Choosing a Double Pram and Pushchair

A double pram can make life easier for families, especially in busy shopping centers or on busy streets. Pick a model with ample storage space to store nappies as well as snacks and other essentials.

Tandem

The announcement that you are expecting a child is among life's most exciting moments. But, once the initial excitement wears off and reality begins to sink into your life, you'll be faced with a myriad of choices regarding how to prepare your family for the arrival of your baby one or one. The best twin buggy stroller or pram is one of the most important things to consider.

Tandem prams (also called 'in-line' double prams) are a timeless design that have two seats or pram bassinets arranged side by side. The front seat, which is typically padded, reclines flat and is suitable for babies. The second seat is a bit higher and designed to fit toddlers as young as three years old. Some models have seats that can be reversible, so you can choose to have your children face towards each other or gaze at you. Many tandems have the option to convert into a single pushchair if you decide that your child's oldest doesn't require the second seat.

A tandem can be a bit heavy and difficult to steer, particularly when bumping over the kerbs. It's also less stable than twin prams particularly if a larger child is seated in the front.

Side by side

Tandem prams can be jogging buggies or all terrain double buggy-terrain buggies. They are ideal for outdoor excursions, such as to the park. They're also a great option when you have to traverse narrow supermarket isles or checkouts as they tend to be more compact than single-seaters.

Convertible double to single buggy strollers are generally larger and heavier than single pushchairs, as they have to hold two or more children. The Graco Modes Nest2Grow is one instance of a low-cost convertible that is user-friendly, but our test subjects felt it was a little heavy for its 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 lightest double stroller stroller when not in use, and makes it smaller. The City Select's clever single-handed folding impressed our test participants however it requires some time to master. It's also very responsive and nimble even despite its size.

Another affordable option is the Cybex Mockingbird Single-to-Double Stroller. The seat converts from a car seat with a parent seat to a forward-facing toddler seat, sit and stand double stroller (simply click the following web site) the bassinet mode is a fantastic option for infants (although remember that babies under four months old shouldn't use strollers to sleep due to the danger of asphyxia from position).

Lightweight

Some parents prefer to secure their double buggy when they have a child and are expecting another so a convertible option is a good option. The iCandy Peach allows you to convert from a single to a double pushchair by the addition of either an infant seat or the brand's optional carrycot (which is suitable for overnight sleeping). The seats are very comfortable and our testers love that they can recline in multiple positions. They also appreciate the feature that the canopy comes with an open window that can be seen from afar and has UPF 50+ protection. The rear seat can be raised to provide an elevated platform for the child to get on and off, to allow them to reach items in the shopping basket.

The only drawback of the iCandy Peach is that it is quite heavy. However, Cher felt this was overcome by the ease to maneuver and how large the storage space is with two hanging parent and child cup holders, seat-back pockets and a large underseat basket. Cher also liked that the seats can be reversed so that they can face each other, which is ideal for siblings who want to interact and talk while out and out and about.

The Delta Children LX Side-by-Side Stroller is a lighter option however, it is still awe-inspiring. It weighs just 18 pounds, is small, and has a self standing fold, making it easy to carry around or put in your trunk. Parents appreciate the high-quality materials and workmanship, as well as the low cost. The only negatives are that the seats don't recline as much as other models we've tried and the rear seat is not as visible because of its position - it is raised higher than the seat in front.

Another popular choice is the Joolz Geo 3, which is slim, sleek and easy to steer, and comes with an attractive design and a lifetime guarantee. Although they are narrower than side-by-side strollers, they can be wider than tandems and inline doubles. This makes them difficult to maneuver around busy footpaths and in shops. However, they're generally smaller, and can be more maneuverable in tight spaces than tandems.
