A good double pram or pushchair can simplify life for families, particularly when walking on busy roads or in stores and shops. Choose a model that has plenty of storage space to store nappies snacks, nappies, and other necessities.
Some parents who are new to the family opt for an infant pushchair that can be used as a single pram once bub is born and then changed into a twin stroller with car seats mode after the baby is born. Joolz offers a variety of these options.
Tandem
The news that you're about to have a baby is one of the most exciting events in your life. However, once the initial excitement wears off and the reality sets in, you could be faced with a myriad of choices regarding how to prepare your family for the arrival of your little one or one. The proper stroller or pram is one of the most important considerations.
Tandem prams, also referred as "in-line" double prams, are a classic style with two seats or bassinets placed side-by-side. The front seat, which is usually padded, reclines flat and is suitable for babies. The second seat is upright and is designed to accommodate toddlers as young as three years old. Some models have reversible seating so you can choose to have your children face one another or look at you. A lot of tandems offer the option of being converted into a single pushchair when you decide that your child's oldest no longer needs the second seat.
A tandem is cheaper than twin prams and is an ideal choice for parents who wish to save money without compromising safety or functionality. However, one disadvantage of a tandem is that it can feel long and heavy to steer, particularly when bumping up or down kerbs. It is often less stable than a twin pram especially if the child who is older is seated in the front. A tandem isn't always easy to fit on public transport, and it can be difficult to navigate narrow roads.
The iCandy Peach, a popular model that focuses on image, is a great 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's got a frame that expands in width to accommodate the second seat. It can be used with a range of combinations of buggy seats, car seats and carrycots (two at a time or separately). The iCandy Wave is another lightweight tandem option that is easy to use and compatible with a variety of car seats and carrycots.
Side by side
When it comes time to choose a double pram or pushchair there's a lot to consider. If you're buying for twins or siblings close in age there are a variety of configuration options to consider. Tandem prams, referred to as side-by-side prams, are popular choices because they can be configured so that the infant is able to sit in the bassinet on top while the older child or toddler is sitting in the second chair.
Some models come with reversible seats, which means you can alter the seating arrangement to your family's requirements throughout the toddler and baby years. This will allow you to keep your kids always in your sight and also gives them a chance to interact with one another as they walk.
Tandem prams are often jogging buggies or all-terrain ones that is why they're great for outdoor excursions and the park. They're also a good option if you need to brave 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 the dual mode with the addition of the rumble seat (PS249). When your child grows out of the rumble seat, you can change to one pram mode. You can also opt to use the car capsule adaptors to transform it from a newborn to toddler travel system.
Another alternative is the Side by Side Pram from Babybee. This double side-by-side pram comes in a range of colors and is designed with a contemporary design. Designed to be used from birth, you can also add the LUNA newborn cocoon (PS262) or the LUNA infant seats (PS53 each) to ensure your baby is safe and comfy.
If you're looking for a sleek and elegant pushchair that can be converted into a side-byside double, the Egg 2 from Chicco is a great option. It's available in a variety of infant seat and carrycot combinations to accommodate twins or siblings of varying age groups and is easy to fold. It's also fairly light and therefore a good option for people with little space in their cars or don't have enough space to store.
Convertible
The top double prams and pushchairs are versatile, and some are even capable of changing seat configurations to suit the changing needs of your family. You can accommodate up to three children on the seat board, or two toddlers in the seats, while still having enough space for a shopping bag. Accessories like rain covers are also available. In general, convertible double buggy from birth strollers are larger and heavier than single pushchairs as they are required to be able to accommodate two or more children. The Graco Modes Nest2Grow convertible is an example of an inexpensive convertible that is very easy to use. However, our reviewers found it to be somewhat heavy for the money.
Some convertible double strollers, like the Baby Jogger City Select 2 has a carrycot option that is suitable for infants. This helps to reduce the size of the double stroller when it is not in use, and makes it more compact. The City Select's innovative single-handed folding impressed our test subjects but it does require some practice. It is also quite agile and responsive even despite its size.
The Cybex Mockingbird single-to-double stroller is another affordable option. The seat 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.
If you're looking to expand your options look into a convertible with dual modes like the iCandy Peach. This is a narrow double buggy that can fit 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's responsive and agile, and our testers liked its sleek design. It's not quite as lightweight like some of the other models on our list however it does come with a huge basket that is useful for parents who are carrying bags filled with toys and other items.
Lightweight
Convertible double strollers are an excellent option for parents who have a child and expect to have another. The iCandy Peach can be converted from a single pushchair to a double with the addition of a toddler seat, or the brand's carrycot (which is ideal for overnight sleeping). Our testers were pleased with the comfort of the seats and love the fact that they both recline to different positions, feature built-in leg and foot supports and have UPF 50+ canopy that has peekaboo windows. The rear seat can be raised high so that the child who is older can stand on it to reach the basket of shopping.
Cher said that the only downside of the iCandy Peach was its weight. However, she felt that this was compensated for because it is easy to move 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. She also appreciated the feature that the seats are adjustable, meaning they can be positioned to face each other for siblings that want to talk and get together when out and out and about.
The Delta Children LX Side-by-Side Stroller is a lighter option however, it is still awe-inspiring. It weighs just 18 pounds, is small, and has a self standing fold, making it easy to carry around or put in your trunk. Parents are impressed by the quality of materials and workmanship, and the low price. The only issue is that the seats don't recline as far as some other models we've tried, and the rear seat isn't as well-lit due to its positioning - it's raised higher than the front seat.
The Joolz Geo 3 is another popular option. It is slim, sleek and easy to steer and comes with a lifetime warranty. It's important to keep in mind that, despite their smaller size side by side prams are still more spacious than tandem and in-line doubles. They may be tricky to navigate on crowded footpaths or in shops. They're also shorter, making them easier to maneuver in tight spaces.
