12 Companies Leading The Way In Double Pram And Pushchair
Choosing a off road double buggy Pram and Pushchair
A good double pram or pushchair will simplify life for families, particularly on busy footpaths or in the shops and stores. Find a model that has ample storage space for nappies, snacks, and other essentials.
Some parents who are first-time parents choose a future-proof pushchair that can be used as a Single To Double Pushchair pram once bub is born and then transformed into a twin-mode once he or she is born. Joolz offers a variety of these options.
Tandem
The announcement that you're expecting a child is among the most exciting events in life. However, after the excitement of the beginning fades and the reality sets in, you may be faced with a myriad of choices regarding how to prepare your family for the arrival of your little one or ones. The best travel double stroller stroller or pram is among the most important considerations.
Tandem prams (also known as "in-line" double prams) are a timeless design with two bassinets or seats for prams arranged side-by-side. The front seat is usually cushioned and reclines to a flat angle, making it suitable for infants while the second one is more upright and can be used by toddlers from around three years old. Certain models feature reversible seating so you can choose whether your children face towards each other or gaze at you. Many tandems 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 price it is cheaper than a twin pushchair and can be an excellent choice for parents looking to save money but not compromising on safety or functionality. A tandem can be heavy and difficult to steer, particularly when negotiating curbs. It is also less stable than twin prams particularly if a larger child is seated in the front. A tandem can be difficult to get onto public transport, and it can be difficult to navigate on narrow pavements.
The iCandy Peach is a popular image-conscious model that's a great choice for a singleton parent who wants something streamlined however the tandem mode can make it feel heavy and long when pushing. It features an innovative frame that can be expanded to accommodate the second seat, and is compatible with many combinations of carrycots, buggy seats and car seats (two at a time or in separate). The iCandy Wave is another lightweight tandem option that's easy to use and compatible with a range of car seats and carrycots.
Side by side
There are a lot of things to take into consideration when selecting a double pushchair or pram. If you're buying for twins or other siblings that are similar in age there are a variety of configuration options to take into account. Tandem prams, referred to as side-by-side prams are popular options because they can be set up so that the infant is able to sit in the bassinet in the middle while the older child or toddler is sitting in the second seat.
Some models even feature convertible seats, which means you can modify the seating to your family's requirements throughout the baby and toddler years. This lets you keep your children always in your sights and also gives them the chance to get to know one another as they walk.
Tandem prams can be jogging buggies or all-terrain buggies. They are ideal for outdoor excursions, such as to the park. They're also a good option when you have to traverse 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 right from birth in the dual mode with the addition of the rumble seat (PS249). You can then change to a single pram mode when your little one gets used to the rumble seat or select the car capsule adaptors (PS53) to transform it into a travel system from infant to toddler.
The Side by Side Pram by Babybee is another option. This double pushchair from birth side-by-side pram comes in a variety of colours and is designed with a modern style. Designed to be used from birth, you can add the LUNA newborn cocoon (PS262) or the LUNA infant seats (PS53 each) to ensure your baby is comfortable and safe.
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 carrycots and infant seats to accommodate twins or siblings with different age ranges. It's also incredibly easy to fold. It's also fairly light and therefore an ideal choice for families who have small cars or only a little storage space.
Convertible
The top double prams and pushchairs are able to be used in multiple ways, and some are even able to change into different seat configurations to suit the changing needs of your family. It is possible to fit two toddlers in the seats or a third child on the seat board and have enough space for a shopping basket and the ability to add accessories such as rain covers is another advantage. Convertible double strollers tend to be larger and heavier than single pushchairs due to the fact that they are designed to accommodate two or more children. The Graco Modes Nest2Grow is one example of an affordable convertible that is extremely easy to use, although our testers thought it was a little heavy for the price.
Some convertible double strollers like the Baby Jogger City Select 2 have a carrycot that is suitable for newborns. This reduces the size of the double stroller when it is not being used and makes it smaller. The City Select's clever single-handed folding impressed our test participants, but it takes some time to master. It is also quite fluid and agile even despite its size.
The Cybex Mockingbird single-to-double stroller is another option that is reasonably priced. It can be transformed from a child-facing car seat to a forward-facing toddler seat. The bassinet-style mode makes it 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 small cheap double buggy buggy that can hold two children in a row, but it can also be used as a tandem, with the addition of a second seat kit and rider board. It feels agile and responsive, and our testers were impressed by its sleek design. It's not quite as lightweight like some of the other models we've reviewed, but it has a large basket that is useful for parents who have to carry bags filled with toys and other items.
Lightweight
Some parents like to future-proof their double pushchair if they have one child and are expecting another, so a convertible option is a good option. The iCandy Peach can be converted from a single pushchair into double to single buggy by the addition of a toddler seat, or the brand's carrycot (which is ideal for sleeping at night). Our testers were pleased with how comfortable the seats are and adore the fact that they both recline to multiple positions, have built-in foot and leg supports and generous UPF 50+ canopy that has peekaboo windows. The rear seat can be raised high to allow the child of a higher age can stand on it to reach the shopping basket.
The only issue with the iCandy Peach is that it is quite heavy, however Cher believed that it was overcome by its ease to manoeuvre and how spacious the storage is equipped with two hanging child and parent cup holders as well as seat-back pockets, and a large underseat storage basket. Cher also loved that the seats can be reversed so that they face each other. This is ideal for siblings who love to chat and have conversations when out and out and about.
A lighter and equally impressive option is the Delta Children LX side-by-side stroller, which 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 love the quality of materials and workmanship, as well as the affordable cost. The only drawback is that the seats don't recline as far as some other models we've examined and the back seat isn't very well-lit due to its positioning as it's higher than the front seats.
Another popular option is the Joolz Geo 3, which is slim and sleek. It is also easy to steer, with an attractive design and a lifetime guarantee. It is important to remember that, despite their slimmer design side by side prams remain more spacious than tandem and in-line doubles. They may be tricky to navigate on busy streets or in shops. However, they're generally smaller, and are easier to maneuver in tight spaces than tandems.
