The proper stroller or pram is among the most important things to consider.
Tandem prams, also referred as "in-line" double prams are a classic design with two seats or bassinets placed side by side. 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 is able to accommodate toddlers up to three years old. older. Certain models feature reversible seating so you can choose to have your children face one another or look at you. Many tandems also have the option of converting into a single pushchair in the event that you decide your oldest child doesn't require the second seat.
A tandem is less expensive than twin prams and can be an excellent choice for parents who want to save money without having to sacrifice safety or functional. A tandem can be heavy and difficult to steer, especially when you're tripping over curbs. It is also less stable than twin prams, especially if an older child is seated in the front. A tandem can also be tricky to fit onto public transport and is difficult to maneuver on narrow roads.
The iCandy Peach, a popular model that focuses on image, is an excellent option for parents with one child who want an elegant style. However the tandem mode can make it feel a bit heavy and long to push. It comes with an innovative frame that can be expanded to accommodate the second seat, and it can be used with multiple combinations of carrycots, buggy chairs 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 range of car seats and carrycots.
Side by side
When it comes to choosing a double pushchair or pram there's plenty to think about. There are many configuration options available, 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 set up to accommodate infants with a bassinet on top, while the larger toddler or infant is in the seat below.
Some models have reversible seats that allow you to customize the configuration for your family during the toddler and baby years. This allows you to see your children at all times and allows them to connect with them while they walk.
Tandem prams can be jogging buggies, or all-terrain buggies. They are ideal for trips outdoors, such as to the park. These are also good for narrow aisles or checkouts in supermarkets and shops as they are less bulky.
The Redsbaby JIVE3 pram, for example, can be used in tandem mode from birth with the addition of an rumble seat. (PS249) It is then possible to switch to the single pram mode once your child gets used to the rumble seat or select the adaptors for car capsules (PS53) to turn it into a travel system for newborn to toddler.

In general, convertible double strollers are larger and heavier than single pushchairs as they are required to be capable of holding 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 thought it was a bit heavy for the price.
Some convertible double strollers, like the Baby Jogger City Select 2 comes with a carrycot which is suitable for babies. This helps to reduce the size of the double stroller when not in use, and makes it more compact. The City Select's clever folding system that is one-handed impressed our test participants, but 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. The seat can be converted from a parent facing infant car seat to an forward-facing toddler seat. The bassinet-style mode is a great option for infants.

It can be used to create a tandem by incorporating a second seat kit. It feels agile and responsive, and our testers were impressed by its sleek design.

Convertible double strollers are an excellent alternative for parents who have children and anticipate the arrival of a second. The iCandy Peach allows you to transform from a single to a double pushchair, with the addition of a toddler seat or the brand's optional carrycot (which is suitable for sleeping at night). The seats are extremely comfortable and our test subjects love the fact that they can recline in various positions. They also appreciate the design of the canopy, which has a window that peeks out and offers UPF 50+ protection. The rear seat can be raised high to allow the child of a higher age can stand on it to reach the basket of shopping.
Cher said that the one downside of the iCandy Peach was its weight. But she felt that this was compensated for because it is easy to move and has plenty of storage with two cup holders for children and parents as well as seat-back pockets and a large basket under the seat. Cher also liked that the seats can be turned so that they be positioned to face each other, which is perfect for siblings who like to chat and have conversations when they are out and out and about.

It weighs only 18 pounds, is compact, and has self-standing fold, making it simple to transport or put in your trunk. Parents love the quality of the materials and workmanship and the price is low. The only downside is that the seats don't recline as much as other models we've examined and the rear seat isn't very well-lit due to its position as it's higher than the front seat.
Another popular choice is the Joolz Geo 3, which is slim and sleek. It is also easy to steer, with an attractive design and a lifetime guarantee. It's worth bearing in mind that, despite their smaller size Side by side prams remain wider than tandem and in-line doubles and can be tricky to navigate on busy footpaths or in stores.
