Choosing a Double Pram and Pushchair

A double pram can simplify the lives of families, particularly in busy shops or on busy streets. Choose a model with ample storage space for nappies, snacks, and other essentials.

Some parents who are first-time parents choose a future proof pushchair that can be used as a single pram once baby is born, and later transformed into a twin-mode when the baby has arrived. Joolz offers a range of these options.

Tandem

The announcement that you're expecting a baby is one of the most exciting events in life. However, after the excitement of the beginning fades and reality sinks in, you may be faced with a myriad of decisions regarding how to prepare your family for the arrival of your baby one or one. One of the most important things to consider is choosing the right pram or pushchair.

Tandem prams (also called 'in-line' double prams) are a classic style that have two bassinets or seats for prams arranged side-by-side. The front seat, which is usually cushioned, reclines and is suitable for newborns. The second seat is more upright and is designed to accommodate toddlers as young as three years. Some models have seats that can be reversible, so you can decide if your children face one another or look at you. A lot of tandems offer the option of converting into a single pushchair if you decide that your child's oldest no longer needs the second seat.

A tandem is cheaper than twin prams and can be an ideal choice for parents who wish to save money, but without compromising safety or functionality. However, one disadvantage of a tandem is that it could feel long and heavy to steer, particularly when moving up and down kerbs, and it is often less stable than a twin pushchair, particularly if the older child is sitting in the front. A tandem can be difficult to place on public transport, and it can 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 large and heavy when pushing. It features a clever frame that can be expanded to accommodate the second seat, and can be used with multiple combinations of buggy seats, carrycots and car seats (two at once or separately). The iCandy Wave tandem is another lightweight option that is easy to use and compatible with a range of car seats or carrycots.

Side by side

When it comes time to choose a double jogging stroller pram or pushchair there's a lot to consider. If you're buying a smallest double buggy pram for twins or siblings who are close in age there are a variety of configuration options to take into account. Tandem prams (also known as side by side prams) are a popular choice since they can be configured to fit infants in a bassinet on the top, while the older toddler or infant sits in the second seat below.

Some models have reversible seats that allow you to customize the configuration for your family during the infant and toddler years. This lets you keep your kids always in your sights and also gives them the an opportunity to interact with each other while they walk.

Tandem prams can be jogging buggies, or all-terrain buggies. They are ideal for trips outdoors, such as to 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 as a tandem pram starting from birth in the dual mode with the addition of the rumble seat (PS249). You can then change to a single pram mode once your baby grows out of the rumble seat, or use the adaptors for car capsules (PS53) to turn it into a travel system for infant to toddler.

The Side by Side Pram by Babybee is a different option. This double pram side-by-side is available in a variety of colours and has an elegant modern design. 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 your children are comfortable and safe.

The Egg 2 is a stylish, sleek pushchair that can be converted into a double side-byside. It's available in a variety of infant and carrycots to accommodate twins or siblings with different age ranges. It is also super-easy to collapse. It is also relatively light, making it a good option for people with small cars or limited space to store.

Convertible

Some of the top double prams or pushchairs can be configured into different seats to meet your changing needs. It is possible to fit up to three children on the seat board or two toddlers in the seats, with enough space to carry a shopping bag. Accessories like rain covers are also available. In general, convertible double strollers are larger and heavier than single pushchairs because they must be able to hold two or more children. The Graco Modes Nest2Grow convertible is an example of an inexpensive convertible that is very easy to use. However, our reviewers found it to be somewhat heavy for its price.

Some convertible double strollers, like the Baby Jogger City Select 2 has a carrycot option which is suitable for babies. This reduces the size of the double stroller when not in use, and makes it smaller. The City Select's innovative, one-handed folding impressed our test subjects but it does require some practice. It is also quite responsive and nimble even despite its size.

The Cybex Mockingbird single-to-double stroller is an alternative that is affordable. It converts from a parent-facing infant car seat to a forward-facing toddler car seat and the bassinet option is a great choice for infants (although remember that babies under 4 months old should never sleep in strollers because of the risk of positional asphyxia).

For greater flexibility, opt for a dual-mode convertible like the iCandy Peach. This is a narrow double stroller that can accommodate two children side-by-side. It can be used to create a tandem by incorporating a second seat kit. 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, however it does come with a huge basket that's great for parents carrying bags full of toys and other items.

Lightweight

Some parents prefer to secure their double buggy when they have a child and are expecting another and a convertible model is a good option. The iCandy Peach allows you to change from a single pushchair to a double jogging stroller pushchair by the addition of either a toddler seat or the brand's optional carrycot (which is suitable for overnight sleeping). The seats are very comfortable and our test subjects love that they can be reclined in a variety of positions. They also appreciate the design of the canopy, which has a peekaboo window and UPF 50+ protection. The rear seat can be lifted high to offer an elevated platform for a child to climb off and on, so that they can access items in the shopping basket.

The only downside to the iCandy Peach is that it is quite heavy. However, Cher believed that this was offset by how easy it is to move around and how big the storage is equipped with two hanging child and parent cup holders as well as seat-back pockets, and a large underseat basket. Cher also appreciated the seat's design, which is convertible, which means they can be set to face one another for siblings who want to talk and interact when out and about.

The Delta Children LX Side-by-Side Stroller is a less heavy option and still impressive. It weighs just 18 pounds, is lightweight and features a self standing fold, making it easy to transport or put in your trunk. Parents love the quality of the materials and workmanship as well as the affordable price. The only drawback is that the seats don't recline as much as other models we've tried and the rear seat isn't very well-lit due to its positioning that is higher than the front seat.

The Joolz Geo 3 is another popular option. It's slim, sleek and easy to steer and has an unbeatable lifetime warranty. Although they are smaller side-by-side prams may be larger than tandems and inline doubles. This can make them difficult to maneuver on busy streets and in shops. They are also smaller which makes them easier to maneuver in tight spaces.
