Choosing a double pram and pushchair [o39akk533b75wnga.Kr]

A well-designed double pram or pushchair can simplify life for families, particularly on busy streets or in shops and stores. Select a model that offers ample storage space to store nappies snacks, nappies, and other essentials.

Some first-time parents opt for a future proof pushchair that can be used as a single stroller when baby is born, and later transformed into a twin-mode once he or she is born. Joolz offers a variety of these options.

Tandem

The news that you're expecting a baby is one of the most exciting moments in life. But, once the excitement fades and reality sinks in, you may be faced with a variety of choices regarding how to prepare your family for the arrival of your new one or one. One of the most important things to consider is choosing the best pram or pushchair.

Tandem prams, also referred as "in-line" double prams, are a classic style 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 more upright and is designed to accommodate toddlers as young as three years. Some models let you decide if your children will look at each other or face each other. Many tandems can be made into one pushchair once your oldest child is no longer required to have the second seat.

A tandem is cheaper than a twin pram and can be an excellent choice for parents who wish to save money, but without losing safety or function. A tandem can be heavy and difficult to steer, particularly when bumping over the kerbs. It is also less stable than twin pushchairs, especially if an older child is seated in the front. A tandem can be difficult to fit on public transport, and it may be difficult to navigate narrow pavements.

The iCandy Peach, a popular model that is focused on image, is a great choice for parents with one child who want an elegant design. However the tandem mode makes it feel a bit heavy and long to push. It has frames that can be expanded in width to accommodate the second seat. It can be used with a variety of combinations of car seats, buggy seats, and carrycots (two at one time or in separate). The iCandy Wave is another lightweight tandem option that's easy to use and compatible with a variety of car seats and carrycots.

Side by side

There are a lot of things to consider when choosing 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, referred to as side-by-side prams are popular options because they can be set up so that the infant can be seated in the bassinet on top while the older child or toddler is seated in the second seat.

Some models come with convertible seats, which means you can adapt the configuration to meet the needs of your family throughout the toddler and baby years. This lets you be able to watch your children at all times and allows them to connect with them as they walk.

Tandem prams are jogging buggies as well as all-terrain buggies. They are ideal for outdoor excursions, such as to the park. They're also ideal for narrow aisles or checkouts in supermarkets and shops as they are less bulky.

The Redsbaby JIVE3 Pram, for example, 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 switch to the single mode once your baby grows out of the rumble seat, or use the car capsule adaptors (PS53) to transform it into a traveler from newborn to toddler.

Another option is the Side by Side Pram from Babybee. This double pram side-by-side is available in a range of colours and has an elegant modern design. Designed to be used right from the moment of birth, you can add the LUNA newborn Cocoon (PS262) and the LUNA Infant Seats (PS53 each).

The Egg 2 is a stylish sleek pushchair that is able to be converted into a double side-by-side. It comes in a range of infant seats and carrycots to accommodate twins or Double Pram and Pushchair siblings with different age groups. It's also easy to fold. It's also relatively lightweight and therefore an ideal option for those with small cars or limited storage space.

Convertible

Some of the best twin buggy double pushchairs or prams can be set up to meet your needs as they change. There is the possibility of fitting two toddlers in a seat or a third child on the seat board and have room for a basket to store your shopping, and the option to add accessories like rain covers is a benefit. Convertible double strollers are generally heavier and larger than single pushchairs due to the fact that they are designed to accommodate two or more children. The Graco Modes Nest2Grow convertible is an example of a very affordable convertible that is easy to use. However, our test participants thought it was quite heavy for the money.

Some double strollers that can be converted into convertibles like the Baby Jogger City Select 2 have a carrycot that is suitable for newborns. This allows the double stroller to be compacted and reduced in size when not used. The City Select's clever single-handed folding impressed our test participants however it requires some practice. It's also very nimble and responsive, despite being bigger than double strollers.

The Cybex Mockingbird single-to-double stroller is another affordable option. The seat can be transformed from a parent-facing infant car seat to an forward-facing toddler seat. The bassinet-style mode is a great choice for infants.

For more flexibility, look for a dual-mode convertible like the iCandy Peach. It's a compact double stroller that can hold two children in a tandem. It can be used to create a tandem by adding a second seating kit. It feels agile and responsive, and our test users liked its sleek design. It's not as light as some of the other pushchairs on our list however it does come with an ample shopping basket that is great for parents who carry bags full of groceries and toys.

Lightweight

Some parents like to future-proof their double buggy if they have one child and are expecting another so a convertible option is a good option. 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 sleep overs). Our testers were pleased with how comfortable the seats are and love the fact that can recline in a variety of positions, feature built-in leg and foot support and large UPF 50+ canopies with windows that peek out. The rear seat can be raised so that the older child can stand on it to reach the basket of shopping.

The only issue with the iCandy Peach is that it is quite heavy, however Cher found that this was offset by the ease to move around and how big the storage space is equipped with two hanging parent and child cup holders as well as seat-back pockets, and a large underseat basket. Cher also loved that the seats can be turned to face each other, which is perfect for siblings who like to talk and interact while out and out and about.

The Delta Children LX Side-by-Side Stroller is a less heavy option and still impressive. It weighs only 18 pounds, is compact and features self-standing fold, making it easy to transport or store in your trunk. Parents are impressed by the quality of materials and workmanship, as well as the price. The only drawbacks are that the seats do not recline as much compared to other models we've tested and the rear seat isn't as well-lit due to its position - it is raised higher than the front seat.

The Joolz Geo 3 is another popular choice. It is slim, sleek, 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 still more spacious than tandem and in-line doubles. They may be difficult to navigate through busy streets or in shops. They are also smaller which makes them easier to maneuver in tight spaces.
