Choosing a Double Pram and Pushchair

A double pram buggy pram can make life easier for families, particularly in bustling stores or on busy streets. Pick a model with ample storage space to store nappies, snacks, and other essentials.

Some parents who are first-time parents opt for a future-proof pushchair that can be used as a single stroller at the time baby is born, and then transformed into a twin buggy-mode after the baby arrives. Joolz offers a range of these options.

Tandem

The announcement that you are expecting a child is among the most exciting events in life. Once the excitement has worn off and the reality of the situation sets in, you'll have to make a number of choices regarding how you can prepare your family. The best stroller or pram is one of the most important considerations.

Tandem prams (also called "in-line" double prams) are a classic style that have two seats or pram bassinets arranged side by side. The front seat, which is typically padded, reclines flat and is suitable for babies. The second seat is a bit higher and is designed to accommodate toddlers as young as three years old. Certain models let you decide if your children will look at each other or face each other. A lot of tandems offer the option of being converted into a single pushchair if you decide that your child's oldest does not require the second seat.

In terms of price, a tandem is much cheaper than a twin pushchair, and can be an excellent choice for parents who want to save money but not compromising on safety or functionality. However, one disadvantage of a tandem is that it can be heavy and long to steer especially when bumping up or down kerbs, and it is often less stable than a twin stroller pram, especially if the child who is older is sitting in the front. A tandem can be difficult to fit onto public transport and is difficult to navigate on narrow roads.

The iCandy Peach, a popular model with a focus on image, is an excellent choice for parents with one child who want an attractive design. However the tandem mode makes it feel a bit heavy and long to push. It has an expanded frame that increases in dimensions to accommodate the second seat. It can be used with a variety of car seats, buggy seats, and carrycots (two at simultaneously or separately). The iCandy Wave tandem is another lightweight option that's user-friendly and compatible with a variety of car seats and carrycots.

Side by side

There are many things to consider when choosing a cheap double buggy pushchair or pram. There are many 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 popular choices as they can be arranged to fit infants in a bassinet at the top while the older toddler or infant is in the second seat below.

Some models come with reversible seats, which means you can modify the seating to suit your family's needs throughout the baby and toddler years. This allows you to see your children at all times and gives them the chance to connect with them as they walk.

Tandem prams are typically jogging or all-terrain buggies, which means they're ideal for outdoor excursions and the park. They're also a great option for those who have to navigate narrow checkout aisles or isles in supermarkets because they're 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 with the addition of the rumble seat (PS249). If your child is no longer a member of the rumble chair, you can switch to one pram mode. You can also choose to use the car capsule adaptors to transform it from a newborn to a toddler travel system.

Another option is the Side by Side Pram from Babybee. This double pram side-by-side is available in a variety of colors and comes with an elegant modern design. Designed to be used right from birth, you can also include the LUNA Cocoon for newborns (PS262) and the LUNA Infant Seats (PS53 each).

If you're looking for a sleek, elegant pushchair that can convert into a side-by-side double and a side-by-side double, the Egg 2 from Chicco is an excellent choice. It is available in a variety of infant and carrycots to accommodate twins or siblings with different age ranges. It's also easy to collapse. It's also light and therefore a good option for people with small cars or limited space for storage.

Convertible

The best double prams and pushchairs can be used in a variety of ways, and some are even able to change into different seating configurations to meet your family's changing needs. You can accommodate up to three children on the seat board, or two toddlers in the seats with room for a shopping bag. Accessories like rain covers are also available. Convertible double strollers are generally heavier and bulkier than single and double stroller pushchairs because they are designed to accommodate two or more children. The Graco Modes Nest2Grow is one instance of a low-cost convertible which is very user-friendly, however our test subjects felt it was a bit heavy for the price.

Some convertible double strollers, like the Baby Jogger City Select 2 comes with a carrycot which is suitable for newborns. This helps to reduce the size of the double stroller when it is not being used and makes it smaller. The City Select's clever single-handed folding impressed our testers, but it takes some time to master. It's also extremely responsive and nimble, despite its size.

The Cybex Mockingbird single-to-double stroller is another option that is reasonably priced. It can be converted from a parent facing infant car seat to an forward-facing toddler seat. The bassinet-style mode is a great choice for infants.

To be more flexible, opt for a convertible with dual modes like the iCandy Peach. This is a narrow double buggy that can hold 2 children side by side however it can also be used as a tandem with the addition of a second-seat kit and rider board. It is fluid and responsive, and our test users loved its sleek design. It's not as light as some of the other pushchairs we've reviewed, but it offers a large shopping basket which is great for parents who carry bags of toys and food.

Lightweight

Some parents want to ensure the future of their double buggy if they have a child and are expecting another so a convertible option is an excellent choice. The iCandy Peach can be converted from a single pushchair into a Thule Double stroller with the addition of a toddler's seat or the brand's carrycot (which works well for sleeping at night). Our testers noted the comfort of the seats and love the fact that they both recline to multiple positions, come with built-in leg and foot support and large UPF 50+ canopies with windows that peek out. The rear seat can be raised high to allow the child of a higher age can stand on it to reach the shopping basket.

The only downside to the iCandy Peach is that it is quite heavy, however Cher felt it was offset by its ease to move around and how big the storage area is, with two hanging parent and child cup holders as well as seat-back pockets, and a large underseat basket. Cher also liked that the seats can be turned to be positioned to face each other, which is ideal for siblings who like to talk and interact 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 compact and features an auto-standing fold, making it simple to transport or put in your trunk. Parents are impressed by the quality of the materials and craftsmanship 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 tried and the back seat isn't very well-lit due to its positioning as it's 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 appealing design and a lifetime guarantee. Although they are narrower, side-by-side prams can still be more spacious than tandems and inline doubles. This makes them difficult to maneuver on busy streets and in shops. However, they're usually shorter too, so are easier to maneuver in tight spaces than tandems.
