Choosing a double pram and pushchair (go to these guys)

A well-designed double pram or pushchair will simplify family life, especially when walking on busy roads or in shops and stores. Select a model that offers plenty of storage space to store nappies snacks, nappies, and other necessities.

Some first-time parents opt for a future proof pushchair that can be used as a single pram once baby is born. It can be converted into a twin stroller side by side mode when the baby has arrived. Joolz offers a variety of these options.

Tandem

The announcement that you're expecting a child is one of life's most exciting experiences. However, after the excitement of the beginning fades and reality sinks in, you could be faced with a variety of decisions regarding how to prepare your family for the arrival of your new one or one. One of the most important considerations is choosing the correct pram or pushchair.

Tandem prams, also referred to as "in-line" double prams, are a classic design that has two bassinets or seats placed side by side. The front seat, which is usually cushioned, reclines flat and is suitable for babies. The second seat is upright and is designed to accommodate toddlers as young as three years. Some models come with reversible seating so you can choose to have your children face towards each other or gaze at you. A lot of tandems offer the option of being converted into a single pushchair when you decide that your child's oldest doesn't require the second seat.

In terms of price, a tandem is much cheaper than a twin strollers for newborns pushchair, and is a great option for parents looking to save money, but not compromise on safety or functionality. However, a drawback of a tandem is that it may feel long and heavy to steer especially when bumping up or down kerbs, and it is often less stable than a twin pushchair, especially if the child with the most weight is seated at the front. A tandem isn't always easy to fit on public transport, and it can be difficult to navigate narrow pavements.

The iCandy Peach, a popular model that is focused on image, is a fantastic option for parents who are single and want an attractive design. However the tandem mode makes it feel long and heavy to push. It features a clever frame that expands widthways to allow the addition of the second seat, and can be used with a variety of combinations of carrycots, buggy seats and car seats (two at a time or separately). The iCandy Wave tandem is another lightweight option that's easy-to-use and compatible with a range of carrycots or car seats.

Side by side

There are many aspects to consider when choosing a double pram or pushchair. There are many configuration options to choose from, regardless of whether you're purchasing for twins or close-in-age siblings. Tandem prams (also known as side by side prams) are a popular choice since they can be set up to accommodate infants in a bassinet on the top, while the larger toddler or infant sits in the seat below.

Some models have reversible seats that allow you to customize the layout of your family during the toddler and baby years. This allows you to keep your kids always in your sights and also gives them the chance to get to know one another as they walk.

Tandem prams are jogging buggies as well as all terrain double buggy-terrain buggies. They are great for outdoor excursions, such as to the park. They're also a good option when you have to traverse narrow aisles in the supermarket or at checkouts, as they tend to be more compact than single-seaters.

The Redsbaby JIVE3 pram, for example can be used in tandem mode right from birth, with the addition of a rumble seat. (PS249) If your child gets bored of the rumble chair, you can switch to the single 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 alternative is the Side by Side Pram from Babybee. This double side-byside pram comes in a range of colors and is designed with a modern design. It is designed to be used from the moment of birth, you can add the LUNA Cocoon for newborns (PS262) and the LUNA Infant Seats (PS53 each).

It's available in a variety of infant seats and carrycots to accommodate twins or siblings of different ages. It's also easy to fold. It is also relatively lightweight, making it a good option for people with smaller vehicles or have limited space to store.

Convertible

The best double prams and pushchairs are able to be used in multiple ways, and some are even able to change into different seat configurations to suit your family's changing needs. There is the possibility of fitting two toddlers in a seat or a third child on the seat board and have room for a shopping basket, and the ability to add accessories like rain covers is another benefit. Convertible double strollers tend to be larger and heavier than single pushchairs, as they are designed to accommodate two or more children. The Graco Modes Nest2Grow convertible is an example of an affordable convertible that is simple to use. However, our test participants thought it was somewhat heavy for its price.

Some convertible double strollers double strollers, such as the Baby Jogger City Select 2 has a carrycot option which is suitable for newborns. This helps to reduce the size of the double stroller when not in use and makes it more compact. The City Select's clever single-handed folding impressed our test subjects but it does require some time to master. It's also very agile and responsive, despite its size.

The Cybex Mockingbird single-to-double stroller is an alternative that is affordable. It can be transformed from a child-facing car seat to an forward-facing toddler seat. The bassinet-style mode makes it a great option for infants.

To be more flexible, opt for a convertible with dual modes such as the iCandy Peach. It's a compact double buggy that can fit 2 children side by side however it can also be used as a tandem by the addition of a second seat kit and rider board. It's responsive and agile, and our testers liked its sleek design. It's not as light as the other pushchairs we've reviewed however, it comes with an enormous shopping basket that is great for parents who carry bags full of toys and groceries.

Lightweight

Convertible double strollers are an excellent option for parents who have children and anticipate the arrival of a second. The iCandy Peach can be converted from a single pushchair into double with the addition of a toddler's seat or the brand's carrycot (which works well for overnight sleeping). The seats are very comfortable and our testers appreciate the fact that they can recline in a variety of positions. They also like the design of the canopy, which has a window that peeks out and offers UPF 50+ protection. The rear seat can be raised high so that the older child can stand on it to reach the shopping basket.

Cher said that the only downside of the iCandy Peach was its weight. However, she felt that this was compensated for because it is easy to move and comes with plenty of storage space, including two cup holders for parents and their children seats-back pockets, as well as a large basket underneath the seat. She also liked the fact that the seats are reversible, so they can be positioned 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 smaller model however, it is still awe-inspiring. It weighs only 18 pounds, is small, and has a self standing fold, making it simple to transport or store in your trunk. Parents appreciate the quality of the materials and workmanship and the price is low. The only downside is that the seats don't recline as much as some other models we've examined and the back seat isn't as well-lit due to its positioning that is higher than the front seat.

Another popular option is the Joolz Geo 3, which is slim, sleek and easy to steer, and comes with an attractive design and lifetime guarantee. It's worth bearing in mind that despite their narrower design, side by side prams are still wider than tandem and in-line doubles. They may be difficult to navigate through busy streets or in shops. However, they're usually smaller, and can be easier to turn in tight spaces than tandems.
