Choosing a Double Pram and Pushchair

A double pram can make life easier for families, particularly in bustling shopping centers or on busy streets. Choose a model that has ample storage space to store nappies, snacks, and other essentials.

Some first-time parents choose a future-proof pushchair that can be used as a single stroller at the time baby is born, and converted to a twin mode when the baby is born. Joolz offers a variety of these options.

Tandem

The announcement that you are expecting a child is among the most exciting events in life. When the excitement wears off and the reality of the situation kicks in, you will be faced with many choices regarding how to prepare your family. The proper stroller or pram is among the most crucial considerations.

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 upright and designed to fit toddlers as young as 3 years. Some models have seats that can be reversible, so you can choose to have your children face each other or look out at you. Many tandems can be made into a single pushchair when your oldest child is no longer using the second seat.

In terms of cost, a tandem is much cheaper than a twin pushchair and can be an excellent choice for parents looking to save money without compromising on safety or function. However, one disadvantage of a tandem is that it can feel long and heavy to steer especially when bumping up or down kerbs. Additionally, it is generally less stable than a twin pushchair, especially if the child with the most weight is seated at the front. A tandem can be difficult to place on public transport, and it can be difficult to maneuver narrow pavements.

The iCandy Peach, a popular model that is focused on image, is a great option for parents with one child who want an elegant style. However, the tandem mode makes it feel a bit heavy and long to push. It comes with an expanded frame that increases 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 tandem is another lightweight option that's user-friendly and compatible with a variety of car seats or carrycots.

Side by side

When it comes to choosing a double pram or pushchair there's plenty to think about. There are many configuration options available, whether you're purchasing for twins or close-in-age siblings. Tandem prams (also called side by side prams) are a popular choice because they can be arranged to fit infants in a bassinet on the top, while the older toddler or infant is in the second hand double buggy seat below.

Some models have reversible seating that let you customize the layout of your family during the baby and toddler years. This allows you to see your children at all terrain double stroller (try these out) times and gives them the chance to be a part of the journey when they walk.

Tandem prams are jogging buggies as well as all-terrain buggies. They are ideal for outdoor excursions, like to the park. They're also a good choice if you need to brave narrow supermarket isles or checkouts as they're generally more compact than single-seaters.

The Redsbaby JIVE3 pram, for instance, can be used in tandem mode from birth, with the addition of a Rumble seat. (PS249) When your child grows out of the rumble chair you can switch to the single pram mode. You can also choose to use the car capsule adaptors to transform it from a newborn to a toddler travel system.

Another option is the Side by Side Pram from Babybee. The side-by-side double pram is available in a variety of colors and features an elegant modern design. The design is intended to be used right from birth, you can also add the LUNA newborn cocoon (PS262) or the LUNA infant seats (PS53 each) to ensure your little ones are comfortable and safe.

You can accommodate up to three children on the seat board or two toddlers in the seats, with enough space for shopping bags. Accessories such as rain covers are also available. Convertible double pushchairs strollers tend to be larger and heavier than single pushchairs because they need to hold two or more children. The Graco Modes Nest2Grow is one example of a convertible that is affordable which is very user-friendly, however our testers felt that it was a little 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 being used. Our testers were impressed with the City Select's clever one-handed fold, though it requires a bit of practice. It also feels quite nimble and agile, despite being larger than double strollers.

Another option that is reasonably priced is an affordable option is the Cybex Mockingbird Single-to-Double Stroller. The seat can be converted from a parent facing infant car seat to a forward-facing toddler seat. The bassinet-style mode is a great choice for infants.

For more flexibility, look for a convertible with dual modes such as the iCandy Peach. It's a compact double buggy which can accommodate two 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 is agile and responsive, and our test users liked its sleek design. It's not quite as lightweight as the other models on our list, however it does come with a huge basket that's great for parents carrying bags of toys and food items.

Convertible double strollers are an excellent option for parents who already have one child and are expecting another. The iCandy Peach can be converted from a single pushchair to double by the addition of a toddler seat, or the brand's carrycot (which is ideal for sleeping at night). The seats are very comfortable and our test subjects love that they can recline in various positions. They also love the design of the canopy, which has a peekaboo window and UPF 50+ protection. The rear seat can be raised so that the child who is older can stand on it to reach the basket of shopping.

Cher said that the one negative aspect of the iCandy Peach was its weight. However, she felt this was offset by the fact that it is easy to maneuver and offers plenty of storage space and cup holders for parents and their children seats-back pockets, as well as a large basket underneath the seat. Cher also appreciated that the seats can be turned to face each other, which is ideal for siblings who love to interact and talk when they are out and out and about.

It weighs only 18 pounds, is small double stroller and features a self standing fold, making it simple to carry around or put in your trunk. Parents appreciate the high-quality materials and workmanship, and the affordable cost. The only negatives are that the seats do not recline as much compared to other models we have tested and the rear seat isn't as visible due to its location as it is higher than the seat in front.

The Joolz Geo 3 is another popular option. It is slim, sleek and easy to steer and comes with a lifetime guarantee. It is important to remember that, despite their smaller size Side by side prams remain more spacious than tandem and in-line doubles. They may be difficult to navigate through crowded footpaths or in shops. They are also smaller which makes them more maneuverable in tight spaces.
