A double pram can make life easier for families, particularly in bustling shops or on busy streets. Look for a model with ample storage space for nappies, snacks, and other essentials.
Some parents who are new to the world choose a pushchair that is future-proof and can be used as a single stroller when baby is born, and later converted to a twin buggy from birth mode when the baby is born. Joolz offers 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 times in your life. When the excitement wears off and the reality of the situation sets in, you will be faced with many choices regarding how to prepare your family for. One of the most important aspects to consider is choosing the best pram or pushchair.
Tandem prams, also known as "in-line" double prams are a classic design with two bassinets or seats placed side-by-side. The front seat, which is typically cushioned, reclines and is suitable for babies. The second seat is upright and designed to fit toddlers as young as 3 years old. Some models come with the option of reversible seating, which lets you choose to have your children face one another or look at you. Many tandems can be converted to one pushchair when your oldest child is no longer using the second seat.
A tandem is less expensive than twin prams and is a great option for parents who want to save money, but without losing safety or function. However, the drawback of a tandem is that it could be heavy and long to steer, especially when you're bumping up or down kerbs, and it is usually less stable than a twin pushchair, particularly if the older child is seated at the front. A tandem can be difficult to place on public transport, and it can be difficult to maneuver narrow pavements.
The iCandy Peach, a popular model that is focused on image, is an excellent option for parents who are single and want a sleeker style. However, the tandem mode makes it feel a bit heavy and long to push. It has an expanded frame that increases in size to accommodate a second seat. It can be used with a variety of combinations of buggy seats, car seats, and carrycots (two at a time or separately). The iCandy Wave is another lightweight tandem double buggy option that's easy to use and compatible with a range of car seats and carrycots.
Side by side
There are many things to consider when choosing a double pushchair or pram. Whether you're buying for twins or siblings close in age, there are a number of configuration options to consider. Tandem prams, referred to as side-by-side prams, are popular options because they can be set up so that the infant can sit in the bassinet in the middle while the older child or toddler is sitting in the second chair.
Some models have reversible seats that allow you to customize the layout of your family members throughout the toddler and baby years. This lets you be able to watch your children at all times, and allows them to be a part of the journey when they walk.
Tandem prams are often all-terrain buggies or jogging ones which makes them ideal for outdoor adventures and in the park. They're also ideal for narrow aisles and checkouts in shops and supermarkets as they are smaller.
The Redsbaby JIVE3 pram, for example can be utilized in tandem mode from birth, with the addition of the Rumble seat. (PS249) It is then possible to change to a single pram mode once your child gets used to the rumble seat, or use the adaptors for car capsules (PS53) to turn it into a traveler from newborn to toddler.
The Side by Side Pram by Babybee is a different option. The side-by-side double pram is available in a variety of colors and comes with an attractive modern style. It is designed to be used right from birth, you can also add the LUNA newborn cocoon (PS262) or the LUNA infant seats (PS53 each) to ensure that your baby is secure and comfortable.
If you're looking for a sleek, elegant pushchair that can convert into a side-by-side double tandem pushchair and a side-by-side double, the Egg 2 from Chicco is an excellent choice. It comes in a range of carrycots and infant seats to accommodate twins or siblings with different age groups. It is also super-easy to collapse. It is also relatively lightweight and therefore a good option for people with little space in their cars or don't have enough space to store.
Convertible
The best double prams and pushchairs are versatile and some are able to change into different seating arrangements to meet the changing needs of your family. You can accommodate up to three children on the seat board or two toddlers in the seats, with room for a shopping bag. Accessories such as rain covers are also available. Most convertible double strollers are larger and heavier than single pushchairs due to the fact that 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 test participants thought it was a bit heavy for the price.
Some convertible double strollers, such as the Baby Jogger City Select 2 has a carrycot option which is suitable for babies. This reduces the size of the double stroller when it is not in use, and makes it more compact. 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 very nimble and agile, despite being larger than other double strollers.
The Cybex Mockingbird single-to-double buggy stroller is another affordable option. The seat can be converted from a parent facing infant car seat to a forward-facing toddler seat. The bassinet-style mode is a great option for infants.
If you're looking for more flexibility Consider a convertible that has dual modes such as the iCandy Peach. It's a compact double stroller that can hold two children in a tandem. It can also be used to make a tandem by adding a second seat kit. It's responsive and agile, and our testers liked its sleek design. It's not as light as the other pushchairs in our list however it does come with an enormous shopping basket that is handy for parents carrying bags of toys and groceries.
Lightweight
Convertible double strollers are an excellent option for parents who already have one child and are expecting another. The iCandy Peach allows you to convert from a single to a double pushchair, with the addition of an infant seat or the brand's optional carrycot (which is suitable for sleep overs). The seats are very comfortable and our testers love that they can be reclined in various positions. They also love the design of the canopy, which has a window that peeks out and offers UPF 50+ protection. The rear seat can be raised high so that the older child can stand on it to reach the shopping basket.
Cher stated that the only disadvantage of the iCandy Peach was its weight. However, she felt this was offset because it is easy to maneuver and comes with plenty of storage space with two cup holders for children and parents as well as seat-back pockets and an enormous basket underneath the seat. Cher also loved that seats can be flipped so that they can be positioned to face each other, which is perfect for siblings who love to talk and interact while out and about.
A lighter and equally impressive option is the Delta Children LX side-by-side stroller that weighs only 18 pounds, is extremely compact and features a self-standing fold that makes it easy to transport and store in your trunk or at home. Parents appreciate the quality of the materials and craftsmanship as well as the affordable price. The only negatives are that the seats don't recline as much compared to other models we have tested and the rear seat isn't as well-lit due to its location - it is raised higher than the first seat.
The Joolz Geo 3 is another popular option. It's slim, sleek, easy to steer and has a lifetime guarantee. Although they are narrower than side-by-side strollers, they can be more spacious than tandems and inline doubles. This makes them difficult to maneuver on busy footpaths and in shops. They are also shorter, making them more maneuverable in tight spaces.
