Choosing a Double Pram and Pushchair

A double pram can simplify life for families, particularly in bustling shopping centers or on busy streets. Choose a model that has plenty of storage space to store nappies as well as snacks and other necessities.

Some first-time parents opt for a future proof pushchair that can be used as a single pram once bub is born and then changed into a twin mode once he or she is born. Joolz provides a variety of these options.

Tandem

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

Tandem prams, also known as "in-line" double prams, are a classic design with two bassinets or chairs placed side by side. The front seat, which is usually padded, reclines flat and is suitable for newborns. The second seat is a bit higher and designed to accommodate toddlers as young as 3 years. Certain models feature reversible seating so you can choose to have your children face each other or look out at you. Many tandems also have the option of being converted into a single pushchair if you decide that your child's oldest doesn't require the second seat.

A tandem is cheaper than a twin pram and can be an ideal choice for parents who wish to save money, but without compromising safety or functionality. A tandem can be a bit heavy and difficult to steer, especially when you're tripping over the kerbs. It is also less stable than twin stroller with car seats pushchairs especially when a bigger child is in the front. A tandem can be difficult to fit onto public transport and is difficult to navigate on narrow pavements.

The iCandy Peach is a popular model that is a good choice for a singleton parent looking for a sleeker design however the tandem mode can make it feel heavy and long when pushing. It has frames that can be expanded in width to accommodate the second seat. It can be used with a variety of combinations of buggy seats, car seats and carrycots (two at one time or in separate). The iCandy Wave is another lightweight tandem option that's simple to use and compatible with a variety of car seats and carrycots.

Side by side

When it comes to selecting a double pram or pushchair there's a lot to think about. Whether you're buying for twins or siblings close in age there are a variety of configuration options to consider. Tandem prams (also called side by sides prams) are a popular choice because they can be configured to accommodate infants with a bassinet at the top, while the older infant or toddler sits in the second seat below.

Some models even feature 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 keep your little ones always in your sight and also gives them a an opportunity to interact with one another as they walk.

Tandem prams are usually jogging buggies or all-terrain ones which makes them ideal for outdoor adventures and the park. They're also ideal for narrow aisles and checkouts in supermarkets and shops because they are less bulky.

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

The Side by Side Pram made by Babybee is a different alternative. This side-by-side double pram is available in a range of colours and has an attractive modern style. 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).

The Egg 2 is a stylish sleek pushchair that can be transformed into a double side-byside. It's available in a variety of infant seats and carrycots to accommodate twins or siblings of different age ranges. It's also incredibly easy to fold. It's also fairly light making it an ideal option for those with small cars or limited storage space.

Convertible

The best double prams and pushchairs are able to be used in multiple ways, and some are even capable of changing seat configurations to suit your changing family needs. There is the possibility of fitting two toddlers in the seats or even a third one on the seat board, and still have enough space for a basket to store your shopping, and the ability to add accessories like rain covers is another plus. Typically, convertible double strollers are larger and heavier than single pushchairs due to the fact that they must be able to hold two or more children. The Graco Modes Nest2Grow convertible is an example of a very affordable convertible that is easy to use. However, our testers considered it to be a bit heavy for the money.

Some double strollers that can be converted into convertibles like the Baby Jogger City Select 2 include a carrycot suitable for babies. This helps to reduce the size of the double stroller when not in use, and makes it more compact. The City Select's innovative single-handed folding impressed our test subjects however it requires some practice. It's also very responsive and nimble even despite its size.

Another option that is reasonably priced is an affordable option 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 is a great option for infants.

If you want more flexibility, consider a dual-mode convertible such as the iCandy Peach. It's a small double buggy that can hold two children side-by-side however it can also be used as a tandem with the addition of a second-seat kit and rider board. It's fluid and agile, and our testers were impressed by its sleek design. It's not as lightweight as some of the other models on our list, but it comes with a big basket that is useful for parents carrying bags of toys and food items.

Lightweight

Convertible double strollers double are an excellent alternative for parents who have children and anticipate to have another. The iCandy Peach allows you to transform from a single to a double pushchair, with the addition of either an infant seat or the brand's optional carrycot (which is suitable for sleeping at night). The seats are extremely comfortable and our test subjects love that they can recline in a variety of positions. They also like the design of the canopy, which has an open window that can be seen from afar and has UPF 50+ protection. The rear seat can also be raised to provide a standing platform for the child to climb off and on so that they can reach items in the basket of groceries.

The only issue with the iCandy Peach is that it is quite heavy, but Cher believed that this was overcome by the ease to manoeuvre and how spacious the storage area is equipped with two hanging parent and child cup holders with seat-back pockets as well as an enormous underseat basket. Cher also appreciated that seats can be flipped so that they be positioned to face each other, which is ideal for siblings who love to interact and talk while 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 small and features a self standing fold, making it simple to transport or put in your trunk. Parents appreciate the high-quality materials and workmanship, and the low cost. The only issue is that the seats don't recline as far as other models we've examined and the rear seat isn't as well-lit due to its position - it's raised higher than the front seat.

The Joolz Geo 3 is another popular option. It is slim, sleek and easy to steer, and comes with an unbeatable lifetime warranty. It's important to keep in mind that despite their narrower design side by side prams are wider than tandem and in-line doubles and can be difficult to navigate on busy streets or in shops. They are also smaller, making them more maneuverable in tight spaces.
