Atomcraft.Ru)
A well-designed double pram or pushchair can simplify life for families, particularly when walking on busy roads or in stores and shops. Find a model that has generous storage space for stowing nappies, snacks, and other essentials.
Some parents who are first-time parents opt for a pushchair that is future-proof and can be used both as a single stroller once baby is born, and transformed into a twin-mode after he or she arrives. Joolz offers a range of options.
Tandem
The announcement that you are expecting a child is among life's most exciting moments. However, after the excitement of the beginning fades and reality begins to sink into your life, you'll be faced with a variety of choices regarding how to prepare your family for the arrival of your new one or ones. The proper stroller or pram is among the most crucial considerations.
Tandem prams (also called "in-line"
double push chair prams) are a classic style that have two bassinets or seats for prams arranged side by side. The front seat is typically cushioned and reclines to a flat position, making it suitable for infants, while the second seat is more upright and can be used by toddlers as young as three years old. older. Some models let you decide if your children will look at each other or face each other. A lot of tandems offer the option of converting 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 an excellent choice for parents who want to save money, but without losing safety or function. However, one disadvantage of a tandem is that it can be heavy and long to steer, especially when you're bumping up or down kerbs, and it is usually less stable than a
twin strollers for newborns pram particularly if the older child is seated in the front. A tandem can also be tricky to transport on public transport and can be difficult to maneuver on narrow roads.
The iCandy Peach is a popular model with a strong image that's a great choice for a singleton parent who wants something streamlined, but the tandem mode can make it feel quite large and heavy when pushing. It features a clever frame that expands widthways to allow the addition of the second seat, and can be used with multiple combinations of carrycots, buggy seats and car seats (two at once 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
When it comes to selecting a double pram or pushchair there's plenty to think about. Whether you're buying for twins or other siblings that are similar in age, there are a number of configuration options to take into account. Tandem prams (also known as side by side prams) are a popular choice because they can be arranged to fit infants in a bassinet on top, while the older toddler or infant sits in the lower seat below.
Some models even feature convertible seats, which means you can adapt the configuration to meet the needs of your family throughout the baby and toddler years. This allows you to see your children at all times, and allows them to interact 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 good choice if you need to brave narrow checkout aisles or isles in supermarkets because they are generally more compact than single-seaters.
The Redsbaby JIVE3 Pram, for example, can be used as a tandem pram starting from birth in dual mode with the addition of the rumble seat (PS249). It is then possible to switch to the single mode once your child is old enough to leave the rumble seat or choose the adaptors for car capsules (PS53) to turn it into a traveler from newborn to toddler.
Another alternative is the Side by Side Pram from Babybee. This double side-byside pram comes in a variety of colours and is designed in a contemporary design. The design is intended to be used from birth, you can also add the LUNA newborn cocoon (PS262) or the LUNA infant seats (PS53 each) to ensure your children are secure and comfortable.
The Egg 2 is a stylish sleek pushchair that can be transformed into a double side by side. It is available in a variety of carrycots and infant seats to accommodate twins or siblings with different ages. It's also incredibly easy to collapse. It's also light and therefore a good option for people with smaller vehicles or have limited space for storage.
Convertible
The best double pushchairs or prams can be set up to meet your changing needs. You can fit two toddlers in seats or a third child on the seat board and still have room for a shopping basket and the ability to add accessories like rain covers is a benefit. Convertible double strollers tend to be heavier and bulkier than single pushchairs because they are designed to accommodate two or more children. The Graco Modes Nest2Grow is one example of an affordable convertible that is user-friendly, however our testers felt that it was a little heavy for the price.
Some double strollers that can be converted into convertibles like the Baby Jogger City Select 2 come with a carrycot suitable for newborns. This allows the double stroller to be compacted and reduced in size when not used. The City Select's innovative, one-handed folding impressed our testers but it does require some practice. It's also extremely responsive and nimble in spite of its size.
The Cybex Mockingbird single-to-double stroller is another option that is reasonably priced. The seat converts from a rear-facing infant car seat to a forward-facing toddler seat and the bassinet option is a great choice for infants (although be aware that babies younger than four months old shouldn't use strollers to sleep due to the danger of asphyxia from position).
If you want more flexibility, consider a dual-mode convertible like the iCandy Peach. This is a narrow double stroller that can accommodate two children side-by-side. It can also be used to create a tandem by incorporating a second seat kit. It is agile and responsive, and our test users were impressed by its sleek design. It's not as lightweight as the other models on our list however it does come with a huge basket that's ideal for parents who have to carry bags full of toys and groceries.
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 to double by the addition of a toddler seat or the brand's carrycot (which works well to sleep at night). Our testers noted the comfort of the seats and loved the fact that they both recline to different positions, have built-in leg and foot supports and large UPF 50+ canopy that has peekaboo windows. The rear seat can be raised so that the child who is older can stand on it to reach the shopping basket.
Cher said that the one disadvantage of the iCandy Peach was its weight. But 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 their children as well as seat-back pockets and an enormous basket underneath the seat. Cher also liked that seats can be flipped so that they can face each other, which is ideal for siblings who love to chat and have conversations when they are out and about.
A lighter-weight but just as impressive option is the Delta Children LX side-by-side stroller that weighs just 18 lbs, is super compact and features a self-standing fold, making it easy to transport and put in your trunk or at home. Parents love the quality of materials and workmanship, and the low cost. The only issue is that the seats don't recline as much as the other models we've tested, and the rear seat isn't very well-lit due to its positioning as it's higher than the front seat.
Another popular choice is the Joolz Geo 3, which is slim, sleek and easy to steer, with an attractive design and 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 are also smaller, making them easier to maneuver in tight spaces.
