Choosing a double pram and pushchair, click through the next article,

A double pram can simplify the lives of families, particularly in busy shops or on busy streets. Choose a model with generous storage space for stowing nappies, snacks and other essentials.

Some parents who are new to the family opt for a future-proof pushchair that can be used as a single stroller when baby is born, and later changed into a twin mode once he or she has arrived. Joolz provides a variety of these options.

Tandem

The announcement that you're expecting a baby is among the most exciting events in life. When the excitement wears off and the reality of the situation begins to set in, you will be faced with a variety of options for how to prepare your family. One of the most important considerations is choosing the correct pram or pushchair.

Tandem prams (also called "in-line" double prams) are a timeless design that have two bassinets or seats for prams arranged side-by-side. The front seat is usually cushioned 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 let you choose whether your children look at each other or outwards. Many tandems have the option to convert into a single pushchair when you decide that your oldest child doesn't require the second seat.

In terms of price, a tandem is much cheaper than a twin buggy from birth pushchair and is a great option for parents who want to save money, but not compromise on safety or function. However, the drawback of a tandem is that it could feel long and heavy to steer especially when moving up and down kerbs. It is usually less stable than a twin pushchair, particularly if the older child is sitting in the front. A tandem isn't always easy to fit on public transport, and it may be difficult to navigate narrow pavements.

The iCandy Peach is a popular model with a strong image that's a great choice for a singleton parent looking for a sleeker design however the tandem mode can make it feel long and heavy when pushing. It comes with a clever frame that can be expanded to accommodate the second seat, and it can be used with multiple combinations of carrycots, buggy chairs and car seats (two at once or separately). The iCandy Wave is another lightweight tandem option that's easy to use and compatible with a range of carrycots and car seats.

Side by side

When it comes to choosing a double stroller with infant car seat pushchair or pram there's plenty to consider. If you're buying for twins or siblings close in age there are a variety of configuration choices to think about. Tandem prams (also called side by side prams) are popular choices as they can be configured to accommodate infants in a bassinet at the top, while the larger toddler or infant is in the lower seat below.

Some models even have convertible seats, which means you can modify the seating to suit your family's needs throughout the baby and toddler years. This allows you to keep your children always in your sight and gives them a chance to interact with one another as they walk.

Tandem prams are often jogging buggies or all-terrain ones which makes them ideal for outdoor adventures and in the park. They're also ideal for narrow aisles or checkouts in supermarkets and shops, as they are more compact.

The Redsbaby JIVE3 Pram, for example, can be used as a tandem pram starting from birth in dual mode, with the addition of the rumble seat (PS249). If your child gets bored of the rumble chair, you can change to a single pram mode. You can also opt to make use of the car capsule adaptors to convert it from a newborn to toddler travel system.

Another option is the Side by Side Pram from Babybee. The side-by-side double pram is available in a range of colours and has an elegant modern 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).

The Egg 2 is a stylish sleek pushchair that can be converted into a double side-byside. It's available in a range of infant and carrycot combinations to accommodate twins or siblings of different age groups and is easy to fold. It's also fairly light, which makes it a great choice for those with small cars or limited storage space.

Convertible

The top double prams and pushchairs can be used in a variety of ways and some are able to change into different seating arrangements to meet the changing needs of your family. It is possible to fit up to three children on the seat board, or two toddlers in the seats with room for a shopping bag. Accessories such as rain covers are also available. Most convertible double strollers are bigger and heavier than single pushchairs as they must be able to hold two or more children. The Graco Modes Nest2Grow convertible is an example of a very inexpensive convertible that is very easy to use. However, our reviewers considered it to be quite 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 newborns. This helps to reduce the size of the double stroller when it is not in use, and makes it smaller. Our testers were impressed with 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.

The Cybex Mockingbird single-to-double tandem pushchair stroller is another affordable option. The seat can be transformed from a child-facing car seat to an forward-facing toddler seat. The bassinet-style mode makes it a great option for infants.

If you're looking to expand your options, consider a dual-mode convertible such as the iCandy Peach. It's a compact double stroller that is able to accommodate two children in a tandem. It can also be used to make a tandem by adding a second seating kit. It's nimble and responsive and our testers loved its sleek design. It's not as light as some of the other pushchairs on our list however, it comes with an enormous shopping basket that is handy for parents carrying bags of toys and food.

Lightweight

Some parents prefer to secure their double buggy if they have a child and are expecting another, so a convertible option is a good option. The iCandy Peach can be converted from a single pushchair to a double with the addition of a toddler seat or the brand's carrycot (which is ideal for overnight sleeping). The seats are extremely comfortable and our testers love that they can recline in a variety of positions. They also like the fact that the canopy has a peekaboo window and UPF 50+ protection. The rear seat can be elevated to provide a a standing platform for a child to get off and on to allow them to reach items in the basket of groceries.

Cher said that the only downside of the iCandy Peach was its weight. But she felt this was offset by the fact that it is easy to maneuver and offers plenty of storage space with two cup holders for parents and children as well as seat-back pockets and an enormous basket underneath the seat. Cher also appreciated the feature that the seats are reversible, so they can be positioned to face each other for siblings who want to chat and interact together while out and about.

The Delta Children LX Side-by-Side Stroller is a lighter option however, it is still awe-inspiring. It weighs only 18 pounds, is lightweight and features a self standing fold, making it easy to transport or store in your trunk. Parents appreciate the quality of the materials and craftsmanship as well as the low price point. The only drawbacks are that the seats don't recline as much compared to other models we've tested and the rear seat isn't as prominent due to its position as it is higher than the first seat.

The Joolz Geo 3 is another popular choice. It's slim, sleek and easy to steer and has an unbeatable lifetime warranty. It's worth bearing in mind that, despite their slimmer design, side by side prams are still wider than tandem and in-line doubles. They can be difficult to navigate through busy streets or in shops. They are also smaller and therefore easier to maneuver in tight spaces.
