Choosing a Double Pram and Pushchair

A double pram or pushchair can simplify family life, especially on busy footpaths or in shops and stores. Select a model that offers ample storage space for nappies, snacks, and other essentials.

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

Tandem

The news that you're expecting to have a baby is among the most exciting times in your life. However, once the excitement fades and the reality sets in, you may be faced with a variety of decisions about how to prepare your family for the arrival of your new one or one. The proper stroller or pram is among the most crucial 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, which is typically cushioned, 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 allow you to select whether your children stare at each other or face each other. Many tandems also have the option to convert into a single pushchair if you decide your oldest child doesn't require the second seat.

A tandem is less expensive than a twin pram and can be a great option for parents who want to save money without compromising safety or functionality. A tandem can be a bit heavy and difficult to steer, especially when negotiating curbs. It is also less stable than twin stroller prams, especially if an older child is in the front. A tandem isn't always easy to fit on public transport, and it may be difficult to maneuver narrow pavements.

The iCandy Peach, a popular model that focuses on image, is an excellent choice for a single parent who wants an attractive style. However, the tandem mode makes it feel long and heavy to push. It comes with a frame that expands in dimensions to accommodate the 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 is another lightweight twin buggy tandem option that is easy to use and compatible with a range of car seats and carrycots.

Side by side

There are many aspects to take into consideration when selecting a double pram or pushchair. Whether you're buying for twins or other siblings that are similar in age there are plenty of configuration options to take into account. Tandem prams (also known as side by side prams) are a popular choice since they can be set up to fit infants in a bassinet on the top while the older infant or toddler sits in the seat below.

Some models come with reversible seats, which means you can alter the seating arrangement to your family's requirements throughout the toddler and baby years. This will allow you to keep your kids always in your sight and also gives them a an opportunity to interact with each other while they walk.

Tandem prams are typically jogging buggies or all-terrain ones that is why they're great for outdoor excursions and the park. They're also ideal for narrow aisles and checkouts in supermarkets and shops as they are more compact.

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

Another option is the Side by Side Pram from Babybee. The double side-by-side pram is available in a variety of colours and is designed with a modern style. The design is intended to be used right from birth, you can add the LUNA newborn cocoon (PS262) or the LUNA infant seats (PS53 each) to ensure your baby is secure and comfortable.

The Egg 2 is a stylish elegant pushchair that can be converted into a double side-by-side. It comes in a range of infant seats and carrycots to accommodate twins or siblings with different ages. It's also incredibly easy to collapse. It's also fairly light making it a great choice for those with smaller cars or a limited storage space.

Convertible

The best twin stroller double prams or pushchairs can be made into various seats to accommodate your changing needs. You can fit up to three children on the seat board or two toddlers in the seats, with room for a shopping bag. Accessories such as rain covers are also available. Convertible Double Buggy Converts To Single strollers are generally heavier and larger than single pushchairs due to the fact that they are designed to accommodate two or more children. The Graco Modes Nest2Grow is one example of a convertible that is affordable that is extremely easy to use, although our test subjects felt it was a bit heavy for the money.

Some double strollers that convert into convertibles, such as the Baby Jogger City Select 2 include a carrycot suitable for infants. This allows the double stroller to be folded down and reduced in size when it is not used. Our testers were impressed with the City Select's unique one-handed fold, though it does take some time to master. It's also very fluid and agile, despite its size.

The Cybex Mockingbird single-to-smallest double buggy stroller is another affordable option. It can be converted from a parent-facing infant car seat to a forward-facing toddler seat, and the bassinet mode is a great choice for infants (although remember that babies under 4 months old should not be able to sleep in strollers due to the risk of positional asphyxia).

If you want more flexibility, consider a dual-mode convertible such as the iCandy Peach. It's a small double buggy which can accommodate 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 is responsive and nimble and our testers loved its sleek design. It's not as lightweight like some of the other models on our list but it comes with a big basket that's ideal for parents who have to carry bags full of toys and groceries.

Lightweight

Convertible double infant stroller strollers are a great option for parents who already have one child and are expecting the arrival of a second. The iCandy Peach can be converted from a single pushchair to double with the addition of a toddler seat or the brand's carrycot (which works well for sleeping at night). Our testers were pleased with the comfort of the seats and loved the fact that they both recline to multiple positions, come with built-in foot and leg supports and generous UPF 50+ canopy that has windows that peek out. The rear seat can be raised high so that the older child can stand on it to reach the shopping basket.

The only drawback of the iCandy Peach is that it is quite heavy, however Cher felt this was balanced by the ease to maneuver and how large the storage area is equipped with two hanging parent and child cup holders, seat-back pockets and a large underseat storage basket. Cher also loved that the seats can be reversed so that they face each other, which is perfect for siblings who want to chat and have conversations while out and out and about.

A lighter and equally impressive option is the Delta Children LX side-by-side stroller that weighs just 18 lbs. It is compact and has an auto-standing fold that makes it easy to carry and store in your trunk or at home. Parents appreciate the quality of the materials and craftsmanship as well as the low price point. The only downside is that the seats don't recline as far as the other models we've tested, and the rear seat isn't as well-lit due to its position - it's raised higher than the front seat.

Another popular option is the Joolz Geo 3, which is slim and sleek. It is also easy to steer, with an attractive design and lifetime guarantee. Although they are smaller than side-by-side strollers, they can be wider than tandems and inline doubles. This can make them difficult to maneuver on busy footpaths and in shops. However, they're usually shorter too, so can be more maneuverable in tight spaces than tandems.
