Tandem
The announcement that you're expecting to have a baby is among the most exciting moments in life. However, after the excitement of the beginning fades and reality sinks in, you may be faced with a variety of choices regarding how to prepare your family for the arrival of your new one or one. The proper stroller or pram is one of the most important considerations.
Tandem prams, also referred to as "in-line" double prams are a classic design with two bassinets or chairs placed side by side. The front seat is typically cushioned and reclines to a flat position making it suitable for babies and the second seat is more upright and is able to accommodate toddlers as young as three years old. older. Some models come with seats that can be reversible, so you can decide if your children face one another or look at you. Many tandems can be made into one pushchair when your oldest child is no longer required to have the second seat.
In terms of cost it is cheaper than a twin pushchair and can be an excellent choice for parents looking to save money but not compromising on safety or function. However, the drawback of a tandem is that it may feel long and heavy to steer, especially when you're going up or down kerbs. It is often less stable than a twin pushchair, especially if the child who is older is sitting in the front. A tandem can also be tricky to get onto public transport, and it can be difficult to maneuver on narrow pavements.
The iCandy Peach, a popular model that focuses on image, is a great option for parents with one child who want a sleeker style. However, the tandem mode makes it feel heavy and long to push. It comes with an innovative frame that can be expanded to allow for the addition of the second seat, and can be used with a variety of combinations of buggy seats, carrycots and car seats (two at once or separately). The iCandy Wave tandem is another lightweight option that's user-friendly and compatible with a variety of carrycots or car seats.
Side by side
There are many aspects to think about when selecting a double pushchair or pram. There are a variety of configuration options available, whether you're purchasing for twins or close-in-age siblings. Tandem prams (also called side by sides prams) are a popular choice since they can be configured to accommodate infants with a bassinet on the top, while the older toddler or infant sits in the seat below.
Some models even feature reversible seats, which means you can modify the seating to your family's requirements throughout the toddler and baby years. This lets you be able to watch your children at all times and gives them the chance to be a part of the journey while they walk.
Tandem prams can be jogging buggies or all-terrain buggies. They are perfect for outdoor excursions, such as to the park. They are also great for narrow aisles or checkouts in supermarkets and shops as they are more compact.
The Redsbaby JIVE3 Pram, for instance, can be used as a tandem pram starting from birth in dual mode by adding the use of the rumble seat (PS249). It is then possible to switch to the single mode once your baby grows out of the rumble seat or choose the car capsule adaptors (PS53) to turn it into a travel system for infant to toddler.
Another option is the Side by Side Pram from Babybee. The double side-by-side pram is available in a range of colors and is designed in a contemporary style. Designed to be used from birth, you can add the LUNA newborn cocoon (PS262) or the LUNA infant seats (PS53 each) to ensure your children are comfortable and safe.
If you're looking for a sleek and elegant pushchair that can convert into a double-sided side-by-side, the Egg 2 from Chicco is a great option. It's available in a variety of infant seats and carrycots to accommodate twins or siblings of different age ranges. It's also easy to fold.

There is the possibility of fitting two toddlers in seats or a third child on the seat board, and still have room for a shopping basket and the option to add additional accessories such as rain covers is a benefit. Convertible
small double stroller strollers are generally heavier and larger than single pushchairs because they have to hold two or more children. The Graco Modes Nest2Grow convertible is an example of an affordable convertible that is simple to use. However, our testers thought it was quite heavy for its price.
Some convertible double strollers, like the Baby Jogger City Select 2 comes with a carrycot which is suitable for babies. This reduces the size of the double stroller when not in use and makes it more compact. The City Select's innovative, one-handed folding impressed our testers however it requires some practice. It is also quite fluid and agile even despite its size.
The Cybex Mockingbird
single double stroller-to-double stroller is an alternative that is affordable. It converts from a parent-facing infant car seat to a forward-facing toddler car seat, and the bassinet mode is a fantastic option for infants (although keep in mind that infants under 4 months old should never use strollers to sleep due to the risk of positional asphyxia).
If you're looking for more flexibility, consider a dual-mode convertible such as the iCandy Peach. It's a slim double stroller that can accommodate two children at the same time. It can also be used to make a tandem by incorporating a second seat kit. It feels fluid and responsive, and our test users liked its sleek design. It's not as light as the other models on our list but it has a large basket that is useful for parents who are carrying bags of toys and groceries.
Lightweight
Convertible
double stroller sale strollers are an excellent option for parents who already have one child and are expecting another. The iCandy Peach can be converted from a single pushchair into double by the addition of a toddler's seat or the brand's carrycot (which is great for overnight sleeping). The seats are very comfortable and our test subjects love that they can be reclined in a variety of positions. They also like the design of the canopy, which has a window that peeks out and offers UPF 50+ protection. The rear seat can also be raised to provide an elevated platform for the child to get on and off, so that they can reach items in the basket of groceries.
Cher said that the one negative aspect of the iCandy Peach was its weight. But she felt that this was compensated for because it is easy to move and has plenty of storage and cup holders for children and parents as well as seat-back pockets and a large basket under the seat. She also appreciated the seat's design, which is convertible, which means they can be placed to face one another for siblings who wish to chat and interact together while out and out and about.
A lighter-weight but just as 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 that makes it easy to transport and put in your trunk or at home. 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 tested and the rear seat is not as well-lit due to its location and height. It is 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 appealing design and a lifetime guarantee. Although they are narrower side-by-side prams may be more spacious than tandems and inline doubles. This makes them difficult to maneuver on busy streets and in shops. However, they are often shorter, which means they can be more maneuverable in tight spaces than tandems.
