Choosing a Double Pram and Pushchair A well-designed double pram or pushchair will simplify the lives of families, especially when walking on busy roads or in shops and stores. Choose a model with generous storage space for stowing nappies, snacks and other essentials. Some parents who are first-time parents choose an infant pushchair that can be used as a single stroller when baby is born. It can be changed into a twin mode when the baby has arrived. Joolz offers a wide range of choices. Tandem The announcement that you are expecting a baby is among life's most exciting moments. When the excitement wears off and the reality of the situation sets in, you'll be faced with a variety of choices regarding how you can prepare your family. One of the most important considerations is choosing the right pram or pushchair. Tandem prams, also known as “in-line” double prams, are a classic style with two bassinets or chairs placed side by side. The front seat is typically cushioned and reclines to a flat position, making it suitable for babies and the second seat is more upright and can accommodate toddlers as young as three years old. older. Some models let you decide if your children will look at each other or face each other. Many tandems have the option to convert into a single pushchair if you decide that your oldest child no longer needs the second seat. A tandem is cheaper than a twin pram and can be a great option for parents who wish to save money, but without compromising safety or functionality. However, the drawback of a tandem is that it could be heavy and long to steer, especially when you're bumping up or down kerbs, and it is often less stable than a twin pushchair, especially if the child who is older is sitting in the front. A tandem can also be tricky to transport on public transport and is difficult to maneuver on narrow pavements. The iCandy Peach, a popular model that focuses on image, is a fantastic option for parents with one child who want an attractive appearance. However the tandem mode makes it feel a bit heavy and long to push. It has an innovative frame that expands in width to accommodate the second seat, and is compatible with many combinations of carrycots, buggy seats and car seats (two at once or separately). The iCandy Wave tandem is another lightweight option that is easy to use and compatible with a variety of carrycots or car seats. Side by side When it comes to selecting a double pram or pushchair, there's a lot to consider. There are a variety of 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 options because they can be set up in a way that the infant can sit in the bassinet at the top while the toddler or older child is sitting in the second seat. Certain models come with reversible seats that let you customize the seating arrangement for your family throughout the toddler and baby years. This lets you keep your children in sight at all times and also gives them a chance to interact with each other while they walk. Tandem prams are usually all-terrain buggies or jogging ones that is why they're great for outdoor excursions and the park. They're also a good choice if you need to brave narrow supermarket isles or checkouts because they tend to be smaller than single-seaters. The Redsbaby JIVE3 Pram, for instance can be used as a tandem pram starting from birth in the dual mode by adding the use 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 adaptors for car capsules to transform it from a newborn to toddler travel system. Another alternative is the Side by Side Pram from Babybee. This double side-byside pram comes in a variety of colours and is designed in a contemporary style. 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 your little ones are comfortable and safe. If you're seeking a sleek, elegant pushchair that can be converted into a double-sided side-by-side then the Egg 2 from Chicco is an excellent choice. It's available in a variety of carrycots and infant seats to accommodate twins or siblings of different age groups. It is also super-easy to fold. It's also fairly light, which makes it an ideal option for those who have small cars or only a little storage space. Convertible Some of the top double pushchairs or prams can be set up to meet your needs as they change. There is the possibility of fitting 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 ability to add accessories such as rain covers is a benefit. Convertible double strollers are generally larger and heavier than single pushchairs, as they are designed to accommodate two or more children. The Graco Modes Nest2Grow is one example of a convertible that is affordable that is extremely easy to use, although our test subjects felt it was a little heavy for the money. Some convertible double strollers like the Baby Jogger City Select 2 comes with a carrycot which is suitable for babies. This allows the double stroller to be folded down and reduced in size when not being used. The City Select's clever, one-handed folding impressed our testers however it requires some time to master. It is also quite fluid and agile, despite its size. The Cybex Mockingbird single-to-double stroller is another option that is reasonably priced. It can be transformed from a parent facing infant car seat to a forward-facing toddler seat. The bassinet-style mode makes it a great option for infants. For greater flexibility, opt for a convertible that has dual modes such as the iCandy Peach. It's a compact double buggy that can fit 2 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 testers liked its sleek design. It's not as light as some of the other pushchairs we've reviewed, but it offers an enormous shopping basket that is ideal for parents with bags full of groceries and toys. Lightweight Some parents prefer to secure their double buggy when they have one child and are expecting another so a convertible option is a good option. The iCandy Peach allows you to change from a single pushchair to a double pushchair by the addition of a toddler seat or the brand's optional carrycot (which is suitable for sleeping at night). Our test subjects were impressed by how comfortable the seats are and love the fact that they can recline in a variety of positions, have built-in leg and foot support and generous UPF 50+ canopy that has peekaboo windows. The rear seat can also be lifted high to offer an elevated platform for a child to climb off and on so that they can reach items in the basket of groceries. Cher said that the only disadvantage of the iCandy Peach was its weight. But she felt this was offset because it is easy to move and comes with plenty of storage space with two cup holders for parents and their children as well as seat-back pockets and a large basket underneath the seat. Cher also appreciated that seats can be flipped so that they can be positioned to face each other, which is perfect for siblings who want to interact and talk when out and about. A lighter-weight but just as impressive option is the Delta Children LX side-by-side stroller that weighs only 18 lbs, is super compact and features a self-standing fold, making it easy to carry and store in your trunk or at home. Parents appreciate the quality of the materials and workmanship and the affordable price. The only drawbacks are that the seats don't recline as much compared to other models we have tested and the rear seat isn't as prominent due to its position and height. double seat stroller is higher than the first seat. Another popular option is the Joolz Geo 3, which is slim sleek, stylish and easy to steer, and comes with an attractive design and lifetime guarantee. It's worth bearing in mind that, despite their slimmer design Side by side prams remain wider than tandem and in-line doubles. They can be difficult to navigate on busy streets or in shops. However, they're generally shorter, which means they can be easier to turn in tight spaces than tandems.
