Choosing a Double Pram and Pushchair

A well-designed double pram or pushchair will simplify family life, especially on busy streets or in shops and stores. Choose a model that has plenty of storage space to store nappies as well as snacks and other essentials.

Some parents who are new to the world choose a future-proof pushchair that can be used both as a single stroller at the time baby is born, and later changed to a twin mode when the baby is born. Joolz offers a range of these options.

Tandem

The announcement that you are expecting a baby is one of the most exciting events in life. But, once the excitement fades and reality sinks in, you may be faced with a myriad of choices regarding 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 right pram or pushchair.

Tandem prams (also known as "in-line" double prams) are a classic style that have two seats or pram bassinets arranged side by side. The front seat, which is typically cushioned, reclines flat and is suitable for newborns. The second seat is a bit higher and is designed to accommodate toddlers as young as three years old. Some models allow you to decide if your children will look at each other or look outwards. A lot of tandems offer the option of converting into a single pushchair if you decide that your oldest child doesn't require the second seat.

A tandem is more affordable than a twin pram and is a great option for parents who want to save money, but without having to sacrifice safety or functional. A tandem can be heavy and difficult to steer, particularly when negotiating the kerbs. It is also less stable than twin pushchairs, especially if an older child is riding 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, a popular model that focuses on image, is a fantastic choice for parents with one child who want a sleeker design. However the tandem mode can make it feel heavy and long to push. It comes with an expanded frame that increases in size to accommodate a second seat. It can be used with a variety of combinations of car seats, buggy seats, and carrycots (two at one time or in separate). The iCandy Wave tandem is another lightweight option that's easy-to-use and compatible with a variety of car seats and carrycots.

Side by side

When it comes to selecting a double pushchair or pram there's plenty to consider. There are numerous configuration options available, whether you're purchasing for twins or close-in-age siblings. Tandem prams, referred to as side-by-side prams, are a popular choices because they can be configured so that the infant is able to sit in the bassinet at the top while the older child or toddler is sitting in the second chair.

Some models even have reversible seats, which means you can alter the seating arrangement to suit your family's needs throughout the baby and toddler years. This lets you keep your little ones always in your sights and also gives them the chance to get to know each other as they stroll.

Tandem prams are usually jogging or all terrain double stroller-terrain buggies, which means they're ideal for outdoor excursions and the park. They're also a good option when you have to traverse narrow checkout aisles or isles in supermarkets because they tend to be smaller than single-seaters.

The Redsbaby JIVE3 Pram, for instance, can be used as a tandem pram starting from birth in the dual mode by adding the use of the rumble seat (PS249). Then, you can switch to the single mode once your baby is old enough to leave the rumble seat, or use the car capsule adaptors (PS53) to turn it into a travel system from infant to toddler.

Another alternative is the Side by Side Pram from Babybee. This double pram and pushchair pram side-by-side is available in a variety of colours and has an attractive modern style. The design is intended to be used right from the moment of birth, you can choose to add the LUNA newborn cocoon (PS262) or the LUNA infant seats (PS53 each) to ensure your baby is comfortable and safe.

If you're looking for a sleek, elegant pushchair that can be converted into a side-by-side double and a side-by-side double, the Egg 2 from Chicco is a great option. It's available in a range of infant seat and carrycot configurations to accommodate twins or siblings of different ages and is super-easy to fold. It's also fairly lightweight, making it a good choice for those who have small cars or limited space for storage.

Convertible

Some of the best double pushchairs or prams can be set up to meet your needs as they change. 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 shopping basket, and the capability to add accessories such as rain covers is another plus. Convertible double strollers are generally heavier and larger than single pushchairs double due to the fact that they are designed to accommodate two or more children. The Graco Modes Nest2Grow is one instance of a low-cost convertible that is user-friendly, however our testers felt that it was a bit heavy for the price.

Some double strollers that can be converted into convertibles like the Baby Jogger City Select 2 have a carrycot that is suitable for babies. This helps to reduce the size of the double stroller when not in use, and makes it smaller. The City Select's innovative single-handed folding impressed our test subjects, but it takes some time to master. It's also very nimble and responsive, despite it being bigger than other double strollers.

The Cybex Mockingbird single-to-double stroller is another option that is reasonably priced. The seat converts from a parent-facing infant car seat to a forward-facing toddler seat and the bassinet option is a fantastic option for infants (although remember that babies under four months old shouldn't sleep in strollers because of the risk of positional asphyxia).

If you want more flexibility look into a convertible with dual modes like the iCandy Peach. It's a compact double stroller that is able to accommodate two children side-by-side. It can also be used to create a tandem by adding a second seat kit. It's nimble and responsive and our test participants loved its sleek design. It's not as light as the other pushchairs on our list however, it comes with an ample shopping basket that is handy for parents carrying bags of toys and food.

Lightweight

Convertible double strollers are an excellent option for parents who already have children and anticipate another. The iCandy Peach allows you to change from a single to double stroller pushchair to a double push chair pushchair by the addition of either a toddler seat or the brand's carrycot (which is suitable for sleeping at night). The seats are extremely comfortable and our testers love the fact that they can recline in multiple positions. They also love the feature that the canopy comes with a window that peeks out and offers UPF 50+ protection. The rear seat can be lifted high to offer an elevated platform for the older child to climb on and off, so that they can reach things in the basket of groceries.

Cher stated that the only negative aspect of the iCandy Peach was its weight. But she felt this was offset because it is easy to maneuver and has plenty of storage, including two cup holders for children and parents as well as seat-back pockets and a large basket under the seat. Cher also appreciated that seats can be flipped so that they can face each other. This is perfect for siblings who want to talk and interact while out and about.

A lighter, but equally impressive choice is the Delta Children LX side-by-side stroller that weighs just 18 pounds, is extremely compact and has an auto-standing fold that makes it easy to transport and store in your trunk or at home. Parents love the quality of the materials and craftsmanship as well as the low price point. The only issue is that the seats don't recline as far as the other models we've tried, and the rear seat isn't very well-lit because of its position that is higher than the front seats.

The Joolz Geo 3 is another popular option. It's slim, sleek, and easy to steer and has a lifetime warranty. While they're smaller than side-by-side strollers, they can be more spacious than tandems and inline doubles. This can make them difficult to maneuver on busy footpaths and in shops. They are also smaller and therefore more maneuverable in tight spaces.
