Choosing a Double Pram and Pushchair A double pram can make life easier for families, especially in busy stores or on busy streets. Pick a model with plenty of storage space to store nappies, snacks, and other necessities. Some parents who are first-time parents choose a future-proof pushchair that can be used as a single pram once baby is born. It can be transformed into a twin-mode once he or she has arrived. Joolz offers a wide range of options. Tandem The announcement that you're expecting a baby is one of the most exciting events in life. When the excitement wears off and the reality of the situation sets in, you will be faced with a variety of choices regarding how to prepare your family for. The right pram or stroller is among the most important considerations. Tandem prams (also known as 'in-line' double prams) are a timeless design with two bassinets or seats for prams arranged side-by-side. double travel buggy , which is typically cushioned, reclines flat and is suitable for infants. The second seat is more upright and designed to fit toddlers as young as 3 years old. Some models have reversible seating so you can 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 in need of the second seat. A tandem is more affordable than twin prams and can be a great option for parents who want to save money without losing safety or function. A tandem can be heavy and difficult to steer, especially when bumping over curbs. It is also less stable than twin prams particularly if a larger child is seated in the front. A tandem can be difficult to fit onto public transport, and it can be difficult to navigate on narrow pavements. The iCandy Peach is a popular image-conscious model that's a great choice for a singleton parent looking for a sleeker design however the tandem mode can make it feel long and heavy when pushing. It features a clever frame that can be expanded to allow for the addition of the second seat, and is compatible with many combinations of carrycots, buggy seats and car seats (two at once or separately). The iCandy Wave tandem is another lightweight option that's user-friendly and compatible with a variety of carrycots or car seats. Side by side There are many things to think about when selecting a double pram or pushchair. There are a variety of configuration options to choose from, regardless of whether you're purchasing for twins or close-in-age siblings. Tandem prams (also called side by sides prams) are a popular choice because they can be set up to fit infants in a bassinet at the top, while the older infant or toddler sits in the lower seat below. Certain models come with reversible seats that let you customize the configuration for your family members throughout the infant and toddler years. This lets you keep your children always in your sight and gives them a chance to get to know each other as they stroll. Tandem prams are typically all-terrain buggies or jogging ones, which means they're ideal for outdoor excursions and the park. They're also a great option for those who have to navigate narrow supermarket isles or checkouts because they are generally more compact than single-seaters. The Redsbaby JIVE3 Pram, for instance can be used as a tandem pram right from birth in dual mode by adding the use of the rumble seat (PS249). If your child gets bored of the rumble seat, you can change to a single pram mode. You can also choose to make use of the car capsule adaptors to convert it from a newborn to a toddler travel system. The Side by Side Pram by Babybee is another option. This double pram side-by-side is available in a range of colors and features an elegant modern design. Designed to be used from the moment of birth, you can choose to add the LUNA newborn cocoon (PS262) or the LUNA infant seats (PS53 each) to ensure that your little ones are secure and comfortable. The Egg 2 is a stylish sleek pushchair that can be transformed into a double side by side. It's available in a variety of infant and carrycot combinations to cater for twins or siblings of various ages and is super-easy to fold. It's also relatively lightweight and therefore an ideal choice for families with smaller cars or a limited storage space. Convertible Some of the best double prams or pushchairs can be set up to meet your changing needs. It is possible to fit two toddlers in the seats or even a third one on the seat board and still have space for a shopping basket, and the option to add accessories such as rain covers is another plus. Typically, convertible double strollers are more spacious 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 is one example of an affordable convertible which is very easy to use, although our testers felt that it was a bit heavy for its price. Some convertible double strollers, such as the Baby Jogger City Select 2 comes with a carrycot that is suitable for infants. This allows the double stroller to be folded down and reduced in size when it is not used. The City Select's innovative folding system that is one-handed impressed our test subjects however it requires some practice. It's also very fluid and agile, despite its size. Another affordable option is an option that is affordable is the Cybex Mockingbird Single-to-Double Stroller. It converts from a rear-facing infant car seat to a forward-facing toddler seat, and the bassinet mode is a great choice for infants (although remember that babies under 4 months old should not be able to sleep in strollers due to the danger of asphyxia from position). If you want more flexibility Consider a convertible that has dual modes such as the iCandy Peach. It's a compact double buggy that can fit two children in a row however it can also be used as a tandem by the addition of a second seat kit and rider board. It is fluid and responsive, and our test users liked its sleek design. It's not as light as some of the other pushchairs on our list, but it offers a large shopping basket which is ideal for parents with bags of groceries and toys. 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 can be converted from a single pushchair double by the addition of a toddler seat or the brand's carrycot (which is ideal for overnight sleeping). The seats are extremely comfortable and our testers appreciate that they can be reclined in a variety of positions. They also love the fact that the canopy has a peekaboo window and UPF 50+ protection. The rear seat can also be elevated to provide a a standing platform for a child to climb off and on to allow them to access items in the basket of groceries. Cher stated that the only downside of the iCandy Peach was its weight. However, she believed that this was compensated for because it is easy to maneuver and offers plenty of storage space with two cup holders for children and parents as well as seat-back pockets and a large basket under the seat. Cher also appreciated the fact that the seats are reversible, so they can be positioned to face one another for siblings who want to talk and get together while out and out and about. A lighter and equally impressive choice is the Delta Children LX side-by-side stroller that weighs only 18 lbs, is super compact and has an auto-standing fold that makes it easy to transport and put in your trunk or at home. Parents appreciate the quality of the materials and workmanship as well as the low price point. The only issue is that the seats don't recline as much as the other models we've tested and the rear seat isn't very well-lit due to its position – it's raised higher than the front seats. The Joolz Geo 3 is another popular option. It's slim, sleek, and easy to steer, and comes with a lifetime warranty. While they're smaller than side-by-side strollers, they can be more spacious than tandems and inline doubles. This makes them difficult to maneuver around busy footpaths and in shops. However, they are often shorter too, so can be easier to turn in tight spaces than tandems.
