Choosing a smallest double buggy (visit the next document) Pram and Pushchair

A double pram or pushchair will simplify family life, especially on busy footpaths or in shops and stores. Pick a model with ample storage space for nappies, snacks, and other necessities.

Some parents who are new to the family opt for a future proof pushchair that can be used as a single pram when bub is born and then changed into a twin mode when the baby has arrived. Joolz provides a variety of these options.

Tandem

The announcement that you are expecting a baby is one of life's most exciting experiences. When the excitement wears off and the reality of the situation sets in, you will be faced with many decisions regarding how you can prepare your family. One of the most important things to consider is choosing the best pram or pushchair.

Tandem prams, also referred to as "in-line" double prams, are a classic design that has two bassinets or chairs placed side by side. The front seat, which is typically cushioned, reclines flat and is suitable for babies. The second seat is more upright and designed to accommodate toddlers as young as 3 years. Some models allow you to select whether your children stare at each other or face each other. Many tandems can be made into one pushchair once your oldest child is no longer using the second seat.

A tandem is less expensive than twin prams and is an ideal choice for parents looking to save money, without losing safety or function. However, one disadvantage of a tandem is that it may be heavy and long to steer, particularly when moving up and down kerbs, and it is generally less stable than a twin pram, especially if the child with the most weight is sitting in the front. A tandem can also be difficult to transport on public transport, and it can be difficult to maneuver on narrow pavements.

The iCandy Peach, a popular model with a focus on image, is an excellent option for parents with one child who want a sleeker appearance. However the tandem mode can make it feel long and heavy to push. It has a clever frame that can be expanded to accommodate the second seat, and is compatible with many combinations of carrycots, buggy seats and car seats (two at a time or in separate). The iCandy Wave is another lightweight tandem option that's simple to use and compatible with a variety of car seats and carrycots.

Side by side

When it comes time to choose a double pushchair or pram there's a lot to consider. If you're buying for twins or siblings who are close in age, there are a number of configuration options to consider. Tandem prams, also known as side-by-side prams are popular options because they can be set up so that the infant can be seated in the bassinet in the middle while the older child or toddler is sitting in the second chair.

Some models have reversible seats that allow you to customize the layout of your family during the infant and toddler years. This lets you keep your children always in your sight and gives them a an oiewers found it to be a bit heavy for the price.

Some double strollers that can be converted into convertibles like the Baby Jogger City Select 2 include a carrycot suitable for babies. This helps to reduce the size of the double stroller sale stroller when not in use, and makes it more compact double stroller. Our testers were impressed with the City Select's unique one-handed fold, although it does take a bit of practice. It's also very nimble and agile, despite being larger than other double strollers.

Another option that is reasonably priced is the Cybex Mockingbird Single-to-Double Stroller. It can be converted from a car seat with a parent seat to a forward-facing toddler car seat and the bassinet option is a great choice for infants (although remember that babies under 4 months old should never use strollers to sleep due to the danger of asphyxia from position).

If you're looking to expand your options, consider a dual-mode convertible like 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 adding a second seating kit. It is responsive and nimble and our testers loved its sleek design. It's not as light as some of the other pushchairs in our list however, it comes with an enormous shopping basket that is handy for parents carrying bags of toys and groceries.

Lightweight

Some parents prefer to secure their double buggy when they have one child and are expecting another and a convertible model is an excellent choice. The iCandy Peach can be converted from a single pushchair into a double with the addition of a toddler's seat, or the brand's carrycot (which is ideal for sleeping at night). Our testers were pleased with the comfort of the seats and loved the fact that both recline to multiple positions, come with built-in leg and foot supports and generous UPF 50+ canopy with peekaboo windows. The rear seat can also be elevated to provide a a standing platform for a child to climb off and on to allow them to reach items in the shopping basket.

Cher said that the only disadvantage of the iCandy Peach was its weight. But she felt that this was compensated for because it's easy to move and offers plenty of storage space and cup holders for parents and children as well as seat-back pockets and an enormous basket underneath the seat. Cher also liked 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 about.

The Delta Children LX Side-by-Side Stroller is a smaller model however, it is still awe-inspiring. It weighs just 18 pounds, is compact and features self-standing fold, making it simple to transport or store in your trunk. Parents are impressed by the quality of materials and workmanship, as well as the low cost. The only downsides are that the seats don't recline as much as other models we've tested and the rear seat isn't as visible due to its location and height. It is higher than the first seat.

Another popular choice is the Joolz Geo 3, which is slim sleek, stylish and easy to steer, and comes with an attractive design and a lifetime guarantee. It's worth bearing in mind that despite their narrower design, side by side prams remain wider than tandem and in-line doubles. They can be difficult to navigate through crowded footpaths or in shops. However, they're generally shorter, which means they can be more maneuverable in tight spaces than tandems.
