The announcement that you are expecting a child is among life's most exciting experiences. However, once the initial excitement wears off and reality sinks in, you could be faced with a multitude of decisions about how to prepare your family for the arrival of your little one or one. One of the most important aspects to consider is choosing the right pram or pushchair.
Tandem prams (also called "in-line" double car seat stroller prams) are a classic style with two seats or pram bassinets arranged side-by-side. The front seat is usually padded and reclines to a flat angle, making it suitable for infants, while the second seat is more upright and can accommodate toddlers as young as three years old. of age. Certain models let you choose whether your children look at each other or outwards. Many tandems also have the option of converting into a single pushchair in the event that you decide your oldest child doesn't require the second seat.
A tandem is less expensive than twin prams and is an excellent choice for parents who wish to save money, without having to sacrifice safety or functional. However, one disadvantage of a tandem is that it may be heavy and long to steer, particularly when going up or down kerbs, and it is often less stable than a twin pram especially if the child who is older is sitting in the front. A tandem can be difficult to place on public transportation, and it can be difficult to maneuver narrow pavements.
The iCandy Peach, a popular model that is focused on image, is a fantastic choice for parents who are single and want an attractive appearance. However the tandem mode can make it feel long and heavy to push. It's got frames that can be expanded in dimensions to accommodate the second seat. It can be used with a variety of car seats, buggy seats and carrycots (two at one time or in separate). The iCandy Wave is another lightweight tandem option that's simple to use and compatible with a variety of car seats and carrycots.
Side by side
There are many aspects to consider when choosing a double pushchair or pram. There are numerous configuration options to choose from, whether you're purchasing for twins or close-in-age siblings. Tandem prams (also known as side by side prams) are a popular choice because they can be configured to accommodate infants in a bassinet at the top while the older infant or toddler sits in the seat below.
Some models come with seats that can be reversible, meaning you can modify the seating to suit your family's needs throughout the baby and toddler years. This will allow you to keep your kids in sight at all times and gives them a chance to get to know each other while they walk.
Tandem prams are usually jogging buggies or all-terrain ones which makes them ideal for outdoor adventures and in the park. They're also a good choice when you have to traverse narrow checkout aisles or isles in supermarkets because they are generally smaller than single-seaters.
The Redsbaby JIVE3 Pram, for instance can be used as a tandem pram starting 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 make use of the car capsule adaptors to transform it from a newborn to toddler travel system.
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 a beautiful modern 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 that your baby is comfortable and safe.

It's available in a variety of infant seat and carrycot combinations to accommodate twins or siblings of various age groups. It's also easy to fold. It's also fairly lightweight, making it a good option for those with smaller vehicles or have limited space to store.
Convertible
The best double pushchairs or prams can be made into various seats to meet your changing needs. You can fit two toddlers in a seat or a third child on the seat board and have room for a shopping basket, and the option to add accessories such as rain covers is also a plus. Convertible double strollers tend to be larger and heavier than single pushchairs due to the fact that 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 user-friendly, however our testers felt that it was a bit heavy for the money.
Some convertible double strollers, such as the Baby Jogger City Select 2 has a carrycot option that is suitable for infants. This reduces the size of the double stroller when it is 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 extremely fluid and agile in spite of its size.
The Cybex Mockingbird single-to-double stroller is an alternative that is affordable. It can be converted from a parent facing infant car seat to an forward-facing toddler seat. The bassinet mode is a great option for infants.
For more flexibility, look for a convertible with dual modes such as the iCandy Peach. It's a small 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 is nimble and agile, and our testers loved its sleek design. It's not as light as the other pushchairs we've reviewed however, it comes with an ample shopping basket that is handy for parents carrying bags full of toys and food.
Lightweight
Convertible double strollers double are a great option for parents who already have children and anticipate another. The iCandy Peach can be converted from a single pushchair double buggy newborn by the addition of a toddler seat, or the brand's carrycot (which is ideal for sleeping at night). The seats are very comfortable and our test subjects love that they can be reclined in multiple positions. They also like the design of the canopy, which has an open window that can be seen from afar and has UPF 50+ protection. The rear seat can also be lifted high to offer an elevated platform for the older child to get on and off, so they can access items in the shopping basket.
Cher stated that the only downside of the iCandy Peach was its weight. However, she believed this was offset by the fact that it's easy to move and has plenty of storage and cup holders for parents and children, seat-back pockets, and an enormous basket underneath the seat. Cher also loved that the seats can be reversed to face each other. This is ideal for siblings who love to chat and have conversations when they are out and about.
The Delta Children LX Side-by-Side Stroller is a lighter option and still impressive. It weighs only 18 pounds, is lightweight and features an auto-standing fold, making it simple to transport or store in your trunk. Parents love the quality of the materials and workmanship and the affordable price. The only drawbacks are that the seats don't recline as well as other models we've tested and the rear seat isn't as well-lit due to its location and height. It is higher than the front seat.
Another popular option is the Joolz Geo 3, which is slim and sleek. It is also easy to steer, and comes with an attractive design and lifetime guarantee. Although they are smaller, side-by-side prams can still be more spacious than tandems and inline doubles. This can make them difficult to maneuver on busy footpaths and in shops. However, they're generally smaller, and are easier to maneuver in tight spaces than tandems.
