Choosing a double pram and pushchair (advice here)

A double pram can make life easier for families, particularly in bustling shops or on busy streets. Choose a model that has ample storage space for nappies, snacks, and other essentials.

Some first-time parents opt for a future-proof pushchair that can be used as a single pram once bub is born and then converted into a twin mode when the baby has arrived. Joolz has a variety of options.

Tandem

The news that you're expecting to have a baby is among the most exciting times in your life. But, once the initial excitement wears off and the reality sets in, you could be faced with a myriad of decisions regarding how to prepare your family for the arrival of your baby one or one. The right pram or stroller is one of the most important things to consider.

Tandem prams (also known as "in-line" double stroller with car seat prams) are a classic design with two seats or pram bassinets arranged side by side. The front seat, which is typically cushioned, reclines and is suitable for infants. The second seat is a bit higher and designed to accommodate toddlers as young as 3 years old. Some models have seats that can be reversible, so you can choose whether your children face towards each other or gaze at you. Many tandems can be converted to a single pushchair when your oldest child is no longer in need of the second seat.

A tandem is more affordable than twin prams and can be an excellent choice for parents who want to save money, without compromising safety or functionality. A tandem can be heavy and difficult to steer, especially when you're tripping over the kerbs. It's also less stable than twin prams particularly if a larger child is riding in the front. A tandem can be difficult to fit on public transport, and it may be difficult to navigate narrow pavements.

The iCandy Peach, a popular model with a focus on image, is a fantastic choice for parents with one child who want a sleeker appearance. However the tandem mode can make it feel a bit heavy and long to push. It features an innovative frame that can be expanded to allow for the addition of the second seat, and can be used with a variety of combinations of carrycots, buggy chairs and car seats (two at a time or in separate). 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 many things to take into consideration when selecting a double pram or pushchair. If you're buying a double pram for twins or siblings close in age there are plenty of configuration options to take into account. Tandem prams (also known as side by side prams) are popular choices as they can be configured to accommodate infants with a bassinet on the top, while the larger toddler or infant is in the second seat below.

Some models even have reversible seats, which means you can alter the seating arrangement 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 often all-terrain buggies or jogging ones that is why they're great for outdoor adventures and in the park. They're also ideal for narrow aisles or checkouts in shops and supermarkets, as they are smaller.

The Redsbaby JIVE3 pram for instance, can be utilized in tandem mode from birth, but with the addition of a Rumble seat. (PS249) It is then possible to switch to the single mode when your little one grows out of the rumble seat or choose the car capsule adaptors (PS53) to transform it into a travel system for newborn to toddler.

The Side by Side Pram made by Babybee is a different option. The side-by-side double pram is available in a range of colours and has an elegant modern design. It is designed to be used from birth, you can also add the LUNA newborn cocoon (PS262) or the LUNA infant seats (PS53 each) to ensure your baby is safe and comfy.

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

Convertible

The top double prams and pushchairs are versatile and some are capable of changing seating configurations to meet the changing needs of your family. You can fit two toddlers in the seats or a third child on the seat board and have enough space for a basket to store your shopping, and the capability to add accessories such as rain covers is a advantage. In general, convertible double jogging stroller strollers are more spacious 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 is one example of a convertible that is affordable which is very user-friendly, however our testers thought it was a little heavy for its price.

Some convertible double strollers, like the Baby Jogger City Select 2 comes with a carrycot which is suitable for newborns. This helps to reduce the size of the double stroller when not in use and makes it more compact. The City Select's innovative, one-handed folding impressed our test participants however it requires some practice. It's also quite agile and agile, despite being larger than double pram stroller strollers.

The Cybex Mockingbird single-to-double stroller is another affordable option. It converts from a rear-facing infant car seat to a forward-facing toddler seat and the bassinet option is a fantastic option for infants (although remember that babies under 4 months old should not use strollers to sleep due to the risk of positional asphyxia).

For greater flexibility, opt for a dual-mode convertible such as the iCandy Peach. It's a slim double stroller double that can accommodate two children in a tandem. It can also be used to make a tandem by adding a second seat kit. It's responsive and agile, and our testers liked its sleek design. It's not as light as the other models on our list, but it comes with a big basket that's ideal for parents who have to carry bags filled with toys and groceries.

Lightweight

Some parents prefer to secure their double buggy when they have a child and are expecting another, so a convertible option is an excellent choice. The iCandy Peach can be converted from a single pushchair into 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 appreciate that they can be reclined in multiple positions. They also appreciate the design of the canopy, which has 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 basket of shopping.

Cher said that the only negative aspect of the iCandy Peach was its weight. But she felt that this was compensated for because it's easy to move and comes with plenty of storage space and cup holders for parents and their children, seat-back pockets, and a large basket underneath the seat. Cher also appreciated that seats can be flipped so that they can be positioned to face each other, which is ideal for siblings who like to talk and interact while out and out and about.

A lighter and equally impressive option is the Delta Children LX side-by-side stroller that weighs only 18 lbs. It is compact and has a self-standing fold that makes it easy to carry and store in your trunk or at home. Parents are impressed by the quality of the materials and workmanship and the price is low. The only drawback is that the seats don't recline as much as some other models we've tried and the back seat isn't as well-lit due to its positioning as it's higher than the front seat.

Another popular option is the Joolz Geo 3, which is slim and sleek. It is also easy to steer, and comes with an attractive design and a lifetime guarantee. While they're smaller side-by-side prams may be more spacious than tandems and inline doubles. This makes them difficult to maneuver on busy streets and in shops. They're also shorter, making them more maneuverable in tight spaces.
