Choosing a Double Pram and Pushchair
A good double pram or pushchair will simplify family life, especially when walking on busy roads or in stores and shops. Pick a model with ample storage space for nappies as well as snacks and other necessities.
Some parents who are new to the family opt for a future-proof pushchair that can be used as a single pram once baby is born, and later changed into a twin mode once he or she is old enough. Joolz offers a wide range of choices.
Tandem
The announcement that you are expecting a baby is among the most exciting events in life. When the excitement wears off and the reality of the situation kicks in, you will have to make a number of choices regarding how to prepare your family for. One of the most important things to consider is choosing the best pram or pushchair.
Tandem prams, also known as "in-line" double prams are a classic design that has two bassinets or seats placed side-by-side. The front seat is typically covered in padding and reclines to a flat angle, making it suitable for babies, while the second seat is more upright and can accommodate toddlers as young as three years old. older. Certain models feature the option of reversible seating, which lets you choose to have your children face each other or look out at you. Many tandems can be converted into a single pushchair when your oldest child is no longer required to have the second seat.
A tandem is cheaper than twin prams and is an ideal choice for parents looking to save money, but without losing safety or function. However, a drawback of a tandem is that it could be heavy and long to steer especially when moving up and down kerbs. Additionally, it is often less stable than a twin pram particularly if the older child is sitting in the front. A tandem can also be tricky to fit onto public transport and can be difficult to maneuver on narrow pavements.
The iCandy Peach, a popular model that is focused on image, is a great option for parents who are single and want a sleeker design. However the tandem mode makes it feel long and heavy to push. It has an innovative frame that can be expanded to allow for the addition of the second seat, and is compatible with many combinations of carrycots, buggy chairs and car seats (two at once or separately). The iCandy Wave tandem is another lightweight option that's easy-to-use and compatible with a variety of carrycots or 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 to choose from, whether you're buying for twins or close-in-age siblings. Tandem prams, referred to as side-by-side prams, are popular choices because they can be configured so that the infant can sit in the bassinet at the top while the toddler or older child is sitting in the second seat.
Some models have reversible seats which allow you to alter the layout of your family members throughout the baby and toddler years. This allows you to see your children at all times, and gives them the chance to interact when they walk.
Tandem prams are typically jogging or all-terrain buggies that is why they're great for outdoor adventures and in the park. They're also a great option for those who have to navigate narrow checkout aisles or isles in supermarkets, 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 dual mode, with the addition of the rumble seat (PS249). If your child is no longer a member of the rumble chair you can switch to one pram mode. You may also opt to use the adaptors for car capsules to convert it from a newborn to 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 in a contemporary design. Designed to be used right from birth, you can also include the LUNA Cocoon for newborns (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 an excellent choice. It is available in a variety of infant seats and carrycots to accommodate twins or siblings of different age ranges. It's also incredibly easy to collapse. It is also relatively light and compact, making it a great option for people with little space in their cars or don't have enough space for storage.
Convertible
The best double prams and pushchairs are versatile, and some are even able to change into different seating arrangements to meet your changing family needs. You can fit up to three children on the seat board or two toddlers in the seats, while still having room for shopping bags. Accessories such as rain covers are also available. Convertible double strollers are generally heavier and larger than single pushchairs because they need to hold two or more children. The Graco Modes Nest2Grow is one example of an affordable convertible that is user-friendly, but our testers felt that it was a little heavy for the money.
Some double strollers that convert into convertibles, such as the Baby Jogger City Select 2 come with a carrycot suitable for newborns. This allows the double stroller to be compacted and reduced in size when not being used. Our testers were impressed with the City Select's clever one-handed fold. However, it does take some practice. It's also very nimble and responsive, despite being bigger than other double strollers.
The Cybex Mockingbird single-to-double stroller is another affordable option. The seat can be converted from a parent-facing infant car seat to a forward-facing toddler seat. The bassinet-style mode is a great option for infants.
If you want more flexibility Consider a convertible that has dual modes like the iCandy Peach. This is a narrow double buggy that can fit two children side-by-side, but it can also be used as a tandem by the addition of a second-seat kit and rider board. It is agile and agile, and our testers were impressed by its sleek design. It's not as light as some of the other pushchairs on our list however, it comes with an ample shopping basket that is handy for parents carrying bags full of toys and food.
Lightweight
Some parents prefer to secure their double buggy if they have one child and are expecting another and a convertible model is an excellent choice. The iCandy Peach can be converted from a single pushchair double with the addition of a toddler's seat, or the brand's carrycot (which is ideal to sleep at night). The seats are very comfortable and our testers appreciate the fact that they can recline in multiple positions. They also like the design of the canopy, which has a peekaboo window and UPF 50+ protection. 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, but Cher believed that it was overcome by its ease to move around and how big the storage space is equipped with two hanging parent and child cup holders, seat-back pockets and a large underseat storage basket. Cher also loved that seats can be flipped so that they face each other. This is ideal for siblings who want to chat and have conversations when they are out and out and about.
A lighter-weight but just as impressive choice is the Delta Children LX side-by-side stroller that weighs only 18 lbs, is super 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 negatives are that the seats do not recline as well as other models we've tried and the rear seat isn't as visible due to its location and height. It is higher than the front seat.
Another popular option 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. Although they are narrower than side-by-side strollers, they can be more spacious than tandems and inline doubles. This can make them difficult to maneuver around busy footpaths and in shops. They're also shorter which makes them easier to maneuver in tight spaces.
