Choosing a Double Pram and Pushchair

A double pram can simplify life for families, especially in busy shopping centers or on busy streets. Pick a model with plenty of storage space to store nappies, snacks, and other essentials.

Some parents who are new to the world choose a pushchair that is future-proof and can be used both as a single stroller at the time baby is born, and then changed to a twin mode when the baby is born. Joolz has a variety of choices.

Tandem

The news that you're expecting a baby is one of the most exciting times in life. But, once the initial excitement wears off and the reality sets in, you may be faced with a myriad of decisions regarding how to prepare your family for the arrival of your little one or one. One of the most important aspects to consider is choosing the right pram or pushchair.

Tandem prams (also known as 'in-line' double prams) are a classic design with two bassinets or seats for prams arranged side by side. The front seat, which is typically padded, reclines flat and is suitable for newborns. The second seat is more upright and designed to accommodate toddlers as young as 3 years old. Some models let you select whether your children stare at each other or outwards. Many tandems also have the option to convert into a single pushchair if you decide your oldest child doesn't require the second seat.

A tandem double Buggy is more affordable than twin prams and is a great option for parents looking to save money without compromising safety or functionality. A tandem can be a bit heavy and difficult to steer, particularly when negotiating kerbs. It is also less stable than twin pushchairs particularly if a larger child is seated in the front. A tandem can also be difficult to get onto public transport, and it can be difficult to maneuver on narrow roads.

The iCandy Peach, a popular model with a focus on image, is a fantastic alternative for parents who are single and want a sleeker appearance. However the tandem mode can make it feel long and heavy to push. It comes with an innovative frame that can be expanded to allow the addition of the second seat, and is compatible with many combinations of carrycots, buggy seats and car seats (two at a time or in separate). The iCandy Wave tandem is another lightweight option that is easy to use and compatible with a variety of car seats and carrycots.

Side by side

There are many things to take into consideration when selecting a double pram or pushchair. There are a variety of configuration options to choose from, regardless of whether you're buying for twins or close-in-age siblings. Tandem prams, also known as side-by-side prams, are popular options because they can be set up so that the infant is able to sit in the bassinet in the middle while the toddler or older child is sitting in the second chair.

Some models have reversible seating which allow you to alter the configuration for your family during the baby and toddler years. This allows you to keep your kids always in your sight and gives them a chance to interact with each other while they walk.

Tandem prams can be jogging buggies, or all-terrain buggies. They are great for trips outdoors, such as to the park. They're also ideal for narrow aisles and checkouts in shops and supermarkets as they are more compact.

The Redsbaby JIVE3 pram for example can be used in tandem mode right from birth, but with the addition of an Rumble seat. (PS249) You can then switch to the single mode once your baby is old enough to leave the rumble seat or select the car capsule adaptors (PS53) to turn it into a travel system from infant to toddler.

Another option is the Side by Side Pram from Babybee. This cheap double pushchair side-by-side pram comes in a variety of colours and is designed in a contemporary style. It is designed to be used 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 baby is safe and comfy.

The Egg 2 is a stylish elegant pushchair that is able to be converted into a double side-byside. It's available in a variety of infant and carrycots to accommodate twins or siblings with different ages. It's also easy to fold. It's also fairly light and therefore an ideal choice for families with smaller cars or a limited storage space.

Convertible

Some of the top smallest double buggy prams or pushchairs can be set up to accommodate your changing needs. There is the possibility of fitting two toddlers in seats or a third child on the seat board and still have enough space for a basket to store your shopping, and the capability to add accessories such as rain covers is a benefit. Typically, convertible double strollers are larger and heavier than single pushchairs because they are required to be capable of holding two or more children. The Graco Modes Nest2Grow convertible is an example of a very affordable convertible that is simple to use. However, our testers found it to be a bit heavy for its price.

Some double strollers that can be converted into convertibles like the Baby Jogger City Select 2 have a carrycot that is suitable for infants. This allows the double stroller to be compacted and reduce in size when not being used. Our testers were impressed with the City Select's unique one-handed fold. However, it requires some practice. It's also very fluid and agile in spite of its size.

Another option that is affordable is an option that is affordable is the Cybex Mockingbird Single-to-double buggy travel system Stroller. The seat can be converted from a parent facing infant car seat to a forward-facing toddler seat. The bassinet-style mode makes it a great option for infants.

To be more flexible, opt for a convertible that has dual modes like the iCandy Peach. It's a compact double buggy that can hold 2 children side by side, but it can also be used as a tandem by the addition of a second-seat kit and rider board. It's fluid and responsive, and our test users liked its sleek design. It's not as light as some of the other pushchairs in our list 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 alternative for parents who have one child and are expecting to have another. 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 to sleep at night). The seats are very comfortable and our test subjects love that they can be reclined 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 child who is older can stand on it to reach the shopping basket.

Cher said that the one negative aspect of the iCandy Peach was its weight. But she felt this was offset because it's easy to move and offers 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 can face each other, which is perfect for siblings who like to talk and interact while out and about.

A lighter-weight but just as impressive option is the Delta Children LX side-by-side stroller, which weighs only 18 lbs, is super compact and has a self-standing fold that makes it easy to carry and store in your trunk or at home. Parents love the quality of the materials and craftsmanship as well as the low price point. The only drawback is that the seats don't recline as much as the other models we've tried, and the rear seat isn't as well-lit due to its positioning as it's higher than the front seat.

Another popular option is the Joolz Geo 3, which is slim and sleek. It is also easy to steer, and comes with an attractive design and lifetime guarantee. Although they are smaller, side-by-side prams can still be wider than tandems and inline doubles. This can make them difficult to maneuver around busy footpaths and in shops. However, they are often shorter too, so can be more maneuverable in tight spaces than tandems.
