Choosing a Double Pram and Pushchair A double pram can simplify life for families, particularly in busy shopping centers or on busy streets. Find a model that has generous storage space for stowing nappies, snacks, and other essentials. Some parents who are new to the family opt for a future-proof pushchair that can be used as a single pram once baby is born, and later transformed into a twin-mode after the baby is born. Joolz provides a variety of these options. Tandem The news that you're about to have the birth of a child is one of the most exciting events in life. However, once the initial excitement wears off and reality sinks into your life, you'll be faced with a multitude of decisions about how to prepare your family for the arrival of your new one or one. The right pram or stroller is one of the most crucial considerations. Tandem prams, also referred to as “in-line” double prams are a classic design with two seats or bassinets placed side-by-side. The front seat, which is typically cushioned, reclines flat and is suitable for newborns. The second seat is upright and designed to fit toddlers as young as three years. Some models come with reversible seating so you can choose whether your children face towards each other or gaze at you. Many tandems also have the option of being converted into a single pushchair when you decide your oldest child doesn't require the second seat. In terms of cost it is cheaper than a twin pushchair, and is a great option for parents looking to save money, but not compromise on safety or convenience. A tandem can be heavy and difficult to steer, especially when you're tripping over the kerbs. It is also less stable than twin prams especially when a bigger child is seated in the front. A tandem can be difficult to get onto public transport and can be difficult to maneuver on narrow roads. The iCandy Peach, a popular model that focuses on image, is an excellent choice for a single parent who wants a sleeker appearance. However the tandem mode can make it feel long and heavy to push. It comes with a clever frame that can be expanded to accommodate the second seat, and it can be used with a variety of combinations of carrycots, buggy seats and car seats (two at a time or separately). The iCandy Wave tandem is another lightweight option that's user-friendly and compatible with a range of car seats or carrycots. Side by side There are a lot of things to consider when choosing a double pushchair or pram. There are numerous configuration options to choose from, whether you're buying for twins or close-in-age siblings. Tandem prams (also known as side by side prams) are a popular choice because they can be configured to accommodate infants in a bassinet at the top, while the larger toddler or infant is in the second seat below. Some models have reversible seating that allow you to customize the layout of your family members throughout the infant and toddler years. This lets you see your children at all times and allows them to be a part of the journey 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 choice when you have to traverse narrow checkout aisles or isles in supermarkets as they tend to be more compact than single-seaters. double buggy that converts to single , for example can be utilized in tandem mode from birth with the addition of a rumble seat. (PS249) You can then switch to the single pram mode when your little one gets used to the rumble seat, or use the adaptors for car capsules (PS53) to turn it into a travel system from newborn to toddler. Another alternative is the Side by Side Pram from Babybee. The side-by-side double pram is available in a range of colors and features an attractive modern style. Designed to be used from birth, you can also add the LUNA newborn cocoon (PS262) or the LUNA infant seats (PS53 each) to ensure that your baby is safe and comfy. The Egg 2 is a stylish elegant pushchair that can be transformed into a double side-byside. It's available in a variety of carrycots and infant seats to accommodate twins or siblings of different age ranges. It's also incredibly easy to fold. It's also relatively lightweight, which makes it an ideal option for those with smaller cars or a limited storage space. Convertible The best double prams and pushchairs are versatile, and some are even capable of changing 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 with room for 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 is one example of an affordable convertible that is user-friendly, but our test subjects felt it was a little heavy for the price. Some double strollers that convert into convertibles, such as the Baby Jogger City Select 2 include a carrycot suitable for infants. This allows the double stroller to be folded down and reduced in size when not used. The City Select's clever folding system that is one-handed impressed our test participants however it requires some time to master. It's also extremely fluid and agile even despite its size. Another option that is reasonably priced is an affordable option is the Cybex Mockingbird Single-to-Double Stroller. The seat can be transformed from a child-facing car seat to an forward-facing toddler seat. The bassinet feature is a great option for infants. If you're looking to expand your options, consider a dual-mode convertible like the iCandy Peach. It's a compact double stroller that can accommodate two children side-by-side. It can also be used to create a tandem by adding a second seat kit. It's nimble and responsive and our test participants loved its sleek design. It's not as light as some of the other pushchairs we've reviewed however it does come with a large shopping basket which is handy for parents carrying bags full of toys and groceries. Lightweight Convertible double strollers are an excellent alternative for parents who have children and anticipate to have another. The iCandy Peach can be converted from a single pushchair double with the addition of a toddler seat or the brand's carrycot (which is ideal to sleep at night). The seats are extremely comfortable and our testers love that they can recline in a variety of 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 elevated to provide a an elevated platform for the child to climb off and on, so they can reach things in the shopping basket. Cher said that the one downside of the iCandy Peach was its weight. But double buggy converts to single felt that this was compensated for because it's easy to move and has plenty of storage and cup holders for children and parents as well as seat-back pockets and a large basket underneath the seat. Cher also loved that the seats can be reversed so that they can face each other. This is ideal for siblings who like to chat and have conversations when they are out and out and about. The Delta Children LX Side-by-Side Stroller is a lighter option and still impressive. It weighs just 18 pounds, is lightweight, and has an auto-standing fold, making it easy to carry around or put in your trunk. Parents appreciate the high-quality materials and workmanship, and the price. The only downsides are that the seats don't recline as well as other models we've tried and the rear seat isn't as visible because of its position as it is higher than the seat in front. The Joolz Geo 3 is another popular option. It's slim, sleek and easy to steer and comes with a lifetime warranty. It's worth bearing in mind that, despite their smaller size side by side prams are still larger than tandems and in-line doubles and can be difficult to navigate on busy streets or in shops. They're also shorter which makes them more maneuverable in tight spaces.
