Some parents who are new to the family opt for an infant pushchair that can be used as a single pram when bub is born and then converted into a twin mode when the baby is born. Joolz offers a range of options.

Tandem

The announcement that you're expecting a baby is among life's most exciting experiences. However, after the excitement of the beginning fades and reality sinks in, you may be faced with a myriad of decisions about how to prepare your family for the arrival of your new one or ones. One of the most important aspects to consider is choosing the correct pram or pushchair.

Tandem prams, also known as "in-line" double prams are a classic style with two seats or bassinets placed side by side. The front seat, which is usually cushioned, reclines and is suitable for babies. The second seat is upright and designed to accommodate toddlers as young as three years old. Some models have reversible seating so you can choose to have your children face towards each other or gaze at you. Many tandems can be converted into one pushchair when your oldest child is no longer using the second seat.

In terms of cost, a tandem is much cheaper than a twin pushchair, and can be a great choice for parents who want to save money without compromising on safety or convenience. However, the drawback of a tandem is that it could be heavy and long to steer, particularly when going up or down kerbs. Additionally, it is usually less stable than a twin pushchair, particularly if the older child is seated in the front. A tandem isn't always easy to fit on public transport, and it can be difficult to navigate narrow roads.

The iCandy Peach, a popular model that focuses on image, is a fantastic option for parents who are single and want a sleeker appearance. However the tandem mode makes it feel long and heavy to push. It comes with an expanded frame that increases in dimensions to accommodate the second seat. It can be used with a range of combinations of buggy seats, car seats, and carrycots (two at one time or in separate). The iCandy Wave is another lightweight tandem option that's easy to use and compatible with a range of carrycots and car seats.

Side by side

If you're buying a double pram for twins or siblings who are close in age there are plenty of configuration options to take into account. Tandem prams (also known as side by side prams) are popular choices as they can be arranged to accommodate infants in a bassinet at the top while the older infant or toddler sits in the second seat below.

Some models even have reversible seats, which means you can alter the seating arrangement to meet the needs of your family throughout the baby and toddler years. This allows you to see your children at all times, and allows them to interact when they walk.

Tandem prams can be jogging buggies, or all-terrain buggies. They are perfect for trips outdoors, such as to the park. They're also a good option if you need to brave narrow aisles in the supermarket or at checkouts as they're generally smaller than single-seaters.

If your child is no longer a member of the rumble chair, you can change to the single pram mode. You can also opt to use the car capsule adaptors to transform it from a newborn to toddler travel system.

The Side by Side Pram from Babybee is a different option. This side-by-side double pram is available in a variety of colours and has an attractive modern style.

Some of the top double pushchairs or prams can be made into various seats to meet your changing needs.

In general, convertible double strollers are larger and heavier than single pushchairs Double as they have to be capable of holding two or more children. The Graco Modes Nest2Grow convertible is an example of an inexpensive convertible that is very easy to use. However, our test participants thought it was somewhat heavy for its price.

Some convertible double strollers like the Baby Jogger City Select 2, have a carrycot option that is suitable for infants. This helps to reduce the size of the double buggy converts to single stroller when not in use, and makes it smaller. The City Select's innovative, one-handed folding impressed our test participants, but it takes some time to master. It's also very nimble and responsive, despite being bigger than other double strollers.

The Cybex Mockingbird single-to-double stroller is an alternative that is affordable. The seat can be converted from a parent-facing infant car seat to a forward-facing toddler seat. The bassinet mode makes it a great option for infants.

If you want more flexibility, consider a dual-mode convertible like the iCandy Peach. It's a slim double stroller that is able to accommodate two children at the same time. It can also be used to make a tandem by incorporating a second seat kit. It's nimble and responsive and our testers loved its sleek design. It's not as lightweight like some of the other models on our list, however it does come with a huge basket that's ideal for parents who are carrying bags filled with toys and groceries.

The iCandy Peach can be converted from a single pushchair a cheap double pushchair with the addition of a toddler's seat, or the brand's carrycot (which is ideal for overnight sleeping). Our testers noted how comfortable the seats are and loved the fact that they both recline to different positions, have built-in leg and foot supports and have UPF 50+ canopy with windows that peek out.

The only issue with the iCandy Peach is that it is quite heavy. However, Cher believed that it was balanced by its ease to manoeuvre and how spacious the storage space is equipped with two hanging child and parent cup holders, seat-back pockets and an enormous underseat basket. Cher also appreciated that the seats can be turned so that they can be positioned to face each other, which is perfect for siblings who love to interact and talk when they are out and out and about.

The Delta Children LX Side-by-Side Stroller is a less heavy option, but still impressive. It weighs just 18 pounds, is compact, and has a self standing fold, making it simple to carry around or put in your trunk. Parents appreciate the high-quality materials and workmanship, and the low price. 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 prominent because of its position as it is higher than the first seat.

The Joolz Geo 3 is another popular choice. It is slim, sleek, easy to steer and comes with a lifetime guarantee. While they're smaller than side-by-side strollers, they can be wider than tandems and inline doubles. This makes them difficult to maneuver on busy streets and in shops. They are also smaller and therefore easier to maneuver in tight spaces.
