Choosing a double pram and pushchair (womans-Days.ru)

A good double pram or pushchair can simplify the lives of families, especially on busy streets or in stores and shops. Choose a model that has plenty of storage space to store nappies snacks, nappies, and other essentials.

Some parents who are new to the family opt for an infant pushchair that can be used as a single stroller when baby is born, and later converted into a twin mode once he or she is born. Joolz has a variety of options.

Tandem

The news that you're expecting a baby is one of the most exciting events in life. However, once the excitement of the beginning fades and reality sinks in, you could be faced with a multitude of choices regarding how to prepare your family for the arrival of your new one or one. The right pram or stroller is one of the most important things to consider.

Tandem prams (also known as 'in-line' double prams) are a timeless design that feature two seats or pram bassinets arranged side by side. The front seat, which is typically cushioned, reclines and is suitable for babies. The second seat is a bit higher and is designed to accommodate toddlers as young as three years old. Certain models feature reversible seating so you can choose whether your children face one another or look at you. Many tandems have the option to convert into a single pushchair in the event that you decide your oldest child does not require the second seat.

In terms of price, a tandem is much cheaper than a twin pushchair and can be a great choice for parents who want to save money but not compromising on safety or functionality. However, a drawback of a tandem is that it could feel long and heavy to steer, especially when you're moving up and 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 can be difficult to navigate narrow pavements.

The iCandy Peach, a popular model that focuses on image, is a fantastic alternative for parents with one child who want a sleeker appearance. However the tandem mode makes it feel a bit heavy and long to push. It comes with an expanded frame that increases in width to accommodate the second seat. It can be used with a range of combinations of buggy seats, car seats, and carrycots (two at one time or in separate). The iCandy Wave is another lightweight twin stroller tandem option that's simple to use and compatible with a variety of carrycots and car seats.

Side by side

When it comes to choosing a double pram or pushchair, there's a lot to consider. If you're buying a double buggy with carrycot pram for twins or siblings 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 because they can be arranged to accommodate infants with a bassinet on the top, while the larger toddler or infant is in the seat below.

Some models even have seats that can be reversible, meaning you can alter the seating arrangement to your family's requirements throughout the toddler and baby years. This lets you be able to watch your children at all times and gives them the chance to connect with them as 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 a great option if you need to brave narrow aisles in the supermarket or at checkouts as they're generally smaller 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). If your child is no longer a member of the rumble chair you can change to one pram mode. You can also opt to make use of the car capsule adaptors to convert it from a newborn to a toddler travel system.

Another option is the Side by Side Pram from Babybee. This side-by-side double pram is available in a variety of colours and has an elegant modern design. It is designed to be used right from birth, you can add the LUNA newborn cocoon (PS262) or the LUNA infant seats (PS53 each) to ensure that your children are comfortable and safe.

If you're looking for a sleek, elegant pushchair that can be converted into a side-by-side double pram stroller and a side-by-side double, the Egg 2 from Chicco is an excellent choice. It's available in a variety of infant seat and carrycot configurations to accommodate twins or siblings of varying age groups. It's also easy to fold. It's also relatively lightweight making it an ideal choice for families with small cars or limited storage space.

Convertible

Some of the top double prams or pushchairs can be set up to meet your changing needs. It is possible to fit two toddlers in the seats or a third child on the seat board and have room for a shopping basket, and the ability to add accessories such as rain covers is also a advantage. Most convertible double tandem pushchair strollers are larger and heavier than single pushchairs as they have to be able to hold two or more children. The Graco Modes Nest2Grow is one example of a convertible that is affordable that is extremely user-friendly, but our testers thought it was a bit heavy for the price.

Some convertible double strollers, such as the Baby Jogger City Select 2 has a carrycot option that is suitable for infants. This reduces the size of the double stroller when it is not being used and makes it smaller. Our test subjects were awed by the City Select's clever one-handed fold, though it takes a bit of practice. It's also very agile and responsive, despite its size.

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

To be more flexible, opt for a dual-mode convertible like the iCandy Peach. It's a slim double stroller that is able to accommodate two children in a tandem. It can also be used to create a tandem by incorporating a second seat kit. It is agile and responsive, and our testers loved its sleek design. It's not as light as some of the other pushchairs on our list, but it offers an ample shopping basket that is great for parents who carry bags full of toys and food.

Lightweight

Some parents want to ensure the future of their double pushchair if they have a child and are expecting another and a convertible model is a good option. The iCandy Peach allows you to transform from a single to a double pushchairs pushchair with the addition of either an infant seat or the brand's optional carrycot (which is suitable for overnight sleeping). The seats are extremely comfortable and our testers love that they can recline in multiple positions. They also appreciate the feature that the canopy comes with a peekaboo window and UPF 50+ protection. The rear seat can be elevated to provide a a standing platform for the older child to get off and on, so that they can reach items in the shopping basket.

Cher stated that the only downside of the iCandy Peach was its weight. However, she felt that this was compensated for because it is easy to maneuver and comes with plenty of storage space and cup holders for parents and their children as well as seat-back pockets and a large basket under the seat. Cher also loved that seats can be flipped so that they be positioned to face each other, which is great for siblings who love to interact and talk while out and out and about.

A lighter-weight but just as impressive choice 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 materials and workmanship, as well as the low price. The only issue is that the seats don't recline as far as other models we've tried and the back seat isn't very well-lit because of its position as it's higher than the front seats.

The Joolz Geo 3 is another popular option. It is slim, sleek and easy to steer, and comes with an unbeatable lifetime warranty. Although they are smaller than side-by-side strollers, they can be more spacious than tandems and inline doubles. This makes them difficult to maneuver on busy streets and in shops. However, they're generally shorter, which means they can be easier to turn in tight spaces than tandems.
