Choosing a Double Pram and PushchairA double pram can simplify life for families, especially in busy shops or on busy streets. Look for a model with ample storage space for nappies, snacks and other essentials.Some first-time parents choose a future-proof pushchair that can be used both as a single stroller at the time baby is born, and then changed to a twin mode after the baby arrives. Joolz offers a range of choices.TandemThe announcement that you're expecting a baby is one of the most exciting events in your life. However, after the initial excitement wears off and reality sinks into your life, you'll be faced with a multitude of decisions regarding how to prepare your family for the arrival of your baby one or ones. The best stroller or pram is among the most crucial considerations.Tandem prams (also known as 'in-line' double prams) are a classic style with two seats or pram bassinets that are arranged side-by-side. The front seat is usually covered in padding and reclines to a flat angle, making it suitable for babies and the second seat is more upright and can accommodate toddlers from around three years older. Some models come with the option of reversible seating, which lets you choose whether your children face towards each other or gaze at you. Many tandems can be made into one pushchair when your oldest child is no longer required to have the second seat.In terms of cost the tandem is cheaper than a twin pushchair, and can be a great choice for parents looking to save money without compromising on safety or convenience. However, the drawback of a tandem is that it may be a bit heavy and lengthy to steer, particularly when bumping up or down kerbs. It is often less stable than a twin pushchair, especially if the child with the most weight is sitting in the front. A tandem can be difficult to fit on public transport, and it may be difficult to maneuver narrow pavements.strollers double , a popular model that focuses on image, is a great alternative for parents who are single and want an attractive appearance. However, the tandem mode makes it feel a bit heavy and long to push. It has a frame that expands 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 easy to use and compatible with a range of car seats and carrycots.Side by sideThere are many things to think about when selecting a double pushchair or pram. If you're buying a double pram for twins or siblings close in age there are plenty of configuration options to consider. Tandem prams, also known as side-by-side prams are popular options because they can be set up 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 have reversible seating that let you customize the layout of your family members throughout the toddler and baby years. This lets you see your children at all times and allows them to connect with them as they walk.Tandem prams can be jogging buggies or all-terrain buggies. They are great for outdoor excursions, like to the park. They're also a great option when you have to traverse narrow aisles in the supermarket or at checkouts because they are generally more compact than single-seaters.The Redsbaby JIVE3 pram for example can be used in tandem mode from birth, with the addition of the Rumble seat. (PS249) If your child is no longer a member of the rumble chair you can switch to the single pram mode. You can also opt to use the adaptors for car capsules to transform it from a newborn to a toddler travel system.The Side by Side Pram by Babybee is another option. This side-by-side double pram is available in a range of colours and has an attractive modern style. The design is intended 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 your little ones are comfortable and safe.The Egg 2 is a stylish sleek pushchair that can be transformed into a double side-by-side. It's available in a variety of infant and carrycot combinations to accommodate twins or siblings of different age groups and is easy to fold. It's also quite light making it an ideal option for those with small cars or limited storage space.ConvertibleSome of the top double pushchairs or prams can be 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 enough space for a shopping basket and the option to add additional accessories such as rain covers is another benefit. Convertible double strollers tend to be larger and heavier than single pushchairs due to the fact that they have to hold two or more children. The Graco Modes Nest2Grow convertible is an example of a very affordable convertible that is simple to use. However, our reviewers found it to be quite heavy for the money.Some convertible double strollers, like the Baby Jogger City Select 2 has a carrycot option that is suitable for infants. This allows the double stroller to be compacted and reduce in size when it is not used. Our test subjects were awed by the City Select's unique one-handed fold, although it does take some time to master. It's also very agile and responsive in spite of its size.Another option that is affordable is the Cybex Mockingbird Single-to-Double Stroller. The seat can be transformed from a child-facing car seat to an forward-facing toddler seat. The bassinet feature makes it a great option for infants.For more flexibility, look for a convertible with dual modes such as the iCandy Peach. This is a narrow double buggy which can accommodate two children side-by-side and can be used as a tandem by the addition of a second-seat kit and rider board. It's nimble and responsive and our testers loved its sleek design. It's not as lightweight as some of the other models on our list but it has a large basket that's ideal for parents who have to carry bags full of toys and other items.LightweightSome parents like to future-proof 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 change from a single pushchair to a double pushchair by the addition of a toddler seat or the brand's carrycot (which is suitable for overnight sleeping). Our testers were pleased with how comfortable the seats are and love the fact that both recline to different positions, come with built-in foot and leg supports and large UPF 50+ canopy that has peekaboo windows. The rear seat can be raised to allow the child of a higher age can stand on it to reach the basket of shopping.The only downside to the iCandy Peach is that it is quite heavy, however Cher found that it was offset by the ease to move around and how big the storage area is with two hanging parent and child cup holders, seat-back pockets and a large underseat basket. Cher also appreciated the seat's design, which is reversible, so they can be placed to face one another for siblings who wish to chat and interact together while out and out and about.The Delta Children LX Side-by-Side Stroller is a smaller model and still impressive. It weighs just 18 pounds, is lightweight and features an auto-standing fold, making it easy to transport or store in your trunk. Parents love the quality of the materials and workmanship as well as the low price point. The only issue is that the seats don't recline as far as the other models we've examined and the back seat isn't very well-lit due to its positioning as it's higher than the front seats.Another popular choice is the Joolz Geo 3, which is slim sleek, stylish and easy to steer, and comes with an appealing design and a lifetime guarantee. Although they are narrower than side-by-side strollers, they can be wider than tandems and inline doubles. This can make them difficult to maneuver on busy footpaths and in shops. However, they are often smaller, and can be easier to turn in tight spaces than tandems.
