Choosing a Double Pram and Pushchair

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

Some first-time parents opt for an infant pushchair that can be used as a single pram when baby is born, and later changed into a twin mode after the baby is old enough. Joolz offers a wide range of options.

Tandem

The news that you're about to have the birth of a child is one of the most exciting events in your life. However, after the excitement of the beginning fades and the reality sets into your life, you'll be faced with a myriad of decisions regarding how to prepare your family for the arrival of your baby one or one. The right pram or stroller is one of the most crucial considerations.

Tandem prams (also called 'in-line' double prams) are a classic design with two bassinets or seats for prams arranged side-by-side. The front seat, which is usually cushioned, reclines flat and is suitable for infants. The second seat is upright and is designed to accommodate toddlers as young as three years. Some models come with the option of reversible seating, which lets you decide if your children face towards each other or gaze at you. Many tandems have the option of converting into a single pushchair when you decide that your child's oldest doesn't require the second seat.

In terms of cost, a tandem is much cheaper than a twin pushchair and can be a great choice for parents who want to save money but not compromising on safety or function. However, the drawback of a tandem is that it may be heavy and long to steer especially when moving up and down kerbs, and 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 be difficult to place on public transportation, and it can be difficult to maneuver narrow pavements.

The iCandy Peach is a popular model that is a good choice for a single parent who wants something streamlined however, the tandem mode can make it feel quite long and heavy when pushing. It has a frame that expands in size to accommodate a second seat. It can be used with a variety of combinations of buggy seats, car seats, and carrycots (two at a time or separately). The iCandy Wave tandem is another lightweight option that is easy to use and compatible with a range of carrycots or car seats.

Side by side

There are many aspects to take into consideration when selecting a double pram or pushchair. There are a variety of configuration options available, whether you're purchasing for twins or close-in-age siblings. Tandem prams, also referred to as side-by-side prams are popular choices due to the fact that they can be set up so that the infant can sit n stand double stroller in the bassinet on top while the toddler or older child is sitting in the second chair.

Certain models come with reversible seats that allow you to customize the configuration for your family during the baby and toddler years. This lets you keep your little ones always in your sights and gives them a an opportunity to interact with 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 good choice if you need to brave narrow checkout aisles or isles in supermarkets because they're generally more compact than single-seaters.

The Redsbaby JIVE3 Pram, for instance can be used as a tandem pram right from birth in the dual mode, with the addition of the rumble seat (PS249). If your child is no longer a member of the rumble chair, you can change to the single pram mode. You may also opt to use the car capsule adaptors to transform it from a newborn to a toddler travel system.

Another option is the Side by Side Pram from Babybee. This double pram side-by-side is available in a range of colors and features an elegant modern design. Designed to be used right from birth, you can also add the LUNA Cocoon for newborns (PS262) and the LUNA Infant Seats (PS53 each).

If you're looking for a sleek, elegant pushchair that can convert into a side-by-side double then the Egg 2 from Chicco is an excellent choice. It comes in a range of infant seats and carrycots to accommodate twins or siblings of different age groups. It's also incredibly easy to collapse. It is also relatively lightweight and therefore a good choice for those who have smaller vehicles or have limited space to store.

Convertible

The top double prams and pushchairs are versatile, and some are even capable of changing seating configurations to meet your family's changing needs. You can fit two toddlers in the seats or even a third one on the seat board and have space for a shopping basket and the capability to add accessories like rain covers is also a advantage. Convertible double strollers are generally heavier and bulkier than single pushchairs, as they need to hold two or more children. The Graco Modes Nest2Grow is one example of a convertible that is affordable that is extremely user-friendly, however our test subjects felt it was a bit heavy for its price.

Some double strollers that convert into convertibles, such as the Baby Jogger City Select 2 include a carrycot suitable for newborns. This helps to reduce the size of the double stroller when it is not in use and makes it more compact. Our test participants were awestruck by the City Select's clever one-handed fold, although it takes some time to master. It's also extremely agile and responsive, despite its size.

Another option that is reasonably priced is an affordable option 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 option for infants.

If you're looking for more flexibility Consider a convertible that has dual modes such as the iCandy Peach. It's a compact double buggy for twins buggy that can fit 2 children side by side, but it can also be used as a tandem, with the addition of a second-seat kit and rider board. It's nimble and responsive and our testers loved its sleek design. It's not quite as lightweight like some of the other models on our list, however it does come with a huge basket that's ideal for parents who have to carry bags of toys and other items.

Lightweight

Some parents prefer to secure their double buggy when they have one child and are expecting another and a convertible model is a great option. The iCandy Peach allows you to change from a single pushchair to a double pushchair with the addition of a toddler seat or the brand's carrycot (which is suitable for sleeping at night). The seats are very comfortable and our test subjects love the fact that they can recline in various positions. They also appreciate 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 basket of shopping.

Cher stated that the only negative aspect of the iCandy Peach was its weight. But she felt this was offset by the fact that it is easy to maneuver and offers 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 feature that the seats are convertible, which means they can be placed to face one another for siblings who want to talk and get together while out and 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 and has a self-standing fold that makes it easy to transport and put in your trunk or at home. Parents are impressed by the quality of the materials and workmanship as well as the price is low. The only downside is that the seats don't recline as much as some other models we've tried and the back seat isn't as well-lit due to its position - it's raised higher than the front seat.

The Joolz Geo 3 is another popular choice. It's slim, sleek, and easy to steer and has a lifetime guarantee. Although they are smaller than side-by-side strollers, they can be larger than tandems and inline doubles. This can make them difficult to maneuver around busy footpaths and in shops. They are also shorter which makes them easier to maneuver in tight spaces.
