Choosing a Double Pram and Pushchair
A double single pushchair pram can simplify the lives of families, particularly in bustling shopping centers or on busy streets. Choose a model that has ample storage space to store nappies as well as snacks and other essentials.

Tandem
The announcement that you are expecting a child is among life's most exciting moments. Once the excitement has worn off and the reality of the situation sets in, you'll be faced with a variety of decisions regarding how you can prepare your family. The right pram or stroller is among the most important things to consider.
Tandem prams, also known as "in-line" double prams, are a classic design that has two bassinets or chairs placed side by side. The front seat, which is typically padded, reclines flat and is suitable for infants. The second seat is a bit higher and designed to accommodate toddlers as young as 3 years old. Certain models let you decide if your children will look at each other or look outwards. Many tandems also have the option of converting into a single pushchair when you decide that your oldest child does not require the second seat.
In terms of price the tandem is cheaper than a twin pushchair, and is a great option for parents who want to save money, but not compromise on safety or convenience. A tandem can be a bit heavy and difficult to steer, particularly when bumping over the kerbs. It's also less stable than twin prams particularly if a larger child is riding in the front. A tandem can be difficult to place on public transportation, and it can be difficult to navigate narrow roads.
The iCandy Peach is a popular image-conscious model that's a great choice for a single parent who wants something streamlined however, the tandem mode can make it feel quite heavy and long when pushing. It features a clever frame that can be expanded to allow for the addition of the second seat, and it can be used with multiple combinations of buggy seats, carrycots and car seats (two at a time or in separate). The iCandy Wave is another lightweight tandem option that's easy to use and compatible with a range of car seats and carrycots.
Side by side
There are many things to consider when choosing a double pram or pushchair. There are a variety of configuration options available, whether you're buying for twins or close-in-age siblings. Tandem prams, also referred to as side-by-side prams are popular choices due to the fact that they can be set up in a way that the infant can be seated in the bassinet at the top while the older child or toddler is sitting in the second chair.
Some models have reversible seats that let you customize the configuration for your family members throughout the infant and toddler years. This allows you to see your children at all times, and allows them to connect with them when they walk.
Tandem prams are jogging buggies as well as all-terrain buggies. They are great for outdoor excursions, such as to the park. They're also a good choice if you need to brave narrow supermarket isles or checkouts, as they tend to be smaller 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 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.
The Side by Side Pram made by Babybee is a different alternative. This side-by-side double pram is available in a range of colors and comes with an elegant modern design. The design is intended 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 children are safe and comfy.

You can fit up to three children on the seat board, or two toddlers in the seats, while still having room for a shopping bag. Accessories like rain covers are also available. Most convertible double strollers are larger and heavier than single pushchairs as they have to be able to accommodate two or more children. The Graco Modes Nest2Grow is one example of an affordable convertible that is 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, have a carrycot option which is suitable for newborns. This helps to reduce the size of the double stroller when not in use and makes it more compact. Our testers were impressed with the City Select's clever one-handed fold, although it requires a bit of practice. It's also very nimble and agile, despite being larger than other double strollers.
Another option that is affordable is an option that is affordable is the Cybex Mockingbird Single-to-Double Stroller. It can be transformed from a parent-facing infant car seat to an forward-facing toddler seat. The bassinet-style mode is a great choice for infants.
For more flexibility, look for a convertible that has dual modes like the iCandy Peach. This is a narrow double buggy that can fit two children in a row 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 test participants loved its sleek design. It's not as light as the other pushchairs in our list, but it offers an enormous shopping basket that is ideal for parents with bags of toys and groceries.
Lightweight
Convertible double strollers are a great alternative for parents who have children and anticipate the arrival of a second. The iCandy Peach allows you to change from a single pushchair to a double pushchair, with the addition of a toddler seat or the brand's optional carrycot (which is suitable for overnight sleeping). The seats are extremely comfortable and our test subjects love the fact that they can recline in multiple positions. They also appreciate the fact that the canopy has a window that peeks out and offers UPF 50+ protection. The rear seat can be raised high so that the older child can stand on it to reach the basket of shopping.
The only drawback of the iCandy Peach is that it is quite heavy, however Cher believed that it was overcome by how easy it is to manoeuvre and how spacious the storage space is with two hanging child and parent cup holders as well as seat-back pockets, and a large underseat basket. Cher also liked that seats can be flipped so that they face each other, which is ideal for siblings who want to interact and talk while 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 a self-standing fold that makes it easy to transport and put in your trunk or at home. Parents appreciate the high-quality materials and workmanship, and the low cost. The only drawback is that the seats don't recline as far as other models we've examined and the rear seat isn't very well-lit due to its position as it's higher than the front seats.
Another popular option is the Joolz Geo 3, which is slim, sleek and easy to steer, and comes with an appealing design and a lifetime guarantee. It's worth bearing in mind that despite their narrower design side by side prams are still wider than tandem and in-line doubles. They may be difficult to navigate through crowded footpaths or in shops. They are also smaller which makes them more maneuverable in tight spaces.
