Choosing a Double Pram and Pushchair

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

Some parents who are new to the world choose a pushchair that is future-proof and can be used both as a single stroller when baby is born, and then converted to a twin mode after the baby arrives. Joolz offers a wide range of choices.

Tandem

The news that you're about to have to have a baby is among the most exciting times in your life. After the excitement wears off and the reality of the situation kicks in, you will have to make a number of decisions regarding how to prepare your family for. The proper stroller or pram is one of the most important considerations.

Tandem prams, also referred as "in-line" double prams are a classic design with two bassinets or seats placed side by side. The front seat, which is usually padded, reclines flat and is suitable for newborns. The second seat is upright and is designed to accommodate toddlers as young as 3 years. Some models have reversible seating so you can decide if your children face one another or look at you. A lot of tandems offer the option of being converted into a single pushchair when you decide that your oldest child does not require the second seat.

A tandem is more affordable than twin prams and is an ideal choice for parents looking to save money without compromising safety or functionality. A tandem can be heavy and difficult to steer, especially when bumping over kerbs. It is also less stable than twin pushchairs particularly if a larger child is riding in the front. A tandem can be difficult to fit onto public transport and can be difficult to navigate on narrow pavements.

The iCandy Peach is a popular model with a strong image that's a great choice for a single parent looking for a sleeker design, but the tandem mode can make it feel quite long and heavy when pushing. It has frames that can be expanded 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 a time or separately). The iCandy Wave is another lightweight tandem option that's easy to use and compatible with a variety of carrycots and car seats.

Side by side

There are a lot of things to consider when choosing a double pushchair or pram. If you're buying for twins or siblings close in age, there are a number of configuration choices to think about. Tandem prams (also known as side by side prams) are a popular choice because they can be set up to accommodate infants with a bassinet on the top, while the older infant or toddler sits in the second seat below.

Some models even have reversible seats, which means you can modify the seating to suit your family's needs throughout the baby and toddler years. This allows you to keep your kids always in your sights and also gives them a chance to get to know each other as they stroll.

Tandem prams are usually jogging or all-terrain buggies which makes them ideal for outdoor excursions and the park. They're also a great option if you need to brave narrow checkout aisles or isles in supermarkets as they are generally more compact than single-seaters.

The Redsbaby JIVE3 Pram, for example, can be used as a tandem pram starting from birth in dual mode by adding the use of the rumble seat (PS249). It is then possible to change to a single pram mode once your child gets used to the rumble seat or select the car capsule adaptors (PS53) to transform it into a travel system from infant to toddler.

The Side by Side Pram from Babybee is a different option. The double side-by-side pram is available in a range of colors and is designed in a contemporary style. It is designed to be used from the moment of birth, you can include the LUNA newborn Cocoon (PS262) and the LUNA Infant Seats (PS53 each).

The Egg 2 is a stylish, sleek pushchair that can be converted into a double side-by-side. It's available in a variety of infant seat and carrycot combinations to accommodate twins or siblings of varying age groups and is easy to fold. It's also fairly light and therefore a good choice for those who have smaller vehicles or have limited space for storage.

Convertible

The best double umbrella stroller prams or pushchairs are made into various seats to accommodate your changing needs. You can fit two toddlers in seats or a third child on the seat board and have space for a basket to store your shopping, and the option to add additional accessories such as rain covers is another benefit. Convertible double stroller with bassinet strollers are generally larger and heavier than single pushchairs because they need to hold two or more children. The Graco Modes Nest2Grow is one instance of a low-cost convertible that is extremely user-friendly, but our testers thought it was a little heavy for the money.

Some convertible double seat stroller strollers double strollers like the Baby Jogger City Select 2, have a carrycot option that is suitable for infants. This allows the double stroller with bassinet stroller to be compacted and reduced in size when not used. The City Select's clever, one-handed folding impressed our test subjects, but it takes some time to master. It's also extremely fluid and agile in spite of its size.

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

For greater flexibility, opt for a convertible that has dual modes such as the iCandy Peach. It's a compact double buggy which can accommodate two children side-by-side however it can also be used as a tandem, with the addition of a second seat kit and rider board. It's responsive and agile, and our testers liked its sleek design. It's not as light as some of the other pushchairs in our list however it does come with an enormous shopping basket that is great for parents who carry bags full of toys and food.

Lightweight

Some parents like to future-proof their double buggy when they have one child and are expecting another and a convertible model is an excellent choice. The iCandy Peach allows you to convert from a single to a double pushchair by the addition of either a toddler seat or the brand's optional carrycot (which is suitable for sleeping at night). Our testers were pleased with the comfort of the seats and loved the fact that they can recline in a variety of positions, come with built-in foot and leg supports and generous UPF 50+ canopies with windows that peek out. The rear seat can be lifted high to offer a standing platform for a child to climb off and on, to allow them to access items in the shopping basket.

The only issue with the iCandy Peach is that it is quite heavy, but Cher found that it was overcome by the ease to manoeuvre and how spacious the storage area is, with two hanging child and parent cup holders as well as seat-back pockets, and an enormous underseat basket. Cher also liked that the seats can be reversed so that they can face each other, which is great for siblings who want to talk and interact while out and out and about.

The Delta Children LX Side-by-Side Stroller is a smaller model however, it is still awe-inspiring. It weighs only 18 pounds, is lightweight, and has self-standing fold, making it easy to transport or store in your trunk. Parents are impressed by the quality of materials and workmanship, as well as the low cost. The only negatives are that the seats do not recline as much compared to other models we've tried and the rear seat isn't as visible because of its position and height. It is higher than the seat in front.

The Joolz Geo 3 is another popular option. It is slim, sleek, easy to steer and has a lifetime guarantee. It is important to remember that despite their narrower design Side by side prams are larger than tandems and in-line doubles and can be difficult to navigate through busy footpaths or in stores. They are also shorter and therefore more maneuverable in tight spaces.
