Choosing a double buggy side by side Pram and Pushchair

A double pram or pushchair can simplify the lives of families, especially on busy footpaths or in the shops and stores. Find a model that has ample storage space for nappies, snacks, and other essentials.

Some parents who are first-time parents choose an infant pushchair that can be used as a single stroller when baby is born, and later transformed into a twin-mode once he or she has arrived. Joolz offers a range of choices.

Tandem

The news that you're about to have to have a baby is among the most exciting times in your life. When the excitement wears off and the reality of the situation kicks in, you will be faced with a variety of choices regarding how to prepare your family for. The right pram or stroller is one of the most important considerations.

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 is typically covered in padding and reclines to a flat position making it suitable for newborns and the second seat is more upright and can be used by toddlers from around three years old. Some models allow you to select whether your children stare at each other or outwards. Many tandems can be made into a single pushchair when your oldest child is no longer in need of the second seat.

A tandem is cheaper than twin prams and can be a great option for parents who want to save money, without compromising safety or functionality. However, the drawback of a tandem is that it can feel long and heavy to steer, especially when you're bumping up or down kerbs. It is usually less stable than a twin pram, particularly if the older child is sitting in the front. A tandem can be difficult to fit on public transport, and it may be difficult to navigate narrow pavements.

The iCandy Peach is a popular image-conscious model that's a great choice for a singleton parent who wants something streamlined however, the tandem mode can make it feel quite long and heavy when pushing. It has an innovative frame that can be expanded to allow the addition of the second seat, and it is compatible with many combinations of carrycots, buggy chairs and car seats (two at once or separately). The iCandy Wave is another lightweight tandem option that's simple to use and compatible with a range of car seats and carrycots.

Side by side

There are a lot of things to consider when choosing a double pushchair or pram. There are numerous configuration options to choose from, whether you're purchasing for twins or close-in-age siblings. Tandem prams, also known as side-by-side prams, are a popular options because they can be set up 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 toddler and baby years. This lets you see your children at all times, and allows them to interact while they walk.

Tandem prams are usually jogging or all-terrain buggies, which means they're ideal for outdoor excursions and the park. They're also ideal for narrow aisles and checkouts in shops and supermarkets because they are more compact.

The Redsbaby JIVE3 pram for instance, can be used in tandem mode from birth with the addition of an rumble seat. (PS249) Then, you can switch to the single pram mode once your baby grows out of the rumble seat or choose the adaptors for car capsules (PS53) to turn it into a travel system from infant to toddler.

The Side by Side Pram made by Babybee is a different option. This double pram side-by-side is available in a variety of colors and features an elegant modern design. Designed to be used right from birth, you can also include the LUNA newborn Cocoon (PS262) and the LUNA Infant Seats (PS53 each).

The Egg 2 is a stylish elegant pushchair that can be transformed into a double side-by-side. It's available in a range of carrycot and infant seat configurations to accommodate twins or siblings of various age groups. It's also easy to fold. It's also fairly light making it an ideal choice for families who have small cars or only a little storage space.

Convertible

Some of the best double infant stroller prams or pushchairs can be set up to meet your changing needs. You can accommodate up to three children on the seat board, or two toddlers in the seats with enough space for a shopping bag. Accessories like rain covers are also available. Most convertible double strollers are more spacious and heavier than single pushchairs as they are required to be able to accommodate two or more children. The Graco Modes Nest2Grow is one instance of a low-cost convertible which is very easy to use, although our test subjects felt it was a bit heavy for its price.

Some double pushchairs strollers that can be converted into convertibles like the Baby Jogger City Select 2 come with a carrycot suitable for newborns. This helps to reduce the size of the Double To Single Buggy stroller when not being used and makes it smaller. Our testers were impressed with the City Select's innovative one-handed fold, though it does take a bit of practice. It also feels quite nimble and agile, despite being larger than double strollers.

The Cybex Mockingbird single-to-double stroller is another option that is reasonably priced. The seat can be transformed from a parent facing infant car seat to a forward-facing toddler seat. The bassinet-style mode makes it a great option for infants.

For more flexibility, look for a convertible with dual modes like the iCandy Peach. This is a narrow double stroller that can accommodate two children in a tandem. It can also be used to create a tandem by adding a second seat kit. It feels fluid and responsive, and our test users liked its sleek design. It's not as light as the other pushchairs in our list, but it offers an enormous shopping basket that is ideal for parents with bags of toys and food.

Lightweight

Some parents like to future-proof their double buggy when they have a child and are expecting another so a convertible option is an excellent choice. The iCandy Peach allows you to convert from a single to a double pushchair, with the addition of a toddler seat or the brand's optional carrycot (which is suitable for overnight sleeping). The seats are very comfortable and our testers love that they can be reclined in multiple positions. They also love the design of the canopy, which has an open window that can be seen from afar and has UPF 50+ protection. The rear seat can be lifted high to offer an elevated platform for a child to get off and on to allow them to access items in the basket of groceries.

The only downside to the iCandy Peach is that it is quite heavy, but Cher found that it was offset by the ease to manoeuvre and how spacious the storage space is, with two hanging parent and child cup holders as well as seat-back pockets, and a large underseat basket. She also appreciated the fact that the seats are convertible, which means they can be placed to face one another for siblings that want to talk and interact while out and out and about.

The Delta Children LX Side-by-Side Stroller is a less heavy option, but still impressive. It weighs just 18 pounds, is lightweight double stroller, and has a self standing fold, making it simple to transport or put in your trunk. Parents love the quality of the materials and craftsmanship as well as the affordable price. The only downsides are that the seats don't recline as much compared to other models we've tried and the rear seat is not as prominent due to its location as it is higher than the front seat.

The Joolz Geo 3 is another popular choice. It's slim, sleek, and easy to steer, and comes with 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 streets and in shops. However, they're generally shorter, which means they are easier to maneuver in tight spaces than tandems.
