The news that you're expecting the birth of a child is one of the most exciting times in life. Once the excitement has worn off and the reality of the situation sets in, you will be faced with a variety of decisions regarding how to prepare your family for. The right pram or stroller is among the most crucial considerations.

Tandem prams (also known as 'in-line' double prams) are a classic design that have two seats or pram bassinets arranged side-by-side by side double stroller. The front seat is typically covered in padding and reclines to a flat angle, making it suitable for newborns while the second one is more upright and can accommodate toddlers as young as three years old. older. Some models let you decide if your children will look at each other or face each other. A lot of tandems offer the option to convert into a single pushchair when you decide your oldest child doesn't require the second seat.

A tandem is cheaper than twin prams and is a great option for parents who want to save money, but without losing safety or function. A tandem can be a bit heavy and difficult to steer, particularly when bumping over kerbs. It is also less stable than twin pushchairs, especially if an older child is in the front. A tandem can be difficult to get onto public transport and can be difficult to navigate on narrow roads.

The iCandy Peach is a popular image-conscious model that's a great choice for a singleton parent looking for a sleeker design however the tandem mode can make it feel heavy and long when pushing. It has frames that can be expanded in dimensions to accommodate the 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 is easy to use and compatible with a variety of carrycots and car seats.

Side by side

When it comes to choosing a double pram or pushchair, there's a lot to think about. Whether you're buying for twins or siblings who are close in age there are a variety of configuration choices to think about. Tandem prams (also known as side by side prams) are popular choices as they can be configured to accommodate infants in a bassinet on top while the older toddler or infant is in the second seat below.

Some models even feature convertible seats, which means you can adapt the configuration to meet the needs of your family throughout the toddler and baby years. This lets you be able to watch your children at all times and gives them the chance to interact while they walk.

Tandem prams are usually all-terrain buggies or jogging ones, which means they're ideal for outdoor adventures and the park. They're also a good choice for those who have to navigate narrow aisles in the supermarket or at checkouts, as they tend to be smaller than single-seaters.

The Redsbaby JIVE3 Pram, for instance can be used as a tandem pram from birth in the dual mode, with the addition of the rumble seat (PS249). When your child grows out of the rumble seat, you can change to a single pram mode. You can also opt to make use of the car capsule adaptors to transform it from a newborn to toddler travel system.

The Side by Side Pram from Babybee is another option. This double side-byside pram comes in a range of colors and is designed with a contemporary style. It is designed to be used from birth, you can also add the LUNA newborn Cocoon (PS262) and the LUNA Infant Seats (PS53 each).

The Egg 2 is a stylish elegant pushchair that can be converted into a double side-byside. It is available in a variety of infant and carrycots to accommodate twins or siblings with different age ranges. It's also easy to collapse. It's also light and compact, making it a great option for those with little space in their cars or don't have enough space for storage.

Convertible

Some of the top double prams or pushchairs are set up to meet your changing needs. You can fit two toddlers in the seats or even a third one on the seat board, and still have enough space for a shopping basket, and the ability to add accessories like rain covers is also a advantage. Convertible double strollers tend to be heavier and bulkier than single pushchairs because they need to hold two or more children. The Graco Modes Nest2Grow is one example of an affordable convertible that is easy to use, although our testers felt that it was a little heavy for the money.

Some double strollers that can be converted into convertibles like the Baby Jogger City Select 2 come with a carrycot suitable for babies. This allows the double stroller to be folded down and reduced in size when it is not used. Our test participants were awestruck by the City Select's unique one-handed fold, although it does take a bit of practice. It's also very nimble and responsive, despite being bigger than other double strollers.

The Cybex Mockingbird single-to-double stroller is another affordable option. It converts from a parent-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 four months old shouldn't use strollers to sleep due to the risk of positional asphyxia).

If you're looking for more flexibility look into a convertible with dual modes such as the iCandy Peach. It's a compact double stroller that is able to accommodate two children side-by-side. It can also be used to make a tandem by adding a second seat kit. It feels fluid and responsive, and our testers loved its sleek design. It's not as lightweight like some of the other models on our list, but it comes with a big basket that is useful for parents who have to carry bags full of toys and food items.

lightweight double stroller

Some parents want to ensure the future of their double buggy if 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 running buggy pushchair with the addition of a toddler seat or the brand's carrycot (which is suitable for sleep overs). Our testers noted the comfort of the seats and love the fact that both recline to multiple positions, feature built-in leg and foot supports and have UPF 50+ canopy that has peekaboo windows. The rear seat can be raised to allow the child of a higher age can stand on it to reach the shopping basket.

Cher said that the one disadvantage of the iCandy Peach was its weight. However, she felt this was offset because it is easy to move and comes with plenty of storage space, including two cup holders for parents and children as well as seat-back pockets and a large basket under the seat. Cher also loved that the seats can be turned to face each other, which is perfect for siblings who want to chat and have conversations when they are out and out and about.

A lighter and equally impressive option is the Delta Children LX side-by-side stroller that weighs only 18 lbs, is super compact and has a self-standing fold, making it easy to carry and store in your trunk or at home. Parents are impressed by the quality of the materials and craftsmanship as well as the price is low. The only drawbacks are that the seats don't recline as well as other models we've tested and the rear seat is not as prominent due to its location and height. It is higher than the front seat.

Another popular option 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 still wider than tandem and in-line doubles. They can be difficult to navigate through busy streets or in shops. They are also shorter which makes them more maneuverable in tight spaces.
