Choosing a Double Pram and Pushchair A good double pram or pushchair can simplify family life, especially when walking on busy roads or in stores and shops. Choose a model that has plenty of storage space to store nappies as well as snacks and other necessities. Some parents who are new to the world choose a future-proof pushchair which can be used both as a single stroller when baby is born, and then changed to a twin mode when the baby is born. Joolz provides a variety of these options. Tandem The news that you're expecting the birth of a child is one of the most exciting times in life. When the excitement wears off and the reality of the situation kicks in, you'll be faced with a variety of decisions regarding how you can prepare your family. One of the most important things to consider is choosing the right pram or pushchair. Tandem prams (also called “in-line” double prams) are a classic design with two seats or pram bassinets that are arranged side by side. The front seat, which is typically cushioned, reclines 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 decide if your children will look at each other or look outwards. A lot of tandems offer the option to convert into a single pushchair if you decide that your oldest child doesn't require the second seat. A tandem is more affordable than twin prams and is an ideal choice for parents who wish to save money, without having to sacrifice safety or functional. A tandem can be a bit heavy and difficult to steer, especially when bumping over curbs. It is also less stable than twin pushchairs especially when a bigger child is in the front. A tandem can also be difficult to get onto public transport, and it can be difficult to navigate on narrow roads. The iCandy Peach, a popular model with a focus on image, is an excellent alternative for a single parent who wants an elegant design. However the tandem mode can make it feel heavy and long to push. It's got 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 simultaneously or separately). The iCandy Wave is another lightweight tandem option that's simple to use and compatible with a variety of carrycots and car seats. Side by side When it comes to choosing a double pushchair or pram, there's a lot to think about. There are many configuration options available, whether you're buying for twins or close-in-age siblings. Tandem prams (also called side by side prams) are a popular choice since they can be configured to accommodate infants in a bassinet at the top, while the larger toddler or infant is in the seat below. Some models even feature reversible seats, which means you can alter the seating arrangement to your family's requirements throughout the toddler and baby years. This lets you be able to watch your children at all times, and gives them the chance to be a part of the journey as they walk. Tandem prams are typically jogging or all-terrain buggies which makes them ideal for outdoor excursions and the park. They are also great for narrow aisles and checkouts in supermarkets and shops, as they are less bulky. The Redsbaby JIVE3 pram, for instance, can be used in tandem mode from birth, with the addition of an rumble seat. (PS249) If your child gets bored of the rumble chair you can change to one pram mode. You can also choose to use the car capsule adaptors to transform it from a newborn to toddler travel system. Another alternative is the Side by Side Pram from Babybee. The side-by-side double pram is available in a variety of colors and features an attractive modern style. Designed to be used right from the moment of birth, you can add the LUNA newborn Cocoon (PS262) and the LUNA Infant Seats (PS53 each). If you're looking for a sleek and stylish pushchair that converts into a side-by-side double, the Egg 2 from Chicco is a great option. It is available in a variety of infant and carrycots to accommodate twins or siblings with different age ranges. It's also easy to fold. It's also light, making it a good option for those with small cars or limited space to store. Convertible The best double prams and pushchairs are able to be used in multiple ways and some are able to change into different seating arrangements to meet your family's changing needs. You can fit up to three children on the seat board or two toddlers in the seats, while still having enough space to carry a shopping bag. Accessories such as rain covers are also available. Convertible double strollers are generally larger and heavier than single pushchairs because they are designed to accommodate 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 somewhat heavy for the money. Some convertible double strollers like the Baby Jogger City Select 2 come with a carrycot suitable for newborns. This allows the double stroller to be compacted and reduce in size when not being used. The City Select's innovative single-handed folding impressed our test subjects however it requires some practice. It's also very nimble and responsive, despite it being bigger than double strollers. The Cybex Mockingbird single-to-double stroller is another option that is reasonably priced. It converts from a rear-facing infant car seat to a forward-facing toddler car seat and the bassinet-style mode is a fantastic option for infants (although keep in mind that infants under 4 months old should never sleep in strollers because of the risk of asphyxia in a position). If you want more flexibility, consider a dual-mode convertible such as the iCandy Peach. This is a narrow double stroller that is able to accommodate two children at the same time. It can also be used to make a tandem by incorporating a second seat kit. It is agile and responsive, and our test users liked its sleek design. double buggy from birth Pushchairs And Prams 's not as lightweight like some of the other models we've reviewed, however it does come with a huge basket that's ideal for parents who have to carry bags filled with toys and groceries. 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 change from a single pushchair to a double pushchair by the addition of either a toddler seat or the brand's carrycot (which is suitable for overnight sleeping). Our test subjects were impressed by how comfortable the seats are and loved the fact that they can recline in a variety of positions, come with built-in leg and foot supports and have UPF 50+ canopies with peekaboo windows. The rear seat can also be raised to provide a standing platform for the older child to climb off and on, so that they can access items in the shopping basket. Cher said that the one negative aspect of the iCandy Peach was its weight. However, she felt this was offset because it is easy to move and comes with plenty of storage space with two cup holders for parents and children as well as seat-back pockets and a large basket under the seat. Cher also loved that the seats can be reversed so that they can be positioned to face each other, which is ideal for siblings who want to chat and have conversations when they are out and out and about. A lighter and equally impressive option is the Delta Children LX side-by-side stroller that weighs just 18 pounds, is extremely compact and features an auto-standing fold that makes it easy to transport and put in your trunk or at home. Parents love the quality of the materials and workmanship as well as the low price point. The only downsides are that the seats don't recline as much compared to other models we have tested and the rear seat is not as well-lit due to its position – it is raised higher than the first seat. Another popular option 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 is important to remember that despite their narrower design side by side prams remain more spacious than tandem and in-line doubles and can be tricky to navigate on busy streets or in shops. However, they're usually shorter too, so can be more maneuverable in tight spaces than tandems.
