Choosing a Double Pram and Pushchair

A double pram or pushchair will simplify life for families, particularly on busy footpaths or in shops and stores. Choose a model that has ample storage space for nappies as well as snacks and other necessities.

Some parents who are new to the family opt for an infant pushchair that can be used as a single pram once bub is born and then changed into a twin mode after the baby is old enough. Joolz offers a variety of these options.

Tandem

The announcement that you're expecting a baby is one of life's most exciting moments. When the excitement wears off and the reality of the situation sets in, you'll be faced with many choices regarding how to prepare your family for. One of the most important aspects to consider is choosing the best lightweight double stroller pram or pushchair.

Tandem prams, also known as "in-line" double prams, are a classic design with two bassinets or seats placed side by side. The front seat, which is typically padded, reclines flat and is suitable for babies. The second seat is upright and designed to fit toddlers as young as 3 years. Some models have seats that can be reversible, so you can choose whether your children face towards each other or gaze at you. Many tandems also have the option to convert into a single pushchair in the event that you decide that your oldest child does not require the second seat.

In terms of price the tandem is cheaper than a twin pushchair, and can be a great choice for parents who want to save money, but not compromise on safety or functionality. A tandem can be a bit heavy and difficult to steer, particularly when bumping over kerbs. It's also less stable than twin buggy from birth prams especially when a bigger child is in the front. A tandem can be difficult to place on public transport, and it can be difficult to maneuver narrow pavements.

The iCandy Peach is a popular model that is a good option for a single parent who is looking for something that is sleek, but the tandem mode can make it feel heavy and long when pushing. It comes with an expanded frame that increases in width to accommodate the second seat. It can be used with a variety of buggy seats, car seats and carrycots (two at simultaneously or separately). The iCandy Wave is another lightweight tandem option that's easy to use and compatible with a variety of carrycots and car seats.

Side by side

There are many aspects to consider when choosing a double pram or pushchair. If you're buying for twins or siblings close in age, there are a number of configuration options to take into account. Tandem prams (also known as side by side prams) are popular choices as they can be set up to accommodate infants with a bassinet on top, while the older toddler or infant is in the seat below.

Certain models come with reversible seats that allow you to customize the seating arrangement for your family members throughout the toddler and baby years. This lets you keep your little ones always in your sights and also gives them a chance to interact with one another as they walk.

Tandem prams are often jogging buggies or all-terrain ones which makes them ideal for outdoor adventures and the park. They are also great for narrow aisles or checkouts in shops and supermarkets, as they are smaller.

The Redsbaby JIVE3 pram for example can be used in tandem mode from birth, but with the addition of the Rumble seat. (PS249) When your child grows out of the rumble chair you can change to the single pram mode. You may also opt to use the adaptors for car capsules to convert it from a newborn to a toddler travel system.

Another option is the Side by Side Pram from Babybee. This double side-byside pram comes in a variety of colours and is designed with a modern style. Designed to be used from birth, you can also add the LUNA newborn cocoon (PS262) or the LUNA infant seats (PS53 each) to ensure that your children are safe and comfy.

If you're seeking a sleek, stylish pushchair that converts into a side-byside double and a side-by-side double, the Egg 2 from Chicco is an excellent choice. It comes in a range of infant and carrycots to accommodate twins or siblings of different age groups. It's also easy to fold. It's also fairly light making it an ideal choice for families with small cars or limited storage space.

Convertible

The best double pushchairs or prams can be made into various seats to meet your changing needs. There is the possibility of fitting two toddlers in a seat or a third child on the seat board, and still have space for a shopping basket and the capability to add accessories such as rain covers is also a benefit. Convertible double strollers tend to be larger and heavier than single pushchairs 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 test subjects felt it was a little heavy for the price.

Some double strollers that convert into convertibles, such as the Baby Jogger City Select 2 come with a carrycot suitable for babies. This reduces the size of the double stroller when it is not in use, and makes it smaller. The City Select's clever single-handed folding impressed our testers, but it takes some practice. It's also extremely agile and responsive in spite of its size.

Another option that is reasonably priced is an affordable option is the Cybex Mockingbird Single-to-Double Stroller. It converts from a parent-facing infant car seat to a forward-facing toddler seat and the bassinet-style mode is a fantastic option for infants (although remember that babies under 4 months old should not sleep in strollers because of the danger of asphyxia from position).

If you're looking for more flexibility Consider a convertible that has dual modes such as the iCandy Peach. It's a compact Luxury Double Stroller buggy that can hold 2 children side by side and can be used as a tandem, with the addition of a second seat kit and rider board. It is responsive and nimble and our test participants loved its sleek design. It's not as lightweight as the other models on our list, but it comes with a big basket that's ideal for parents carrying bags filled with toys and other items.

Lightweight

Some parents prefer to secure their double buggy when they have one child and are expecting another, so a convertible option is a good option. The iCandy Peach can be converted from a single pushchair into double with the addition of a toddler seat, or the brand's carrycot (which is ideal to sleep at night). Our testers were pleased with the comfort of the seats and loved the fact that they can recline in a variety of positions, feature built-in leg and foot supports and have UPF 50+ canopy that has peekaboo windows. The rear seat can be raised to provide an elevated platform for the child to climb off and on, to allow them to reach items in the basket of groceries.

Cher said that the one disadvantage of the iCandy Peach was its weight. However, she believed that this was compensated for because it's easy to move and offers plenty of storage space, including two cup holders for parents and children seats-back pockets, as well as a large basket underneath the seat. Cher also liked that the seats can be reversed so that they can face each other. This is perfect for siblings who want to chat and have conversations when out and about.

The Delta Children LX Side-by-Side Stroller is a less heavy option however, it is still awe-inspiring. It weighs only 18 pounds, is compact and features a self standing fold, making it easy to transport or store in your trunk. Parents appreciate the high-quality materials and workmanship, and the low cost. The only downsides are that the seats don't recline as much compared to other models we've tried and the rear seat isn't as prominent due to its position - it is raised higher than the seat in front.

The Joolz Geo 3 is another popular choice. It is slim, sleek, easy to steer and has a lifetime warranty. It's worth bearing in mind that, despite their slimmer design side by side prams are more spacious than tandem and in-line doubles. They can be difficult to navigate through busy streets or in shops. However, they are often shorter too, so can be more maneuverable in tight spaces than tandems.
