However, after the excitement fades and reality begins to sink into your life, you'll be faced with a multitude of decisions about how to prepare your family for the arrival of your baby one or one. One of the most important considerations is choosing the correct pram or pushchair.

Tandem prams, also referred to as "in-line" double prams, are a classic style with two bassinets or seats placed side by side. The front seat is usually cushioned and reclines to a flat position making it suitable for newborns and the second seat is more upright and can accommodate toddlers up to three years old. of age. Some models have reversible seating so you can decide if your children face one another or look at you. Many tandems have the option of being converted into a single pushchair in the event that you decide that your oldest child doesn't require the second seat.

A tandem is less expensive than twin prams and is an excellent choice for parents looking to save money without losing safety or function. A tandem can be a bit heavy and difficult to steer, particularly when you're tripping over the kerbs. It's also less stable than twin pushchairs especially when a bigger child is in the front. A tandem can be difficult to fit on public transport, and it can be difficult to navigate narrow pavements.

The iCandy Peach, a popular model that focuses on image, is a fantastic alternative for parents who are single and want a sleeker appearance. However, the tandem mode makes it feel heavy and long to push. It has a clever frame that expands widthways to allow the addition of the second seat, and it is compatible with many combinations of carrycots, buggy chairs and car seats (two at once or separately). The iCandy Wave tandem is another lightweight option that's user-friendly and compatible with a range of carrycots or car seats.

Side by side

When it comes to selecting a double pram or pushchair there's a lot to think about. Whether you're buying for twins or siblings close in age, there are a number of configuration options to take into account. Tandem prams, also known as side-by-side prams, are a popular choices because they can be configured so that the infant can sit in the bassinet at the top while the toddler or older child is seated in the second seat.

Tandem prams can be jogging buggies or all-terrain buggies. They are ideal for trips outdoors, such as to the park. They're also a good choice if you need to brave narrow checkout aisles or isles in supermarkets because they tend to be smaller than single-seaters.

The Redsbaby JIVE3 Pram, for instance can be used as a tandem pram starting from birth in dual mode, with the addition of the rumble seat (PS249). You can then switch to the single pram mode when your little one grows out of the rumble seat or choose the adaptors for car capsules (PS53) to turn it into a travel system from newborn to toddler.

The Side by Side Pram from Babybee is another alternative. The side-by-side double to single buggy pram is available in a range of colors and features an elegant modern design. It is designed to be used from birth, you can also include the LUNA newborn Cocoon (PS262) and the LUNA Infant Seats (PS53 each).

It's available in a variety of carrycot and infant seat combinations to cater for twins or siblings of varying age groups and is easy to fold.

There is the possibility of fitting two toddlers in the seats or a third rider on the seat board and still have room for a shopping basket, and the capability to add additional accessories such as rain covers is a benefit. Typically, convertible double buggy for twins strollers are bigger and heavier than single pushchairs because they have to be capable of holding two or more children. The Graco Modes Nest2Grow is one instance of a low-cost convertible that is extremely user-friendly, but our test subjects felt it was a little heavy for its 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 it is not being used and makes it more compact. Our test subjects were awed by the City Select's innovative one-handed fold, though it takes some practice. It's also quite agile and responsive, despite it being bigger than double strollers.

The Cybex Mockingbird single-to-double stroller is an alternative that is affordable. The seat can be transformed from a parent-facing infant car seat to a forward-facing toddler seat. The bassinet feature is a great choice for infants.

For more flexibility, look for a convertible that has dual modes like the iCandy Peach. It's a compact double buggy that can hold 2 children side by side and can be used as a tandem with the addition of a second seat kit and rider board. It's responsive and agile, and our testers liked its sleek design. It's not as light as the other pushchairs in our list however it does come with an ample shopping basket that is ideal for parents with bags of toys and food.

Convertible double strollers are a great option for parents who already have children and anticipate another. The iCandy Peach allows you to convert from a single to a double pushchair, with the addition of either an infant seat or the brand's optional carrycot (which is suitable for sleep overs). Our test subjects were impressed by the comfort of the seats and love the fact that they both recline to multiple positions, feature built-in foot and leg supports and large UPF 50+ canopy that has peekaboo windows. 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.

The only issue with the iCandy Peach is that it is quite heavy. However, Cher felt it was overcome by how easy it is to maneuver and how large the storage area is with two hanging child and parent cup holders, seat-back pockets and a large underseat basket. She 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 interact while out and out and about.

A lighter and equally impressive choice is the Delta Children LX side-by-side stroller that weighs only 18 pounds, is extremely compact double stroller and has an auto-standing fold that makes it easy to transport and put in your trunk or at home. Parents appreciate the quality of the materials and craftsmanship as well as the low price point. The only drawback is that the seats don't recline as far as the other models we've tried, and the rear seat isn't very well-lit due to its position as it's higher than the front seats.

Another popular option is the Joolz Geo 3, which is slim and sleek. It is also easy to steer, with an attractive design and lifetime guarantee. While they're smaller than side-by-side strollers, they can be larger than tandems and inline doubles. This can make them difficult to maneuver on busy footpaths and in shops. However, they are often shorter too, so are easier to maneuver in tight spaces than tandems.
