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

Tandem prams (also known as "in-line" double prams) are a classic design with two seats or pram bassinets arranged side-by-side. The front seat is typically padded and reclines to a flat angle, making it suitable for infants, while the second seat is more upright and is able to accommodate toddlers as young as three years old. of age. Some models have seats that can be reversible, so you can decide if your children face one another or look at you. Many tandems can be converted into one pushchair when your oldest child is no longer required to have the second seat.
A tandem is less expensive than a twin pushchairs pram and can be a great option for parents looking to save money, but without losing safety or function. However, the drawback of a tandem is that it can be a bit heavy and lengthy to steer, especially when you're bumping up or down kerbs, and it is often less stable than a twin pram especially if the child with the most weight is seated in the front. A tandem can also be tricky to fit onto public transport and can be difficult to maneuver on narrow roads.
The iCandy Peach, a popular model that is focused on image, is a great alternative for a single parent who wants a sleeker design. However the tandem mode makes it feel long and heavy to push. It has a clever frame that expands widthways to allow the addition of the second seat, and can be used with multiple combinations of buggy seats, carrycots and car seats (two at a time or in separate). 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 pram or pushchair, there's a lot to think about. If you're buying a double pram for twins or siblings who are close in age there are a variety of configuration options to take into account. Tandem prams, 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 is able to sit in the bassinet in the middle while the older child or toddler is seated in the second seat.
Some models have reversible seats that let you customize the seating arrangement for your family throughout the infant and toddler years. This lets you see your children at all times and allows them to be a part of the journey as they walk.
Tandem prams are typically jogging buggies or all terrain double stroller-terrain ones, which means they're ideal for outdoor adventures and in the park. They're also a good choice if you need to brave narrow checkout aisles or isles in supermarkets as they are generally smaller than single-seaters.
The Redsbaby JIVE3 pram, for example can be used in tandem mode from birth, with the addition of an rumble seat. (PS249) You can then switch to the single mode once your baby gets used to the rumble seat or choose the car capsule adaptors (PS53) to turn it into a traveler from infant to toddler.
Another option is the Side by Side Pram from Babybee. This side-by-side double pram is available in a range of colours and has an elegant modern design. It is designed to be used from the moment of birth, you can add the LUNA Cocoon for newborns (PS262) and the LUNA Infant Seats (PS53 each).
If you're looking for a sleek and elegant pushchair that can convert into a double-sided side-by-side then the Egg 2 from Chicco is a great option. It's available in a variety of carrycot and infant seat configurations to accommodate twins or siblings of varying age groups and is easy to fold. It's also quite light making it an ideal choice for families who have small cars or only a little storage space.
Convertible
Some of the top double prams or pushchairs can be configured into different seats to meet your needs as they change. It is possible to 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. Convertible double buggy newborn strollers are generally larger and heavier than single pushchairs, as they need to hold two or more children. The Graco Modes Nest2Grow convertible is an example of a very affordable convertible that is simple to use. However, our reviewers thought it was quite heavy for the money.
Some convertible Foldable Double Stroller strollers, such as the Baby Jogger City Select 2 has a carrycot option that is suitable for infants. This allows the stokke double stroller stroller to be compacted and reduce in size when it is not used. Our test participants were awestruck by the City Select's clever one-handed fold. However, it does take some practice. It is also quite fluid and agile in spite of its size.
Another option that is reasonably priced is an affordable option is the Cybex Mockingbird Single-to-Double Stroller. The seat converts from a rear-facing infant car seat to a forward-facing toddler car seat, and the bassinet mode is a great option for infants (although remember that babies under four months old shouldn't be able to sleep in strollers due to the risk of asphyxia in a position).
For greater flexibility, opt for a dual-mode convertible like the iCandy Peach. This is a narrow double buggy which can accommodate two children side-by-side and can be used as a tandem with the addition of a second seat kit and rider board. It's responsive and agile, and our testers liked its sleek design. It's not quite as lightweight like some of the other models on our list, but it has a large basket that's ideal for parents carrying bags full of toys and other items.
Lightweight
Convertible double strollers are a great alternative for parents who have one child and are expecting the arrival of a second. The iCandy Peach allows you to transform from a single to a double pushchair, with the addition of either a toddler seat or the brand's optional carrycot (which is suitable for sleep overs). Our testers were pleased with how comfortable the seats are and love the fact that they both recline to different positions, have built-in leg and foot support and generous UPF 50+ canopy that has peekaboo windows. The rear seat can also be elevated to provide a a standing platform for a child to climb on and off, so that they can access items in the shopping basket.
Cher said that the only downside of the iCandy Peach was its weight. However, she felt this was offset because it is easy to maneuver and offers plenty of storage space and cup holders for children and parents seats-back pockets, as well as a large basket under the seat. She also appreciated the feature that the seats are reversible, so they can be positioned to face each other for siblings that want to talk and get together while out and about.
A lighter, but equally impressive option is the Delta Children LX side-by-side stroller that weighs just 18 lbs. It is compact and features a self-standing fold, making it easy to transport and put in your trunk or at home. Parents love the quality of materials and workmanship, as well as the affordable price. The only drawback is that the seats don't recline as much as some other models we've tried and the rear seat isn't as well-lit because of its position that is higher than the front seats.
The Joolz Geo 3 is another popular option. It is slim, sleek, easy to steer, and comes with a lifetime warranty. It's important to keep in mind that despite their narrower design Side by side prams are wider than tandem and in-line doubles. They may be difficult to navigate through busy streets or in shops. They're also shorter, making them easier to maneuver in tight spaces.
