Choosing a Double Pram and Pushchair

A well-designed double pram or pushchair can simplify family life, especially on busy footpaths or in the shops and stores. Find a model that has generous storage space for stowing nappies, snacks, and other essentials.

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

Tandem

The news that you're expecting the birth of a child is one of the most exciting events in life. However, after the excitement of the beginning fades and reality begins to sink in, you may be faced with a myriad of decisions about how to prepare your family for the arrival of your little one or one. One of the most important aspects to consider is choosing the best pram or pushchair.

Tandem prams (also known as "in-line" double prams) are a classic style with two seats or pram bassinets that are arranged side by side. The front seat is usually padded and reclines to a flat angle, making it suitable for babies, while the second seat is more upright and can be used by toddlers as young as three years old. older. Some models let you choose whether your children look at each other or look outwards. A lot of tandems offer the option to convert into a single pushchair if you decide that your child's oldest doesn't require the second seat.

In terms of price, a tandem is much cheaper than a twin pushchair, and can be a great choice for parents who want to save money, but not compromise on safety or convenience. A tandem can be heavy and difficult to steer, especially when you're tripping over curbs. It is also less stable than twin prams, especially if an older child is seated in the front. A tandem can be difficult to place on public transport, and it may be difficult to maneuver narrow pavements.

The iCandy Peach is a popular model with a strong image that's a great option for a single parent looking for a sleeker design, but the tandem mode can make it feel heavy and long when pushing. It features an innovative frame that expands in width to allow for the addition of the second seat, and it can be used with a variety of combinations of carrycots, buggy chairs and car seats (two at once or separately). The iCandy Wave tandem is another lightweight option that's user-friendly and compatible with a variety 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 a double pram for twins or other siblings that are similar in age there are plenty 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 top while the older toddler or infant is in the seat below.

Some models come with convertible seats, which means you can modify the seating to meet the needs of your family throughout the toddler and baby years. This allows you to see your children at all times and allows them to interact as they walk.

Tandem prams are often jogging buggies or all-terrain ones that is why they're great for outdoor excursions and the park. They're also a great option for those who have to navigate narrow supermarket isles or checkouts as they're generally more compact than single-seaters.

The Redsbaby JIVE3 Pram, for example, can be used as a tandem pram from birth in the dual mode with the addition of the rumble seat (PS249). When your child grows out of the rumble chair you can change to the single pram mode. You can also choose to use the adaptors for car capsules to transform it from a newborn to toddler travel system.

The Side by Side Pram made by Babybee is another alternative. The side-by-side double pram is available in a variety of colors and comes with an elegant modern design. Designed to be used from birth, you can add the LUNA newborn cocoon (PS262) or the LUNA infant seats (PS53 each) to ensure your children are comfortable and safe.

The Egg 2 is a stylish elegant pushchair that is able to be converted into a double stroller for tall child side by side. It's available in a variety of carrycot and infant seat combinations to cater for twins or siblings of varying ages and is super-easy to fold. It's also relatively lightweight, which makes it a great choice for those with smaller cars or a limited storage space.

Convertible

Some of the best double prams or pushchairs are configured into different seats to accommodate your changing needs. It is possible to fit up to three children on the seat board or two toddlers in the seats, and still have enough space for shopping bags. Accessories like rain covers are also available. Convertible double strollers tend to be heavier and larger than single pushchairs, as they have to hold two or more children. The Graco Modes Nest2Grow is one example of a convertible that is affordable that is user-friendly, however our test subjects felt it was a little heavy for its price.

Some double strollers that can be converted into convertibles like the Baby Jogger City Select 2 include a carrycot suitable for babies. This reduces the size of the double stroller when not in use and makes it smaller. Our test participants were awestruck by the City Select's unique one-handed fold, though it does take some time to master. It's also extremely fluid and agile even despite its size.

Another affordable option is an affordable option is the Cybex Mockingbird Single-to-Double Stroller. It can be transformed from a parent facing infant car seat to a forward-facing toddler seat. The bassinet mode is a great option for infants.

To be more flexible, opt for a dual-mode convertible like the iCandy Peach. It's a small double stroller double buggy that can fit two children in a row however 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 liked its sleek design. It's not as light like some of the other models on our list, but it has a large basket that is useful for parents who have to carry bags of toys and other items.

Lightweight

Some parents like to future-proof their double pushchair if they have one child and are expecting another, so a convertible option is a great option. The iCandy Peach can be converted from a single pushchair into double with the addition of a toddler seat, or the brand's carrycot (which is ideal for overnight sleeping). The seats are extremely comfortable and our test subjects love that they can recline in multiple positions. They also like the fact that the canopy has a window that peeks out and offers UPF 50+ protection. The rear seat can also be raised to provide a standing platform for the child to get off and on so that they can access items in the basket of groceries.

Cher said that the only downside of the iCandy Peach was its weight. However, she felt this was offset by the fact that it's easy to move and offers plenty of storage space with two cup holders for parents and their children seats-back pockets, as well as an enormous basket underneath the seat. Cher also appreciated the feature that the seats are reversible, so they can be set to face each other for siblings that want to chat and interact together when out and about.

A lighter-weight but just as impressive choice is the Delta Children LX side-by-side stroller that weighs just 18 lbs, is super compact and features a self-standing fold, making it easy to transport and store in your trunk or at home. Parents love the quality of materials and workmanship, as well as the cost. The only drawback is that the seats don't recline as far as the other models we've tested and the rear seat doesn't have great visibility due to its position - it's raised higher than the front seat.

Another popular choice 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 streets and in shops. They are also smaller, making them more maneuverable in tight spaces.
