Choosing a Double Pram and Pushchair

A double pram or pushchair will simplify life for families, particularly when walking on busy roads or in stores and shops. Look for a model with ample storage space for nappies, snacks and other essentials.

Some first-time parents choose a future-proof pushchair which can be used as a single stroller when baby is born, and then transformed into a twin-mode after the baby arrives. Joolz has a variety of options.

Tandem

The announcement that you're expecting a baby is one of life's most exciting experiences. Once the excitement has worn off and the reality of the situation begins to set in, you will have to make a number of choices regarding how you can prepare your family. One of the most important things to consider is choosing the right pram or pushchair.

Tandem prams, also referred to as "in-line" double infant stroller prams are a classic style with two bassinets or chairs placed side by side. The front seat, which is typically cushioned, reclines and is suitable for newborns. The second seat is more upright and designed to fit toddlers as young as three years old. Certain models let you select whether your children stare at each other or look outwards. Many tandems can be converted to one pushchair when your oldest child is no longer in need of the second seat.

A tandem is cheaper than twin prams and can be a great option for parents who want to save money, but without having to sacrifice safety or functional. A tandem can be heavy and difficult to steer, particularly when negotiating kerbs. It's also less stable than twin prams especially when a bigger child is seated in the front. A tandem can also be difficult to transport on public transport and can be difficult to navigate on narrow pavements.

The iCandy Peach is a popular model that is a good choice for a single parent looking for a sleeker design however, the tandem mode can make it feel large and heavy when pushing. It's got an expanded frame that increases in dimensions to accommodate the second seat. It can be used with a variety of car seats, buggy seats, and carrycots (two at a time 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

There are many things to consider when choosing a amazon double stroller pram or pushchair. If you're buying for twins or other siblings that are similar in age there are plenty of configuration choices to think about. Tandem prams (also known as side by side prams) are a popular choice since they can be configured to accommodate infants with a bassinet on top, while the older infant or toddler sits in the lower seat below.

Some models have reversible seating that let you customize the configuration for your family throughout the baby and toddler years. This will allow you to keep your little ones always in your sight and also gives them a chance to get to know each other while they walk.

Tandem prams are usually jogging buggies or all-terrain ones that is why they're great for outdoor adventures and in the park. These are also good for narrow aisles and checkouts in supermarkets and shops, as they are less bulky.

The Redsbaby JIVE3 pram, for example, can be used in tandem mode from birth, with the addition of the Rumble seat. (PS249) You can then change to a single pram mode once your child is old enough to leave the rumble seat, or use the adaptors for car capsules (PS53) to turn it into a travel system for newborn to toddler.

The Side by Side Pram by Babybee is another option. This double pram side-by-side is available in a range of colors and comes with an attractive modern style. It is designed to be used from the moment of birth, you can add the LUNA Cocoon for newborns (PS262) and the LUNA Infant Seats (PS53 each).

The Egg 2 is a stylish elegant pushchair that is able to be converted into a double side-by-side. It comes in a range of infant and carrycots to accommodate twins or siblings of different age ranges. It is also super-easy to collapse. It's also quite light, which makes it an ideal option for those with smaller cars or a limited storage space.

Convertible

Some of the best compact double stroller double pushchairs or prams can be made into various seats to meet your changing needs. It is possible to fit two toddlers in the seats or a third rider on the seat board and have room for a shopping basket and the option to add additional accessories such as rain covers is a benefit. Convertible double strollers tend to be larger and heavier than single pushchairs due to the fact that they need to hold two or more children. The Graco Modes Nest2Grow convertible is an example of an inexpensive convertible that is very easy to use. However, our testers found it to be quite heavy for the money.

Some double strollers that convert into convertibles, such as the Baby Jogger City Select 2 include a carrycot suitable for babies. This helps to reduce the size of the double stroller when not in use and makes it smaller. Our testers were impressed with the City Select's innovative one-handed fold, although it takes a bit of practice. It's also very agile and responsive, despite its size.

Another affordable option is an option that is affordable is the Cybex Mockingbird Single-to-Double Stroller. It converts from a car seat with a parent seat to a forward-facing toddler seat and the bassinet-style mode is a great choice for infants (although keep in mind that infants under 4 months old should never sleep in strollers because of the risk of asphyxia in a position).

To be more flexible, opt for a convertible that has dual modes such as the iCandy Peach. It's a compact double stroller that can hold two children at the same time. It can also be used to make a tandem by incorporating a second seat kit. It's responsive and agile and our test participants loved its sleek design. It's not quite as lightweight like some of the other models on our list however it does come with a huge basket that's great for parents carrying bags full of toys and food items.

Lightweight

Convertible double strollers are a great option for parents who have children and anticipate to have another. The iCandy Peach can be converted from a single pushchair into amazon double stroller by the addition of a toddler seat, or the brand's carrycot (which is ideal to sleep at night). Our testers were pleased with how comfortable the seats are and loved the fact that can recline in a variety of positions, come with built-in leg and foot supports and generous UPF 50+ canopy that has windows that peek out. The rear seat can also be raised to provide a standing platform for a child to get on and off, so they can reach things in the shopping basket.

The only downside to the iCandy Peach is that it is quite heavy. However, Cher found that it was balanced by the ease to maneuver and how large the storage area is, with two hanging parent and child cup holders with seat-back pockets as well as a large underseat storage basket. Cher also appreciated that the seats can be reversed to be positioned to face each other, which is great for siblings who want to chat and have conversations while 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 twin stroller (humanlove.stream) and has a self-standing fold, making it easy to transport and store in your trunk or at home. Parents are impressed by the quality of materials and workmanship, and the cost. The only downside is that the seats don't recline as much as some other models we've examined and the back seat isn't as well-lit due to its position as it's higher than the front seat.

Another popular option is the Joolz Geo 3, which is slim and sleek. It is also easy to steer, with an attractive design and a lifetime guarantee. It's important to keep in mind that, despite their smaller size, side by side prams are still larger than tandems and in-line doubles. They may be difficult to navigate on busy footpaths or in stores. They are also shorter, making them more maneuverable in tight spaces.
