Choosing a Double Pram and Pushchair

A double pram or pushchair will simplify life for families, particularly on busy streets or in the shops and stores. Find a model that has ample storage space for nappies, snacks, and other essentials.

Some parents who are first-time parents opt for a future-proof pushchair which can be used both as a single stroller at the time baby is born, and then converted to a twin mode after he or she arrives. Joolz offers a range of these options.

Tandem

The announcement that you're expecting a baby is among the most exciting events in life. But, once the excitement of the beginning fades and the reality sets into your life, you'll be faced with a variety of choices regarding how to prepare your family for the arrival of your little one or ones. The right pram or stroller is among the most crucial considerations.

Tandem prams, also referred to as "in-line" double prams are a classic design that has two seats or bassinets placed side by side. The front seat is usually covered in padding and reclines to a flat position making it suitable for infants, while the second seat is more upright and is able to accommodate toddlers from around three years of age. Some models have reversible seating so you can choose whether your children face one another or look at you. Many tandems can be converted into one pushchair when your oldest child is no longer in need of the second seat.

In terms of price, a tandem is much cheaper than a twin pushchair, and can be an excellent choice for parents who want to save money but not compromising on safety or function. A tandem can be a bit heavy and difficult to steer, especially when negotiating kerbs. It's also less stable than twin prams especially when a bigger child is in the front. A tandem can also be difficult to fit onto public transport and is difficult to maneuver on narrow roads.

The iCandy Peach is a popular model that is a good choice for a singleton parent looking for a sleeker design, but the tandem mode can make it feel long and heavy when pushing. It's got a frame that expands 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 a time or separately). The iCandy Wave tandem is another lightweight option that is easy to use and compatible with a variety of carrycots or car seats.

There are a variety of configuration options to choose from, regardless of whether you're purchasing for twins or close-in-age siblings. Tandem prams, also referred to as side-by-side prams, are a popular choices due to the fact that they can be configured so that the infant is able to sit in the bassinet in the middle while the older child or toddler is seated in the second seat.

Some models even feature convertible seats, which means you can modify the seating to meet the needs of your family throughout the toddler and baby years. This lets you keep your children always in your sight and also gives them a an opportunity to interact with each other as they stroll.

The Redsbaby JIVE3 Pram, for instance, can be used as a tandem pram right from birth in dual mode, with the addition of the rumble seat (PS249). It is then possible to change to a single pram mode once your child grows out of the rumble seat or select the car capsule adaptors (PS53) to turn it into a travel system from newborn to toddler.

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

Convertible double strollers are generally larger and heavier than single pushchairs, as they need to hold two or more children. The Graco Modes Nest2Grow is one example of an affordable convertible that is easy to use, although our testers felt that it was a bit heavy for the price.

Some convertible double strollers double strollers, such as the Baby Jogger City Select 2 comes with a carrycot that is suitable for infants. This reduces the size of the double stroller when it is not being used and makes it more compact. The City Select's innovative, one-handed folding impressed our testers however it requires some time to master. It's also very nimble and responsive, despite being bigger than double strollers.

Another option that is affordable is the Cybex Mockingbird Single-to-Double Stroller. It converts from a parent-facing infant car seat to a forward-facing toddler car seat and the bassinet-style mode is a fantastic option for infants (although keep in mind that infants under 4 months old should never use strollers to sleep due to the danger of asphyxia from position).

If you're looking to expand your options, consider a dual-mode convertible like the iCandy Peach. It's a compact double stroller that can hold two children at the same time. It can be used to create a tandem by adding a second seat kit. It's responsive and agile, and our testers liked its sleek design. It's not as light as some of the other pushchairs we've reviewed, but it offers an ample shopping basket that is ideal for parents with bags full of toys and food.

lightweight twin buggy

Convertible double strollers are an excellent option for parents who already have one child and are expecting the arrival of a second. The iCandy Peach can be converted from a single pushchair into double with the addition of a toddler seat, or the brand's carrycot (which is ideal for overnight sleeping). The seats are extremely comfortable and our testers appreciate the fact that they can recline in a variety of positions. They also appreciate the fact that the canopy has an open window that can be seen from afar and has UPF 50+ protection. The rear seat can be raised to provide a standing platform for a child to get off and on so that they can reach items in the basket of groceries.

Cher stated that the only disadvantage of the iCandy Peach was its weight. But she felt that this was compensated for because it's easy to move and comes with plenty of storage space with two cup holders for parents and their children as well as seat-back pockets and a large basket under the seat. Cher also appreciated the feature that the seats are convertible, which means they can be placed to face each other for siblings that want to talk and interact while out and out and about.

The Delta Children LX Side-by-Side Stroller is a lighter option however, it is still awe-inspiring. It weighs just 18 pounds, is lightweight and features self-standing fold, making it easy to transport or put in your trunk. Parents appreciate the quality of the materials and workmanship as well as the price is low. The only negatives are that the seats do not recline as much compared to other models we've tested and the rear seat is not as visible because of its position as it is higher than the first seat.

Another popular choice is the Joolz Geo 3, which is slim, sleek and easy to steer, with an attractive design and a lifetime guarantee. Although they are smaller, side-by-side prams can still be larger than tandems and inline doubles. This can make them difficult to maneuver on busy footpaths and in shops. They are also smaller which makes them easier to maneuver in tight spaces.
