Choosing a Double Pram and Pushchair A double pram can make life easier for families, particularly in busy shopping centers or on busy streets. Choose a model that has 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 stroller when bub is born and then changed into a twin mode once he or she is old enough. Joolz offers a range of these options. Tandem The news that you're expecting to have a baby is among the most exciting moments in life. When the excitement wears off and the reality of the situation sets in, you'll have to make a number of choices regarding how to prepare your family for. One of the most important considerations is choosing the right pram or pushchair. Tandem prams (also known as 'in-line' double prams) are a classic style that have two bassinets or seats for prams arranged side by side. The front seat is typically cushioned and reclines to a flat angle, making it suitable for babies and the second seat is more upright and is able to accommodate toddlers from around three years older. Certain models feature reversible seating so you can choose to have your children face towards each other or gaze at you. Many tandems have the option of converting into a single pushchair if you decide that your child's oldest no longer needs the second seat. A tandem is more affordable than a twin pram and is a great option for parents looking to save money, without having to sacrifice safety or functional. A tandem can be heavy and difficult to steer, particularly when you're tripping over the kerbs. It's also less stable than twin pushchairs especially when a bigger child is in the front. A tandem can also be tricky to get onto public transport, and it can be difficult to navigate on narrow roads. The iCandy Peach, a popular model that focuses on image, is a great alternative for parents with one child who want a sleeker appearance. However the tandem mode makes it feel heavy and long to push. It has a frame that expands 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 is another lightweight tandem option that's simple to use and compatible with a variety of carrycots and car seats. Side by side There are many things to think about when selecting a double pram or pushchair. There are many configuration options to choose from, regardless of whether you're buying for twins or close-in-age siblings. Tandem prams (also known as side by side prams) are popular choices as 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. Some models have reversible seats that let you customize the seating arrangement for your family throughout the infant and toddler years. This lets you see your children at all times, and allows them to interact while they walk. Tandem prams can be jogging buggies or all-terrain buggies. They are perfect for outdoor excursions, like to the park. They are also great for narrow aisles or checkouts in shops and supermarkets as they are smaller. most compact double stroller , 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). When your child grows out 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 a toddler travel system. The Side by Side Pram by Babybee is another alternative. The side-by-side double pram is available in a range of colors and features a beautiful modern style. Designed to be used right from birth, you can include the LUNA newborn Cocoon (PS262) and the LUNA Infant Seats (PS53 each). The Egg 2 is a stylish sleek pushchair that can be converted into a double side by side. It's available in a range of carrycot and infant seat combinations to cater for twins or siblings of different age groups. It's also easy to fold. It's also quite light and therefore an ideal choice for families with small cars or limited storage space. Convertible The best double prams and pushchairs are able to be used in multiple ways and some are capable of changing seating arrangements to meet your family's changing needs. It is possible to fit two toddlers in a seat or even a third one on the seat board and have room for a shopping basket, and the ability to add accessories like rain covers is another plus. Convertible double strollers are generally heavier and larger than single pushchairs, as they have to hold two or more children. The Graco Modes Nest2Grow is one example of a convertible that is affordable that is extremely easy to use, although our testers thought it was a little heavy for the price. Some double strollers that can be converted into convertibles like the Baby Jogger City Select 2 have a carrycot that is suitable for infants. This reduces 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 testers but it does require some time to master. It also feels quite nimble and responsive, despite it being bigger than other double strollers. The Cybex Mockingbird single-to-double stroller is another option that is reasonably priced. The seat converts from a parent-facing infant car seat to a forward-facing toddler car seat, and the bassinet mode is a fantastic option for infants (although remember that babies under 4 months old should never use strollers to sleep due to the risk of positional asphyxia). To be more flexible, opt for a convertible with dual modes such as the iCandy Peach. This is a narrow double buggy that can fit two children in a row and can be used as a tandem, with the addition of a second-seat kit and rider board. It's nimble and agile, and our testers were impressed by its sleek design. It's not quite as lightweight like some of the other models we've reviewed, but it comes with a big basket that is useful for parents who are carrying bags full of toys and groceries. Lightweight Some parents want to ensure the future of their double buggy when they have one child and are expecting another so a convertible option is a good option. The iCandy Peach can be converted from a single pushchair double with the addition of a toddler's seat, or the brand's carrycot (which is ideal to sleep at night). Our testers noted the comfort of the seats and loved the fact that both recline to different positions, have built-in leg and foot support and large UPF 50+ canopy with peekaboo windows. The rear seat can be lifted high to offer a standing platform for the child to get on and off, to allow them to reach items in the shopping basket. Cher said that the one disadvantage 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, including two cup holders for children and parents, seat-back pockets, and a large basket under the seat. Cher also appreciated that seats can be flipped so that they can be positioned to face each other, which is perfect for siblings who like to interact and talk while out and about. The Delta Children LX Side-by-Side Stroller is a less heavy option, but still impressive. It weighs only 18 pounds, is small, and has an auto-standing fold, making it simple to transport or put in your trunk. Parents love the quality of materials and workmanship, as well as the low price. The only issue is that the seats don't recline as much as the other models we've tried and the rear seat isn't very well-lit due to its position that is higher than the front seat. Another popular choice is the Joolz Geo 3, which is slim sleek, stylish and easy to steer, and comes with an attractive design and a lifetime guarantee. Although they are smaller, side-by-side prams can still be more spacious than tandems and inline doubles. This makes them difficult to maneuver on busy footpaths and in shops. However, they are often shorter, which means they can be easier to turn in tight spaces than tandems.
