Choosing a Double Pram and Pushchair

The announcement that you're expecting a baby is among life's most exciting moments. When the excitement wears off and the reality of the situation kicks in, you'll be faced with many decisions regarding how you can prepare your family.

Tandem prams, also referred as "in-line" double prams are a classic design that has two bassinets or chairs placed side by side. The front seat is typically cushioned and reclines to a flat angle, making it suitable for infants while the second one is more upright and is able to accommodate toddlers up to three years old. old. Some models allow you to choose whether your children look at each other or look outwards. A lot of tandems offer the option to convert into a single pushchair in the event that you decide that your child's oldest does not require the second seat.

However, the drawback of a tandem is that it can be a bit heavy and lengthy to steer, particularly when bumping up or down kerbs. It is generally less stable than a twin pram especially if the child with the most weight is seated at the front. A tandem can also be difficult to transport on public transport, and it can be difficult to navigate on narrow roads.

The iCandy Peach is a popular model with a strong image that's a great option for a single parent who is looking for something that is sleek, but the tandem mode can make it feel quite large and heavy when pushing. It features a clever frame that expands in width to allow for the addition of the second seat, and is compatible with many combinations of carrycots, buggy seats and car seats (two at a time or separately). The iCandy Wave tandem is another lightweight option that's user-friendly and compatible with a range of car seats or carrycots.

Side by side

When it comes to choosing a double pram or pushchair there's a lot to think about. Whether you're buying for twins or siblings close in age there are plenty of configuration choices to think about.

The Redsbaby JIVE3 Pram, for instance, can be used as a tandem pram starting from birth in dual mode, with the addition of the rumble seat (PS249). You can then change to a single pram mode once your baby gets used to the rumble seat, or use the adaptors for car capsules (PS53) to turn it into a traveler from infant to toddler.

It's available in a variety of carrycot and infant seat combinations to cater for twins or siblings of different age groups. It's also easy to fold.

Some of the best double prams or pushchairs are made into various seats to meet your needs as they change. You can fit two toddlers in a seat or a third rider on the seat board and still have space for a basket to store your shopping, and the option to add accessories like rain covers is a advantage. Convertible double strollers tend to be larger and heavier than single pushchairs due to the fact that they need to hold two or more children. The Graco Modes Nest2Grow convertible is an example of an affordable convertible that is simple to use. However, our reviewers thought it was somewhat heavy for the price.

Some convertible double strollers like the Baby Jogger City Select 2 has a carrycot option that is suitable for infants. This allows the double stroller to be folded down and reduced in size when it is not used. Our testers were impressed with the City Select's innovative one-handed fold, though it takes some practice. It's also extremely responsive and nimble, despite its size.

The Cybex Mockingbird single-to-double stroller is an alternative that is affordable. The seat can be converted from a child-facing car seat to an forward-facing toddler seat. The bassinet mode makes it a great option for infants.

If you're looking for more flexibility look into a convertible with dual modes such as the iCandy Peach. It's a small double buggy for twins buggy that can fit 2 children side by side and can be used as a tandem, with the addition of a second-seat kit and rider board. It's nimble and responsive and our test participants loved its sleek design. It's not as light as the other pushchairs we've reviewed, but it offers a large shopping basket which is handy for parents carrying bags of toys and food.

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 an excellent choice. The iCandy Peach allows you to convert from a single to a double pushchair double by the addition of either an infant seat or the brand's optional carrycot (which is suitable for sleeping at night). The seats are extremely comfortable and our test subjects love the fact that they can recline in a variety of positions. They also like the design of the canopy, which has a window that peeks out and offers UPF 50+ protection. The rear seat can also be elevated to provide a an elevated platform for the child to get on and off, so they can reach items in the basket of groceries.

Cher said that the only negative aspect of the iCandy Peach was its weight. However, she felt that this was compensated for because it is easy to maneuver and has plenty of storage and cup holders for parents and children, seat-back pockets, and a large basket under the seat. Cher also appreciated the fact that the seats are convertible, which means they can be set to face each other for siblings who want to chat and interact together while out and out and about.

The Delta Children LX Side-by-Side Stroller is a less heavy option, but still impressive. It weighs just 18 pounds, is lightweight and features self-standing fold, making it easy to transport or put in your trunk. Parents are impressed by the quality of the materials and craftsmanship as well as the affordable price. The only downsides are that the seats don't recline as well as other models we've tried and the rear seat is not as prominent due to its position and height. It is higher than the first seat.

The Joolz Geo 3 is another popular choice. It is slim, sleek, easy to steer and has an unbeatable lifetime warranty. It's important to keep in mind that, despite their smaller size, side by side prams remain larger than tandems and in-line doubles. They may be difficult to navigate through busy footpaths or in stores. They are also smaller and therefore easier to maneuver in tight spaces.
