Are You Responsible For A Double Pram And Pushchair Budget? 10 Incredible Ways To Spend Your Money
Choosing a Double Pram and Pushchair

A double pram can simplify the lives of families, especially in busy shops or on busy streets. Choose a model that has plenty of storage space to store nappies, snacks, and other essentials.


Some parents who are first-time parents opt for a pushchair that is future-proof and can be used both as a single stroller at the time baby is born, and later transformed into a twin-mode when the baby is born. Joolz offers a range of these options.

Tandem

The news that you're expecting a baby is one of the most exciting moments in your life. Once the excitement has worn off and the reality of the situation sets in, you'll be faced with many decisions regarding how you can prepare your family. One of the most important aspects to consider is choosing the right pram or pushchair.

Tandem prams, also known as "in-line" double prams are a classic design that has two bassinets or seats placed side-by-side. The front seat, which is usually padded, reclines flat and is suitable for babies. The second seat is more upright and designed to accommodate toddlers as young as 3 years. Certain models feature reversible seating so you can choose whether your children face towards each other or gaze at you. Many tandems have the option of being converted into a single pushchair in the event that you decide that your oldest child does not require the second seat.

In terms of price, a tandem is much cheaper than a twin pushchair and is a great option for parents looking to save money, but not compromise on safety or convenience. However, the drawback of a tandem is that it may feel long and heavy to steer, particularly when going up or down kerbs. Additionally, it is usually less stable than a twin pram, especially if the child with the most weight is seated in the front. A tandem can be difficult to get onto public transport, and it can be difficult to maneuver on narrow pavements.

The iCandy Peach is a popular model with a strong image that's a great choice for a singleton parent who wants something streamlined however the tandem mode can make it feel heavy and long when pushing. It comes with an expanded frame that increases in size to accommodate a second seat. It can be used with a variety of buggy seats, car seats, and carrycots (two at one 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

When it comes to selecting a double pushchair or pram there's a lot to think about. If you're buying for twins or siblings close in age there are plenty of configuration options to take into account. Tandem prams, referred to as side-by-side prams, are a popular options because they can be configured so that the infant is able to sit in the bassinet in the middle while the older child or toddler is sitting in the second chair.

Some models come with reversible seats, which means you can alter the seating arrangement to your family's requirements throughout the toddler and baby years. This allows you to see your children at all times, and allows them to be a part of the journey while they walk.

Tandem prams are often jogging or all-terrain buggies which makes them ideal for outdoor adventures and the park. They're also a great option when you have to traverse narrow checkout aisles or isles in supermarkets, as they are generally more compact than single-seaters.

The Redsbaby JIVE3 pram for example can be utilized in tandem mode from birth with the addition of the rumble seat. (PS249) If your child gets bored of the rumble chair, you can switch to one pram mode. You may also opt to use the car capsule adaptors to convert it from a newborn to a toddler travel system.

The Side by Side Pram made by Babybee is another alternative. This double pram side-by-side is available in a range of colors and features a beautiful modern style. 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).

The Egg 2 is a stylish sleek pushchair that can be converted into a double side by side. It comes in a range of infant and carrycots to accommodate twins or siblings of different age ranges. It is also super-easy to fold. It's also quite light making it an ideal option for those with smaller cars or a limited storage space.

Convertible

The top double prams and pushchairs are versatile, and some are even capable of changing seating configurations to meet your changing family needs. It is possible to fit up to three children on the seat board or two toddlers in the seats and still have enough space to carry shopping bags. Accessories such as rain covers are also available. Convertible double strollers are generally heavier and bulkier than single pushchairs due to the fact that they have to hold two or more children. The Graco Modes Nest2Grow is one example of an affordable convertible which is very user-friendly, but our test subjects felt it was a bit heavy for the money.

Some convertible double strollers like the Baby Jogger City Select 2 come with a carrycot suitable for infants. This reduces the size of the double stroller when not being used and makes it more compact. Our test subjects were awed by the City Select's clever one-handed fold, although it takes some time to master. It's also quite agile and agile, despite being larger than other double strollers.

The Cybex Mockingbird single-to-double stroller is another option that is reasonably priced. The seat converts from a rear-facing infant car seat to a forward-facing toddler car seat and the bassinet option is a fantastic option for infants (although remember that babies under 4 months old should never be able to sleep in strollers due to the risk of positional asphyxia).

To be more flexible, opt for a convertible with dual modes such as the iCandy Peach. It's a compact double buggy which can accommodate 2 children side by side, but it can also be used as a tandem by 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 lightweight like some of the other models we've reviewed, but it comes with a big basket that's ideal for parents who are carrying bags full of toys and groceries.

Lightweight

Some parents want to ensure the future of their double buggy if they have a child and are expecting another and a convertible model is a good option. The iCandy Peach allows you to change from a single pushchair to a double pushchair, with the addition of either an infant seat or the brand's optional carrycot (which is suitable for sleeping at night). Our testers were pleased with the comfort of the seats and adore the fact that they can recline in a variety of positions, come with built-in foot and leg supports and generous UPF 50+ canopy with peekaboo windows. The rear seat can also be elevated to provide a an elevated platform for a child to get on and off, so they can reach things in the shopping basket.

Cher stated that the only negative aspect of the iCandy Peach was its weight. However, she felt this was offset by the fact that it is easy to move and has plenty of storage and cup holders for children and parents, seat-back pockets, and a large basket under the seat. Cher also liked that the seats can be turned so that they can face each other, which is great for siblings who want to talk and interact when out and about.

A lighter and equally impressive option is the Delta Children LX side-by-side stroller, which weighs only 18 lbs, is super compact and has a self-standing fold that makes 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 downside is that the seats don't recline as far as other models we've examined and the rear seat doesn't have great visibility due to its positioning - it's raised higher than the front seat.

The Joolz Geo 3 is another popular choice. It is slim, sleek and easy to steer and has a lifetime guarantee. Although they are narrower, side-by-side prams can still be wider than tandems and inline doubles. This can make them difficult to maneuver on busy footpaths and in shops. They're also shorter which makes them easier to maneuver in tight spaces.
