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 for nappies, snacks, and other essentials.

Some parents who are first-time parents choose a future proof pushchair that can be used as a single pram when baby is born. It can be transformed into a twin-mode once he or she is old enough. Joolz offers a range of these options.

Tandem

The announcement that you're expecting to have a baby is among the most exciting times in life. After the excitement wears off and the reality of the situation begins to set in, you'll be faced with a variety of options for how you can prepare your family. One of the most important considerations is choosing the correct pram or pushchair.

Tandem prams (also known as "in-line" double pushchair from birth prams) are a timeless design that feature two seats or pram bassinets that are arranged side-by-side. The front seat is typically covered in padding and reclines to a flat position, making it suitable for infants and the second seat is more upright and can accommodate toddlers from around three years old. Certain models let you decide if your children will look at each other or outwards. Many tandems can be converted into a single pushchair when your oldest child is no longer required to have the second seat.

In terms of cost, a tandem is much cheaper than a twin pushchair and can be a great choice for parents who want to save money but not compromising on safety or functionality. A tandem can be a bit heavy and difficult to steer, particularly when you're tripping over the kerbs. It is also less stable than twin pushchairs especially when a bigger child is riding in the front. A tandem can also be difficult to fit onto public transport and is difficult to maneuver on narrow roads.

The iCandy Peach is a popular model that is a good choice for a single parent who is looking for something that is sleek, but the tandem mode can make it feel large and heavy when pushing. It features a clever frame that expands in width to accommodate the second seat, and is compatible with many combinations of buggy seats, carrycots and car seats (two at a time or in separate). The iCandy Wave tandem is another lightweight option that's easy-to-use and compatible with a variety of carrycots or car seats.

Side by side

There are many things to consider when choosing a double pushchair or pram. There are a variety of configuration options to choose from, 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 set up to fit infants in a bassinet on the top, while the older toddler or infant is in the seat below.

Some models have reversible seats that allow you to customize the seating arrangement for your family throughout the baby and toddler years. This lets you see your children at all times, and allows them to connect with them while they walk.

Tandem prams are usually jogging or all-terrain buggies that is why they're great for outdoor excursions and the park. These are also good for narrow aisles and checkouts in shops and supermarkets as they are smaller.

The Redsbaby JIVE3 pram, for example can be utilized in tandem mode from birth with the addition of a Rumble seat. (PS249) If your child is no longer a member of the rumble chair, you can change to one pram mode. You can also opt to use the car capsule adaptors to transform it from a newborn to toddler travel system.

The Side by Side Pram made by Babybee is a different alternative. This double side-byside pram comes in a variety of colors and is designed with a modern style. Designed 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 children are safe and comfy.

The Egg 2 is a stylish, sleek pushchair that can be converted into a double side by side. It's available in a variety of infant and carrycot combinations to accommodate twins or siblings of varying ages and is super-easy to fold. It's also relatively lightweight, which makes it a great choice for those with smaller cars or a limited storage space.

Convertible

The best double prams or pushchairs are set up to meet your changing needs. There is the possibility of fitting two toddlers in the seats or a third child on the seat board and still have room for a basket to store your shopping, and the option to add accessories like rain covers is also a benefit. Convertible double strollers tend to be heavier and larger than single pushchairs due to the fact that they are designed to accommodate two or more children. The Graco Modes Nest2Grow convertible is an example of an affordable convertible that is simple to use. However, our testers found it to be somewhat heavy for the money.

Some double strollers that can be converted into convertibles like the Baby Jogger City Select 2 include a carrycot suitable for newborns. This reduces the size of the double stroller when it is not in use, and makes it more compact. Our test participants were awestruck by the City Select's unique one-handed fold. However, it does take a bit of practice. It's also quite agile and responsive, despite being bigger than other double strollers.

The Cybex Mockingbird single-to-double stroller is another affordable option. It can be converted from a parent facing infant car seat to an forward-facing toddler seat. The bassinet 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 tandem pushchair buggy that can fit two children side-by-side and can be used as a tandem by 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 lightweight like some of the other models we've reviewed, but it has a large basket that is useful for parents who are carrying bags full of toys and food items.

Lightweight

Convertible double strollers are a great alternative for parents who have children and anticipate the arrival of a second. The iCandy Peach can be converted from a single pushchair to a double with the addition of a toddler's seat, or the brand's carrycot (which is great for overnight sleeping). The seats are very comfortable and our testers love that they can recline in a variety of positions. They also like the feature that the canopy comes with a peekaboo window and UPF 50+ protection. The rear seat can be raised so that the older child can stand on it to reach the shopping basket.

The only issue with the iCandy Peach is that it is quite heavy, but Cher believed that this was offset by how easy it is to maneuver and how large the storage area is, with two hanging parent and child cup holders, seat-back pockets and a large underseat storage basket. Cher also loved that the seats can be reversed so that they can be positioned to face each other, which is perfect for siblings who want to interact and talk when they are out and about.

The Delta Children LX Side-by-Side Stroller is a smaller model however, it is still awe-inspiring. It weighs just 18 pounds, is lightweight, and has a self standing fold, making it simple to transport or store in your trunk. Parents appreciate the quality of the materials and craftsmanship as well as the affordable price. The only negatives are that the seats don't recline as well as other models we have tested and the rear seat isn't as visible due to its position as it is higher than the first seat.

The Joolz Geo 3 is another popular choice. It's slim, sleek, and easy to steer and has an unbeatable lifetime warranty. Although they are smaller side-by-side prams may be larger than tandems and inline doubles. This can make them difficult to maneuver on busy footpaths and in shops. They are also shorter and therefore more maneuverable in tight spaces.
