Choosing a Double Pram and Pushchair

A double pram can make life easier for families, especially in busy stores or on busy streets. Find a model that has ample storage space to store 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 when baby is born, and then changed to a twin mode after the baby arrives. Joolz offers a range of choices.

Tandem

The announcement that you're expecting a baby is one of the most exciting events in life. After the excitement wears off and the reality of the situation begins to set in, you will be faced with a variety of choices regarding how you can prepare your family. One of the most important aspects to consider is choosing the right pram or pushchair.

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 infants. The second seat is upright and is designed to accommodate toddlers as young as three years old. Some models allow you to choose whether your children look at each other or face each other. Many tandems have the option to convert into a single pushchair if you decide that your child's oldest does not require the second seat.

In terms of cost it is cheaper than a twin pushchair and can be a great choice for parents who want to save money, but not compromise on safety or function. However, the drawback of a tandem is that it can feel long and heavy to steer, particularly when bumping up or down kerbs. It is generally less stable than a twin umbrella stroller (hop over to these guys) pram especially if the child who is older is sitting in the front. A tandem can also be tricky to fit onto public transport and can be difficult to navigate on narrow roads.

The iCandy Peach is a popular model with a strong image that's a great choice for a single parent who wants something streamlined however the tandem mode can make it feel quite heavy and long when pushing. It comes with an innovative frame that can be expanded to allow the addition of the second seat, and it can be used with a variety of combinations of carrycots, buggy seats and car seats (two at a time or in separate). The iCandy Wave tandem is another lightweight option that is easy to use and compatible with a variety of car seats or carrycots.

Side by side

When it comes to choosing a double pushchair or pram there's a lot to think about. There are numerous configuration options available, whether you're buying for twins or close-in-age siblings. Tandem prams (also known as side by side prams) are a popular choice because they can be configured to fit infants in a bassinet at the top, while the larger infant or toddler sits in the seat below.

Some models even feature seats that can be reversible, meaning you can modify the seating to suit your family's needs throughout the toddler and baby years. This lets you be able to watch your children at all terrain double buggy times, and allows them to connect with them when they walk.

Tandem prams are typically jogging buggies or all-terrain ones, which means they're ideal for outdoor adventures and the park. These are also good for narrow aisles or checkouts in shops and supermarkets because they are smaller.

The Redsbaby JIVE3 Pram, for instance, can be used as a tandem pram starting from birth in dual mode by adding the use 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 choose 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 double side-byside pram comes in a variety of colours and is designed with a modern style. Designed to be used right from the moment of birth, you can include the LUNA newborn Cocoon (PS262) and the LUNA Infant Seats (PS53 each).

The Egg 2 is a stylish, sleek pushchair that can be transformed into a double side-byside. It's available in a range of infant and carrycot configurations to accommodate twins or siblings of various age groups. It's also easy to fold. It is also relatively lightweight, making it a good option for people with smaller vehicles or have limited space for storage.

Convertible

The best lightweight double stroller double prams and pushchairs can be used in a variety of ways, and some are even capable of changing seating configurations to meet your changing family needs. It is possible to fit up to three children on the seat board or two toddlers in the seats with enough space to carry a shopping bag. Accessories like rain covers are also available. Typically, convertible double strollers are larger and heavier than single pushchairs as they are required to be capable of holding two or more children. The Graco Modes Nest2Grow is one instance of a low-cost convertible that is user-friendly, but our testers thought it was a bit heavy for the price.

Some convertible double strollers, such as the Baby Jogger City Select 2 comes with a carrycot which is suitable for newborns. This allows the double stroller to be compacted and reduce in size when it is not used. The City Select's clever folding system that is one-handed impressed our test subjects however it requires some practice. It also feels quite nimble and agile, despite being larger than other double stroller sale strollers.

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

If you're looking to expand your options, consider a dual-mode convertible such as the iCandy Peach. It's a small double buggy that can hold two children side-by-side and can be used as a tandem, with the addition of a second seat kit and rider board. It is responsive and nimble and our testers loved its sleek design. It's not as light as the other pushchairs in our list however, it comes with an ample shopping basket that is ideal for parents with bags full of groceries and toys.

Lightweight

Convertible double strollers are a great option for parents who have a child and expect the arrival of a second. The iCandy Peach can be converted from a single pushchair a double with the addition of a toddler's seat, or the brand's carrycot (which works well to sleep at night). The seats are extremely comfortable and our testers love the fact that they can recline in multiple positions. They also appreciate the feature that the canopy comes with a peekaboo window and UPF 50+ protection. The rear seat can be raised to allow the child of a higher age can stand on it to reach the basket of shopping.

The only downside to the iCandy Peach is that it is quite heavy, but Cher felt this was overcome by the ease to move around and how big the storage space is, with two hanging child and parent cup holders, seat-back pockets and a large underseat storage basket. Cher also loved that the seats can be reversed so that they face each other. This is perfect for siblings who like to chat and have conversations when they are out and about.

A lighter and equally impressive option is the Delta Children LX side-by-side stroller that weighs just 18 lbs, is super compact and has a self-standing fold, making it easy to carry and store in your trunk or at home. Parents love 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 isn't as prominent due to its location as it is higher than the first seat.

Another popular option is the Joolz Geo 3, which is slim and sleek. It is also easy to steer, with an attractive design and a lifetime guarantee. It's important to keep in mind that, despite their slimmer design, side by side prams are larger than tandems and in-line doubles. They can be difficult to navigate through crowded footpaths or in shops. However, they are often shorter, which means they can be easier to turn in tight spaces than tandems.
