Choosing a Double Pram and pushchair twin

A double pram can make life easier for families, particularly in bustling shops or on busy streets. Choose a model with ample storage space to store nappies, snacks and other essentials.

Some first-time parents opt for a future-proof pushchair that can be used as a single pram when baby is born, and later transformed into a Leila 1+1 Twin Pushchair: Lightweight Tandem Stroller for Twins, moved here,-mode once he or she has arrived. 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 moments in your life. After the excitement wears off and the reality of the situation kicks in, you'll have to make a number of decisions regarding how to prepare your family. One of the most important considerations is choosing the correct pram or pushchair.

Tandem prams (also known as 'in-line' double prams) are a timeless design with two bassinets or seats for prams arranged side by side. The front seat, which is typically cushioned, reclines flat and is suitable for babies. The second seat is a bit higher and designed to fit toddlers as young as 3 years. Certain models let you decide if your children will look at each other or outwards. Many tandems also have the option of being converted into a single pushchair if you decide your oldest child doesn't require the second seat.

In terms of cost the tandem is cheaper than a twin pushchair, and can be a great choice for parents looking to save money without compromising on safety or convenience. A tandem can be a bit heavy and difficult to steer, especially when bumping over curbs. It's also less stable than twin pushchairs, especially if an older child is seated in the front. A tandem isn't always easy to fit on public transport, and it may be difficult to maneuver narrow pavements.

The iCandy Peach, a popular model with a focus on image, is a fantastic alternative for parents who are single and want an attractive design. However the tandem mode can make it feel long and heavy to push. It features a clever frame that expands in width to accommodate the second seat, and can be used with a variety of combinations of carrycots, buggy seats and car seats (two at a time or separately). The iCandy Wave tandem is another lightweight option that is easy to use and compatible with a range of car seats and carrycots.

Side by side

When it comes to choosing a double pram or pushchair there's plenty to consider. If you're buying a double pram 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 sides prams) are a popular choice since they can be arranged to accommodate infants with a bassinet on the top, while the larger toddler or infant sits in the seat below.

Some models have reversible seats that allow you to customize the configuration for your family during the baby and toddler years. This will allow you to keep your kids in sight at all times and also gives them the an opportunity to interact with each other as they stroll.

Tandem prams can be jogging buggies, or all-terrain buggies. They are perfect for outdoor excursions, such as to the park. They're also a good choice when you have to traverse narrow aisles in the supermarket or at checkouts, as they are generally more compact than single-seaters.

The Redsbaby JIVE3 Pram, for instance can be used as a tandem pram from birth in the dual mode with the addition of the rumble seat (PS249). Then, you can change to a single pram mode when your little one grows out of the rumble seat, or use the adaptors for car capsules (PS53) to transform it into a travel system from newborn to toddler.

Another alternative is the Side by Side Pram from Babybee. This double pram side-by-side is available in a variety of colors and comes with an elegant modern design. It is 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 children are 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 variety of carrycots and infant seats to accommodate twins or siblings of different age ranges. It's also easy to fold. It's also quite light, which makes it a great choice for those with small cars or limited storage space.

Convertible

The best double prams and pushchairs are able to be used in multiple ways, and some are even capable of changing seat configurations to suit your changing family needs. You can accommodate up to three children on the seat board, or two toddlers in the seats, with enough space to carry shopping bags. Accessories like rain covers are also available. In general, convertible double strollers are bigger and heavier than single pushchairs because they must be able to hold two or more children. The Graco Modes Nest2Grow is one instance of a low-cost convertible that is extremely user-friendly, however our test subjects felt it was a bit heavy for the price.

Some convertible double strollers, such as the Baby Jogger City Select 2 has a carrycot option which is suitable for babies. This helps to reduce the size of the double stroller when not in use, and makes it smaller. The City Select's clever folding system that is one-handed impressed our testers however it requires some practice. It also feels quite nimble and responsive, despite it being bigger than other double strollers.

The Cybex Mockingbird single-to-double stroller is another affordable option. The seat converts from a rear-facing infant car seat to a forward-facing toddler car seat, and the bassinet mode is a fantastic option for infants (although keep in mind that infants under 4 months old should never use strollers to sleep due to the risk of positional asphyxia).

If you're looking to expand your options look into a convertible with dual modes such as the iCandy Peach. It's a small double buggy which can accommodate two 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 models we've reviewed, but it comes with a big basket that's ideal for parents who are carrying bags of toys and food items.

Lightweight

Convertible double strollers are a great alternative for parents who have a child and expect the arrival of a second. The iCandy Peach can be converted from a single pushchair to double by the addition of a toddler's seat or the brand's carrycot (which works well for sleeping at night). Our testers were pleased with how comfortable the seats are and love the fact that can recline in a variety of positions, come with built-in foot and leg supports and generous UPF 50+ canopy that has peekaboo windows. The rear seat can be raised high to allow the child of a higher age can stand on it to reach the shopping basket.

The only downside to the iCandy Peach is that it is quite heavy. However, Cher felt it was balanced by how easy it is to maneuver and how large the storage space is equipped with two hanging parent and child cup holders, seat-back pockets and a large underseat basket. Cher also appreciated the feature that the seats are convertible, which means they can be positioned to face each other for siblings that want to talk and get together while out and about.

A lighter and equally impressive choice is the Delta Children LX side-by-side stroller that weighs just 18 lbs, is super compact and has a self-standing fold that makes it easy to carry and store in your trunk or at home. Parents love the quality of materials and workmanship, and the affordable price. The only downsides are that the seats do not recline as much as other models we have tested and the rear seat is not as prominent due to its position as it is higher than the first seat.

Another popular choice is the Joolz Geo 3, which is slim, sleek and easy to steer, and comes with an appealing design and a lifetime guarantee. It's worth bearing in mind that, despite their slimmer design side by side prams remain larger than tandems and in-line doubles. They can be difficult to navigate on busy footpaths or in stores. However, they're generally shorter too, so are easier to maneuver in tight spaces than tandems.
