Choosing a Double Pram and Pushchair

A double pram can simplify the lives of families, particularly in busy shops or on busy streets. Select a model that offers plenty of storage space to store nappies, snacks, and other essentials.

Some parents who are new to the family opt for an infant pushchair that can be used as a single stroller when baby is born. It can be changed into a twin mode when the baby has arrived. Joolz has a variety of choices.

Tandem

The announcement that you are expecting a child is among the most exciting events in life. However, after the excitement fades and reality sinks in, you may be faced with a multitude of decisions regarding how to prepare your family for the arrival of your little one or one. The right pram or stroller is among the most crucial considerations.

Tandem prams (also known as "in-line" double prams) are a timeless design that have two bassinets or seats for prams arranged side by side. The front seat, which is usually padded, reclines flat and is suitable for infants. The second seat is more upright and is designed to accommodate toddlers as young as 3 years. Some models come with seats that can be reversible, so you can choose to have your children face each other or look out at you. Many tandems also have the option to convert into a single pushchair in the event that you decide that your child's oldest doesn't require the second seat.

A tandem is more affordable than a twin pram and can be an ideal choice for parents who want to save money without having to sacrifice safety or functional. A tandem can be heavy and difficult to steer, particularly when negotiating the kerbs. It's also less stable than twin umbrella stroller pushchairs particularly if a larger child is seated 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 looking for a sleeker design however the tandem mode can make it feel quite heavy and long when pushing. It comes with frames that can be expanded in width to accommodate the second seat. It can be used with a variety of car seats, buggy seats, and carrycots (two at simultaneously or separately). The iCandy Wave is another lightweight tandem option that's simple to use and compatible with a variety of car seats and carrycots.

Side by side

There are a lot of things to think about when selecting a double pram or pushchair. There are a variety of configuration options available, whether you're buying for twins or close-in-age siblings. Tandem prams, also 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 on top while the older child or toddler 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 baby and toddler years. This lets you see your children at all times, and gives them the chance to interact when they walk.

Tandem prams are jogging buggies as well as all-terrain buggies. They are ideal for outdoor excursions, like to the park. They're also ideal for narrow aisles or checkouts in shops and supermarkets because they are more compact.

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). If your child is no longer a member of the rumble chair, you can change to the single pram mode. You can also choose to use the car capsule adaptors to convert it from a newborn to a toddler travel system.

The Side by side by side double stroller Pram from Babybee is a different option. The side-by-side double pram is available in a variety of colours and has an elegant modern design. It is designed to be used from 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 converted into a double side-by-side. It's available in a variety of infant and carrycots to accommodate twins or siblings of different age ranges. It's also incredibly easy to fold. It's also fairly light making it an ideal choice for families who have small cars or only a little storage space.

Convertible

Some of the best double prams or pushchairs are configured into different seats to meet your needs as they change. You can fit up to three children on the seat board or two toddlers in the seats with room for shopping bags. Accessories like rain covers are also available. Typically, convertible double pram buggy strollers are larger and heavier than single pushchairs due to the fact that they are required to be able 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 test participants considered it to be quite heavy for the money.

Some double strollers that convert into convertibles, such as the Baby Jogger City Select 2 have a carrycot that is suitable for newborns. This reduces the size of the Double Stroller For Twins; Ling.Teasg.Tw, stroller when not in use, and makes it more compact. Our test subjects were awed by the City Select's innovative one-handed fold, although it does take some practice. It's also extremely fluid and agile in spite of its size.

The Cybex Mockingbird single-to-double stroller is another affordable option. The seat can be transformed from a child-facing car seat to an forward-facing toddler seat. The bassinet mode is a great choice for infants.

If you're looking for more flexibility look into a convertible with dual modes like the iCandy Peach. This is a narrow double car seat stroller stroller that can hold two children side-by-side. It can be used to create a tandem by incorporating a second seat kit. It is fluid and responsive, and our test users loved its sleek design. It's not as light as some of the other pushchairs on our list however it does come with a large shopping basket which is handy for parents carrying bags of groceries and toys.

Lightweight

Convertible double strollers are an excellent option for parents who already have a child and expect another. The iCandy Peach can be converted from a single pushchair double by the addition of a toddler's seat, or the brand's carrycot (which is ideal to sleep at night). Our testers were pleased with the comfort of the seats and loved the fact that they can recline in a variety of positions, feature built-in leg and foot supports and have UPF 50+ canopy with windows that peek out. The rear seat can be elevated to provide a an elevated platform for the older child to climb off and on so they can reach things in the basket of groceries.

Cher said that the one downside of the iCandy Peach was its weight. However, she believed this was offset because it's easy to move and comes with plenty of storage space and cup holders for children and parents as well as seat-back pockets and a large basket underneath the seat. Cher also liked that the seats can be turned so that they can be positioned to face each other, which is ideal for siblings who want to talk and interact when 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 features a self standing fold, making it easy to carry around or put in your trunk. Parents love the quality of materials and workmanship, as well as the cost. The only drawbacks are that the seats don't recline as well as other models we have tested and the rear seat is not as well-lit due to its location - it is raised higher than the first seat.

The Joolz Geo 3 is another popular choice. It's slim, sleek, easy to steer and comes with a lifetime guarantee. It is important to remember that, despite their slimmer design, side by side prams are still larger than tandems and in-line doubles. They can be difficult to navigate through busy streets or in shops. They're also shorter and therefore more maneuverable in tight spaces.
