Some models allow you to decide if your children will look at each other or face each other. Many tandems can be converted to one pushchair once your oldest child is no longer required to have the second seat.
A tandem is less expensive than twin prams and is a great option for parents who want to save money, without compromising safety or functionality. A tandem can be heavy and difficult to steer, particularly when you’re tripping over kerbs. It is also less stable than twin prams especially when a bigger child is seated in the front. A tandem can be difficult to get onto public transport and can be difficult to navigate on narrow pavements.
The iCandy Peach is a popular model with a strong image that’s a great choice for a single parent looking for a sleeker design, but the tandem mode can make it feel long and heavy when pushing. It has a clever frame that expands in width to allow for the addition of the second seat, and it can be used with a variety of combinations of carrycots, buggy chairs and car seats (two at a time or in separate).

If you’re buying a double pram for twins or siblings who are close in age there are a variety of configuration options to take into account. Tandem prams, referred to as side-by-side prams are popular choices due to the fact that they can be set up so that the infant is able to sit and Stand double stroller in the bassinet at the top while the toddler or older child is seated in the second seat.

This allows you to keep your little ones always in your sight and also gives them a an opportunity to interact with each other while they walk.

The Redsbaby JIVE3 Pram, for instance can be used as a tandem pram from birth in dual mode by adding the use of the rumble seat (PS249). If your child is no longer a member of the rumble chair, you can switch to one pram mode. You may also opt to use the car capsule adaptors to transform it from a newborn to a toddler travel system.
The Side by Side Pram from Babybee is a different option. This double pram side-by-side is available in a variety of colours and has an elegant modern design. Designed to be used right from birth, you can also add the LUNA newborn Cocoon (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 is available in a variety of infant seats and carrycots to accommodate twins or siblings with different age ranges. It’s also easy to fold. It’s also relatively lightweight, which makes it an ideal option for those who have small cars or only a little storage space.
Convertible
Some of the top stokke double stroller prams or pushchairs are configured into different seats to meet your changing needs. You can fit up to three children on the seat board, or two toddlers in the seats with enough space to carry shopping bags. Accessories like rain covers are also available. Most convertible double strollers double are larger and heavier than single pushchairs as they are required to be able to accommodate two or more children. The Graco Modes Nest2Grow convertible is an example of an inexpensive convertible that is very easy to use. However, our test participants considered it to be a bit heavy for the money.
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 being used and makes it more compact. Our test participants were awestruck by the City Select’s clever one-handed fold, although it requires some practice. It is also quite responsive and nimble in spite of its size.
The Cybex Mockingbird single-to-double stroller is another option that is reasonably priced. It can be transformed from a parent facing infant car seat to a forward-facing toddler seat. The bassinet mode is a great option for infants.
If you want more flexibility Consider a convertible that has dual modes like the iCandy Peach. This is a narrow double buggy that can hold 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 is nimble and responsive, and our testers loved its sleek design. It’s not as light as some of the other models we’ve reviewed, but it comes with a big basket that’s great for parents who have to carry bags filled with toys and other items.
Lightweight
Some parents want to ensure the future of their double buggy when they have a child and are expecting another so a convertible option is a great option. The iCandy Peach allows you to transform from a single to a double pushchair by the addition of an infant seat or the brand’s optional carrycot (which is suitable for overnight sleeping). The seats are very comfortable and our test subjects love that they can be reclined in multiple positions. They also like the fact that the canopy has an open window that can be seen from afar and has UPF 50+ protection. The rear seat can be raised to allow the child of a higher age can stand on it to reach the basket of shopping.
The only drawback of the iCandy Peach is that it is quite heavy. However, Cher found that this was offset by how easy it is to move around and how big the storage space is equipped with two hanging child and parent cup holders as well as seat-back pockets, and a large underseat storage basket. Cher also liked that the seats can be reversed so that they can face each other, which is ideal for siblings who like to chat and have conversations when 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 features a self-standing fold, making it easy to carry and store in your trunk or at home. Parents appreciate the quality of the materials and workmanship and the affordable price. The only downsides are that the seats do not recline as much as other models we have tested and the rear seat isn’t as prominent because of its position – it is raised higher than the front seat.
The Joolz Geo 3 is another popular choice. It is slim, sleek and easy to steer, and comes with an unbeatable lifetime warranty. Although they are narrower side-by-side prams may be wider than tandems and inline doubles. This can make them difficult to maneuver on busy footpaths and in shops. However, they’re generally shorter too, so can be easier to turn in tight spaces than tandems.
