Choosing a Double Pram and Pushchair

A double pram or pushchair will simplify life for families, particularly when walking on busy roads or in shops and stores. Select a model that offers plenty of storage space to store nappies as well as snacks and other necessities.

Some first-time parents opt for a future proof pushchair that can be used as a single and double stroller pram once baby is born, and later changed into a twin pushchairs mode after the baby has arrived. Joolz offers a wide range of choices.

Tandem

The announcement that you're expecting a baby is among life's most exciting experiences. However, after the excitement fades and reality begins to sink into your life, you'll be faced with a variety of decisions about how to prepare your family for the arrival of your new one or ones. The best stroller or pram is one of the most important things to consider.

Tandem prams, also known as "in-line" double prams, are a classic style with two bassinets or seats placed side-by-side. The front seat is usually cushioned and reclines to a flat position, making it suitable for infants while the second one is more upright and is able to accommodate toddlers from around three years of age. Certain models let you decide if your children will look at each other or face each other. A lot of tandems offer the option to convert into a single pushchair if you decide that your child's oldest does not require the second seat.

A tandem is less expensive than a twin pram and is a great option for parents who want to save money, without having to sacrifice safety or functional. However, the drawback of a tandem is that it may feel long and heavy to steer, especially when you're moving up and down kerbs. Additionally, it is usually less stable than a twin pushchair, especially if the child with the most weight is seated at the front. A tandem can be difficult to fit on public transport, and it may be difficult to navigate narrow pavements.

The iCandy Peach is a popular image-conscious model that's a great choice for a single parent who is looking for something that is sleek, but the tandem mode can make it feel quite heavy and long when pushing. It has frames that can be expanded in size to accommodate a second seat. It can be used with a range of combinations of buggy seats, car seats and carrycots (two at one time or in separate). The iCandy Wave is another lightweight tandem option that's easy to use and compatible with a variety of car seats and carrycots.

Side by side

There are many aspects to consider when choosing a double pushchair or pram. If you're buying a double pram for twins or other siblings that are similar in age, there are a number of configuration options to consider. Tandem prams (also called side by side prams) are popular choices as they can be set up to accommodate infants in a bassinet on the top while the older toddler or infant sits in the seat below.

Some models even feature seats that can be reversible, meaning you can alter the seating arrangement to suit your family's needs throughout the baby and toddler years. This lets you see your children at all times and allows them to be a part of the journey while they walk.

Tandem prams are usually all-terrain buggies or jogging ones which makes them ideal for outdoor adventures and in the park. They're also a great option if you need to brave narrow aisles in the supermarket or at checkouts as they tend to be smaller than single-seaters.

The Redsbaby JIVE3 Pram, for instance, can be used as a tandem pram right from birth in the dual mode by adding the use of the rumble seat (PS249). If your child is no longer a member of the rumble chair, you can change to the single pram mode. You can also choose to use the adaptors for car capsules to transform it from a newborn to toddler travel system.

The Side by Side Pram made by Babybee is another option. This double pram side-by-side is available in a range of colors and comes with an attractive modern style. Designed to be used right from the moment of birth, you can include the LUNA newborn Cocoon (PS262) and the LUNA Infant Seats (PS53 each).

The Egg 2 is a stylish elegant pushchair that can be transformed into a double side by side. It's available in a variety of infant and carrycot combinations to accommodate twins or siblings of different ages and is super-easy to fold. It's also fairly lightweight and compact, making it a great option for those with little space in their cars or don't have enough space for storage.

Convertible

The best double prams and pushchairs can be used in a variety of ways, and some are even capable of changing 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, while still having enough space for shopping bags. Accessories such as rain covers are also available. Convertible double strollers tend to be heavier and bulkier than single pushchairs because they are designed to accommodate two or more children. The Graco Modes Nest2Grow convertible is an example of a very inexpensive convertible that is very easy to use. However, our reviewers thought it was quite heavy for the money.
