Choosing a Double Pram and Pushchair A well-designed double pram or pushchair can simplify the lives of families, especially when walking on busy roads or in the shops and stores. Pick a model with ample storage space to store nappies as well as snacks and other necessities. Some first-time parents choose a future-proof pushchair which can be used as a single stroller when baby is born, and later transformed into a twin-mode after he or she arrives. Joolz offers a range of choices. Tandem The announcement that you're expecting a child is among life's most exciting experiences. After the excitement wears off and the reality of the situation begins to set in, you will be faced with many decisions regarding how you can prepare your family. The right pram or stroller is among the most crucial considerations. Tandem prams, also known as “in-line” double prams are a classic design with two bassinets or seats placed side by side. The front seat, which is typically cushioned, reclines flat and is suitable for infants. The second seat is a bit higher and designed to accommodate toddlers as young as 3 years. Some models let you select whether your children stare at each other or outwards. Many tandems have the option of converting into a single pushchair if you decide your oldest child does not require the second seat. A tandem is more affordable than a twin pram and can be an excellent choice for parents looking to save money, without compromising safety or functionality. However, one disadvantage of a tandem is that it may be a bit heavy and lengthy to steer, especially when you're going up or down kerbs. It is generally less stable than a twin pram especially if the child with the most weight is sitting in the front. A tandem can be difficult to place on public transport, and it may be difficult to navigate narrow roads. The iCandy Peach is a popular model with a strong image that's a great choice for a singleton parent who is looking for something that is sleek, but the tandem mode can make it feel quite long and heavy when pushing. It features a clever frame that expands in width to accommodate the second seat, and can be used with multiple combinations of carrycots, buggy seats and car seats (two at a time or in separate). 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 to selecting a double pushchair or pram there's plenty to think about. If double buggy with car seat buying for twins or other siblings that are similar in age, there are a number of configuration options to take into account. Tandem prams (also called side by side prams) are a popular choice since they can be arranged to accommodate infants with a bassinet on top, while the larger toddler or infant is in the lower seat below. Some models have reversible seats which allow you to alter the configuration for your family during the infant and toddler years. This allows you to see your children at all times, and gives them the chance to connect with them when they walk. Tandem prams are jogging buggies as well as all-terrain buggies. They are great for trips outdoors, such as to the park. They're also a good choice if you need to brave narrow aisles in the supermarket or at checkouts as they're generally smaller than single-seaters. The Redsbaby JIVE3 pram, for example can be utilized in tandem mode from birth with the addition of a rumble seat. (PS249) When your child grows out of the rumble chair, you can change to a single pram mode. You can also opt to use the car capsule adaptors to transform it from a newborn into 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 colours and has a beautiful modern style. Designed to be used from the moment of birth, you can choose to add the LUNA newborn cocoon (PS262) or the LUNA infant seats (PS53 each) to ensure that your children are secure and comfortable. If you're looking for a sleek and stylish pushchair that converts into a side-by-side double then the Egg 2 from Chicco is a great option. It's available in a range of infant seat and carrycot combinations to accommodate twins or siblings of various ages and is super-easy to fold. It's also lightweight and therefore a good option for those with smaller vehicles or have limited space for storage. Convertible The best double prams or pushchairs can be made into various seats to meet your needs as they change. There is the possibility of fitting two toddlers in seats or a third child on the seat board and still have space for a basket to store your shopping, and the ability to add accessories such as rain covers is also a benefit. Convertible double strollers tend to be larger and heavier than single pushchairs due to the fact that they have to hold two or more children. The Graco Modes Nest2Grow convertible is an example of an affordable convertible that is easy to use. However, our test participants considered it to be a bit heavy for the money. Some double strollers that convert into convertibles, such as the Baby Jogger City Select 2 come with a carrycot suitable for infants. This allows the double stroller to be compacted and reduced in size when not used. The City Select's innovative folding system that is one-handed impressed our testers however it requires some practice. It's also quite agile and responsive, despite being bigger than other double strollers. Another option that is affordable is an option that is affordable is the Cybex Mockingbird Single-to-Double Stroller. It converts from a rear-facing infant car seat to a forward-facing toddler car seat and the bassinet-style mode is a great option for infants (although keep in mind that infants under four months old shouldn't be able to sleep in strollers due to the danger of asphyxia from position). If you want more flexibility, consider a dual-mode convertible like the iCandy Peach. This is a narrow double buggy that can hold two children in a row and can be used as a tandem with the addition of a second seat kit and rider board. It is nimble and responsive, and our testers were impressed by its sleek design. It's not as lightweight like some of the other models on our list, but it has a large basket that is useful for parents carrying bags full of toys and food items. Lightweight Some parents prefer to secure their double buggy if they have one child and are expecting another so a convertible option is a good option. The iCandy Peach allows you to transform from a single to a double pushchair by the addition of either an infant seat or the brand's carrycot (which is suitable for overnight sleeping). Our testers were pleased with how comfortable the seats are and loved the fact that they both recline to multiple positions, feature built-in leg and foot support and generous UPF 50+ canopies with peekaboo windows. The rear seat can be raised to allow the child of a higher age can stand on it to reach the shopping basket. The only issue with the iCandy Peach is that it is quite heavy. However, Cher believed that it was overcome by how easy it is to move around and how big the storage area is equipped with two hanging parent and child cup holders, seat-back pockets and an enormous underseat basket. Cher also appreciated that seats can be flipped so that they can be positioned to face each other, which is great for siblings who love to talk and interact when out and about. A lighter, but equally impressive option is the Delta Children LX side-by-side stroller that weighs only 18 pounds, is extremely compact and has an auto-standing fold that makes it easy to carry and store in your trunk or at home. Parents appreciate the high-quality materials and workmanship, as well as the low cost. The only issue is that the seats don't recline as far as other models we've examined and the rear seat isn't very well-lit due to its positioning that is higher than the front seat. stokke double stroller is another popular option. It's slim, sleek, easy to steer and has a lifetime warranty. It's important to keep in mind that despite their narrower design, side by side prams remain wider than tandem and in-line doubles and can be difficult to navigate on busy streets or in shops. They're also shorter and therefore more maneuverable in tight spaces.
