Choosing a Double Pram and Pushchair

A well-designed double to single buggy pram or pushchair will simplify family life, especially on busy streets or in the shops and stores. Find a model that has ample storage space to store nappies, snacks, and other essentials.

Some parents who are new to the family opt for a future proof pushchair that can be used as a single pram when baby is born, and later changed into a twin mode once he or she is old enough. 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, after the initial excitement wears off and the reality sets into your life, you'll be faced with a variety of decisions regarding how to prepare your family for the arrival of your baby one or ones. One of the most important considerations is choosing the right pram or pushchair.

Tandem prams, also known as "in-line" cheap double stroller prams, are a classic design that has two seats or bassinets placed side by side. The front seat, which is usually cushioned, reclines and is suitable for infants. The second seat is upright and designed to accommodate toddlers as young as 3 years. Certain models let you choose whether your children look at each other or face each other. A lot of tandems offer the option to convert into a single pushchair in the event that you decide that your oldest child doesn't require the second seat.

In terms of cost the tandem is cheaper than a twin pushchair, and can be an excellent choice for parents looking to save money without compromising on safety or function. However, a drawback of a tandem is that it may feel long and heavy to steer, particularly when bumping up or down kerbs, and it is usually less stable than a twin pram especially if the child with the most weight is seated at the front. A tandem can be difficult to transport on public transport, and it can be difficult to maneuver on narrow pavements.

The iCandy Peach is a popular image-conscious model that's a great choice for a single parent who wants something streamlined however, the tandem mode can make it feel quite large and heavy when pushing. It has an expanded frame that increases 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 tandem is another lightweight option that's user-friendly and compatible with a variety of car seats or carrycots.

Side by side

When it comes time to choose a double pram or pushchair there's plenty to consider. There are numerous configuration options available, 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 accommodate infants with a bassinet on top while the older infant or toddler sits in the second seat below.

Some models have reversible seating which allow you to alter the seating arrangement for your family members 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 as they walk.

Tandem prams are jogging buggies as well as all-terrain buggies. They are perfect for trips outdoors, such as to the park. They're also ideal for narrow aisles or checkouts in shops and supermarkets, as they are more compact.

The Redsbaby JIVE3 pram for instance, can be used in tandem mode right from birth with the addition of an rumble seat. (PS249) If your child is no longer a member of the rumble seat, you can switch to the single pram mode. You can also opt to make use of the car capsule adaptors to transform it from a newborn to toddler travel system.

The Side by Side Pram by Babybee is a different option. The side-by-side double pram is available in a range of colors and features a beautiful modern style. It is designed to be used from birth, you can also add 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 double stroller Organizer-sided side-by-side, the Egg 2 from Chicco is a great option. It's available in a variety of infant and carrycot configurations to accommodate twins or siblings of different age groups. It's also 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

Some of the top double running stroller pushchairs or prams can be configured into different seats to accommodate your changing needs. It is possible to fit 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. Most convertible double strollers are bigger and heavier than single pushchairs as they have to be able to hold two or more children. The Graco Modes Nest2Grow convertible is an example of an inexpensive convertible that is very easy to use. However, our testers considered it to be quite heavy for its price.

Some convertible double strollers, like the Baby Jogger City Select 2 comes with a carrycot which is suitable for newborns. This allows the double stroller to be compacted and reduced in size when it is not used. The City Select's clever folding system that is one-handed impressed our test participants, but it takes some practice. It's also quite agile and responsive, despite it being bigger than other double strollers.

Another option that is affordable is the Cybex Mockingbird Single-to-Double Stroller. It can be converted from a car seat with a parent seat to a forward-facing toddler seat, and the bassinet mode is a great option for infants (although be aware that babies younger than 4 months old should not use strollers to sleep due to the risk of asphyxia in a position).

For greater flexibility, opt for a convertible that has dual modes like the iCandy Peach. This is a narrow double buggy that can fit two children side-by-side, but it can also be used as a tandem, with the addition of a second seat kit and rider board. It is agile and responsive, and our testers loved its sleek design. It's not as light as some of the other pushchairs on our list however, it comes with an ample shopping basket that is handy for parents carrying bags full of groceries and toys.

Lightweight

Convertible double strollers are a great alternative for parents who have one child and are expecting another. The iCandy Peach can be converted from a single pushchair to double by the addition of a toddler seat or the brand's carrycot (which is great for overnight sleeping). The seats are very comfortable and our testers love the fact that they can recline in a variety of positions. They also love the feature that the canopy comes with a window that peeks out and offers UPF 50+ protection. The rear seat can also be lifted high to offer an elevated platform for a child to climb off and on to allow them to reach things in the basket of groceries.

Cher said that the only downside of the iCandy Peach was its weight. However, she believed that this was compensated for because it is easy to move and has plenty of storage with two cup holders for parents and children 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 set to face one another for siblings who want to talk and get together while 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 lightweight, and has self-standing fold, making it simple to transport or put in your trunk. Parents appreciate the quality of the materials and craftsmanship as well as the affordable price. The only drawback 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 positioning - it's raised 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 appealing design and a lifetime guarantee. It's worth bearing in mind that, despite their smaller size side by side prams remain more spacious than tandem and in-line doubles. They can be tricky to navigate on crowded footpaths or in shops. However, they're generally shorter, which means they are easier to maneuver in tight spaces than tandems.
