also available. Convertible double strollers are generally heavier and bulkier 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 easy to use. However, our reviewers found it to be quite heavy for its price.

Some double strollers that convert into convertibles, such as the Baby Jogger City Select 2 have a carrycot that is suitable for babies. This helps to reduce the size of the nipper double buggy stroller when it is not in use, and makes it smaller. Our test subjects were awed by the City Select's clever one-handed fold, though it requires a bit of practice. It's also very nimble and responsive, despite it being bigger than other double strollers.

Another option that is reasonably priced is an option that is affordable is the Cybex Mockingbird Single-to-Double Stroller. It converts from a parent-facing infant car seat to a forward-facing toddler seat and the bassinet option is a great choice for infants (although keep in mind that infants under 4 months old should not be able to sleep in strollers due to the risk of positional asphyxia).

If you want more flexibility look into a convertible with dual modes 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 seating kit. It's nimble and responsive, and our testers liked its sleek design. It's not as light like some of the other models on our list but it comes with a big basket that's great for parents who have to carry bags full of toys and other items.

Lightweight

Some parents want to ensure the future of their double buggy when they have one child and are expecting another so a convertible option is a good option. The iCandy Peach can be converted from a Single double Stroller pushchair to a double buggy travel system with the addition of a toddler's seat or the brand's carrycot (which is great to sleep at night). The seats are extremely comfortable and our testers love that they can be reclined in a variety of positions. They also love the design of the canopy, which has a peekaboo window and UPF 50+ protection. The rear seat can be raised high so that the child who is older can stand on it to reach the shopping basket.

Cher said that the only disadvantage of the iCandy Peach was its weight. However, she believed this was offset because it's easy to move and comes with plenty of storage space with two cup holders for children and parents as well as seat-back pockets and a large basket underneath the seat. Cher also liked that the seats can be reversed so that they face each other, which is perfect for siblings who like to talk and interact when out and about.

A lighter-weight but just as impressive option is the Delta Children LX side-by-side stroller, which weighs only 18 lbs. It is compact and has a self-standing fold that makes it easy to transport and store in your trunk or at home. Parents are impressed by the quality of materials and workmanship, as well as the low price. The only drawbacks are that the seats do not recline as well as other models we've tried and the rear seat isn't as prominent due to its position and height. It is higher than the seat in front.

The Joolz Geo 3 is another popular option. It is slim, sleek, and easy to steer and comes with a lifetime guarantee. It's important to keep in mind that, despite their smaller size Side by side prams are still more spacious than tandem and in-line doubles. They can be tricky to navigate on busy footpaths or in stores. They are also smaller which makes them more maneuverable in tight spaces.
