Choosing a Double Pram and Pushchair
A double pram can simplify life for families, particularly in bustling shops or on busy streets. Look for a model with generous storage space for stowing nappies, snacks and other essentials.
Some first-time parents choose a future-proof pushchair which 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 these options.
Tandem
The announcement that you're expecting to have a baby is among the most exciting moments in your life. When the excitement wears off and the reality of the situation kicks in, you'll have to make a number of decisions regarding how you can prepare your family. One of the most important considerations is choosing the best pram or pushchair.
Tandem prams (also called 'in-line' double prams) are a timeless design that have two seats or pram bassinets that are arranged side-by-side. The front seat is typically padded and reclines to a flat position, making it suitable for infants while the second one is more upright and is able to accommodate toddlers from around three years older. Some models allow you to choose whether your children look at each other or outwards. Many tandems can be made into one pushchair when your oldest child is no longer using the second seat.
In terms of cost, a tandem is much cheaper than a twin pushchair, and can be a great choice for parents who want to save money, but not compromise on safety or function. A tandem can be a bit heavy and difficult to steer, especially when bumping over the kerbs. It's also less stable than twin prams particularly if a larger child is in the front. A tandem isn't always easy to fit on public transportation, and it can be difficult to maneuver narrow pavements.
The iCandy Peach, a popular model that focuses on image, is an excellent alternative for a single parent who wants an elegant appearance. However the tandem mode can make it feel a bit heavy and long to push. It has an innovative frame that expands in width to allow for the addition of the second seat, and can be used with multiple combinations of carrycots, buggy chairs and car seats (two at once or separately). The iCandy Wave is another lightweight tandem option that's easy 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 a lot to consider. There are numerous configuration options to choose from, regardless of whether you're purchasing for twins or close-in-age siblings. Tandem prams (also called side by side prams) are popular choices as they can be configured to accommodate infants with a bassinet at the top while the older toddler or infant sits in the seat below.
Some models have reversible seats that allow you to customize the layout of your family members throughout the toddler and baby years. This will allow you to keep your kids always in your sights and also gives them the chance to get to know each other while they walk.
Tandem prams are jogging buggies as well as all-terrain buggies. They are great for trips outdoors, such as to the park. They're also a good option for those who have to navigate narrow checkout aisles or isles in supermarkets as they're generally more compact than single-seaters.
The Redsbaby JIVE3 pram for example can be utilized in tandem mode from birth, but with the addition of a rumble seat. (PS249) If your child gets bored of the rumble seat, you can change to the single pram mode. You may also opt to make use of the car capsule adaptors to convert it from a newborn to toddler travel system.
The Side by Side Pram by Babybee is another alternative. This double pram side-by-side is available in a range of colors and features a beautiful modern style. It is designed to be used 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 children are secure and comfortable.
If you're looking for a sleek and stylish pushchair that converts into a side-byside nipper double buggy, able2know.org,, the Egg 2 from Chicco is a great option. It's available in a variety of infant and carrycot configurations to accommodate twins or siblings of various age groups. It's also easy to fold. It's also quite light and therefore an ideal choice for families with small cars or limited storage space.
Convertible
The top double prams and pushchairs are versatile and some are able to change into different seating configurations to meet your family's changing needs. There is the possibility of fitting two toddlers in seats or even a third one on the seat board and still have enough space for a basket to store your shopping, and the option to add accessories such as rain covers is also a benefit. Convertible double strollers are generally heavier and larger 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 extremely user-friendly, but our test subjects felt it was a bit heavy for its price.
Some double strollers that can be converted into convertibles like the Baby Jogger City Select 2 include a carrycot suitable for newborns. This allows the double stroller to be folded down and reduced in size when not being used. The City Select's clever single-handed folding impressed our testers but it does require some practice. It's also very nimble and responsive, despite being bigger than double pram buggy strollers.
The Cybex Mockingbird single-to-double stroller double is another option that is reasonably priced. It 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 remember that babies under 4 months old should never use strollers to sleep due to the risk of asphyxia in a position).
If you're looking for more flexibility look into a convertible with dual modes like the iCandy Peach. This is a narrow double stroller that can accommodate two children in a tandem. It can be used to create a tandem by adding a second seat kit. It's nimble and responsive and our test participants loved its sleek design. It's not as light as some of the other pushchairs in our list, but it offers an enormous shopping basket that is great for parents who carry bags full of toys and groceries.
Lightweight
Convertible double jogging stroller strollers are a great alternative for parents who have one child and are expecting the arrival of a second. The iCandy Peach allows you to transform from a single to a double pushchair with the addition of an infant seat or the brand's optional carrycot (which is suitable for overnight sleeping). The seats are very comfortable and our testers love that they can recline in a variety of positions. They also love the design of the canopy, which has a peekaboo window and UPF 50+ protection. The rear seat can also be raised to provide an elevated platform for the child to climb off and on so they can reach items in the basket of groceries.
Cher said that the only downside of the iCandy Peach was its weight. However, she felt this was offset by the fact that it is easy to move and has plenty of storage, including two cup holders for children and parents, seat-back pockets, and an enormous basket underneath the seat. Cher also appreciated that the seats can be turned to face each other, which is perfect for siblings who want to interact and talk when they are out and about.
A lighter and equally impressive choice is the Delta Children LX side-by-side stroller that weighs only 18 lbs, is super compact and features a self-standing fold that makes it easy to transport and put in your trunk or at home. Parents are impressed by the quality of materials and workmanship, as well as the cost. The only issue is that the seats don't recline as much as other models we've tested, and the rear seat isn't very well-lit due to its positioning that is higher than the front seat.
Another popular choice is the Joolz Geo 3, which is slim and sleek. It is also easy to steer, with an attractive design and lifetime guarantee. It is important to remember that, despite their smaller size, side by side prams remain more spacious than tandem and in-line doubles. They can be tricky to navigate on crowded footpaths or in shops. However, they're usually shorter too, so can be more maneuverable in tight spaces than tandems.
