How Do I Explain Double Pram And Pushchair To A Five-Year-Old
Choosing a Double Pram and Pushchair

A double pram or pushchair can simplify family life, especially on busy streets or in shops and stores. Find a model that has ample storage space to store nappies, snacks and other essentials.

Some parents who are first-time parents opt for a future-proof pushchair which can be used as a single stroller when baby is born, and converted to a twin mode after he or she arrives. Joolz has a variety of options.

Tandem

The news that you're about to have the birth of a child is one of the most exciting events in life. Once the excitement has worn off and the reality of the situation sets in, you will have to make a number of decisions regarding how to prepare your family for. One of the most important aspects to consider is choosing the best pram or pushchair.

Tandem prams (also known as 'in-line' double prams) are a classic style with two seats or pram bassinets arranged side-by-side. The front seat, which is usually cushioned, reclines and is suitable for newborns. The second seat is a bit higher and designed to fit toddlers as young as three years old. Some models allow you to select whether your children stare at each other or outwards. Many tandems can be made into one pushchair when your oldest child is no longer required to have the second seat.

In terms of price, a tandem is much cheaper than a twin pushchair, and can be an excellent choice for parents looking to save money, but not compromise on safety or convenience. A tandem can be heavy and difficult to steer, especially when negotiating kerbs. It is also less stable than twin pushchairs particularly if a larger child is seated in the front. A tandem can also be tricky to fit onto public transport and can be difficult to navigate on narrow pavements.


double buggy , a popular model that is focused on image, is a fantastic option for parents who are single and want an attractive appearance. However the tandem mode can make it feel long and heavy to push. It has a clever frame that expands in width to allow the addition of the second seat, and it is compatible with many combinations of carrycots, buggy seats and car seats (two at once or separately). The iCandy Wave tandem is another lightweight option that is easy to use and compatible with a range of carrycots or car seats.

Side by side

There are many things to think about when selecting a double pram or pushchair. Whether you're buying for twins or other siblings that are similar in age there are a variety of configuration options to take into account. Tandem prams (also called side by side prams) are popular choices as they can be configured to accommodate infants in a bassinet on the top, while the larger toddler or infant is in the second seat below.

Some models have reversible seating that allow you to customize the seating arrangement for your family members throughout the infant and toddler years. This allows you to keep your kids always in your sights and also gives them a an opportunity to interact with each other as they stroll.

Tandem prams are usually all-terrain buggies or jogging ones that is why they're great for outdoor excursions and the park. They're also ideal for narrow aisles and checkouts in shops and supermarkets because they are less bulky.

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

Another alternative is the Side by Side Pram from Babybee. The double side-by-side pram is available in a variety of colors and is designed with a contemporary style. The design is intended to be used right from birth, you can add the LUNA newborn cocoon (PS262) or the LUNA infant seats (PS53 each) to ensure that your baby is comfortable and safe.

If you're looking for a sleek and stylish pushchair that converts into a double-sided side-by-side, the Egg 2 from Chicco is an excellent choice. It's available in a range of carrycot and infant seat combinations to accommodate twins or siblings of different age groups. It's also easy to fold. It's also quite light and therefore a great choice for those who have small cars or only a little storage space.

Convertible

Some of the best double prams or pushchairs are set up to accommodate your changing needs. You can fit two toddlers in seats or even a third one on the seat board and have room for a shopping basket, and the option to add additional accessories such as rain covers is also a plus. Typically, convertible double strollers are bigger and heavier than single pushchairs because they are required to be able to accommodate 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 little heavy for the price.

Some convertible double strollers, such as the Baby Jogger City Select 2 comes with a carrycot 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 test participants were awestruck by the City Select's innovative one-handed fold. However, it requires some time to master. It is also quite agile and responsive, despite its size.

The Cybex Mockingbird single-to-double stroller is an alternative that is affordable. 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 4 months old should not use strollers to sleep due to the danger of asphyxia from position).

For more flexibility, look for a convertible with dual modes like the iCandy Peach. This is a narrow double stroller that can accommodate two children side-by-side. It can also be used to create a tandem by incorporating a second seat kit. It feels nimble and responsive, and our test users loved its sleek design. It's not as light as some of the other pushchairs we've reviewed however, it comes with a large shopping basket which is great for parents who carry bags full of groceries and toys.

Lightweight

Some parents want to ensure the future of their double pushchair if they have a child and are expecting another and a convertible model is an excellent choice. The iCandy Peach can be converted from a single pushchair to double with the addition of a toddler's seat, or the brand's carrycot (which works well for sleeping at night). Our test subjects were impressed by how comfortable the seats are and adore the fact that they can recline in a variety of positions, come with built-in leg and foot support and have UPF 50+ canopy with windows that peek out. The rear seat can also be raised to provide an elevated platform for a child to get off and on, so they can access items in the basket of groceries.

The only downside to the iCandy Peach is that it is quite heavy, however Cher believed that this was overcome by how easy it is to maneuver and how large the storage space is, with two hanging parent and child cup holders with seat-back pockets as well as an enormous underseat basket. Cher also appreciated the feature that the seats are adjustable, meaning they can be positioned to face each other for siblings that want to talk and get together when out and out and about.

A lighter-weight but just as impressive choice is the Delta Children LX side-by-side stroller, which weighs only 18 pounds, is extremely compact and has a self-standing fold that makes it easy to carry and store in your trunk or at home. Parents are impressed by the quality of the materials and workmanship and the low price point. The only issue 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 due to its position that is higher than the front seat.

Another popular choice is the Joolz Geo 3, which is slim, sleek and easy to steer, with an attractive design and a lifetime guarantee. It's important to keep in mind that, despite their slimmer design side by side prams are wider than tandem and in-line doubles. They can be tricky to navigate on crowded footpaths or in shops. However, they're generally smaller, and can be easier to turn in tight spaces than tandems.
