Choosing a Double Pram and Pushchair A well-designed double pram or pushchair can simplify family life, especially when walking on busy roads or in the shops and stores. Look for a model with generous storage space for stowing nappies, snacks and other essentials. Some parents who are first-time parents choose a future proof pushchair that can be used as a single pram once bub is born and then changed into a twin mode when the baby is born. Joolz has a variety of choices. Tandem The announcement that you are expecting a child is among the most exciting events in life. After double pram pushchair wears off and the reality of the situation sets in, you'll be faced with many decisions regarding how to prepare your family for. The right pram or stroller is among the most important things to consider. Tandem prams, also referred as “in-line” double prams are a classic design that has two seats or bassinets placed side by side. The front seat, which is typically padded, reclines flat and is suitable for babies. The second seat is more upright and designed to accommodate toddlers as young as three years. Some models come with the option of reversible seating, which lets you decide if your children face each other or look out at you. Many tandems can be converted into one pushchair when your oldest child is no longer in need of the second seat. A tandem is cheaper than a twin pram and can be a great option for parents looking to save money, without having to sacrifice safety or functional. However, the drawback of a tandem is that it may be heavy and long to steer especially when going up or down kerbs, and it is often less stable than a twin pram especially if the child with the most weight 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 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 quite heavy and long when pushing. It comes with an innovative frame that can be expanded to accommodate the second seat, and can be used with a variety of combinations of carrycots, buggy chairs and car seats (two at a time or separately). The iCandy Wave tandem is another lightweight option that is easy to use and compatible with a range of car seats or carrycots. Side by side When it comes time to choose a double pushchair or pram, there's a lot to think about. Whether you're buying for twins or siblings close in age, there are a number of configuration choices to think about. Tandem prams, also known as side-by-side prams, are a popular choices due to the fact that they can be set up in a way that the infant can sit in the bassinet at the top while the older child or toddler is sitting in the second chair. Some models have reversible seating that let you customize the layout of your family members throughout the infant and toddler years. This allows you to keep your children always in your sights and gives them a chance to interact with each other as they stroll. Tandem prams are often jogging or all-terrain buggies which makes them ideal for outdoor adventures and the park. They are also great for narrow aisles and checkouts in shops and supermarkets, as they are more compact. The Redsbaby JIVE3 pram, for example, can be used in tandem mode from birth, but with the addition of a rumble seat. (PS249) If your child is no longer a member of the rumble chair, you can switch to a single pram mode. You can also choose to use the car capsule adaptors to transform it from a newborn to a toddler travel system. The Side by Side Pram made by Babybee is another option. This side-by-side double pram is available in a variety of colours and has an elegant modern design. Designed to be used right from the moment of birth, you can add the LUNA newborn Cocoon (PS262) and the LUNA Infant Seats (PS53 each). The Egg 2 is a stylish elegant pushchair that can be converted into a double side by side. It comes in a range of carrycots and infant seats to accommodate twins or siblings with different age ranges. It's also incredibly easy to collapse. It is also relatively light and compact, making it a great choice for those who have smaller vehicles or have limited space to store. Convertible The best double prams and pushchairs can be used in a variety of ways and some are able to change into different seat configurations to suit your changing family needs. You can accommodate up to three children on the seat board, or two toddlers in the seats, and still have enough space for shopping bags. Accessories such as rain covers are also available. Most convertible double strollers are bigger and heavier than single pushchairs due to the fact that they are required to be able to accommodate two or more children. The Graco Modes Nest2Grow convertible is an example of an affordable convertible that is simple to use. However, our test participants found it to be quite heavy for the price. Some double strollers that convert into convertibles, such as the Baby Jogger City Select 2 come with a carrycot suitable for babies. This reduces the size of the double stroller when not being used and makes it smaller. The City Select's innovative single-handed folding impressed our testers but it does require some time to master. It is also quite fluid and agile in spite of its size. Another affordable option is an option that is affordable is the Cybex Mockingbird Single-to-Double Stroller. It can be converted from a parent-facing infant car seat to a forward-facing toddler seat. The bassinet feature is a great option for infants. If you're looking for more flexibility, consider a dual-mode convertible like the iCandy Peach. It's a small double buggy that can hold two children side-by-side and can be used as a tandem with the addition of a second-seat kit and rider board. It is fluid and agile, and our testers liked its sleek design. It's not as light as some of the other pushchairs we've reviewed however it does come with an ample shopping basket that is ideal for parents with bags full of toys and groceries. Lightweight Some parents want to ensure the future of their double pushchair if they have one child and are expecting another so a convertible option is an excellent choice. The iCandy Peach allows you to transform from a single to a double pushchair with the addition of an infant seat or the brand's optional carrycot (which is suitable for overnight sleeping). The seats are very comfortable and our test subjects love the fact that they can recline in multiple positions. They also love the feature that the canopy comes with a peekaboo window and UPF 50+ protection. The rear seat can also be lifted high to offer an elevated platform for the child to climb off and on, so they can reach items in the shopping basket. The only downside to the iCandy Peach is that it is quite heavy, but Cher believed that it was balanced by how easy it is to move around and how big the storage area is with two hanging parent and child cup holders, seat-back pockets and a large underseat storage basket. Cher also loved that the seats can be reversed to be positioned to face each other, which is great for siblings who want 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, but still impressive. It weighs only 18 pounds, is small, and has an auto-standing fold, making it easy to carry around or put in your trunk. Parents love the quality of the materials and workmanship as well as the affordable price. The only downsides are that the seats don't recline as much compared to other models we've tested and the rear seat is not as well-lit because of its position as it is higher than the front seat. Another popular choice is the Joolz Geo 3, which is slim and sleek. It is also easy to steer, and comes with an attractive design and lifetime guarantee. It's important to keep in mind that, despite their smaller size Side by side prams are more spacious than tandem and in-line doubles and can be difficult to navigate through busy streets or in shops. They are also smaller, making them easier to maneuver in tight spaces.
