Choosing a Double Pram and Pushchair

A double pram or pushchair can simplify life for families, particularly on busy streets or in the shops and stores. Pick a model with ample storage space to store nappies as well as snacks and other essentials.

Some parents who are new to the family opt for a future-proof pushchair that can be used as a single stroller when baby is born, and later changed into a twin mode after the baby has arrived. Joolz offers a variety of these options.

Tandem

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

Tandem prams (also called "in-line" double prams) are a timeless design that have two seats or pram bassinets arranged side-by-side. The front seat is usually covered in padding and reclines to a flat angle, making it suitable for infants while the second one is more upright and can accommodate toddlers up to three years old. older. Some models have the option of reversible seating, which lets you choose whether your children face towards each other or gaze at you. Many tandems can be converted to one pushchair when your oldest child is no longer using the second seat.

In terms of price it is cheaper than a twin pushchair and can be a great choice for parents looking to save money but not compromising on safety or functionality. A tandem can be a bit heavy and difficult to steer, especially when you're tripping over curbs. It is also less stable than twin stroller prams, especially if an older child is in the front. A tandem can also be difficult to fit onto public transport and can be difficult to maneuver on narrow roads.

The iCandy Peach, a popular model with a focus on image, is a great alternative for parents with one child who want a sleeker appearance. However, the tandem mode makes it feel long and heavy to push. It has frames that can be expanded in dimensions to accommodate the second seat. It can be used with a variety of buggy seats, car 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 carrycots and car seats.

Side by side

There are many things to consider when choosing a double pram or pushchair. If you're buying a double pram for twins or siblings who are close in age there are a variety of configuration choices to think about. Tandem prams, also referred to as side-by-side prams are popular choices because they can be set up in a way that the infant can be seated in the bassinet at the top while the toddler or older child is sitting in the second seat.

Some models have reversible seating which allow you to alter the configuration for your family members throughout the infant and toddler years. This allows you to see your children at all times, and allows them to be a part of the journey as they walk.

Tandem prams are jogging buggies as well as all-terrain buggies. They are great for trips outdoors, such as to the park. These are also good for narrow aisles and checkouts in supermarkets and shops, as they are smaller.

The Redsbaby JIVE3 Pram, for example, can be used as a tandem pram from birth in dual mode by adding the use of the rumble seat (PS249). You can then switch to the single mode once your baby gets used to the rumble seat or select the adaptors for car capsules (PS53) to turn it into a travel system from infant to toddler.

Another option is the Side by Side Pram from Babybee. This side-by-side double pram is available in a variety of colors and features an elegant 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).

The Egg 2 is a stylish sleek pushchair that can be transformed into a Double buggy For twins side-by-side. It's available in a range of infant seat and carrycot combinations to cater for twins or siblings of different age groups. It's also easy to fold. It's also quite light and therefore an ideal option for those with small double buggy cars or limited storage space.

Convertible

Some of the best twin stroller double pushchairs or prams can be made into various seats to meet your changing needs. It is possible to fit two toddlers in a seat or a third child on the seat board and still have room for a basket to store your shopping, and the ability to add accessories such as rain covers is also a benefit. Typically, convertible double strollers are larger and heavier than single pushchairs due to the fact that they must be able to accommodate two or more children. The Graco Modes Nest2Grow convertible is an example of an affordable convertible that is easy to use. However, our testers thought it was quite 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 allows the double stroller to be compacted and reduced in size when not used. Our test subjects were awed by the City Select's clever one-handed fold, though it takes a bit of practice. It's also quite agile and responsive, despite it being bigger than other double buggy that converts to single strollers.

Another option that is reasonably priced is an affordable option is the Cybex Mockingbird Single-to-double pushchair from birth Stroller. It converts from a car seat with a parent seat to a forward-facing toddler car seat and the bassinet-style mode is a great option for infants (although remember that babies under four months old shouldn't sleep in strollers because of the risk of asphyxia in a position).

For greater flexibility, opt for a convertible with dual modes like the iCandy Peach. It's a slim double stroller that can hold two children side-by-side. It can also be used to create a tandem by adding a second seat kit. It feels fluid and agile, and our testers loved its sleek design. It's not quite as lightweight like some of the other models we've reviewed, however it does come with a huge basket that is useful for parents who are carrying bags of toys and food items.

Lightweight

Some parents prefer to secure their double pushchair if they have a child and are expecting another so a convertible option is a good option. The iCandy Peach allows you to change from a single pushchair to a double pushchair with the addition of either a toddler seat or the brand's carrycot (which is suitable for overnight sleeping). The seats are very comfortable and our test subjects love that they can be reclined in various positions. They also love the feature that the canopy comes with an open window that can be seen from afar and has UPF 50+ protection. The rear seat can be raised high to allow the child of a higher age can stand on it to reach the shopping basket.

Cher said that the one disadvantage of the iCandy Peach was its weight. However, she believed this was offset by the fact that it's easy to move and has plenty of storage, including two cup holders for parents and children, seat-back pockets, and an enormous basket underneath the seat. Cher also loved that the seats can be turned so that they can face each other. This is perfect for siblings who want to interact and talk when out and about.

The Delta Children LX Side-by-Side Stroller is a less heavy option, but still impressive. It weighs just 18 pounds, is compact, and has a self standing fold, making it easy to carry around or put in your trunk. Parents love the quality of the materials and workmanship and the price is low. The only drawbacks are that the seats don't recline as much as other models we've tested and the rear seat isn't as visible due to its position and height. It is higher than the first seat.

Another popular choice is the Joolz Geo 3, which is slim and sleek. It is also easy to steer, with an attractive design and lifetime guarantee. Although they are narrower side-by-side prams may be more spacious than tandems and inline doubles. This can make them difficult to maneuver on busy streets and in shops. They're also shorter, making them easier to maneuver in tight spaces.
