The announcement that you are expecting a baby is among life's most exciting experiences. Once the excitement has worn off and the reality of the situation begins to set in, you'll be faced with many decisions regarding how to prepare your family for. The proper stroller or pram is among the most crucial considerations.

Tandem prams, also known as "in-line" double prams, are a classic design that has two bassinets or chairs placed side by side. The front seat is usually padded and reclines to a flat position making it suitable for newborns while the second one is more upright and can accommodate toddlers as young as three years old. of age. Some models come with reversible seating so you can choose whether your children face towards each other or gaze at you. Many tandems can be converted to a single pushchair when your oldest child is no longer in need of the second seat.

In terms of price, a tandem is much cheaper than a twin pushchair, and can be an excellent choice for parents who want to save money but not compromising on safety or convenience. However, the drawback of a tandem is that it may feel long and heavy to steer, especially when you're bumping up or down kerbs. It is generally less stable than a twin pram, especially if the child who is older is seated in the front. A tandem can also be difficult to get onto public transport, and it can be difficult to navigate on narrow pavements.

The iCandy Peach, a popular model that focuses on image, is a great option for a single parent who wants a sleeker design. However the tandem mode can make it feel heavy and long to push. It features an innovative frame that expands widthways to allow for the addition of the second seat, and it can be used with a variety of combinations of carrycots, buggy seats and car seats (two at a time or in separate). The iCandy Wave tandem is another lightweight option that's easy-to-use and compatible with a variety of car seats and carrycots.

Side by side

When it comes time to choose a double pram or pushchair there's plenty to think about. There are a variety of configuration options to choose from, whether you're buying for twins or close-in-age siblings. Tandem prams (also called side by sides prams) are a popular choice since they can be arranged to accommodate infants in a bassinet at the top, while the older infant or toddler sits in the lower seat below.

Some models have reversible seats that let you customize the seating arrangement for your family throughout the infant and toddler years. This lets you keep your children always in your sight and also gives them a chance to get to know one another as they walk.

Tandem prams can be jogging buggies or all-terrain buggies. They are great for outdoor excursions, such as to the park. They're also ideal for narrow aisles and checkouts in supermarkets and shops as they are smaller.

The Redsbaby JIVE3 pram for example can be used in tandem mode from birth, but with the addition of an rumble seat. (PS249) If your child is no longer a member of the rumble seat, you can switch to the single pram mode. You can also choose to use the adaptors for car capsules to convert it from a newborn to toddler travel system.

Another alternative is the Side by Side Pram from Babybee. This double side-byside pram comes in a variety of colors and is designed with a modern design. It is designed to be used from birth, you can also include the LUNA Cocoon for newborns (PS262) and the LUNA Infant Seats (PS53 each).

The Egg 2 is a stylish, sleek pushchair that can be transformed into a double stroller with bassinet side by side. It's available in a variety of carrycots and infant seats to accommodate twins or siblings of different ages. It's also easy to collapse. It's also lightweight, making it a good option for those with smaller vehicles or have limited space for storage.

Convertible

The top double prams and pushchairs are able to be used in multiple ways, and some are even capable of changing seat configurations to suit the changing needs of your family. You can fit two toddlers in seats or a third rider on the seat board and have room for a basket to store your shopping, and the option to add accessories like rain covers is also a plus. Most convertible double strollers are bigger and heavier than single pushchairs due to the fact that they must be able to accommodate two or more children. The Graco Modes Nest2Grow is one example of an affordable convertible that is user-friendly, but our testers thought it was a bit heavy for the price.

Some convertible smallest double buggy strollers, like the Baby Jogger City Select 2 has a carrycot option which is suitable for babies. This reduces the size of the sit n stand double stroller stroller when it is not in use and makes it smaller. Our test participants were awestruck by the City Select's innovative one-handed fold, although it takes some practice. It's also very nimble and responsive, despite being bigger than double strollers.

Another option that is affordable is an affordable option is the Cybex Mockingbird Single-to-Double Stroller. It converts from a car seat with a parent seat to a forward-facing toddler seat and the bassinet option is a great choice for infants (although be aware that babies younger than 4 months old should not sleep in strollers because of the risk of positional asphyxia).

If you want more flexibility, consider a dual-mode convertible such as the iCandy Peach. This is a narrow double buggy that can fit two children in a row however it can also be used as a tandem with the addition of a second seat kit and rider board. It's nimble and responsive and our test participants loved its sleek design. It's not quite as lightweight as the other models on our list but it comes with a big basket that is useful for parents who are carrying bags of toys and other items.

Lightweight

Some parents like to future-proof their double buggy when they have one child and are expecting another so a convertible option is a good option. 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 ideal for overnight sleeping). Our testers were pleased with the comfort of the seats and adore the fact that both recline to different positions, have built-in foot and leg supports and have UPF 50+ canopies with windows that peek out. The rear seat can be raised to allow the child of a higher age can sit n stand double stroller on it to reach the shopping basket.

The only drawback of the iCandy Peach is that it is quite heavy, but Cher found that this was overcome by how easy it is to maneuver and how large the storage area is, with two hanging child and parent cup holders as well as seat-back pockets, and a large underseat basket. Cher also liked that seats can be flipped to face each other. This is perfect for siblings who want to chat and have conversations while out and about.

The Delta Children LX Side-by-Side Stroller is a smaller model however, it is still awe-inspiring. It weighs only 18 pounds, is lightweight and features self-standing fold, making it simple to transport or store in your trunk. Parents love the quality of materials and workmanship, as well as the cost. The only downsides are that the seats do not recline as well as other models we've tested and the rear seat is not as visible because of its position - it is raised higher than the front seat.

The Joolz Geo 3 is another popular option. It is slim, sleek, and easy to steer and has a lifetime guarantee. It's worth bearing in mind that, despite their slimmer design, side by side prams are still wider than tandem and in-line doubles. They may be difficult to navigate through busy footpaths or in stores. However, they're usually smaller, and can be easier to turn in tight spaces than tandems.
