Choosing a Double Pram and Pushchair

A good double pram or pushchair will simplify life for families, particularly on busy streets or in shops and stores. Select a model that offers plenty of storage space to store nappies as well as snacks and other essentials.

Some first-time parents choose a future-proof pushchair which can be used both as a single stroller when baby is born, and later transformed into a twin pushchairs-mode when the baby is born. Joolz offers a range of options.

Tandem

The announcement that you're expecting a child is among life's most exciting moments. After the excitement wears off and the reality of the situation kicks in, you will be faced with many options for how to prepare your family. One of the most important considerations is choosing the right pram or pushchair.

Tandem prams (also called "in-line" double prams) are a classic design that have two bassinets or seats for prams arranged side-by-side. The front seat, which is typically padded, reclines flat and is suitable for newborns. The second seat is upright and designed to fit toddlers as young as 3 years. Some models come with the option of reversible seating, which lets you choose to have your children face one another or look at you. A lot of tandems offer the option to convert into a single pushchair if you decide your oldest child doesn't require the second seat.

In terms of cost the tandem is cheaper than a twin pushchair, and can be a great choice for parents who want to save money but not compromising on safety or function. However, the drawback of a tandem is that it may feel long and heavy to steer especially when moving up and down kerbs, and it is generally less stable than a twin pushchair, especially if the child who is older is seated in the front. A tandem can also be tricky to transport on public transport and is difficult to navigate on narrow pavements.

The iCandy Peach is a popular model that is a good choice for a singleton parent looking for a sleeker design however the tandem mode can make it feel heavy and long when pushing. It's got frames that can be expanded in size to accommodate a second seat. It can be used with a variety of combinations of buggy seats, car seats and carrycots (two at simultaneously or separately). The iCandy Wave is another lightweight tandem option that's simple to use and compatible with a range of car seats and carrycots.

Side by side

When it comes time to choose a double pushchair or pram there's plenty to think about. There are numerous configuration options available, whether you're purchasing for twins or close-in-age siblings. Tandem prams, also referred to as side-by-side prams, are popular choices because they can be set up in a way that the infant can be seated in the bassinet at the top while the older child or toddler is sitting in the second hand double buggy chair.

Some models come with convertible seats, which means you can modify the seating to meet the needs of your family throughout the baby and toddler 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 as they stroll.

Tandem prams can be jogging buggies, or all-terrain buggies. They are great for outdoor excursions, like to the park. They're also a good choice for those who have to navigate narrow checkout aisles or isles in supermarkets as they are generally smaller than single-seaters.

(PS249) Then, you can switch to the single mode once your baby is old enough to leave the rumble seat or select the adaptors for car capsules (PS53) to turn it into a traveler from newborn to toddler.

Typically, convertible double strollers are more spacious and heavier than single pushchairs as they have to be capable of holding two or more children. The Graco Modes Nest2Grow convertible is an example of a very affordable convertible that is simple to use. However, our test participants thought it was quite heavy for the money.

Some convertible double strollers, like the Baby Jogger City Select 2 comes with a carrycot which is suitable for newborns. This allows the double stroller to be compacted and reduce in size when not being used. The City Select's innovative, one-handed folding impressed our testers, but it takes some time to master. It's also very nimble and responsive, despite it being bigger than other double umbrella stroller strollers.

The Cybex Mockingbird single-to-double stroller is another affordable option. It converts from a car seat with a parent seat to a forward-facing toddler car 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 positional asphyxia).

For more flexibility, look for a dual-mode convertible such as the iCandy Peach. This is a narrow Double buggy - www.google.co.bw, which can accommodate two children in a row and can be used as a tandem by the addition of a second seat kit and rider board.

The seats are very comfortable and our testers appreciate that they can be reclined in multiple positions. They also like the fact that the canopy has an open window that can be seen from afar and has UPF 50+ protection. The rear seat can also be raised to provide an elevated platform for the older child to climb on and off, so they can reach things in the basket of groceries.

Cher said that the one negative aspect of the iCandy Peach was its weight. However, she believed this was offset because it is easy to move and comes with plenty of storage space and 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 out and out and about.

A lighter, but equally impressive choice is the Delta Children LX side-by-side stroller that weighs only 18 lbs, is super compact and has a self-standing fold, making it easy to carry and store in your trunk or at home. Parents are impressed by the quality of the materials and craftsmanship as well as the price is low. The only drawbacks are that the seats do not recline as much as other models we have tested and the rear seat is not as well-lit because of its position - it is raised higher than the seat in front.

The Joolz Geo 3 is another popular option. It's slim, sleek, easy to steer and comes with an unbeatable lifetime warranty.
