Tandem

The news that you're expecting a baby is one of the most exciting times in your life. After the excitement wears off and the reality of the situation sets in, you will be faced with many options for how to prepare your family. The best stroller or pram is among the most important things to consider.

Tandem prams (also called 'in-line' double prams) are a classic style that have two seats or pram bassinets that are arranged side-by-side. The front seat, which is typically cushioned, reclines and is suitable for infants. The second seat is more upright and designed to fit toddlers as young as 3 years old. Certain models let you select whether your children stare at each other or look outwards. A lot of tandems offer the option of being converted into a single pushchair in the event that you decide that your child's oldest no longer needs the second seat.

In terms of cost the tandem is cheaper than a twin buggy from birth pushchair, and is a great option for parents looking to save money without compromising on safety or functionality. However, the drawback of a tandem is that it may be heavy and long to steer especially when bumping up or down kerbs. It is often less stable than a twin pram, particularly if the older child is seated at the front. A tandem can also be tricky to fit onto public transport, and it can be difficult to navigate on narrow pavements.

The iCandy Peach, a popular model with a focus on image, is an excellent choice for parents who are single and want a sleeker appearance. However the tandem mode can make it feel long and heavy to push. It comes with a frame that expands in size to accommodate a second seat. It can be used with a variety of car seats, buggy seats, and carrycots (two at a time or separately). The iCandy Wave is another lightweight tandem option that is easy to use and compatible with a range of car seats and carrycots.

Side by side

When it comes to selecting a double pram or pushchair there's plenty to think about. There are numerous configuration options available, whether you're purchasing for twins or close-in-age siblings.

Some models have reversible seating that let you customize the layout of your family throughout the toddler and baby years. This lets you keep your little ones in sight at all times and also gives them a chance to interact with one another as they walk.

Tandem prams are jogging buggies as well as all-terrain buggies. They are perfect for trips outdoors, such as to the park. They're also ideal for narrow aisles or checkouts in shops and supermarkets as they are more compact.

(PS249) Then, you can change to a single pram mode once your baby grows out of the rumble seat, or use the car capsule adaptors (PS53) to turn it into a traveler from newborn to toddler.

The Side by Side Pram by Babybee is another option. This double side-by-side pram comes in a variety of colors and is designed with a modern design. Designed to be used right from the moment of birth, you can add the LUNA Cocoon for newborns (PS262) and the LUNA Infant Seats (PS53 each).

You can fit up to three children on the seat board, or two toddlers in the seats and still have enough space to carry a shopping bag. Accessories such as rain covers are also available. In general, convertible double strollers are larger and heavier than single pushchairs as they have 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 reviewers considered it to be a bit heavy for the money.

Some convertible double strollers like the Baby Jogger City Select 2 comes with a carrycot which is suitable for newborns. This allows the double stroller to be compacted and reduce in size when not being used. The City Select's clever folding system that is one-handed impressed our test participants, but it takes some practice. It's also quite agile and responsive, despite being bigger than other double strollers.

Another option that is reasonably priced is an option that is affordable is the Cybex Mockingbird Single-to-Double Stroller. The seat can be transformed from a parent-facing infant car seat to a forward-facing toddler seat. The bassinet mode makes it a great option for infants.

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 works well for sleeping at night). The seats are extremely comfortable and our testers appreciate the fact that they can recline in a variety of positions. They also love the fact that the canopy has a window that peeks out and offers UPF 50+ protection. The rear seat can be raised so that the older child can stand on it to reach the shopping basket.

Cher said that the only disadvantage of the iCandy Peach was its weight. However, she believed this was offset because it's easy to move and offers plenty of storage space, including two cup holders for children and parents seats-back pockets, as well as a large basket under the seat. Cher also loved that the seats can be reversed so that they face each other. This is ideal for siblings who want to talk and interact when out and out and about.

A lighter, but equally impressive choice is the Delta Children LX side-by-side stroller that weighs just 18 lbs. It is compact and has a self-standing fold, making it easy to transport and put in your trunk or at home. Parents love the quality of the materials and workmanship as well as the affordable price. The only downsides are that the seats don't recline as much as other models we have tested and the rear seat isn't as prominent because of its position as it is higher than the seat in front.

Another popular option is the Joolz Geo 3, which is slim, sleek and easy to steer, with an appealing design and a lifetime guarantee. It is important to remember that, despite their smaller size Side by side prams are more spacious than tandem and in-line doubles and can be tricky to navigate on busy streets or in shops.
