Choosing a Double Pram and Pushchair A double pram can make life easier for families, particularly in busy shops or on busy streets. Choose a model that has ample storage space to store nappies as well as snacks and other essentials. Some parents who are new to the world choose a future-proof pushchair that can be used as a single stroller once baby is born, and converted to a twin mode when the baby is born. Joolz offers a range of these options. Tandem The news that you're about to have a baby is one of the most exciting times in your life. After the excitement wears off and the reality of the situation kicks in, you will be faced with many options for how you can prepare your family. The right pram or stroller is one of the most important considerations. Tandem prams (also called 'in-line' double prams) are a timeless design that feature two seats or pram bassinets arranged side-by-side. The front seat, which is usually cushioned, reclines and is suitable for newborns. The second seat is a bit higher and designed to accommodate toddlers as young as three years. Some models allow you to decide if your children will look at each other or face each other. Many tandems can be made into one pushchair once your oldest child is no longer using the second seat. In terms of price the tandem is cheaper than a twin pushchair, and can be a great choice for parents looking to save money but not compromising on safety or convenience. A tandem can be heavy and difficult to steer, particularly when you're tripping over kerbs. It's also less stable than twin pushchairs particularly if a larger child is riding in the front. A tandem can be difficult to transport on public transport and can be difficult to maneuver on narrow pavements. The iCandy Peach is a popular model that is a good choice for a singleton parent who is looking for something that is sleek however the tandem mode can make it feel large and heavy when pushing. It comes with a frame that expands in dimensions to accommodate the second seat. double pram and pushchair can be used with a variety of combinations of car seats, buggy seats, and carrycots (two at simultaneously or separately). 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 When it comes time to choose a double pushchair or pram there's a lot to consider. If you're buying a double pram for twins or siblings close in age, there are a number of configuration options to take into account. Tandem prams, also known as side-by-side prams, are a popular choices because they can be configured so that the infant is able to sit in the bassinet in the middle while the toddler or older child is sitting in the second chair. Some models come with reversible seats, which means you can modify the seating to your family's requirements throughout the toddler and baby years. This allows you to keep your kids always in your sight and gives them a chance to get to know each other while they walk. Tandem prams are typically jogging buggies or all-terrain ones that is why they're great for outdoor adventures and the park. They're also a good option if you need to brave narrow aisles in the supermarket or at checkouts, as they tend to be smaller than single-seaters. The Redsbaby JIVE3 Pram, for instance can be used as a tandem pram right from birth in the dual mode, with the addition of the rumble seat (PS249). It is then possible to switch to the single pram mode once your baby is old enough to leave the rumble seat, or use the car capsule adaptors (PS53) to transform it into a traveler from newborn to toddler. Another option is the Side by Side Pram from Babybee. This side-by-side double pram is available in a variety of colors and features an elegant modern design. Designed to be used right from the moment of birth, you can include the LUNA Cocoon for newborns (PS262) and the LUNA Infant Seats (PS53 each). If you're seeking a sleek, stylish pushchair that converts into a side-by-side double, the Egg 2 from Chicco is an excellent choice. It's available in a variety of infant and carrycots to accommodate twins or siblings of different ages. It is also super-easy to collapse. It's also relatively lightweight and therefore an ideal option for those with smaller cars or a limited storage space. Convertible The best double prams and pushchairs are versatile and some are able to change into different seating arrangements to meet your changing family needs. You can fit two toddlers in the seats or a third rider on the seat board and have room for a shopping basket and the option to add accessories like rain covers is another plus. Typically, convertible double strollers are more spacious and heavier than single pushchairs as they must be able to accommodate two or more children. The Graco Modes Nest2Grow is one example of an affordable convertible that is extremely user-friendly, but our testers felt that it was a little heavy for the price. Some double strollers that can be converted into convertibles like the Baby Jogger City Select 2 come with a carrycot suitable for infants. This allows the double stroller to be compacted and reduced in size when not being used. The City Select's innovative, one-handed folding impressed our testers however it requires some practice. It's also quite agile and agile, despite being larger than double strollers. The Cybex Mockingbird single-to-double stroller is an alternative that is affordable. The seat can be converted from a parent facing infant car seat to a forward-facing toddler seat. The bassinet-style mode is a great choice for infants. If you're looking for more flexibility, consider a dual-mode convertible such as the iCandy Peach. This is a narrow double stroller that can hold two children side-by-side. It can be used to create a tandem by adding a second seating kit. It is responsive and nimble and our testers loved its sleek design. It's not as lightweight like some of the other models on our list however it does come with a huge basket that is useful for parents who are carrying bags filled with toys and other items. Lightweight Some parents want to ensure the future of their double buggy if they have one child and are expecting another, so a convertible option is a good option. The iCandy Peach allows you to convert from a single to a double pushchair with the addition of an infant seat or the brand's optional carrycot (which is suitable for sleeping at night). The seats are extremely comfortable and our testers love that they can be reclined in various positions. They also like the feature that the canopy comes with an open window that can be seen from afar and has 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 it was offset by its ease to maneuver and how large the storage is with two hanging child and parent cup holders with seat-back pockets as well as a large underseat basket. Cher also loved that seats can be flipped so that they be positioned to face each other, which is ideal for siblings who love to talk and interact when out and out and about. A lighter-weight but just as impressive option is the Delta Children LX side-by-side stroller that weighs only 18 lbs, is super compact and features an auto-standing fold that makes it easy to transport and put in your trunk or at home. Parents are impressed by the quality of the materials and craftsmanship as well as the price is low. The only drawback is that the seats don't recline as much as some other models we've examined and the rear seat isn't as well-lit due to its position – it's raised higher than the front seat. The Joolz Geo 3 is another popular choice. It is slim, sleek and easy to steer, and comes with a lifetime warranty. It's important to keep in mind that, despite their slimmer design Side by side prams are still larger than tandems and in-line doubles. They can be tricky to navigate on busy streets or in shops. However, they're usually smaller, and can be easier to turn in tight spaces than tandems.
