Choosing a Double Pram and Pushchair

A double pram can simplify life for families, particularly in busy shopping centers or on busy streets. Pick a model with plenty of storage space to store nappies, snacks, and other necessities.

Some parents who are new to the family opt for a future proof pushchair that can be used as a single stroller when baby is born, and later converted into a twin buggy mode after the baby has arrived. Joolz offers a variety of these options.

Tandem

The news that you're expecting the birth of a child is one of the most exciting moments in your life. When the excitement wears off and the reality of the situation kicks in, you will be faced with many decisions regarding how to prepare your family. The best stroller or pram is one of the most important considerations.

Tandem prams (also known as 'in-line' double prams) are a classic style that have two seats or pram bassinets that are arranged side-by-side. The front seat is typically cushioned and reclines to a flat position making it suitable for newborns while the second one is more upright and can accommodate toddlers from around three years of age. Certain models let you choose whether your children look at each other or outwards. A lot of tandems offer the option to convert into a single pushchair if you decide that your child's oldest no longer needs the second seat.

In terms of cost the tandem is cheaper than a twin pushchair, and is a great option for parents who want to save money but not compromising on safety or function. A tandem can be a bit heavy and difficult to steer, particularly when negotiating curbs. It's also less stable than twin pushchairs particularly if a larger child is seated in the front. A tandem can also be tricky to get onto public transport and is difficult to navigate on narrow pavements.

The iCandy Peach is a popular model that is a good choice for a single parent who wants something streamlined however the tandem mode can make it feel long and heavy when pushing. It comes with a frame that expands in size to accommodate a second seat. It can be used with a range of combinations of car seats, buggy seats, and carrycots (two at a time or separately). The iCandy Wave is another lightweight tandem option that's easy to use and compatible with a variety of carrycots and car seats.

Side by side

There are many aspects to take into consideration when selecting a double pram or pushchair. If you're buying for twins or siblings who are close in age, there are a number of configuration options to consider. Tandem prams, referred to as side-by-side prams, are popular choices because they can be set up in a way that the infant is able to sit in the bassinet in the middle while the toddler or older child is sitting in the second seat.

Some models have reversible seats that let you customize the configuration for your family during the toddler and baby years. This will allow you to keep your little ones 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're also a good choice for those who have to navigate narrow checkout aisles or isles in supermarkets because they're generally more compact than single-seaters.

The Redsbaby JIVE3 Pram, for instance, can be used as a tandem pram from birth in the dual mode with the addition of the rumble seat (PS249). When your child grows out of the rumble chair you can change to a single pram mode. You can also opt to use the adaptors for car capsules to transform it from a newborn to a toddler travel system.

Another option is the Side by Side Pram from Babybee. This side-by-side double pram is available in a variety of colours and has an attractive modern style. Designed to be used right from the moment of birth, you can include the LUNA newborn Cocoon (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. It's available in a variety of infant seat and carrycot configurations to accommodate twins or siblings of various age groups. It's also easy to fold. It is also relatively lightweight and compact, making it a great option for those with smaller vehicles or have limited space for storage.

Convertible

The top double travel buggy prams and pushchairs can be used in a variety of ways, and some are even able to change into different seating configurations to meet your changing family needs. You can accommodate up to three children on the seat board, or two toddlers in the seats and still have enough space to carry shopping bags. Accessories such as rain covers are also available. Convertible double strollers are generally heavier and bulkier than single pushchairs, as they are designed to accommodate two or more children. The Graco Modes Nest2Grow convertible is an example of a very affordable convertible that is easy to use. However, our test participants thought it was quite heavy for its price.

Some double strollers that convert into convertibles, such as 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 it is not being used and makes it more compact. Our testers were impressed with the City Select's unique one-handed fold, although it does take a bit of practice. It is also quite responsive and nimble, despite its size.

The Cybex Mockingbird single-to-double buggy newborn stroller is an alternative that is affordable. It converts from a car seat with a parent seat to a forward-facing toddler seat and the bassinet option is a great choice for infants (although be aware that babies younger than 4 months old should never sleep in strollers because of the risk of asphyxia in a position).

If you want more flexibility look into a convertible with dual modes such as 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 adding a second seating kit. It's agile and responsive, and our test users loved its sleek design. It's not quite as lightweight like some of the other models on our list, but it comes with a big basket that's ideal for parents who have to carry bags of toys and food items.

lightweight double buggy

Some parents prefer to secure their double buggy when they have one child and are expecting another so a convertible option is an excellent choice. The iCandy Peach can be converted from a single pushchair into double by the addition of a toddler seat, or the brand's carrycot (which is great for sleeping at night). Our test subjects were impressed by the comfort of the seats and loved the fact that can recline in a variety of positions, come with built-in foot and leg supports and generous UPF 50+ canopies with peekaboo windows. The rear seat can be raised so that the older child can stand on it to reach the shopping basket.

The only downside to the iCandy Peach is that it is quite heavy, however Cher believed that this was offset by the ease to manoeuvre and how spacious the storage space is with two hanging child and parent cup holders as well as seat-back pockets, and a large underseat storage basket. She also liked the feature that the seats are reversible, so they can be placed to face one another for siblings that want to talk and get together when out and about.

The Delta Children LX Side-by-Side Stroller is a lighter option, but still impressive. It weighs just 18 pounds, is small and features self-standing fold, making it simple to carry around or put in your trunk. Parents love the quality of materials and workmanship, as well as the affordable cost. The only downside is that the seats don't recline as far as other models we've tried, and the rear seat isn't very well-lit because of its position - it's raised higher than the front seats.

Another popular option is the Joolz Geo 3, which is slim and sleek. It is also easy to steer, and comes with an appealing design and a lifetime guarantee. While they're smaller than side-by-side strollers, they can be larger than tandems and inline doubles. This can make them difficult to maneuver on busy streets and in shops. They're also shorter which makes them more maneuverable in tight spaces.
