11 Ways To Completely Redesign Your Double Pram And Pushchair

Choosing a Double Pram and Pushchair

A double pram can simplify life for families, particularly in busy shopping centers or on busy streets. Choose a model that has ample storage space to store nappies snacks, nappies, and other essentials.

Some parents who are new to the world choose a pushchair that is future-proof and can be used both as a single stroller when baby is born, and later converted to a twin mode when the baby is born. Joolz offers a variety of these options.

Tandem

The news that you're about to have the birth of a child is one of the most exciting times in life. But, once the excitement of the beginning fades and reality begins to sink into your life, you'll be faced with a variety of choices regarding how to prepare your family for the arrival of your little one or one. The proper stroller or pram is among the most important considerations.

Tandem prams (also known as "in-line" double prams) are a classic design that feature two bassinets or seats for prams arranged side-by-side. The front seat, which is usually padded, reclines flat and is suitable for babies. The second seat is more upright and is designed to accommodate toddlers as young as three years. Some models allow you to select whether your children stare at each other or look outwards. Many tandems have the option to convert into a single pushchair when you decide your oldest child no longer needs the second seat.

In terms of cost, a tandem is much cheaper than a twin pushchair, and can be an excellent choice for parents looking to save money but not compromising on safety or convenience. However, a drawback of a tandem is that it may be a bit heavy and lengthy to steer especially when bumping up or down kerbs, and it is generally less stable than a twin pushchair, particularly if the older child is seated in the front. A tandem can also be difficult to fit onto public transport, and it can be difficult to maneuver on narrow pavements.

The iCandy Peach, a popular model that is focused on image, is a great choice for parents who are single and want an elegant appearance. However the tandem mode makes it feel a bit heavy and long to push. It's got a frame that expands in dimensions to accommodate the second seat. It can be used with a range of combinations of buggy seats, car seats and carrycots (two at simultaneously or separately). The iCandy Wave tandem is another best lightweight double stroller option that's user-friendly and compatible with a range of car seats and carrycots.

Side by side

There are many aspects to consider when choosing a cheap double stroller pram or pushchair. There are numerous configuration options to choose from, regardless of whether you're purchasing for twins or close-in-age siblings. Tandem prams, referred to as side-by-side prams, are a popular choices because they can be configured so that the infant can be seated in the bassinet at the top while the older child or toddler is sitting in the second seat.

Some models have reversible seating which allow you to alter the configuration for your family during the baby and toddler years. This lets you keep your little ones always in your sight and gives them a chance to get to know one another as they walk.

tandem double stroller prams are often all-terrain buggies or jogging ones which makes them ideal for outdoor adventures and the park. They're also a good option when you have to traverse narrow checkout aisles or isles in supermarkets, as they tend to be smaller than single-seaters.

The Redsbaby JIVE3 pram for example can be utilized in tandem mode from birth, but with the addition of an rumble seat. (PS249) You can then change to a single pram mode once your child gets used to the rumble seat, or use the adaptors for car capsules (PS53) to transform it into a travel system for infant to toddler.

The Side by Side Pram made by Babybee is a different alternative. This double pram side-by-side is available in a range of colours and has an attractive modern style. Designed to be used right from birth, you can also add the LUNA newborn cocoon (PS262) or the LUNA infant seats (PS53 each) to ensure that your baby is secure and comfortable.

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 infant and carrycot combinations to cater for twins or siblings of various ages and is super-easy to fold. It's also relatively lightweight, which makes it an ideal option for those with small cars or limited storage space.

Convertible

The top double pram buggy prams and pushchairs are able to be used in multiple ways and some are capable of changing seat configurations to suit the changing needs of your family. You can fit two toddlers in the seats or a third rider on the seat board, and still have space for a basket to store your shopping, and the capability to add additional accessories such as rain covers is also a advantage. Most convertible double strollers are larger and heavier than single pushchairs as they are required to be able to hold two or more children. The Graco Modes Nest2Grow convertible is an example of a very affordable convertible that is easy to use. However, our testers thought it was a bit heavy for the price.

Some double strollers that convert into convertibles, such as the Baby Jogger City Select 2 have a carrycot that is suitable for infants. This reduces the size of the double stroller when not in use, and makes it smaller. Our test subjects were awed by the City Select's innovative one-handed fold, though it does take some practice. It's also extremely responsive and nimble, despite its size.

Another option that is affordable is an option that is affordable is the Cybex Mockingbird Single-to-Double stroller double. It converts from a parent-facing infant car seat to a forward-facing toddler seat and the bassinet-style mode is a great option for infants (although be aware that babies younger than 4 months old should never be able to sleep in strollers due to the danger of asphyxia from position).

To be more flexible, opt for a convertible that has dual modes such as the iCandy Peach. It's a best compact double stroller double stroller that is able to accommodate two children at the same time. It can be used to create a tandem by adding a second seating kit. It's nimble and responsive, and our test users liked its sleek design. It's not quite as lightweight as some of the other models on our list but it comes with a big basket that's ideal for parents who are carrying bags 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 great option. The iCandy Peach can be converted from a single pushchair into double with the addition of a toddler's seat, or the brand's carrycot (which is great for sleeping at night). Our testers noted the comfort of the seats and love the fact that they can recline in a variety of positions, feature built-in leg and foot supports and generous UPF 50+ canopy that has windows that peek out. The rear seat can be raised high so that the older child can stand on it to reach the shopping basket.

Cher said that the only disadvantage of the iCandy Peach was its weight. But she felt this was offset because it is easy to move and offers plenty of storage space, including two cup holders for parents and their children, seat-back pockets, and a large basket underneath the seat. She also liked the feature that the seats are reversible, so they can be positioned to face each other for siblings that want to chat and interact together while out and about.

The Delta Children LX Side-by-Side Stroller is a smaller model, but still impressive. It weighs only 18 pounds, is small, and has self-standing fold, making it easy to transport or store in your trunk. Parents are impressed by the quality of the materials and workmanship and the affordable price. The only negatives are that the seats do not recline as much as other models we've tried and the rear seat isn't as prominent because of its position as it is higher than the first seat.

Another popular option is the Joolz Geo 3, which is slim sleek, stylish and easy to steer, with an attractive design and a lifetime guarantee. Although they are narrower than side-by-side strollers, they can be more spacious than tandems and inline doubles. This makes them difficult to maneuver on busy footpaths and in shops. However, they're usually shorter too, so are easier to maneuver in tight spaces than tandems.
