Choosing a Double Pram and Pushchair

A good double pram or pushchair will simplify life for families, particularly on busy footpaths or in shops and stores. Choose a model with ample storage space to store nappies, snacks and other essentials.

Some parents who are first-time parents opt for a pushchair that is future-proof and can be used both as a single stroller at the time baby is born, and later transformed into a twin-mode after the baby arrives. Joolz has a variety of options.

Tandem

The announcement that you're expecting a baby is one of the most exciting times in your life. However, once the excitement fades and reality begins to sink in, you could be faced with a multitude of decisions about how to prepare your family for the arrival of your baby one or ones. The proper stroller or pram is one of the most crucial considerations.

Tandem prams, also referred to as "in-line" double prams are a classic style with two seats or bassinets placed side by side. The front seat, which is typically cushioned, reclines flat and is suitable for infants. The second seat is more upright and designed to accommodate toddlers as young as three years old. Some models let you decide if your children will look at each other or face each other. Many tandems have the option of converting into a single pushchair in the event that you decide your oldest child does not require the second seat.

In terms of cost it is cheaper than a twin pushchair and can be an excellent choice for parents looking to save money without compromising on safety or function. A tandem can be a bit heavy and difficult to steer, especially when you're tripping over curbs. It's also less stable than best twin buggy prams, especially if an older child is riding in the front. A tandem isn't always easy to fit on public transportation, and it can be difficult to navigate narrow roads.

The iCandy Peach is a popular model that is a good choice for a singleton parent looking for a sleeker design however, the tandem mode can make it feel long and heavy when pushing. It features an innovative frame that expands widthways to allow for the addition of the second seat, and can be used with multiple combinations of carrycots, buggy seats and car seats (two at a time or in separate). The iCandy Wave is another lightweight tandem option that's simple 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 think about. There are numerous configuration options to choose from, whether you're purchasing for twins or close-in-age siblings. Tandem prams, referred to as side-by-side prams, are popular choices due to the fact that they can be set up in a way that the infant can sit in the bassinet on top while the toddler or older child is sitting in the second seat.

Some models have reversible seats that allow you to customize the configuration for your family during the infant and toddler years. This allows you to keep your kids always in your sight and gives them a chance to interact with each other as they stroll.

Tandem prams are often jogging or all-terrain buggies, which means they're ideal for outdoor excursions and the park. They're also a good choice 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). It is then possible to change to a single pram mode when your little one grows out of the rumble seat or select the adaptors for car capsules (PS53) to transform it into a traveler from infant to toddler.

The Side by Side Pram by Babybee is a different option. The side-by-side double pram is available in a range of colors and features an attractive modern style. Designed 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 that your little ones are safe and comfy.

The Egg 2 is a stylish elegant pushchair that can be converted into a double side-by-side. It's available in a variety of carrycots and infant seats to accommodate twins or siblings of different age groups. It's also easy to fold. It's also quite light and therefore an ideal option for those with small cars or limited storage space.

Convertible

Some of the top double prams or pushchairs are configured into different seats to meet your needs as they change. You can fit two toddlers in a seat or a third rider on the seat board and have space for a basket to store your shopping, and the option to add accessories like rain covers is another plus. Typically, convertible double strollers are bigger and heavier than single pushchairs as they must be capable of holding two or more children. The Graco Modes Nest2Grow convertible is an example of a very inexpensive convertible that is very easy to use. However, our testers found it to be somewhat heavy for the money.

Some convertible double strollers, like the Baby Jogger City Select 2 comes with a carrycot which is suitable for newborns. This helps to reduce the size of the double stroller when it is not being used and makes it more compact. Our test participants were awestruck by the City Select's unique one-handed fold. However, it takes a bit of practice. It is also quite fluid and agile in spite of its size.

The Cybex Mockingbird single-to-double stroller is an alternative that is affordable. The seat converts from a rear-facing infant car seat to a forward-facing toddler seat, and the bassinet mode is a great choice for infants (although keep in mind that infants under 4 months old should not use strollers to sleep due to the risk of positional asphyxia).

If you want more flexibility Consider a convertible that has dual modes such as the iCandy Peach. It's a small double buggy which can accommodate 2 children side by side 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 quite as lightweight as some of the other models on our list, but it has a large basket that's great for parents who are carrying bags full of toys and food 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 an excellent choice. The iCandy Peach can be converted from a single pushchair into a double with the addition of a toddler's seat or the brand's carrycot (which works well for sleeping at night). The seats are very comfortable and our testers love that they can recline in various positions. They also appreciate the design of the canopy, which has a peekaboo window and UPF 50+ protection. The rear seat can be raised high so that the child who is older can stand on it to reach the basket of shopping.

Cher stated that the only downside of the iCandy Peach was its weight. But she felt this was offset by the fact that it is easy to maneuver and offers plenty of storage space and cup holders for parents and children, seat-back pockets, and a large basket under the seat. Cher also appreciated the fact that the seats are convertible, which means they can be set to face each other for siblings that want to talk and get together while out and about.

The Delta Children LX Side-by-Side Stroller is a lighter option and still impressive. It weighs just 18 pounds, is small and features self-standing fold, making it simple to transport or put in your trunk. Parents appreciate the high-quality materials and workmanship, as well as the low cost. The only drawback is that the seats don't recline as much as other models we've tested, 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 option. It's slim, sleek and easy to steer and comes with a lifetime guarantee. Although they are smaller, side-by-side prams can still be larger than tandems and inline doubles. This can make them difficult to maneuver on busy streets and in shops. However, they're generally smaller, and are easier to maneuver in tight spaces than tandems.
