Choosing a double pram and pushchair (visit my webpage)
A good double pram or pushchair can simplify family life, especially on busy footpaths or in shops and stores. Look for a model with ample storage space for nappies, snacks, and other essentials.
Some first-time parents choose a pushchair that is future-proof and can be used both as a single stroller at the time baby is born, and converted to a twin mode when the baby is born. Joolz provides a variety of these options.
Tandem
The announcement that you are expecting a baby is one of the most exciting events in life. However, after the initial excitement wears off and reality begins to sink into your life, you'll be faced with a variety of choices regarding how to prepare your family for the arrival of your baby one or ones. One of the most important aspects to consider is choosing the correct pram or pushchair.
Tandem prams, also referred as "in-line" double prams, are a classic design with two bassinets or chairs placed side-by-side. The front seat is typically covered in padding and reclines to a flat angle, making it suitable for newborns while the second one is more upright and can be used by toddlers from around three years older. Some models have seats that can be reversible, so you can choose whether your children face towards each other or gaze at you. Many tandems can be converted to a single to double pushchair pushchair when your oldest child is no longer required to have the second seat.
A tandem is cheaper than twin prams and is an excellent choice for parents who want to save money, but without losing safety or function. A tandem can be heavy and difficult to steer, particularly when negotiating the kerbs. It is also less stable than twin prams particularly if a larger child is seated in the front. A tandem can be difficult to fit on public transportation, and it can be difficult to maneuver narrow pavements.
The iCandy Peach, a popular model that is focused on image, is a great alternative for parents who are single and want an elegant appearance. However, the tandem mode makes it feel heavy and long to push. It comes with a clever frame that expands in width to allow the addition of the second seat, and it is compatible with many combinations of buggy seats, carrycots and car seats (two at a time or separately). The iCandy Wave is another lightweight tandem option that is easy to use and compatible with a range of carrycots and car seats.
Side by side
When it comes time to choose a double pram or pushchair, there's a lot to think about. If you're buying for twins or siblings close in age there are a variety of configuration options to consider. Tandem prams (also called side by sides prams) are a popular choice because they can be configured to accommodate infants in a bassinet on top while the older infant or toddler sits in the seat below.
Some models even have convertible seats, which means you can modify the seating to suit your family's needs throughout the toddler and baby years. This lets you see your children at all times and allows them to be a part of the journey while they walk.
Tandem prams can be jogging buggies or all-terrain buggies. They are ideal for outdoor excursions, like to the park. They're also a great option for those who have to navigate narrow supermarket isles or checkouts as they're generally smaller than single-seaters.
The Redsbaby JIVE3 pram for example, can be used in tandem mode from birth, but with the addition of the Rumble seat. (PS249) When your child grows out of the rumble seat, you can change to one pram mode. You may also opt to use the car capsule adaptors to transform it from a newborn into a toddler travel system.
The Side by Side Pram from Babybee is another alternative. This double side-by-side pram comes in a range of colors and is designed with a contemporary style. The design is intended to be used from birth, you can also add the LUNA newborn cocoon (PS262) or the LUNA infant seats (PS53 each) to ensure your children are comfortable and safe.
The Egg 2 is a stylish sleek pushchair that can be transformed into a double side-by-side. It's available in a variety of infant and carrycots to accommodate twins or siblings with different ages. It's also incredibly easy to collapse. It's also fairly light, which makes it a great choice for those with smaller cars or a limited storage space.
Convertible
Some of the top double prams or pushchairs can be set up to meet your changing needs. It is possible to 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 such as rain covers is a benefit. Convertible double strollers are generally heavier and larger than single pushchairs due to the fact that they have to hold two or more children. The Graco Modes Nest2Grow convertible is an example of an affordable convertible that is easy to use. However, our testers found it to be somewhat heavy for the price.
Some double strollers that can be converted into convertibles like the Baby Jogger City Select 2 include a carrycot suitable for infants. This allows the double stroller to be compacted and reduce in size when not used. Our testers were impressed with the City Select's innovative one-handed fold, though it requires some time to master. It's also very nimble and agile, despite being larger than other double strollers.
Another 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 option 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).
If you're looking to expand your options, consider a dual-mode convertible such as the iCandy Peach. It's a small double buggy that can hold two children side-by-side and can be used as a tandem with the addition of a second seat kit and rider board. It is responsive and nimble 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 is useful for parents who have to carry bags of toys and groceries.
Lightweight
Some parents want to ensure the future of their double pushchair if they have one child and are expecting another and a convertible model is a good option. The iCandy Peach can be converted from a single pushchair double with the addition of a toddler seat or the brand's carrycot (which is great for overnight sleeping). Our test subjects were impressed by the comfort of the seats and adore the fact that both recline to different positions, have built-in foot and leg supports and large UPF 50+ canopies with windows that peek out. The rear seat can also be elevated to provide a a standing platform for a child to get off and on, to allow them to reach things in the basket of groceries.
The only issue with the iCandy Peach is that it is quite heavy, but Cher believed that it was offset by how easy it is to maneuver and how large the storage is with two hanging child and parent cup holders as well as seat-back pockets, and a large underseat basket. She also liked the fact that the seats are convertible, which means they can be positioned to face each other for siblings that want to talk and interact while out and out and about.
A lighter and equally impressive choice is the Delta Children LX side-by-side stroller that weighs just 18 pounds, is extremely compact and has a self-standing fold, making it easy to transport and store in your trunk or at home. Parents appreciate the high-quality materials and workmanship, and the cost. The only issue is that the seats don't recline as much as the other models we've tried and the rear seat isn't very well-lit due to its position as it's higher than the front seat.
Another popular choice is the Joolz Geo 3, which is slim sleek, stylish and easy to steer, with an attractive design and lifetime guarantee. Although they are smaller, side-by-side prams can still be wider than tandems and inline doubles. This can make them difficult to maneuver around busy footpaths and in shops. They're also shorter, making them more maneuverable in tight spaces.
