Choosing a double pram and pushchair (their website)

A double pram can make life easier for families, particularly in busy stores or on busy streets. Select a model that offers ample storage space for nappies snacks, nappies, and other essentials.

Some first-time parents opt for a future-proof pushchair that can be used as a single stroller when baby is born, and later converted into a twin mode once he or she is born. Joolz has a variety of choices.

Tandem

The announcement that you're expecting the birth of a child is one of the most exciting events in your life. However, after the initial excitement wears off and the reality sets in, you could be faced with a myriad of decisions about how to prepare your family for the arrival of your new one or ones. The proper stroller or pram is one of the most important considerations.

Tandem prams, also referred as "in-line" double prams are a classic design with two seats or bassinets placed side by side. The front seat, which is usually cushioned, reclines and is suitable for newborns. The second seat is more upright and designed to accommodate toddlers as young as three years. Some models have reversible seating so you can decide if 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 a twin pram and is a great option for parents who wish to save money, but without losing safety or function. A tandem can be a bit heavy and difficult to steer, particularly when negotiating curbs. It is also less stable than twin prams especially when a bigger child is riding in the front. A tandem isn't always easy to fit on public transport, and it can be difficult to navigate narrow roads.

The iCandy Peach, a popular model with a focus on image, is a fantastic alternative for parents who are single and want an attractive style. However, the tandem mode makes it feel long and heavy to push. It features a clever frame that can be expanded to allow for the addition of the second seat, and it can be used with a variety of combinations of carrycots, buggy chairs and car seats (two at a time 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 pram or pushchair, there's a lot to consider. There are a variety of configuration options available, whether you're purchasing for twins or close-in-age siblings. Tandem prams (also known as side by side prams) are popular choices as they can be set up to accommodate infants with a bassinet on the top, while the older toddler or infant sits in the 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 also gives them the chance to interact with each other while they walk.

Tandem prams are jogging buggies as well as all-terrain buggies. They are great for outdoor excursions, like to the park. They're also a good option if you need to brave narrow checkout aisles or isles in supermarkets because they're generally smaller than single-seaters.

The Redsbaby JIVE3 pram, for instance, can be utilized in tandem mode from birth, with the addition of a rumble seat. (PS249) You can then change to a single pram mode when your little one is old enough to leave the rumble seat, or use the adaptors for car capsules (PS53) to transform it into a travel system for infant to toddler.

The Side by Side Pram from Babybee is another option. This double side-byside pram comes in a variety of colours and is designed with a modern style. Designed to be used right from the moment of birth, you can add the LUNA newborn Cocoon (PS262) and the LUNA Infant Seats (PS53 each).

The Egg 2 is a stylish elegant pushchair that can be transformed into a double side by side. It is available in a variety of carrycots and infant seats to accommodate twins or siblings of different age groups. It's also easy to fold. It is also relatively light, making it a good option for people with little space in their cars or don't have enough space to store.

Convertible

Some of the best double pushchairs or prams can be set up to meet your needs as they change. There is the possibility of fitting two toddlers in seats or a third child on the seat board and have enough space for a basket to store your shopping, and the ability to add additional accessories such as rain covers is another plus. Convertible double strollers double strollers tend to be heavier and larger than single pushchairs, as they have to hold two or more children. The Graco Modes Nest2Grow is one example of a convertible that is affordable that is user-friendly, but our testers felt that it was a little heavy for its price.

Some convertible double strollers, like the Baby Jogger City Select 2 has a carrycot option which is suitable for newborns. This allows the double seat stroller stroller to be folded down and reduced in size when not used. The City Select's clever single-handed folding impressed our test participants, but it takes some time to master. It's also quite agile and agile, despite being larger than double strollers.

The Cybex Mockingbird single-to-double stroller is an alternative that is affordable. It converts from a parent-facing infant car seat to a forward-facing toddler seat, and the bassinet mode is a great choice for infants (although remember that babies under 4 months old should not be able to sleep in strollers double strollers due to the risk of positional asphyxia).

For more flexibility, look for a dual-mode convertible like the iCandy Peach. It's a compact double buggy which can accommodate two children side-by-side however it can also be used as a tandem, with 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 the other pushchairs on our list however, it comes with an ample shopping basket that is great for parents who carry bags full of toys and groceries.

Convertible double strollers are an excellent option for parents who have a child and expect the arrival of a second. The iCandy Peach can be converted from a single pushchair to cheap double pushchair with the addition of a toddler's seat or the brand's carrycot (which is ideal to sleep at night). The seats are extremely comfortable and our testers appreciate the fact that they can recline in various positions. They also appreciate the feature that the canopy comes with a window that peeks out and offers UPF 50+ protection. The rear seat can also be lifted high to offer a standing platform for the child to get off and on, to allow them to reach items in the basket of groceries.

Cher said that the only disadvantage of the iCandy Peach was its weight. But she felt that this was compensated for because it is easy to move and offers plenty of storage space with two cup holders for parents and their children, seat-back pockets, and a large basket under the seat. Cher also liked that seats can be flipped so that they be positioned to face each other, which is great for siblings who love to talk and interact when out and about.

A lighter, but equally impressive choice is the Delta Children LX side-by-side stroller that weighs only 18 pounds, is extremely compact and features a self-standing fold, making it easy to transport and put in your trunk or at home. Parents appreciate the quality of the materials and workmanship and the price is low. The only downsides are that the seats don't recline as much compared to other models we have tested and the rear seat is not as well-lit due to its location - it is raised higher than the first seat.

The Joolz Geo 3 is another popular choice. It is slim, sleek, and easy to steer, and comes with a lifetime warranty. It is important to remember that, despite their slimmer design, side by side prams remain larger than tandems and in-line doubles. They can be tricky to navigate on crowded footpaths or in shops. They are also shorter and therefore easier to maneuver in tight spaces.
