Choosing a Double Pram and Pushchair

A good double pram or pushchair will simplify family life, especially when walking on busy roads or in stores and shops. Choose a model with ample storage space to store nappies, snacks and other essentials.

Some first-time parents choose a pushchair that is future-proof and can be used as a single stroller when baby is born, and transformed into a twin-mode when the baby is born. Joolz offers a variety of these options.

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

Tandem prams (also known as 'in-line' double prams) are a classic style that have two seats or pram bassinets that are arranged side by side.

Certain models let you choose whether your children look at each other or outwards. Many tandems can be converted to a single pushchair when your oldest child is no longer using the second seat.

In terms of price it is cheaper than a twin pushchair, and can be a great choice for parents looking to save money, but not compromise on safety or function. A tandem can be heavy and difficult to steer, particularly when bumping over kerbs. It is also less stable than twin pushchairs especially when a bigger child is riding in the front. A tandem can be difficult to fit on public transport, and it can be difficult to maneuver narrow pavements.

The iCandy Peach is a popular model that is a good option for a single parent who is looking for something that is sleek however, the tandem mode can make it feel quite heavy and long when pushing. It comes with an innovative frame that expands widthways to allow for the addition of the second seat, and is compatible with many combinations of carrycots, buggy seats and car seats (two at once or separately). The iCandy Wave tandem is another lightweight option that's user-friendly and compatible with a range of carrycots or car seats.

Side by side

When it comes time to choose a double pushchair or pram there's plenty to think about. If you're buying for twins or other siblings that are similar in age there are a variety of configuration options to consider. 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 in the bassinet at the top while the toddler or older child is sitting in the second chair.

Some models come with convertible seats, which means you can adapt the configuration to your family's requirements throughout the baby and toddler years. This will allow you to keep your kids always in your sight and also gives them a chance to interact with one another as they walk.

Tandem prams are often jogging or all-terrain buggies that is why they're great for outdoor adventures and in the park. They're also a great option when you have to traverse narrow checkout aisles or isles in supermarkets, as they are generally smaller than single-seaters.

The Redsbaby JIVE3 pram, for example can be utilized in tandem mode from birth with the addition of a Rumble seat. (PS249) If your child gets bored of the rumble chair, you can change to the single pram mode. You can also choose to use the adaptors for car capsules to convert it from a newborn to toddler travel system.

If you're looking for a sleek, stylish pushchair that converts into a side-by-side double then the Egg 2 from Chicco is an excellent choice. It's available in a variety of carrycots and infant seats to accommodate twins or siblings with different age ranges. It's also incredibly easy to collapse.

Convertible

The best double prams and pushchairs are able to be used in multiple ways, and some are even able to change into different seating configurations to meet your family's changing needs. It is possible to fit two toddlers in a seat or a third child on the seat board, and still have room for a shopping basket and the ability to add additional accessories such as rain covers is also a benefit. Convertible double strollers are generally larger and heavier than single pushchairs because they have to hold two or more children. pushchairsandprams.uk is one instance of a low-cost convertible that is user-friendly, however our testers felt that it was a little heavy for the price.

Some convertible double strollers, like the Baby Jogger City Select 2 has a carrycot option which is suitable for newborns. This helps to reduce the size of the double stroller when not in use and makes it more compact. The City Select's clever folding system that is one-handed impressed our test subjects, but it takes some time to master. It's also very responsive and nimble in spite of its size.

Another affordable option is the Cybex Mockingbird Single-to-Double Stroller. It can be converted from a rear-facing infant car seat to a forward-facing toddler seat and the bassinet option 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 positional asphyxia).

If you want more flexibility Consider a convertible that has dual modes like the iCandy Peach. It's a slim double stroller that can accommodate two children side-by-side. It can also be used to make a tandem by adding a second seat kit. It is agile and responsive, and our testers liked its sleek design. It's not as lightweight as some of the other models on our list, but it comes with a big basket that's great for parents carrying bags filled with toys and food items.

Lightweight

Convertible double strollers are an excellent option for parents who already have a child and expect the arrival of a second. The iCandy Peach allows you to convert from a single to a double pushchair, with the addition of either a toddler seat or the brand's carrycot (which is suitable for sleeping at night). Our testers were pleased with how comfortable the seats are and loved the fact that both recline to multiple positions, have built-in foot and leg supports and have UPF 50+ canopy that has peekaboo windows. The rear seat can be raised so that the older child can stand on it to reach the basket of shopping.

Cher said that the only downside of the iCandy Peach was its weight. But she felt this was offset because it's easy to move and offers plenty of storage space with two cup holders for parents and children, seat-back pockets, and a large basket under the seat. She also liked the feature that the seats are adjustable, meaning they can be set to face each other for siblings who want to talk and interact when 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 small and features an auto-standing fold, making it simple to transport or put in your trunk. Parents appreciate the high-quality materials and workmanship, and the cost. The only downsides are that the seats do not recline as much as other models we have tested and the rear seat is not as visible because of its position as it is higher than the first seat.

The Joolz Geo 3 is another popular option. It's slim, sleek and easy to steer and comes with a lifetime warranty. Although they are narrower, side-by-side prams can still be more spacious than tandems and inline doubles. This makes them difficult to maneuver on busy streets and in shops. However, they're usually shorter too, so can be easier to turn in tight spaces than tandems.
