Choosing a Double Pram and Pushchair A double pram can make life easier for families, particularly in bustling stores or on busy streets. Choose a model that has ample storage space for nappies snacks, nappies, and other necessities. Some parents who are new to the world choose a pushchair that is future-proof and can be used both as a single stroller when baby is born, and later converted to a twin mode after he or she arrives. Joolz offers a wide range of choices. Tandem The announcement that you're expecting the birth of a child is one of the most exciting events in your life. But, once the excitement fades and reality begins to sink in, you may be faced with a variety of choices regarding how to prepare your family for the arrival of your little one or ones. The best stroller or pram is among the most important things to consider. Tandem prams (also known as 'in-line' double prams) are a classic design that feature two seats or pram bassinets that are arranged side by side. The front seat is usually covered in padding and reclines to a flat position making it suitable for infants while the second one is more upright and can be used by toddlers from around three years older. Some models let you choose whether your children look at each other or look outwards. A lot of tandems offer the option of being converted into a single pushchair in the event that you decide your oldest child does not require the second seat. In terms of price it is cheaper than a twin pushchair, and can be an excellent choice for parents who want to save money without compromising on safety or function. A tandem can be a bit heavy and difficult to steer, especially when negotiating curbs. It's also less stable than twin prams especially when a bigger child is riding in 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 with a focus on image, is a fantastic choice for parents with one child who want an elegant style. 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 accommodate the second seat, and it is compatible with many combinations of buggy seats, carrycots and car seats (two at a time or in separate). The iCandy Wave tandem is another lightweight option that's user-friendly and compatible with a variety of car seats or carrycots. Side by side There are many aspects to consider when choosing a double pushchair or pram. There are many configuration options to choose from, 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 arranged to accommodate infants in a bassinet at the top while the older toddler or infant is in the lower seat below. Some models even have reversible seats, which means you can modify the seating to suit your family's needs throughout the baby and toddler years. This lets you see your children at all times and gives them the chance to connect with them as they walk. Tandem prams are jogging buggies as well as all-terrain buggies. They are ideal for trips outdoors, such as to the park. They're also a good option if you need to brave narrow checkout aisles or isles in supermarkets, as they are generally more compact than single-seaters. The Redsbaby JIVE3 Pram, for instance, can be used as a tandem pram right from birth in the dual mode, with the addition of the rumble seat (PS249). Then, you can switch to the single pram mode once your child gets used to the rumble seat, or use the car capsule adaptors (PS53) to transform it into a travel system from newborn to toddler. The Side by Side Pram by Babybee is another alternative. This double side-byside pram comes in a variety of colors and is designed with a contemporary design. Designed to be used right from birth, you can also include the LUNA Cocoon for newborns (PS262) and the LUNA Infant Seats (PS53 each). The Egg 2 is a stylish, sleek pushchair that is able to be converted into a double side by side. second hand double buggy in a range of carrycot and infant seat combinations to accommodate twins or siblings of various age groups. It's also easy to fold. It's also relatively lightweight and therefore an ideal choice for families with small cars or limited storage space. Convertible The top double prams and pushchairs can be used in a variety of ways and some are able to change into different seating configurations to meet your changing family needs. There is the possibility of fitting two toddlers in seats or a third child on the seat board and still have enough space for a shopping basket, and the ability to add additional accessories such as rain covers is a advantage. Most convertible double strollers are more spacious and heavier than single pushchairs due to the fact that they have to be able to accommodate 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 a bit heavy for the money. Some convertible double strollers, such as the Baby Jogger City Select 2 has a carrycot option which is suitable for newborns. This allows the double stroller to be compacted and reduced in size when it is not used. The City Select's innovative single-handed folding impressed our test participants but it does require some time to master. It also feels quite nimble and responsive, despite it being bigger than double strollers. The Cybex Mockingbird single-to-double stroller is another option that is reasonably priced. It can be converted from a car seat with a parent seat to a forward-facing toddler seat and the bassinet-style mode is a great option for infants (although keep in mind that infants under 4 months old should never be able to sleep in strollers due to the risk of asphyxia in a position). If you're looking for more flexibility, consider a dual-mode convertible such as the iCandy Peach. It's a slim double stroller that can hold two children side-by-side. It can be used to create a tandem by adding a second seating kit. It feels fluid and responsive, and our test users loved its sleek design. It's not as light as the other pushchairs on our list however it does come with an ample shopping basket that is handy for parents carrying bags of groceries and toys. Lightweight Some parents like to future-proof their double pushchair if they have one child and are expecting another and a convertible model is a great option. 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 is ideal to sleep at night). Our testers noted the comfort of the seats and adore the fact that they both recline to multiple positions, feature built-in leg and foot support and have UPF 50+ canopies with windows that peek out. The rear seat can be lifted high to offer a standing platform for the older child to climb off and on, so they can reach items in the basket of groceries. Cher said that the only disadvantage of the iCandy Peach was its weight. But she felt this was offset by the fact that it's easy to move and comes with plenty of storage space with two cup holders for parents and their children seats-back pockets, as well as a large basket under the seat. She also appreciated the seat's design, which is adjustable, meaning they can be positioned to face each other for siblings who wish to chat and interact together while out and about. A lighter, but equally impressive choice is the Delta Children LX side-by-side stroller that weighs only 18 lbs. It is compact and has an auto-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 affordable price. The only issue is that the seats don't recline as far as some other models we've tested and the rear seat isn't very well-lit because of its position 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 appealing design and a lifetime guarantee. It's important to keep in mind that despite their narrower design, side by side prams are wider than tandem and in-line doubles. They may be difficult to navigate on crowded footpaths or in shops. They are also smaller which makes them more maneuverable in tight spaces.
