Choosing a Double Pram and Pushchair

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

Some parents who are new to the world choose a future-proof pushchair which can be used both as a single stroller at the time baby is born, and converted to a twin stroller side by side mode after he or she arrives. Joolz offers a range of these options.

Tandem

The news that you're about to have to have a baby is among the most exciting events in life. However, once the initial excitement wears off and reality sinks into your life, you'll be faced with a variety of decisions about how to prepare your family for the arrival of your new one or one. One of the most important considerations is choosing the best pram or pushchair.

Tandem prams (also called 'in-line' double prams) are a classic style that have two seats or pram bassinets arranged side by side. The front seat is typically padded and reclines to a flat position, making it suitable for babies and the second seat is more upright and can accommodate toddlers as young as three years old. older. 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 also have the option of converting into a single pushchair in the event that you decide that your oldest child does not require the second seat.

In terms of cost, a tandem is much cheaper than a twin pushchair and can be an excellent choice for parents looking to save money, but not compromise on safety or convenience. However, a drawback of a tandem is that it could be heavy and long to steer especially when moving up and down kerbs. Additionally, it is generally less stable than a twin pram especially if the child with the most weight is seated at the front. A tandem can be difficult to place on public transportation, and it can be difficult to navigate narrow roads.

The iCandy Peach, a popular model that focuses on image, is a fantastic alternative for parents with one child who want an elegant design. However the tandem mode makes it feel long and heavy to push. It's got an expanded frame that increases in dimensions to accommodate the second seat. It can be used with a range of combinations 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 range of car seats and carrycots.

Side by side

There are many things to take into consideration when selecting a double pram pushchair pushchair or pram. There are numerous configuration options to choose from, regardless of whether you're buying for twins or close-in-age siblings. Tandem prams (also called side by side prams) are a popular choice since they can be set up to accommodate infants in a bassinet at the top while the older infant or toddler sits in the second seat below.

Some models even have convertible seats, which means you can modify the seating to suit your family's needs throughout the toddler and baby years. This allows you to see your children at all times and allows them to be a part of the journey while they walk.

Tandem prams are typically jogging or all-terrain buggies that is why they're great for outdoor excursions and the park. They're also a good option if you need to brave narrow checkout aisles or isles in supermarkets because they're generally more compact than single-seaters.

The Redsbaby JIVE3 Pram, for instance can be used as a tandem pram starting from birth in dual mode with the addition of the rumble seat (PS249). Then, you can switch to the single mode once your child gets used to the rumble seat or select the adaptors for car capsules (PS53) to transform it into a traveler from infant to toddler.

Another alternative is the Side by Side Pram from Babybee. The double side-by-side pram is available in a range of colors and is designed with a contemporary design. It is designed to be used from birth, you can also add the LUNA Cocoon for newborns (PS262) and the LUNA Infant Seats (PS53 each).

If you're looking for a sleek, elegant pushchair that can be converted into a side-by-side double, the Egg 2 from Chicco is an excellent choice. It is available in a variety of infant seats and carrycots to accommodate twins or siblings of different ages. It's also incredibly easy to fold. It's also relatively lightweight, which makes it a great choice for those who have small cars or only a little storage space.

Convertible

The best double prams or pushchairs can be configured into different seats to meet your needs as they change. You can fit two toddlers in a seat or a third child on the seat board and still have room for a shopping basket and the capability to add accessories such as rain covers is also a benefit. Convertible double strollers are generally heavier and bulkier 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 an affordable convertible that is easy to use. However, our test participants considered it to be somewhat heavy for the money.

Some convertible smallest double buggy strollers, such as the Baby Jogger City Select 2 comes with a carrycot which is suitable for newborns. This reduces the size of the double buggy from birth stroller when 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 also feels quite nimble and responsive, despite it being bigger than other double pram stroller strollers.

The Cybex Mockingbird single-to-double stroller is another option that is reasonably priced. It converts from a car seat with a parent seat to a forward-facing toddler car seat and the bassinet option is a fantastic option for infants (although be aware that babies younger than four months old shouldn't sleep in strollers because of the risk of asphyxia in a position).

To be more flexible, opt for a dual-mode convertible such as the iCandy Peach. This is a narrow double stroller that can hold two children at the same time. It can also be used to create a tandem by incorporating a second seat kit. It feels agile and agile, and our testers liked its sleek design. It's not as light as the other pushchairs in our list, but it offers an ample shopping basket that is great for parents who carry bags of toys and groceries.

Lightweight

Some parents prefer to secure their double pushchair if they have a child and are expecting another, so a convertible option is a good option. The iCandy Peach allows you to transform from a single to a double pushchair by the addition of either 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 recline in various positions. They also appreciate the design of the canopy, which has a window that peeks out and offers UPF 50+ protection. The rear seat can also be elevated to provide a an elevated platform for the child to climb off and on, to allow them to access items in the shopping basket.

Cher said that the only downside of the iCandy Peach was its weight. However, she felt this was offset because it is easy to maneuver and comes with plenty of storage space, including two cup holders for parents and children, seat-back pockets, and a large basket under the seat. Cher also appreciated that the seats can be turned so that they can be positioned to face each other, which is great for siblings who like to chat and have conversations when they are 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 love the quality of materials and workmanship, as well as 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 as it's higher than the front seat.

The Joolz Geo 3 is another popular choice. It's slim, sleek and easy to steer, and comes with a lifetime warranty. Although they are narrower than side-by-side strollers, they can be larger than tandems and inline doubles. This makes them difficult to maneuver on busy streets and in shops. They're also shorter and therefore more maneuverable in tight spaces.
