Choosing a Double Pram and Pushchair
A double pram can simplify life for families, particularly in busy shops or on busy streets. Pick a model with ample storage space for nappies, snacks, and other necessities.
Some parents who are first-time parents choose a future-proof pushchair that can be used as a single stroller when baby is born, and later transformed into a twin-mode when the baby is old enough. Joolz offers a wide range of options.
Tandem
The announcement that you're expecting a baby is among life's most exciting experiences. But, once the excitement fades and reality sinks in, you could be faced with a multitude of choices regarding how to prepare your family for the arrival of your baby one or one. One of the most important considerations is choosing the correct pram or pushchair.
Tandem prams (also known as 'in-line' double prams) are a classic style with two seats or pram bassinets that are arranged side-by-side. The front seat, which is usually cushioned, reclines and is suitable for babies. The second seat is more upright and designed to accommodate toddlers as young as 3 years old. Some models have the option of reversible seating, which lets you choose to have your children face towards each other or gaze at you. Many tandems have the option of being converted into a single pushchair when you decide that your child's oldest does not require the second seat.
A tandem is more affordable than twin prams and is a great option for parents looking to save money, without having to sacrifice safety or functional. However, the drawback of a tandem is that it can be heavy and long to steer, especially when you're moving up and down kerbs. Additionally, it is generally less stable than a twin pram, especially if the child who is older 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 focuses on image, is a fantastic choice for a single parent who wants a sleeker style. However the tandem mode makes it feel long and heavy to push. It features an innovative frame that can be expanded to allow for the addition of the second seat, and is compatible with many combinations of carrycots, buggy seats and car seats (two at once or separately). The iCandy Wave is another lightweight tandem option that is easy to use and compatible with a variety of car seats and carrycots.
Side by side
When it comes time to choose a double pram or pushchair there's a lot to think about. If you're buying for twins or other siblings that are similar in age, there are a number of configuration options to take into account. Tandem prams, referred to as side-by-side prams, are a popular choices due to the fact that they can be configured so that the infant can be seated in the bassinet in the middle while the toddler or older child is sitting in the second seat.
Some models have reversible seating which allow you to alter the seating arrangement for your family members throughout the baby and toddler years. This lets you keep your little ones always in your sights and also gives them the chance to interact with one another as 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 supermarkets and shops, as they are less bulky.
The Redsbaby JIVE3 Pram, for instance can be used as a tandem pram starting from birth in dual mode with the addition of the rumble seat (PS249). If your child gets bored of the rumble seat, you can change to a single pram mode. You can also opt to make use of the car capsule adaptors to transform it from a newborn into a toddler travel system.
The Side by Side Pram by Babybee is a different alternative. This double travel buggy pram side-by-side is available in a range of colors and comes with an attractive modern style. Designed to be used from birth, you can add the LUNA newborn cocoon (PS262) or the LUNA infant seats (PS53 each) to ensure that your children are safe and comfy.
If you're looking for a sleek and elegant pushchair that can convert into a double-sided side-by-side then the Egg 2 from Chicco is a great option. It comes in a range of carrycots and infant seats to accommodate twins or siblings with different age ranges. It is also super-easy to collapse. It's also lightweight, making it a good option for people with small cars or limited space for storage.
Convertible
The best double prams or pushchairs are configured into different seats to meet your needs as they change. You can accommodate up to three children on the seat board, or two toddlers in the seats, while still having enough space to carry shopping bags. Accessories such as rain covers are also available. In general, convertible sit n stand double stroller strollers are larger and heavier than single pushchairs due to the fact that they must be able to hold two or more children. The Graco Modes Nest2Grow convertible is an example of a very affordable convertible that is simple to use. However, our test participants thought it was a bit heavy for its price.
Some convertible double strollers, such as the Baby Jogger City Select 2 has a carrycot option which is suitable for newborns. This helps to reduce the size of the double stroller when not being used and makes it smaller. The City Select's clever folding system that is one-handed impressed our test participants but it does require some practice. It's also very nimble and agile, despite being larger than other double strollers.
Another option that is reasonably priced is the Cybex Mockingbird Single-to-Double Stroller. It can be converted from a rear-facing infant car seat to a forward-facing toddler seat and the bassinet-style mode is a great choice for infants (although keep in mind that infants under 4 months old should not sleep in strollers because of the risk of asphyxia in a position).
For more flexibility, look for a dual-mode convertible such as the iCandy Peach. It's a compact double stroller that is able to accommodate two children in a tandem. It can also be used to make a tandem by adding a second seat kit. It's nimble and responsive, and our testers liked its sleek design. It's not as light as the other pushchairs in our list however it does come with an ample shopping basket that is handy for parents carrying bags of toys and food.
Lightweight
Some parents like to future-proof their double buggy if they have a child and are expecting another and a convertible model is an excellent choice. 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 is great to sleep at night). Our testers were pleased with the comfort of the seats and loved the fact that they both recline to multiple positions, come with built-in leg and foot support and have UPF 50+ canopies with windows that peek out. The rear seat can also be lifted high to offer a standing platform for the older child to climb on and off, so that they can reach items in the shopping basket.
The only issue with the iCandy Peach is that it is quite heavy, but Cher believed that this was overcome by how easy it is to maneuver and how large the storage space is, with two hanging parent and child cup holders as well as seat-back pockets, and a large underseat basket. She also appreciated the seat's design, which is reversible, so they can be set to face one another for siblings who wish to chat and interact together when out and about.
A lighter and equally impressive option is the Delta Children LX side-by-side stroller, which weighs only 18 lbs. It is compact and has a self-standing fold that makes it easy to transport and store in your trunk or at home. Parents are impressed by the quality of the materials and workmanship as well as the low price point. The only drawback is that the seats don't recline as far as some other models we've tried and the rear seat isn't as well-lit due to its positioning - it's raised higher than the front seats.
Another popular choice is the Joolz Geo 3, which is slim sleek, stylish and easy to steer, and comes with an appealing design and a lifetime guarantee. It's worth bearing in mind that, despite their slimmer design side by side prams are still larger than tandems and in-line doubles and can be difficult to navigate through busy streets or in shops. They are also shorter and therefore more maneuverable in tight spaces.
