Choosing a Double Pram and Pushchair
A well-designed double pram or pushchair will simplify family life, especially when walking on busy roads or in stores and shops. Pick a model with ample storage space for nappies snacks, nappies, and other essentials.
Some parents who are first-time parents choose an infant pushchair that can be used as a single pram once bub is born and then transformed into a twin-mode when the baby is old enough. Joolz offers a wide range of choices.
Tandem
The news that you're about to have to have a baby is among the most exciting moments in life. After the excitement wears off and the reality of the situation kicks in, you will be faced with a variety of options for how you can prepare your family. One of the most important things to consider is choosing the correct pram or pushchair.
Tandem prams, also referred as "in-line" double prams are a classic style with two bassinets or seats placed side by side. The front seat, which is typically padded, reclines flat and is suitable for infants. The second seat is more upright and is designed to accommodate toddlers as young as 3 years. Some models let you decide if your children will look at each other or look outwards. Many tandems have the option of being converted into a single pushchair if you decide that your child's oldest does not require the second seat.
A tandem is cheaper than twin prams and is an ideal choice for parents who want to save money, but without compromising safety or functionality. A tandem can be a bit heavy and difficult to steer, especially when you're tripping over the kerbs. It's also less stable than twin prams, especially if an older child 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, a popular model with a focus on image, is a fantastic choice for parents with one child who want an elegant design. However the tandem mode can make it feel heavy and long to push. It's got a frame that expands in width to accommodate the 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 variety of car seats and carrycots.
Side by side
There are a lot of things to think about when selecting a double pushchair or pram. Whether you're buying for twins or other siblings that are similar in age there are a variety of configuration choices to think about. Tandem prams (also called side by sides prams) are a popular choice since they can be set up to accommodate infants with a bassinet on top while the older toddler or infant is in the second seat below.
Certain models come with reversible seats which allow you to alter the seating arrangement for your family during the toddler and baby years. This lets you keep your children in sight at all times and gives them a chance to interact with one another as they walk.
Tandem prams are often all-terrain buggies or jogging ones that is why they're great for outdoor adventures and in the park. They're also a great option when you have to traverse 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 starting from birth in the dual mode, with the addition of the rumble seat (PS249). It is then possible to change to a single pram mode once your child grows out of the rumble seat, or use the adaptors for car capsules (PS53) to turn it into a traveler from newborn to toddler.
The Side by Side Pram from Babybee is a different alternative. This double side-byside pram comes in a variety of colours and is designed with a modern design. Designed to be used right from the moment of birth, you can choose to add the LUNA newborn cocoon (PS262) or the LUNA infant seats (PS53 each) to ensure your children are secure and comfortable.
best double strollers is a stylish, sleek pushchair that can be transformed into a double side by side. It's available in a variety of infant and carrycot configurations to accommodate twins or siblings of different age groups. It's also easy to fold. It's also fairly light and therefore an ideal option for those with smaller cars or a limited storage space.
Convertible
Some of the best double prams or pushchairs are set up to meet your changing needs. There is the possibility of fitting two toddlers in the seats or even a third one on the seat board and still have room for a shopping basket, and the option to add additional accessories such as rain covers is a advantage. In general, 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 is one example of an affordable convertible which is very easy to use, although our test subjects felt it was a bit heavy for the money.
Some convertible double strollers like the Baby Jogger City Select 2 comes with a carrycot that is suitable for infants. This reduces the size of the double stroller when it is not being used and makes it smaller. The City Select's innovative folding system that is one-handed impressed our test participants, but it takes some time to master. It's also very responsive and nimble, despite its size.
The Cybex Mockingbird single-to-double stroller is another affordable option. The seat converts from a rear-facing infant car seat to a forward-facing toddler car seat, and the bassinet mode is a fantastic option for infants (although remember that babies under 4 months old should never sleep in strollers because of the danger of asphyxia from position).
To be more flexible, opt for a convertible that has dual modes such as the iCandy Peach. This is a narrow double stroller that is able to accommodate two children at the same time. It can also be used to create a tandem by adding a second seating kit. It's nimble and responsive and our test participants loved its sleek design. It's not quite as lightweight as the other models on our list, but it has a large basket that's great for parents carrying bags filled with toys and other items.
Lightweight
Some parents like to future-proof their double buggy if they have one child and are expecting another, so a convertible option is a good option. The iCandy Peach allows you to transform from a single to a double pushchair by the addition of either an infant seat or the brand's carrycot (which is suitable for sleeping at night). Our test subjects were impressed by how comfortable the seats are and loved the fact that they both recline to multiple positions, have built-in leg and foot support and have UPF 50+ canopies with windows that peek out. The rear seat can be raised high so that the child who is older can stand on it to reach the basket of shopping.
The only issue with the iCandy Peach is that it is quite heavy, however Cher believed that this was offset by how easy it is to maneuver and how large the storage area is equipped with two hanging child and parent cup holders as well as seat-back pockets, and a large underseat basket. She also liked the fact that the seats are convertible, which means they can be positioned to face one another for siblings that want to talk and interact when out and out and about.
The Delta Children LX Side-by-Side Stroller is a less heavy option and still impressive. It weighs only 18 pounds, is lightweight and features a self standing fold, making it simple to transport or put in your trunk. Parents love the quality of materials and workmanship, as well as the cost. The only drawback is that the seats don't recline as far as the other models we've tried and the rear seat isn't very well-lit because of its position as it's higher than the front seat.
The Joolz Geo 3 is another popular option. It's slim, sleek, easy to steer and has a lifetime warranty. Although they are smaller, side-by-side prams can still be larger than tandems and inline doubles. This makes them difficult to maneuver around busy footpaths and in shops. They're also shorter which makes them easier to maneuver in tight spaces.
