Choosing a Double Pram and Pushchair

A double pram can simplify life for families, particularly in busy shops or on busy streets. Look for a model with generous storage space for stowing 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 bub is born and then converted into a twin mode when the baby has arrived. Joolz offers a variety of these options.

Tandem

The news that you're expecting the birth of a child is one of the most exciting events in life. When the excitement wears off and the reality of the situation begins to set in, you'll be faced with a variety of options for how you can prepare your family. The right pram or stroller is one of the most important considerations.

Tandem prams (also called 'in-line' double prams) are a classic style that feature two seats or pram bassinets arranged side-by-side. The front seat, which is typically cushioned, reclines and is suitable for babies. The second seat is a bit higher and designed to fit toddlers as young as three years old. Certain models feature reversible seating so you can choose to have your children face one another or look at you. Many tandems can be converted to one pushchair when your oldest child is no longer in need of the second seat.

In terms of price it is cheaper than a twin pushchair and is a great option for parents looking to save money without compromising on safety or functionality. However, the drawback of a tandem is that it could be a bit heavy and lengthy to steer, particularly when moving up and down kerbs, and it is usually less stable than a twin pram, especially if the child who is older is sitting in the front. A tandem can be difficult to place on public transportation, and it can be difficult to navigate narrow pavements.

The iCandy Peach, a popular model with a focus on image, is an excellent option for parents with one child who want a sleeker design. However the tandem mode can make it feel long and heavy to push. It has an innovative frame that expands in width to allow the addition of the second seat, and it is compatible with many combinations of carrycots, buggy chairs and car seats (two at a time or separately). 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

When it comes to selecting a double pushchair or pram there's a lot to consider. There are numerous configuration options available, whether you're buying for twins or close-in-age siblings. Tandem prams (also called side by side prams) are a popular choice since they can be configured to fit infants in a bassinet on top while the older infant or toddler sits in the seat below.

Certain models come with reversible seats that allow you to customize the configuration for your family during the baby and toddler years. This allows you to see your children at all times, and allows them to be a part of the journey as they walk.

Tandem prams are often all-terrain buggies or jogging ones 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're generally more compact than single-seaters.

The Redsbaby JIVE3 Pram, for instance can be used as a tandem pram starting from birth in the dual mode, with the addition of the rumble seat (PS249). If your child gets bored of the rumble seat, you can switch to one pram mode. You can also choose to make use of the car capsule adaptors to convert it from a newborn to a toddler travel system.

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

If you're looking for a sleek, stylish pushchair that converts into a side-by-side double, the Egg 2 from Chicco is an excellent choice. It's available in a variety of carrycot and infant seat configurations to accommodate twins or siblings of different age groups and is easy to fold. It is also relatively lightweight and compact, making it a great choice for those who have little space in their cars or don't have enough space for storage.

Convertible

The best double prams and pushchairs can be used in a variety of ways and some are able to change into different seat configurations to suit your changing family needs. It is possible to fit two toddlers in the seats or even a third one on the seat board, and still have room for a basket to store your shopping, and the ability to add accessories like rain covers is another benefit. Typically, convertible double strollers double strollers are bigger and heavier than single pushchairs because they have to be able to hold two or more children. The Graco Modes Nest2Grow is one instance of a low-cost convertible that is extremely easy to use, although our testers thought it was a little heavy for the price.

Some double strollers that can be converted into convertibles like the Baby Jogger City Select 2 include a carrycot suitable for newborns. This reduces the size of the double stroller when not in use, and makes it smaller. Our test subjects were awed by the City Select's clever one-handed fold, although it takes some practice. It's also very nimble and responsive, despite 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 pushchairs Stroller. It converts from a rear-facing infant car seat to a forward-facing toddler seat and the bassinet-style mode is a great option for infants (although remember that babies under 4 months old should never be able to sleep in strollers due to the risk of asphyxia in a position).

For greater flexibility, opt for a convertible that has dual modes like the iCandy Peach. It's a small double buggy that converts to single buggy that can fit 2 children side by side and can be used as a tandem by the addition of a second-seat kit and rider board. It is nimble and agile, and our testers were impressed by its sleek design. It's not as lightweight like some of the other models on our list but it has a large basket that's ideal for parents carrying bags filled with 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 an excellent choice. The iCandy Peach allows you to change from a single pushchair 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 noted how comfortable the seats are and adore the fact that they both recline to different positions, come with built-in leg and foot supports and generous UPF 50+ canopy that has peekaboo windows. The rear seat can be raised to allow the child of a higher age can stand on it to reach the shopping basket.

The only issue with the iCandy Peach is that it is quite heavy, but Cher found that it was overcome by its ease to maneuver and how large the storage space is equipped with two hanging child and parent cup holders, seat-back pockets and a large underseat storage basket. She also liked the seat's design, which is adjustable, meaning they can be set to face each other for siblings who wish to talk and get together when out and about.

A lighter, but equally impressive option is the Delta Children LX side-by-side stroller, which weighs only 18 pounds, is extremely compact and has a self-standing fold that makes it easy to carry and store in your trunk or at home. Parents appreciate the high-quality materials and workmanship, and the price. The only issue is that the seats don't recline as far as some other models we've tested and the back seat isn't as well-lit because of its position - it's raised higher than the front seats.

Another popular option is the Joolz Geo 3, which is slim, sleek and easy to steer, with an attractive design and lifetime guarantee. It's important to keep in mind that despite their narrower design, side by side prams are still more spacious than tandem and in-line doubles. They can be tricky to navigate on busy streets or in shops. They are also smaller which makes them more maneuverable in tight spaces.
