Tandem prams, also known as side-by-side prams are popular options because they can be set up so that the infant can be seated in the bassinet on top while the older child or toddler is sitting in the second chair.

(PS249) If your child is no longer a member of the rumble chair, you can switch to one pram mode. You can also opt to use the car capsule adaptors to convert it from a newborn to toddler travel system.

In general, convertible double strollers are larger and heavier than single pushchairs due to the fact that they must 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 test participants found it to be somewhat heavy for its price.

Some convertible double strollers, such as the Baby Jogger City Select 2 has a carrycot option that is suitable for infants. This helps to reduce the size of the double stroller double when not in use, and makes it more compact. Our testers were impressed with the City Select's clever one-handed fold, although it takes some practice. It's also very fluid and agile even despite its size.

The Cybex Mockingbird single-to-double stroller is another option that is reasonably priced. It can be transformed from a parent facing infant car seat to a forward-facing toddler seat. The bassinet-style mode is a great choice for infants.

If you're looking for more flexibility Consider a convertible that has dual modes like the iCandy Peach. It's a compact double jogging stroller buggy that can hold two children side-by-side, but it can also be used as a tandem with the addition of a second-seat kit and rider board. It is nimble and responsive, and our testers were impressed by its sleek design.

Lightweight

Some parents like to future-proof 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 double by the addition of a toddler's seat, or the brand's carrycot (which is ideal for overnight sleeping). The seats are extremely comfortable and our test subjects love the fact that they can recline in a variety of positions. They also love the feature that the canopy comes with an open window that can be seen from afar and has UPF 50+ protection. The rear seat can be raised high so that the child who is older can stand on it to reach the shopping basket.

The only issue with the iCandy Peach is that it is quite heavy, but Cher found that it was offset by its ease to move around and how big the storage area is, with two hanging child and parent cup holders, seat-back pockets and a large underseat basket. Cher also loved that the seats can be reversed to face each other, which is perfect for siblings who like to chat and have conversations while out and about.

The Delta Children LX Side-by-Side Stroller is a lighter option, but still impressive. It weighs only 18 pounds, is lightweight and features an auto-standing fold, making it simple to transport or store in your trunk. Parents appreciate the quality of the materials and craftsmanship as well as the low price point. The only downside is that the seats don't recline as far as other models we've tried, and the rear seat isn't very well-lit due to its positioning - it's raised higher than the front seat.

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 smaller size, side by side prams remain more spacious than tandem and in-line doubles. They may be difficult to navigate on busy streets or in shops. However, they're usually shorter too, so can be easier to turn in tight spaces than tandems.
