Choosing a Double Pram and Pushchair
A good double buggy side by side pram or pushchair can simplify life for families, particularly on busy footpaths or in stores and shops. Pick a model with ample storage space to store nappies as well as 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 pram once baby is born. It can be converted into a twin mode after the baby is born. Joolz offers a range of these options.
Tandem
The announcement that you are expecting a child is one of the most exciting events in life. After the excitement wears off and the reality of the situation kicks in, you'll be faced with a variety of decisions regarding how to prepare your family for. The right pram or stroller is among the most important things to consider.
Tandem prams, also known as "in-line" double prams, are a classic style with two bassinets or seats placed side by side. The front seat, which is typically cushioned, reclines flat and is suitable for babies. The second seat is upright and designed to fit toddlers as young as three years. Certain models feature the option of reversible seating, which lets you choose whether your children face one another or look at you. Many tandems have the option of converting into a single pushchair if you decide that your child's oldest doesn't require the second seat.
A tandem is less expensive than a twin Buggy From birth pram and can be a great option for parents who want to save money, without compromising safety or functionality. However, one disadvantage of a tandem is that it can be heavy and long to steer especially when bumping up or down kerbs. Additionally, it is usually less stable than a twin pushchair from birth pushchair, especially if the child with the most weight is sitting in the front. A tandem can also be difficult to transport on public transport and can be difficult to navigate on narrow pavements.
The iCandy Peach is a popular model with a strong image that's a great option for a single parent who wants something streamlined, but the tandem mode can make it feel large and heavy when pushing. It's got frames that can be expanded in width to accommodate the second seat. It can be used with a variety of combinations of car seats, buggy 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
There are a lot of things to consider when choosing a double pushchair or pram. There are many configuration options to choose from, regardless of whether you're buying for twins or close-in-age siblings. Tandem prams, referred to as side-by-side prams are popular options because they can be configured so that the infant can be seated in the bassinet at the top while the toddler or older child is seated in the second seat.
Certain models come with reversible seats that allow you to customize the layout of your family members throughout the toddler and baby years. This lets you keep your kids always in your sights and gives them a chance to get to know each other as they stroll.
Tandem prams are often all-terrain buggies or jogging ones, which means they're ideal for outdoor adventures and in the park. They're also ideal for narrow aisles and checkouts in shops and supermarkets, as they are less bulky.
The Redsbaby JIVE3 pram, for example can be used in tandem mode from birth with the addition of the Rumble seat. (PS249) You can then switch to the single pram mode once your child gets used to the rumble seat, or use the car capsule adaptors (PS53) to transform it into a traveler 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 comes with an elegant modern design. 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.
If you're looking for a sleek, stylish pushchair that converts into a double-sided side-by-side, the Egg 2 from Chicco is a great option. It's available in a range of infant seat and carrycot combinations to cater for twins or siblings of varying age groups. It's also easy to fold. It is also relatively light and compact, making it a great choice for those who have little space in their cars or don't have enough space for storage.
Convertible
The best double prams and pushchairs can be used in a variety of ways and some are capable of changing seat configurations to suit your family's changing needs. You can accommodate up to three children on the seat board or two toddlers in the seats, and still have enough space for a shopping bag. Accessories such as rain covers are also available. In general, convertible double strollers are bigger and heavier than single pushchairs as they are required to be able to hold two or more children. The Graco Modes Nest2Grow convertible is an example of a very affordable convertible that is easy to use. However, our testers considered it to be quite heavy for its price.
Some convertible double strollers, such as the Baby Jogger City Select 2 comes with a carrycot which is suitable for newborns. This reduces the size of the double buggy for twins stroller when it is not in use and makes it more compact. The City Select's clever single-handed folding impressed our testers, but it takes some time to master. It also feels quite nimble and responsive, despite being bigger than double strollers.
Another affordable option is the Cybex Mockingbird Single-to-Double Stroller. It converts from a rear-facing infant car seat to a forward-facing toddler car seat and the bassinet option is a great option for infants (although be aware that babies younger than 4 months old should never use strollers to sleep due to the risk of asphyxia in a position).
If you want more flexibility Consider a convertible that has dual modes like the iCandy Peach. This is a narrow double buggy which can accommodate two children side-by-side and can be used as a tandem, with the addition of a second seat kit and rider board. It's nimble and responsive and our testers loved its sleek design. It's not as light as the other pushchairs on our list, but it offers an ample shopping basket that is great for parents who carry bags full of groceries and toys.
Lightweight
Convertible double strollers are a great option for parents who already have a child and expect another. The iCandy Peach allows you to change from a single pushchair to a double pushchair with the addition of an infant seat or the brand's carrycot (which is suitable for sleeping at night). Our test subjects were impressed by the comfort of the seats and adore the fact that they both recline to different positions, have built-in leg and foot supports and large UPF 50+ canopy with peekaboo windows. The rear seat can also be raised to provide an elevated platform for a child to climb on and off, so that they can reach items in the basket of groceries.
The only issue with the iCandy Peach is that it is quite heavy, however Cher believed that this was balanced by the ease to maneuver and how large the storage space is equipped with two hanging parent and child cup holders, seat-back pockets and a large underseat basket. Cher also liked that seats can be flipped to face each other, which is ideal for siblings who love to chat and have conversations while out and out and about.
The Delta Children LX Side-by-Side Stroller is a lighter option and still impressive. It weighs only 18 pounds, is compact and features self-standing fold, making it easy to carry around or put in your trunk. Parents appreciate the high-quality materials and workmanship, and the low price. The only downsides are that the seats do not recline as much compared to other models we've tested and the rear seat isn't as well-lit because of its position and height. It is higher than the front seat.
Another popular choice is the Joolz Geo 3, which is slim sleek, stylish and easy to steer, and comes with an attractive design and a lifetime guarantee. It's important to keep in mind that despite their narrower design Side by side prams remain wider than tandem and in-line doubles. They can be tricky to navigate on busy footpaths or in stores. However, they're usually smaller, and can be easier to turn in tight spaces than tandems.
