A double pram can simplify the lives of families, particularly in bustling shopping centers or on busy streets. Select a model that offers plenty of storage space to store nappies snacks, nappies, and other essentials.

Some parents who are new to the family opt for an infant pushchair that can be used as a single stroller when baby is born, and later converted into a twin mode when the baby is old enough. Joolz offers a range of options.

Tandem

The news that you're about to have to have a baby is among the most exciting events in your life. When the excitement wears off and the reality of the situation sets in, you'll have to make a number of decisions regarding how to prepare your family for. 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 that have two bassinets or seats for prams arranged side by side. The front seat, which is usually cushioned, reclines and is suitable for newborns. The second seat is upright and designed to accommodate toddlers as young as three years. Some models have the option of reversible seating, which lets you choose whether your children face one another or look at you. Many tandems can be made into one pushchair once your oldest child is no longer required to have the second seat.

A tandem is less expensive than twin prams and is an excellent choice for parents looking to save money, without losing safety or function. However, one disadvantage of a tandem is that it can be a bit heavy and lengthy 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 sitting in the front. A tandem isn't always easy to fit on public transport, and it can be difficult to maneuver narrow pavements.

The iCandy Peach is a popular model with a strong image that's a great option for a single parent who wants something streamlined however the tandem mode can make it feel quite long and heavy when pushing. It comes with an expanded frame that increases 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 is another lightweight tandem option that is easy to use and compatible with a variety of car seats and carrycots.

Side by side

There are a lot of things to consider when choosing a double pram or pushchair. 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 a popular choices due to the fact that they can be configured so that the infant is able to sit in the bassinet on top while the toddler or older child is seated in the second seat.

double pram and pushchair have reversible seating which allow you to alter the seating arrangement for your family throughout the baby and toddler years. This allows you to keep your little ones always in your sights and gives them a chance to get to know each other as they stroll.

Tandem prams can be jogging buggies, or all-terrain buggies. They are ideal for outdoor excursions, such as to the park. These are also good for narrow aisles and checkouts in shops and supermarkets, as they are smaller.

The Redsbaby JIVE3 Pram, for instance can be used as a tandem pram starting from birth in the dual mode with the addition of the rumble seat (PS249). If your child is no longer a member of the rumble chair you can change to the single pram mode. You may also opt to use the adaptors for car capsules to transform it from a newborn into a toddler travel system.

Another option is the Side by Side Pram from Babybee. This double side-by-side pram comes in a variety of colors and is designed with a modern design. Designed to be used double pram pushchair from the moment of birth, you can choose to add the LUNA newborn cocoon (PS262) or the LUNA infant seats (PS53 each) to ensure your baby is safe and comfy.

The Egg 2 is a stylish sleek pushchair that can be transformed into a double side-byside. It's available in a range of infant seat and carrycot combinations to cater for twins or siblings of varying age groups. It's also easy to fold. It's also quite light, which makes it an ideal choice for families with small cars or limited storage space.

Convertible

The best double prams and pushchairs are versatile, and some are even able to change into different seating configurations to meet your family's changing needs. It is possible to fit up to three children on the seat board, or two toddlers in the seats, and still have enough space to carry a shopping bag. Accessories like rain covers are also available. In general, convertible double strollers are bigger and heavier than single pushchairs as they have to 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, but our testers thought it was a bit 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 helps to reduce the size of the double stroller when it is not being used and makes it smaller. Our test participants were awestruck by the City Select's unique one-handed fold, though it does take a bit of practice. It is also quite responsive and nimble even despite its size.

Another affordable option is an affordable option is the Cybex Mockingbird Single-to-Double Stroller. The seat converts from a car seat with a parent seat to a forward-facing toddler seat and the bassinet option is a great choice for infants (although keep in mind that infants under 4 months old should not be able to sleep in strollers due to the risk of positional asphyxia).

For more flexibility, look for a convertible with dual modes like the iCandy Peach. This is a narrow double stroller that is able to accommodate two children side-by-side. It can also be used to make a tandem by adding a second seat kit. It's responsive and agile and our test participants loved its sleek design. It's not as light as the other pushchairs we've reviewed however it does come with an ample shopping basket that is great for parents who carry bags of toys and groceries.

Lightweight

Convertible double strollers are an excellent option for parents who have a child and expect to have another. The iCandy Peach can be converted from a single pushchair into double by the addition of a toddler's seat or the brand's carrycot (which is great for sleeping at night). Our testers noted how comfortable the seats are and adore the fact that they can recline in a variety of positions, have built-in foot and leg supports and large UPF 50+ canopies with peekaboo windows. The rear seat can be raised high so that the older child 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 its ease to move around and how big the storage area is with two hanging child and parent cup holders as well as seat-back pockets, and an enormous underseat basket. Cher also liked that the seats can be turned to face each other. This is ideal for siblings who want to chat and have conversations when they are out and about.


The Delta Children LX Side-by-Side Stroller is a lighter option and still impressive. It weighs only 18 pounds, is small, and has an auto-standing fold, making it simple to transport or put in your trunk. Parents are impressed by the quality of the materials and craftsmanship as well as the low price point. The only negatives are that the seats don't recline as much compared to other models we've tried and the rear seat isn't as visible due to its location as it is higher than the front seat.

Another popular option is the Joolz Geo 3, which is slim, sleek and easy to steer, with an attractive design and a lifetime guarantee. Although they are narrower side-by-side prams may be more spacious than tandems and inline doubles. This makes them difficult to maneuver on busy streets and in shops. They're also shorter, making them more maneuverable in tight spaces.
