Choosing a Double Pram and Pushchair

A double pram can simplify the lives of families, particularly in busy stores or on busy streets. Choose a model that has ample storage space for nappies, 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 pram once baby is born, and later changed into a twin mode once he or she is born. Joolz provides a variety of these options.

Tandem

The announcement that you're expecting a baby is one of the most exciting moments in life. However, once the initial excitement wears off and reality sinks into your life, you'll be faced with a multitude of choices regarding how to prepare your family for the arrival of your little one or one. One of the most important things to consider is choosing the right pram or pushchair.

Tandem prams (also called 'in-line' double prams) are a classic design with two seats or pram bassinets arranged side by side. The front seat is typically padded and reclines to a flat position making it suitable for infants while the second one is more upright and can be used by toddlers from around three years older. Certain models feature seats that can be reversible, so you can choose whether your children face each other or look out at you. Many tandems also have the option to convert into a single pushchair when you decide that your oldest child no longer needs the second seat.

In terms of price, a tandem is much cheaper than a twin pushchair, and is a great option for parents looking to save money without compromising on safety or functionality. A tandem can be a bit heavy and difficult to steer, especially when you're tripping over curbs. It's also less stable than twin prams, especially if an older child is in the front. A tandem can be difficult to place on public transportation, and it can be difficult to maneuver narrow pavements.

The iCandy Peach is a popular model that is a good option for a single parent who is looking for something that is sleek, but the tandem mode can make it feel quite heavy and long when pushing. It has a frame that expands in width to accommodate the second seat. It can be used with a variety of buggy seats, car seats and carrycots (two at a time or separately). The iCandy Wave tandem is another lightweight option that's user-friendly and compatible with a variety of car seats and carrycots.

Side by side

When it comes to selecting a double pram or pushchair there's plenty to think about. If you're buying a double pram for twins or siblings who are close in age, there are a number of configuration options to consider. Tandem prams (also called side by sides prams) are a popular choice since they can be set up to accommodate infants in a bassinet at the top, while the older toddler or infant is in the seat below.

Certain models come with reversible seats that let you customize the configuration for your family members throughout the infant and toddler years. This lets you see your children at all times and gives them the chance to connect with them when they walk.

Tandem prams can be jogging buggies, or all-terrain buggies. They are great for outdoor excursions, such as to the park. They're also a great option if you need to brave narrow checkout aisles or isles in supermarkets, as they are generally more compact than single-seaters.

The Redsbaby JIVE3 pram, for instance, can be used in tandem mode right from birth, but with the addition of an rumble seat. (PS249) If your child gets bored of the rumble chair, you can change to the single to double buggy pram mode. You can also opt to make use of the car capsule adaptors to convert it from a newborn into a toddler travel system.

The Side by Side Pram by Babybee is a different option. The double side-by-side pram is available in a variety of colors and is designed in a contemporary style. It is designed to be used right from the moment of birth, you can choose to add the LUNA newborn cocoon (PS262) or the LUNA infant seats (PS53 each) to ensure that your little ones are secure and comfortable.

The Egg 2 is a stylish, sleek pushchair that is able to be converted into a double side-byside. It is available in a variety of infant and carrycots to accommodate twins or siblings of different age ranges. It's also easy to fold. It's also light and compact, making it a great option for those with smaller vehicles or have limited space to store.

Convertible

The best double pushchairs or prams can be configured into different seats to accommodate your changing needs. It is possible to fit up to three children on the seat board, or two toddlers in the seats, with enough space for shopping bags. Accessories like rain covers are also available. In general, convertible double strollers are larger and heavier than single pushchairs because they have to be able to hold two or more children. The Graco Modes Nest2Grow is one example of an affordable convertible which is very easy to use, although our testers thought it was a bit heavy for the price.

Some convertible double strollers like the Baby Jogger City Select 2 has a carrycot option that is suitable for infants. This helps to reduce the size of the double stroller when not in use, and makes it more compact. The City Select's clever, one-handed folding impressed our testers, but it takes some practice. It is also quite agile and responsive in spite of its size.

The Cybex Mockingbird single-to-double stroller is an alternative that is affordable. It can be converted from a rear-facing infant car seat to a forward-facing toddler seat and the bassinet option is a great choice for infants (although keep in mind that infants under 4 months old should not be able to sleep in strollers due to the danger of asphyxia from position).

If you want more flexibility Consider a convertible that has dual modes like the iCandy Peach. It's a compact double buggy that can fit 2 children side by side, but it can also be used as a tandem with the addition of a second-seat kit and rider board. It feels nimble and agile, and our testers liked its sleek design. It's not quite as lightweight like some of the other models we've reviewed, but it has a large basket that is useful for parents who have to carry bags of toys and food items.

Some parents like to future-proof their double buggy if they have one child and are expecting another so a convertible option is a great option. The iCandy Peach allows you to convert 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 adore the fact that they both recline to multiple positions, come with built-in foot and leg supports and have UPF 50+ canopies with peekaboo windows. The rear seat can be raised so that the child who is older can stand on it to reach the basket of shopping.

Cher stated that the only downside of the iCandy Peach was its weight. But she felt this was offset by the fact that it's easy to move and has plenty of storage with two cup holders for parents and children, seat-back pockets, and a large basket underneath the seat. Cher also liked that the seats can be reversed so that they be positioned to face each other, which is perfect for siblings who want to chat and have conversations while out and about.

The Delta Children LX Side-by-Side Stroller is a lighter option and still impressive. It weighs just 18 pounds, is compact and features self-standing fold, making it simple to transport or put in your trunk. Parents are impressed by the quality of the materials and craftsmanship as well as the low price point. The only drawbacks are that the seats don't recline as well as other models we have tested and the rear seat isn't as well-lit due to its location - it is raised 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 lifetime guarantee. It's worth bearing in mind that, despite their slimmer design, side by side prams are more spacious than tandem and in-line doubles and can be difficult to navigate on crowded footpaths or in shops. They are also smaller, making them more maneuverable in tight spaces.
