The announcement that you are expecting a baby is among life's most exciting experiences. But, once the initial excitement wears off and reality sinks into your life, you'll be faced with a variety of choices regarding how to prepare your family for the arrival of your new one or one. One of the most important things to consider is choosing the best pram or pushchair.

Tandem prams (also called 'in-line' double buggy with car seat prams) are a classic style that feature two seats or pram bassinets arranged side-by-side. The front seat, which is usually cushioned, reclines and is suitable for babies. The second seat is a bit higher and designed to accommodate toddlers as young as 3 years old. Certain models let you choose whether your children look at each other or outwards. Many tandems have the option to convert into a single pushchair when you decide your oldest child doesn't require the second seat.

In terms of cost, a tandem is much cheaper than a twin stroller side by side (read this) pushchair, and is a great option for parents looking to save money without compromising on safety or functionality. A tandem can be heavy and difficult to steer, particularly when bumping over the kerbs. It is also less stable than twin prams particularly if a larger child is riding in the front. A tandem can also be tricky to fit onto public transport, and it can be difficult to maneuver on narrow pavements.

The iCandy Peach is a popular image-conscious model that's a great option for a single parent who wants something streamlined however, the tandem mode can make it feel quite heavy and long when pushing. It comes with an expanded frame that increases 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

There are many aspects to take into consideration when selecting a double pushchair or pram. There are a variety of configuration options to choose from, regardless of whether you're buying for twins or close-in-age siblings. Tandem prams, referred to as side-by-side prams, are a popular choices because they can be configured so that the infant is able to sit in the bassinet at the top while the older child or toddler is sitting in the second seat.

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 kids always in your sight and also gives them a an opportunity to interact with each other while they walk.

Tandem prams are typically jogging buggies or all-terrain ones which makes them ideal for outdoor excursions and the park. They're also ideal for narrow aisles and checkouts in shops and supermarkets as they are more compact.

The Redsbaby JIVE3 Pram, for example, can be used as a tandem pram starting from birth in 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 the single and double stroller pram mode. You may also opt to make use of the car capsule adaptors to transform it from a newborn to toddler travel system.

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

The Egg 2 is a stylish sleek pushchair that is able to be converted into a double side by side. It's available in a range of carrycot and infant seat combinations to cater for twins or siblings of varying age groups and is easy to fold. It is also relatively light, making it a good option for those with small cars or limited space for storage.

Convertible

Some of the best double pushchairs or prams can be made into various seats to meet your changing needs. You can 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. Convertible double strollers are generally larger and heavier than single pushchairs, as they have to hold two or more children. The Graco Modes Nest2Grow is one example of a convertible that is affordable which is very user-friendly, but our testers felt that it was a little heavy for its price.

Some double strollers that convert into convertibles, such as the Baby Jogger City Select 2 come with a carrycot suitable for babies. This allows the double stroller with infant car seat stroller to be folded down and reduced in size when it is not used. The City Select's innovative single-handed folding impressed our testers but it does require some time to master. It's also extremely agile and responsive, despite its size.

Another option that is reasonably priced is an affordable option is the Cybex Mockingbird Single-to-Double Stroller. It converts from a parent-facing infant car seat to a forward-facing toddler car seat and the bassinet-style mode is a fantastic option for infants (although be aware that babies younger than 4 months old should never sleep in strollers because of the risk of asphyxia in a position).

If you're looking for more flexibility, consider a dual-mode convertible like the iCandy Peach. It's a compact double stroller that can hold two children at the same time. It can also be used to make a tandem by adding a second seat kit. It's nimble and responsive, and our test users liked its sleek design. It's not quite as lightweight as some of the other models we've reviewed, but it has a large basket that is useful for parents carrying bags filled with toys and other items.

Lightweight

Some parents want to ensure the future of their double buggy when they have a child and are expecting another and a convertible model is a good option. The iCandy Peach can be converted from a single pushchair into 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 how comfortable the seats are and adore the fact that they can recline in a variety of positions, come with built-in leg and foot supports and large UPF 50+ canopy with peekaboo windows. The rear seat can be lifted high to offer an elevated platform for a child to get on and off, so they can access items in the shopping basket.

Cher stated that the only disadvantage of the iCandy Peach was its weight. However, she felt this was offset by the fact that it is easy to maneuver and offers plenty of storage space, including two cup holders for parents and children as well as seat-back pockets and a large basket under the seat. Cher also loved that the seats can be turned so that they face each other, which is perfect for siblings who love to talk and interact when out and out and about.

The Delta Children LX Side-by-Side Stroller is a lighter option, but still impressive. It weighs only 18 pounds, is small, and has an auto-standing fold, making it simple to transport or put in your trunk. Parents love the quality of the materials and workmanship and the low price point. The only negatives are that the seats do not recline as much compared to other models we've tested and the rear seat is not as well-lit because of its position - it is raised higher than the seat in front.

Another popular choice is the Joolz Geo 3, which is slim sleek, stylish and easy to steer, with an attractive design and lifetime guarantee. It is important to remember that, despite their slimmer design side by side prams remain wider than tandem and in-line doubles and can be difficult to navigate on busy footpaths or in stores. However, they are often shorter, which means they are easier to maneuver in tight spaces than tandems.
