Choosing a double pram and pushchair (look at this website)

A well-designed double pram or pushchair will simplify the lives of families, especially on busy footpaths or in shops and stores. Find a model that has ample storage space to store nappies, 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 once baby is born, and converted to a twin mode after he or she arrives. Joolz has a variety of options.

Tandem

The announcement that you're expecting a child is among life's most exciting moments. But, once the excitement of the beginning fades and the reality sets in, you may be faced with a multitude of decisions about how to prepare your family for the arrival of your new one or one. One of the most important considerations is choosing the correct pram or pushchair.

Tandem prams (also known as 'in-line' double prams) are a classic design that feature two seats or pram bassinets arranged side by side. The front seat, which is usually padded, reclines flat and is suitable for babies. The second seat is more upright and is designed to accommodate toddlers as young as 3 years. Certain models feature seats that can be reversible, so you can choose to have your children face one another or look at you. Many tandems have the option of converting into a single pushchair if you decide your oldest child does not require the second seat.

A tandem is less expensive than a twin pram and can be an ideal choice for parents who wish to save money, but without having to sacrifice safety or functional. However, the drawback of a tandem is that it can feel long and heavy to steer especially when moving up and down kerbs. It is often less stable than a twin pushchair, especially if the child who is older is seated in the front. A tandem can be difficult to fit onto public transport and can be difficult to navigate on narrow pavements.

The iCandy Peach, a popular model that focuses on image, is a fantastic choice for a single parent who wants an attractive design. However, the tandem mode makes it feel heavy and long to push. It comes with an expanded frame that increases in width to accommodate the second seat. It can be used with a range of combinations of car seats, buggy seats, and carrycots (two at simultaneously or separately). The iCandy Wave tandem is another lightweight option that's easy-to-use and compatible with a variety of carrycots or car seats.

Side by side

When it comes time to choose a double pram or pushchair, there's a lot to think about. There are a variety of configuration options to choose from, whether you're buying 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 can sit in the bassinet on top while the toddler or older child is seated in the second seat.

Some models even feature seats that can be reversible, meaning you can adapt the configuration to meet the needs of your family throughout the baby and toddler years. This allows you to keep your children always in your sight and also gives them a chance to get to know each other as they stroll.

Tandem prams can be jogging buggies or all-terrain buggies. They are ideal for outdoor excursions, like to the park. They're also a great option if you need to brave narrow supermarket isles or checkouts as they are generally more compact double stroller than single-seaters.

The Redsbaby JIVE3 Pram, for instance, can be used as a tandem pram right from birth in dual mode with the addition of the rumble seat (PS249). It is then possible to change to a single pram mode once your child is old enough to leave the rumble seat or select the car capsule adaptors (PS53) to transform it into a travel system from newborn to toddler.

The Side by Side Pram by Babybee is another alternative. This double side-byside pram comes in a variety of colours and is designed with a contemporary 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, elegant pushchair that can be converted into a side-byside double, the Egg 2 from Chicco is a great option. It comes in a range of infant and carrycots to accommodate twins or siblings of different ages. It's also 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 double prams and pushchairs can be used in a variety of ways and some are capable of changing seating arrangements to meet your changing family needs. You can fit two toddlers in the seats or even a third one on the seat board and have space for a shopping basket and the ability to add additional accessories such as rain covers is also a advantage. Most convertible double strollers are bigger and heavier than single pushchairs because they are required to be able to hold two or more children. The Graco Modes Nest2Grow is one example of a convertible that is affordable which is very user-friendly, but 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 come with a carrycot suitable for newborns. This allows the double buggy that converts to single stroller to be compacted and reduce in size when not used. The City Select's innovative folding system that is one-handed impressed our testers however it requires some time to master. It's also quite agile and responsive, despite being bigger than other double strollers.

Another affordable option is the Cybex Mockingbird Single-to-Double Stroller. It can be converted from a parent-facing infant car seat to a forward-facing toddler seat and the bassinet option is a fantastic option for infants (although be aware that babies younger than 4 months old should never be able to sleep in strollers due to the risk of positional asphyxia).

For more flexibility, look for a convertible with dual modes like the iCandy Peach. It's a small double buggy which can accommodate two children side-by-side and can be used as a tandem, with the addition of a second seat kit and rider board. It's agile and responsive, and our test users liked its sleek design. It's not as light as some of the other pushchairs we've reviewed however it does come with an enormous shopping basket that is ideal for parents with bags full of groceries and toys.

Lightweight

Convertible double strollers are a great option for parents who have children and anticipate another. The iCandy Peach allows you to change from a single pushchair to a double pushchair, with the addition of either a toddler seat or the brand's optional carrycot (which is suitable for overnight sleeping). The seats are extremely comfortable and our test subjects love the fact that they can recline in various positions. They also appreciate the fact that the canopy has a window that peeks out and offers UPF 50+ protection. The rear seat can be raised high so that the older child can stand on it to reach the shopping basket.

Cher said that the only negative aspect of the iCandy Peach was its weight. However, she believed this was offset because it is easy to move and comes with plenty of storage space with two cup holders for parents and children as well as seat-back pockets and a large basket underneath the seat. Cher also appreciated that the seats can be reversed so that they face each other, which is great for siblings who want to chat and have conversations while out and about.

The Delta Children LX Side-by-Side Stroller is a smaller model, but still impressive. It weighs only 18 pounds, is lightweight, and has a self standing fold, making it easy to transport or store in your trunk. Parents love the quality of the materials and workmanship as well as the price is low. The only downside is that the seats don't recline as much as other models we've tried and the rear seat doesn't have great visibility because of its position - it's raised higher than the front seats.

The Joolz Geo 3 is another popular choice. It's slim, sleek, easy to steer, and comes with an unbeatable lifetime warranty. It's worth bearing in mind that despite their narrower design Side by side prams are still wider than tandem and in-line doubles. They can be difficult to navigate through crowded footpaths or in shops. They're also shorter, making them easier to maneuver in tight spaces.
