Choosing a Double Pram and Pushchair

A double pram or pushchair can simplify life for families, particularly on busy streets or in shops and stores. Find a model that has generous storage space for stowing nappies, snacks and other essentials.

Some first-time parents choose a pushchair that is future-proof and can be used both as a single stroller at the time baby is born, and later converted to a twin mode after the baby arrives. Joolz offers a variety of these options.

Tandem

The announcement that you're expecting the birth of a child is one of the most compact double stroller exciting moments in life. However, after the excitement of the beginning fades and the reality sets into your life, you'll be faced with a variety of decisions regarding how to prepare your family for the arrival of your baby one or ones. One of the most important things to consider is choosing the correct pram or pushchair.

Tandem prams, also known as "in-line" double prams are a classic design that has two bassinets or seats placed side-by-side. The front seat, which is typically padded, reclines flat and is suitable for newborns. The second seat is more upright and is designed to accommodate toddlers as young as 3 years old. Certain models let you choose whether your children look at each other or face each other. A lot of tandems offer the option to convert into a single pushchair if you decide 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 wish to save money without having to sacrifice safety or functional. A tandem can be a bit heavy and difficult to steer, especially when bumping over the kerbs. It's 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 may be difficult to navigate narrow roads.

The iCandy Peach, a popular model with a focus on image, is an excellent option for a single parent who wants an elegant appearance. However the tandem mode makes it feel heavy and long to push. It comes with frames that can be expanded in size to accommodate a second seat. It can be used with a variety of combinations of buggy seats, car seats, and carrycots (two at a time or separately). The iCandy Wave tandem is another lightweight option that is easy to use and compatible with a range of carrycots or car seats.

Side by side

There are many aspects to take into consideration when selecting a double pushchair or pram. There are numerous configuration options to choose from, whether you're buying for twins or close-in-age siblings. Tandem prams (also called side by side prams) are a popular choice since they can be configured to fit infants in a bassinet at the top while the older toddler or infant is in the second seat below.

Some models have reversible seats that let you customize the configuration for your family throughout the baby and toddler years. This lets you see your children at all times, and allows them to interact as they walk.

Tandem prams are often jogging or all terrain double buggy-terrain buggies that is why they're great for outdoor excursions and the park. They're also a good choice when you have to traverse 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 switch to the single pram mode when your little one grows out of the rumble seat or select the car capsule adaptors (PS53) to transform it into a travel system from newborn to toddler.

Another option is the Side by Side Pram from Babybee. The double side-by-side pram is available in a range of colors and is designed with a contemporary style. Designed to be used right from birth, you can add the LUNA newborn Cocoon (PS262) and the LUNA Infant Seats (PS53 each).

The Egg 2 is a stylish, sleek pushchair that can be converted into a double side-by-side. It comes in a range of carrycots and infant seats to accommodate twins or siblings with different age groups. It's also incredibly easy to collapse. It's also fairly lightweight and therefore a good option for those with small cars or limited space for storage.

Convertible

The top double prams and pushchairs can be used in a variety of ways and some are able to change into different seating arrangements to meet your family's changing needs. It is possible to fit up to three children on the seat board, or two toddlers in the seats with room for shopping bags. Accessories such as rain covers are also available. Convertible double strollers tend to be larger and heavier than single pushchairs, as they need to hold two or more children. The Graco Modes Nest2Grow is one instance of a low-cost convertible that is user-friendly, but our testers felt that it was a bit heavy for the money.

Some convertible double strollers, such as the Baby Jogger City Select 2 has a carrycot option that is suitable for infants. This allows the double stroller to be folded down and reduced in size when it is not used. Our test participants were awestruck by the City Select's clever one-handed fold, although it does take some time to master. It's also very agile and responsive, despite its size.

Another option that is affordable is an option that is affordable is the Cybex Mockingbird Single-to-double stroller with infant car seat Stroller. The seat can be transformed from a parent facing infant car seat to an forward-facing toddler seat. The bassinet feature makes it a great option for infants.

For more flexibility, look for a convertible that has dual modes such as the iCandy Peach. This is a narrow double buggy that can fit two children side-by-side, but it can also be used as a tandem, with the addition of a second-seat kit and rider board. It feels agile and responsive, and our test users were impressed by 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 groceries and toys.

Lightweight

Convertible double strollers are a great option for parents who have one child and are expecting to have another. The iCandy Peach can be converted from a single pushchair to double stroller for tall kids by the addition of a toddler's seat or the brand's carrycot (which is great to sleep at night). Our testers noted the comfort of the seats and adore the fact that they both recline to multiple positions, feature built-in foot and leg supports and large UPF 50+ canopy that has peekaboo windows. The rear seat can be elevated to provide a an elevated platform for a child to get off and on to allow them to access items in the basket of groceries.

The only issue with the iCandy Peach is that it is quite heavy. However, Cher felt this was balanced by the ease to move around and how big the storage is, with two hanging parent and child cup holders as well as seat-back pockets, and an enormous underseat basket. Cher also appreciated that seats can be flipped to face each other. This is ideal for siblings who want to talk and interact when they are out and out and about.

The Delta Children LX Side-by-Side Stroller is a smaller model however, it is still awe-inspiring. It weighs just 18 pounds, is lightweight, and has self-standing fold, making it simple to transport or store in your trunk. Parents appreciate the quality of the materials and workmanship and the price is low. The only issue is that the seats don't recline as far as some other models we've tested, and the rear seat doesn't have great visibility due to its positioning that is higher than the front seat.

Another popular choice is the Joolz Geo 3, which is slim sleek, stylish and easy to steer, and comes with an appealing design and a lifetime guarantee. 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 streets and in shops. However, they are often smaller, and can be more maneuverable in tight spaces than tandems.
