Choosing a Double Pram and Pushchair

A double buggy side by side pram can simplify life for families, particularly in bustling stores or on busy streets. Look for a model with ample storage space to store nappies, snacks, and other essentials.

Some first-time parents opt for a future-proof pushchair that can be used as a single pram once baby is born. It can be transformed into a twin-mode once he or she is old enough. Joolz provides a variety of these options.

Tandem

The announcement that you are expecting a child is among life's most exciting moments. However, after the initial excitement wears off and reality sinks in, you may be faced with a myriad of decisions regarding how to prepare your family for the arrival of your baby one or ones. The proper stroller or pram is among the most important considerations.

Tandem prams (also known as 'in-line' double prams) are a timeless design that feature 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 is able to accommodate toddlers from around three years older. Certain models let you choose whether your children look at each other or look outwards. Many tandems also have the option to convert into a single pushchair when you decide your oldest child no longer needs the second seat.

In terms of price the tandem is cheaper than a twin pushchair and can be a great choice for parents looking to save money but not compromising on safety or function. A tandem can be heavy and difficult to steer, especially when you're tripping over the kerbs. It's also less stable than twin pushchairs, especially if an older child is riding in the front. A tandem can be difficult to transport on public transport, and it 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 looking for a sleeker design however the tandem mode can make it feel large and heavy when pushing. It comes with a clever frame that expands widthways to allow for the addition of the second seat, and is compatible with many combinations of carrycots, buggy seats and car seats (two at once or separately). The iCandy Wave tandem is another lightweight option that is easy to use and compatible with a variety of car seats and carrycots.

Side by side

When it comes to choosing a double pushchair or pram there's a lot to think about. There are numerous configuration options to choose from, whether you're buying for twins or close-in-age siblings. Tandem prams, referred to as side-by-side prams, are a popular choices because they can be set up in a way that the infant can sit in the bassinet in the middle while the older child or toddler is sitting in the second seat.

Some models even feature seats that can be reversible, meaning you can adapt the configuration to your family's requirements throughout the toddler and baby years. This allows you to keep your kids always in your sights and gives them a an opportunity to interact with one another as they walk.

Tandem prams can be jogging buggies or all-terrain buggies. They are perfect for outdoor excursions, such as to the park. They are also great for narrow aisles and checkouts in supermarkets and shops because they are less bulky.

The Redsbaby JIVE3 Pram, for example, can be used as a tandem pram right from birth in dual mode, with the addition of the rumble seat (PS249). Then, you can change to a single pram mode once your baby is old enough to leave the rumble seat, or use the car capsule adaptors (PS53) to turn it into a traveler from newborn to toddler.

Another alternative is the Side by Side Pram from Babybee. This side-by-side double pram is available in a range of colors and features an attractive modern style. The design is intended to be used right from birth, you can add the LUNA newborn cocoon (PS262) or the LUNA infant seats (PS53 each) to ensure your little ones are comfortable and safe.

It is available in a variety of carrycots and infant seats to accommodate twins or siblings of different age groups. It's also easy to collapse. It's also lightweight and compact, making it a great choice for those who have little space in their cars or don't have enough space for storage.

Convertible

Some of the best Double Strollers For Infant And Toddler prams or pushchairs can be made into various seats to accommodate your changing needs. There is the possibility of fitting two toddlers in a seat or even a third one on the seat board and 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 tend to be larger and heavier 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 a very affordable convertible that is easy to use. However, our testers found it to be a bit heavy for the money.

Some convertible double seat stroller strollers double like the Baby Jogger City Select 2 have a carrycot that is suitable for infants. 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 unique one-handed fold, though it takes some practice. It's also very responsive and nimble even despite its size.

Another affordable option is an option that is affordable is the Cybex Mockingbird Single-to-double single pushchair Stroller. It converts from a parent-facing infant car seat to a forward-facing toddler seat and the bassinet-style mode is a great option for infants (although remember that babies under four months old shouldn't be able to sleep in strollers due to the risk of asphyxia in a position).

If you want more flexibility, consider a dual-mode convertible such as the iCandy Peach. It's a slim double stroller that can accommodate two children in a tandem. It can also be used to create a tandem by adding a second seat kit. It is agile and agile, and our testers loved its sleek design. It's not as light like some of the other models on our list, but it comes with a big basket that is useful for parents who are carrying bags of toys and other items.

Lightweight

Some parents prefer to secure their double buggy when they have a child and are expecting another so a convertible option is a good option. The iCandy Peach can be converted from a single pushchair into a small double stroller with the addition of a toddler's seat or the brand's carrycot (which is great for overnight sleeping). The seats are very comfortable and our test subjects love the fact that they can recline in multiple positions. They also love the feature that the canopy comes with an open window that can be seen from afar and has UPF 50+ protection. The rear seat can be raised to provide an elevated platform for a child to get off and on so they can reach things in the basket of groceries.

Cher said that the one downside of the iCandy Peach was its weight. But she felt this was offset by the fact that it's easy to move and offers plenty of storage space with two cup holders for children and parents as well as seat-back pockets and an enormous basket underneath the seat. Cher also appreciated the feature that the seats are convertible, which means they can be set to face each other for siblings that want to talk and interact when out and out and about.

A lighter-weight but just as impressive option is the Delta Children LX side-by-side stroller that weighs only 18 lbs, is super compact and has a self-standing fold that makes it easy to carry and store in your trunk or at home. Parents appreciate the quality of the materials and workmanship and the price is low. The only drawback is that the seats don't recline as much as other models we've tried, and the rear seat isn't as well-lit due to its positioning - it's raised 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. While they're smaller than side-by-side strollers, they can be more spacious than tandems and inline doubles. This can make them difficult to maneuver on busy streets and in shops. However, they are often smaller, and are easier to maneuver in tight spaces than tandems.
