A double pram can make life easier for families, especially in busy shops or on busy streets. Choose a model with generous storage space for stowing nappies, snacks, and other essentials.
Some first-time parents opt for an infant pushchair that can be used as a single pram when baby is born, and later changed into a twin mode once he or she has arrived. Joolz offers a range of these options.
Tandem
The news that you're about to have the birth of a child is one of the most exciting events in life. When the excitement wears off and the reality of the situation sets in, you'll have to make a number of options for how to prepare your family. One of the most important considerations is choosing the correct pram or pushchair.
Tandem prams, also referred to as "in-line" double prams, are a classic design with two bassinets or seats placed side-by-side. The front seat, which is usually cushioned, reclines and is suitable for infants. The second seat is more upright and designed to fit toddlers as young as 3 years. Some models have the option of reversible seating, which lets you choose whether your children face each other or look out at you. Many tandems have the option of converting into a single pushchair when you decide that your oldest child no longer needs the second seat.
A tandem is cheaper than twin prams and is an ideal choice for parents who want to save money, but without compromising safety or functionality. A tandem can be a bit heavy and difficult to steer, particularly when bumping over the kerbs. It's also less stable than twin pushchairs, especially if an older child is in the front. A tandem can be difficult to place on public transport, and it can be difficult to navigate narrow pavements.
The iCandy Peach is a popular model with a strong image that's a great option for a single parent looking for a sleeker design however, the tandem mode can make it feel large and heavy when pushing. It comes with an innovative frame that expands widthways to accommodate the second seat, and it can be used with multiple combinations of carrycots, buggy seats and car seats (two at once or separately). The iCandy Wave is another lightweight tandem option that is easy to use and compatible with a variety of carrycots and car seats.
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 siblings close in age there are a variety of configuration options to consider. Tandem prams (also known as side by side prams) are popular choices as they can be set up to accommodate infants in a bassinet on top, while the older infant or toddler sits in the seat below.
Some models have reversible seats which allow you to alter the seating arrangement for your family throughout the toddler and baby years. This lets you see your children at all times and gives them the chance to interact while they walk.
Tandem prams can be jogging buggies or all-terrain buggies. They are great for trips outdoors, such as to the park. They're also ideal for narrow aisles or checkouts in supermarkets and shops, as they are less bulky.
The Redsbaby JIVE3 pram for example, can be utilized in tandem mode from birth, but with the addition of an Rumble seat. (PS249) It is then possible to switch to the single mode when your little one grows out of the rumble seat, or use the adaptors for car capsules (PS53) to turn it into a traveler from infant to toddler.
The Side by Side Pram by Babybee is a different alternative. The side-by-side double pram is available in a variety of colors and comes with an elegant modern design. The design is intended to be used from birth, you can add the LUNA newborn cocoon (PS262) or the LUNA infant seats (PS53 each) to ensure that your little ones are comfortable and safe.
If you're seeking a sleek, elegant pushchair that can convert into a double-sided side-by-side, the Egg 2 from Chicco is a great option.

It's also lightweight, making it a good option for those with small cars or limited space for storage.
Convertible

You can fit up to three children on the seat board or two toddlers in the seats and still have enough space for a shopping bag. Accessories like rain covers are also available. Typically, convertible double pushchairs strollers are bigger and heavier than single pushchairs due to the fact that they have to be able to accommodate two or more children. The Graco Modes Nest2Grow is one example of an affordable convertible that is extremely user-friendly, but our testers thought it was a bit heavy for the price.
Some convertible double strollers like the Baby Jogger City Select 2 has a carrycot option that is suitable for infants. This allows the double stroller to be folded down and reduced in size when not being used. The City Select's clever single-handed folding impressed our testers but it does require some practice. It's also very nimble and agile, despite being larger than best travel double stroller strollers.
The Cybex Mockingbird single-to-double buggy side by side stroller is another affordable option. The seat converts from a rear-facing infant car seat to a forward-facing toddler seat, and the bassinet mode is a great option for infants (although be aware that babies younger than four months old shouldn't use strollers to sleep due to the risk of asphyxia in a position).
If you want more flexibility, consider a dual-mode convertible such as the iCandy Peach. It's a compact double stroller that is able to accommodate two children in a tandem. It can be used to create a tandem by incorporating a second seat kit. It is nimble and responsive, and our test users were impressed by its sleek design. It's not as lightweight double pushchair as some of the other models on our list but it has a large basket that is useful for parents who are carrying bags filled with toys and groceries.
Lightweight
Convertible double strollers are an excellent alternative for parents who have children and anticipate to have another. The iCandy Peach can be converted from a single pushchair to a double with the addition of a toddler's seat or the brand's carrycot (which works well to sleep at night). The seats are extremely comfortable and our testers appreciate that they can recline in multiple positions. They also appreciate the feature that the canopy comes with 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 basket of shopping.
Cher said that the one negative aspect of the iCandy Peach was its weight. But she felt this was offset because it's easy to move and comes with plenty of storage space, including two cup holders for parents and children as well as seat-back pockets and a large basket underneath the seat. Cher also appreciated the feature that the seats are adjustable, meaning they can be placed to face each other for siblings who want to talk and get together while out and out and about.
The Delta Children LX Side-by-Side Stroller is a smaller model however, it is still awe-inspiring. It weighs just 18 pounds, is small, and has self-standing fold, making it easy to transport or put in your trunk. Parents love the quality of materials and workmanship, as well as the cost. The only downside is that the seats don't recline as much as the other models we've examined, and the rear seat isn't very well-lit because of its position that 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, with an attractive design and a lifetime guarantee. It's worth bearing in mind 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 crowded footpaths or in shops. They are also smaller and therefore easier to maneuver in tight spaces.
