Some models allow you to decide if your children will look at each other or outwards. Many tandems can be converted into a single pushchair when your oldest child is no longer required to have the second seat.
In terms of price, a tandem is much cheaper than a twin pushchair, and is a great option for parents who want to save money but not compromising on safety or function. However, the drawback of a tandem is that it may be a bit heavy and lengthy to steer, especially when you're bumping up or down kerbs. Additionally, it is usually less stable than a twin pram, especially if the child who is older is seated in the front. A tandem isn't always easy to fit on public transportation, and it can be difficult to navigate narrow pavements.
The iCandy Peach is a popular model that is a good choice for a single parent looking for a sleeker design however, the tandem mode can make it feel quite heavy and long when pushing. It's got 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).

Side by side
When it comes to choosing a double pushchair or pram there's a lot to consider. If you're buying a double pram for twins or siblings close in age there are a variety of configuration choices to think about. Tandem prams, also known as side-by-side prams, are popular choices because they can be configured so that the infant can be seated in the bassinet at the top while the older child or toddler is sitting in the second chair.
Some models have reversible seating that let you customize the layout of your family during the baby and toddler years. This allows you to see your children at all times, and gives them the chance to be a part of the journey when they walk.

The Redsbaby JIVE3 Pram, for instance can be used as a tandem pram right from birth in the dual mode, with the addition of the rumble seat (PS249). If your child is no longer a member of the rumble chair, you can change to a single pram mode. You can also choose to use the car capsule adaptors to convert it from a newborn to toddler travel system.

It comes in a range of carrycots and infant seats to accommodate twins or siblings with different age ranges. It's also easy to collapse. It's also fairly light, making it a good option for people with smaller vehicles or have limited space to store.

It is possible to fit up to three children on the seat board, or two toddlers in the seats with enough space for shopping bags. Accessories like rain covers are also available. Most convertible double strollers are larger and heavier than single pushchairs as they have to be capable of holding two or more children. The Graco Modes Nest2Grow convertible is an example of an affordable convertible that is simple to use. However, our testers found it to be quite heavy for the money.
Some convertible double
strollers double strollers, such as the Baby Jogger City Select 2 comes with a carrycot which is suitable for babies. This allows the double stroller to be compacted and reduce in size when not being used. The City Select's innovative folding system that is one-handed impressed our testers but it does require some time to master. It's also quite agile and responsive, despite being bigger than other double strollers.
Another option that is reasonably priced is an affordable option is the Cybex Mockingbird Single-to-Double Stroller. The seat converts from a parent-facing infant car seat to a forward-facing toddler car seat and the bassinet option is a fantastic option for infants (although remember that babies under 4 months old should not use strollers to sleep due to the risk of positional asphyxia).
If you're looking for more flexibility look into a convertible with dual modes like the iCandy Peach. It's a
compact double buggy double stroller that can accommodate two children in a tandem. It can also be used to create a tandem by incorporating a second seat kit. It feels agile and agile, and our testers liked its sleek design. It's not as light as the other pushchairs on our list, but it offers a large shopping basket which is ideal for parents with bags full of toys and food.

cheap double stroller pushchair with the addition of a toddler seat or the brand's carrycot (which is suitable for sleep overs). Our test subjects were impressed by the comfort of the seats and loved the fact that they can recline in a variety of positions, feature built-in leg and foot supports and large UPF 50+ canopies with peekaboo windows. The rear seat can be raised high to allow the child of a higher age can stand on it to reach the shopping basket.
Cher said that the one downside of the iCandy Peach was its weight. However, she believed this was offset because it is easy to move and has plenty of storage with two cup holders for parents and children, seat-back pockets, and a large basket under the seat. Cher also appreciated the feature that the seats are reversible, so they can be positioned to face one another for siblings who want to talk and get together while out and about.
A lighter, but equally impressive option is the Delta Children LX side-by-side stroller, which weighs only 18 pounds, is extremely compact and features a self-standing fold, making it easy to transport and put in your trunk or at home. Parents appreciate the quality of the materials and workmanship as well as the affordable price. The only downside is that the seats don't recline as far 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.
