Choosing a Double Pram and Pushchair

A double pram can simplify the lives of families, especially in busy shops or on busy streets. Choose a model with ample storage space for nappies, snacks and other essentials.

Some parents who are first-time parents opt for a future-proof pushchair that can be used both as a single stroller at the time baby is born, and then converted to a twin mode after the baby arrives. Joolz offers a range of these options.

When the excitement wears off and the reality of the situation sets in, you will be faced with a variety of choices regarding how Ready To Grow Double Stroller prepare your family for. One of the most important things to consider is choosing the correct pram or pushchair.

Tandem prams, also known as "in-line" double prams, are a classic design with two seats or bassinets placed side by side. The front seat is usually cushioned and reclines to a flat position, making it suitable for infants, while the second seat is more upright and is able to accommodate toddlers up to three years old. older. Some models have reversible seating so you can decide if your children face towards each other or gaze at you. Many tandems can be converted into one pushchair when your oldest child is no longer required to have the second seat.

In terms of cost, a tandem is much cheaper than a twin pushchair, and is a great option for parents who want to save money but not compromising on safety or convenience. However, a drawback of a tandem is that it may be heavy and long to steer, especially when you're going up or down kerbs, and it is generally less stable than a twin pram especially if the child with the most weight is seated in the front. A tandem can also be difficult to get onto public transport and is difficult to navigate on narrow pavements.

The iCandy Peach, a popular model that focuses on image, is an excellent option for parents who are single and want a sleeker design. However, the tandem mode makes it feel a bit heavy and long to push. It comes with a frame that expands in width to accommodate the second seat. It can be used with a variety of combinations of car seats, buggy seats, and carrycots (two at simultaneously or separately). The iCandy Wave is another best lightweight double stroller tandem option that's simple to use and compatible with a range of car seats and carrycots.

Side by side

When it comes time to choose a double pushchair from birth pushchair or pram, there's a lot to think about. There are many configuration options to choose from, regardless of whether you're purchasing for twins or close-in-age siblings. Tandem prams (also known as side by side prams) are popular choices as they can be configured to fit infants in a bassinet on top while the older infant or toddler sits in the seat below.

Some models come with convertible seats, which means you can modify the seating to suit your family's needs throughout the baby and toddler years. This lets you be able to watch your children at all times and gives them the chance to interact as they walk.

Tandem prams are usually jogging buggies or all-terrain ones, which means they're ideal for outdoor adventures and in the park. They're also a great option if you need to brave narrow supermarket isles or checkouts as they're generally smaller than single-seaters.

The Redsbaby JIVE3 pram, for instance, can be used in tandem mode from birth with the addition of an Rumble seat. (PS249) You can then change to a single pram mode when your little one gets used to the rumble seat or choose the car capsule adaptors (PS53) to transform it into a travel system from newborn to toddler.

Another alternative is the Side by Side Pram from Babybee. This double side-byside pram comes in a variety of colours and is designed with a 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 baby is safe and comfy.

If you're looking for a sleek and elegant pushchair that can convert into a side-byside double, the Egg 2 from Chicco is an excellent choice. It's available in a range of infant seat and carrycot configurations to accommodate twins or siblings of different ages and is super-easy to fold.

The top lightest double stroller prams and pushchairs are able to be used in multiple ways, and some are even able to change into different seating arrangements to meet your family's changing needs. You can fit two toddlers in seats or a third child on the seat board and still have room for a basket to store your shopping, and the option to add accessories like rain covers is a advantage. In general, convertible double strollers are larger and heavier than single pushchairs due to the fact that they have to be able to hold two or more children. The Graco Modes Nest2Grow is one example of a convertible that is affordable which is very user-friendly, but our testers felt that it was a bit heavy for the price.

Some convertible double strollers, such as the Baby Jogger City Select 2, have a carrycot option which is suitable for babies. This allows the double stroller to be folded down and reduced in size when not used. Our test participants were awestruck by the City Select's clever one-handed fold. However, it does take some practice. It's also quite agile and responsive, despite it being bigger than double strollers.

Another option that is affordable is the Cybex Mockingbird single to double pushchair-to-Double Stroller. It converts from a parent-facing infant car seat to a forward-facing toddler seat, and the bassinet mode is a fantastic option for infants (although remember that babies under four months old shouldn't sleep in strollers because of 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 stroller that can accommodate two children at the same time. It can also be used to make a tandem by adding a second seat kit. It's nimble and responsive and our test participants loved its sleek design. It's not as lightweight like 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 pushchair if they have a child and are expecting another, so a convertible option is an excellent choice. 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 ideal to sleep at night). Our testers were pleased with the comfort of the seats and love the fact that they both recline to multiple positions, have built-in foot and leg supports and have UPF 50+ canopy with windows that peek out. The rear seat can be raised so that the older child can stand on it to reach the basket of shopping.

Cher stated that the only downside of the iCandy Peach was its weight. However, she believed this was offset by the fact that 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 feature that the seats are reversible, so they can be positioned to face each other for siblings who want to talk and get together when out and about.

The Delta Children LX Side-by-Side Stroller is a less heavy option however, it is still awe-inspiring. It weighs only 18 pounds, is compact, and has self-standing fold, making it simple to transport or store in your trunk. Parents are impressed by the quality of materials and workmanship, and the low price. The only drawback is that the seats don't recline as far as some other models we've tried, and the rear seat isn't as well-lit due to its position - it's raised higher than the front seat.

Another popular choice is the Joolz Geo 3, which is slim and sleek. It is also easy to steer, and comes with an attractive design and lifetime guarantee. While they're smaller than side-by-side strollers, they can be more spacious than tandems and inline doubles. This makes them difficult to maneuver around busy footpaths and in shops. However, they're usually shorter, which means they can be more maneuverable in tight spaces than tandems.
