Choosing a Double Pram and Pushchair

A double pram or pushchair can simplify the lives of families, especially on busy streets or in shops and stores. Look for a model with ample storage space for nappies, snacks, and other essentials.

Some first-time parents opt for an infant pushchair that can be used as a single pram when baby is born. It can be transformed into a twin-mode after the baby is old enough. Joolz has a variety of 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 begins to set in, you will be faced with a variety of decisions regarding how to prepare your family. The right pram or stroller is among the most important things to consider.

Tandem prams, also referred as "in-line" double prams are a classic style with two bassinets or chairs placed side by side. The front seat is usually padded and reclines to a flat position making it suitable for babies, while the second seat is more upright and is able to accommodate toddlers up to three years old. older. Some models allow you to choose whether your children look at each other or outwards. A lot of tandems offer the option to convert into a single pushchair when you decide that your oldest child no longer needs the second seat.

A tandem is cheaper than twin prams and can be a great option for parents who want to save money without compromising safety or functionality. A tandem can be a bit heavy and difficult to steer, particularly when you're tripping over curbs. It is also less stable than twin prams especially when a bigger child is seated in the front. A tandem can also be tricky to get onto public transport and can be difficult to maneuver on narrow roads.

The iCandy Peach, a popular model with a focus on image, is a fantastic alternative for parents with one child who want a sleeker appearance. However the tandem mode makes it feel heavy and long to push. It has an innovative frame that expands in width to accommodate the second seat, and can be used with multiple combinations of buggy seats, carrycots and car seats (two at a time or separately). The iCandy Wave tandem is another lightweight option that's user-friendly and compatible with a range of carrycots or car seats.

Side by side

When it comes to choosing a double pushchair or pram there's a lot to think about. If you're buying a double pram for twins or siblings close in age there are a variety of configuration choices to think about. Tandem prams, also known as side-by-side prams, are popular options because they can be set up in a way that the infant can sit in the bassinet at the top while the older child or toddler is sitting in the second chair.

Some models have reversible seats that let you customize the seating arrangement for your family members throughout the infant and toddler years. This allows you to see your children at all times, and allows them to interact as they walk.

Tandem prams are often all-terrain buggies or jogging ones, which means they're ideal for outdoor excursions and the park. They're also ideal for narrow aisles or checkouts in shops and supermarkets, as they are less bulky.

The Redsbaby JIVE3 Pram, for instance can be used as a tandem pram right from birth in the 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 switch to one pram mode. You may also opt to use the adaptors for car capsules to transform it from a newborn into a toddler travel system.

Another alternative is the Side by Side Pram from Babybee. This side-by-side double pram is available in a variety of colours and has a beautiful modern style. Designed to be used right from the moment of birth, you can choose to add the LUNA newborn cocoon (PS262) or the LUNA infant seats (PS53 each) to ensure that your baby is comfortable and safe.

If you're seeking a sleek, elegant pushchair that can be converted into a double-sided side-by-side and a side-by-side double, the Egg 2 from Chicco is a great option. It's available in a range of infant seat and carrycot configurations to accommodate twins or siblings of different ages and is super-easy to fold. It's also lightweight, making it a good option for people with small cars or limited space to store.

Convertible

Some of the best double pushchairs or prams can be configured into different seats to meet your needs as they change. It is possible to fit up to three children on the seat board, or two toddlers in the seats with enough space for shopping bags. Accessories such as rain covers are also available. Typically, convertible double strollers are larger and heavier than single pushchairs double due to the fact that they are required to be able to accommodate two or more children. The Graco Modes Nest2Grow is one instance of a low-cost convertible which is very easy to use, although our testers thought it was a little heavy for the price.

Some convertible double strollers like the Baby Jogger City Select 2 has a carrycot option that is suitable for infants. This helps to reduce the size of the double stroller when it is not in use and makes it more compact. The City Select's innovative, one-handed folding impressed our testers, but it takes some time to master. It's also extremely responsive and nimble in spite of its size.

Another option that is affordable is an affordable option is the Cybex Mockingbird Single-to-Double Stroller. The seat converts from a parent-facing infant car seat to a forward-facing toddler seat, and the bassinet mode is a great choice for infants (although be aware that babies younger than 4 months old should not sleep in strollers because of the risk of positional asphyxia).

If you want more flexibility Consider a convertible that has dual modes like the iCandy Peach. It's a slim double stroller that can hold two children in a tandem. It can be used to create a tandem by incorporating a second seat kit. It's responsive and agile and our test participants loved its sleek design. It's not as light as the other pushchairs we've reviewed however it does come with an ample shopping basket that is great for parents who carry bags full of toys and groceries.

Lightweight

Convertible double strollers are an excellent alternative for parents who have a child and expect another. The iCandy Peach allows you to transform from a single to a double pushchair, with the addition of either a toddler seat or the brand's carrycot (which is suitable for overnight sleeping). Our test subjects were impressed by how comfortable the seats are and love the fact that they can recline in a variety of positions, feature built-in leg and foot support and have UPF 50+ canopies with peekaboo windows. The rear seat can be raised to allow the child of a higher age can stand on it to reach the shopping basket.

Cher stated that the only negative aspect of the iCandy Peach was its weight. But she felt this was offset because it is easy to maneuver and offers plenty of storage space, including two cup holders for parents and their children as well as seat-back pockets and an enormous basket underneath the seat. Cher also loved that the seats can be turned to face each other. This is ideal for siblings who want to chat and have conversations while out and out and about.

A lighter, but equally impressive option is the Delta Children LX side-by-side stroller that weighs only 18 pounds, is extremely compact and features an auto-standing fold that makes it easy to transport and store in your trunk or at home. Parents love the quality of materials and workmanship, and the affordable price. The only downside is that the seats don't recline as far as other models we've tried, and the rear seat isn't as well-lit due to its positioning that is higher than the front seat.

Another popular choice is the Joolz Geo 3, which is slim sleek, stylish and easy to steer, and comes with an attractive design and a lifetime guarantee. Although they are smaller side-by-side prams may be wider than tandems and inline doubles. This makes them difficult to maneuver on busy footpaths and in shops. They are also smaller and therefore easier to maneuver in tight spaces.
