Cher said that the one disadvantage of the iCandy Peach was its weight. However, she felt this was offset because it is easy to move and comes with plenty of storage space, including two cup holders for parents and their children as well as seat-back pockets and a large basket underneath the seat.

A lighter-weight but just as impressive choice is the Delta Children LX side-by-side stroller that weighs only 18 lbs, is super compact and has a self-standing fold, making it easy to transport and put in your trunk or at home. Parents appreciate the high-quality materials and workmanship, as well as the affordable cost. The only downsides are that the seats don't recline as much compared to other models we've tested and the rear seat isn't as visible due to its position and height. It is higher than the seat in front.

The Joolz Geo 3 is another popular option. It's slim, sleek and easy to steer and comes with a lifetime guarantee. It's important to keep in mind that, despite their slimmer design Side by side prams remain larger than tandems and in-line doubles. They can be difficult to navigate on busy footpaths or in stores. However, they're generally shorter, which means they can be easier to turn in tight spaces than tandems.
