However, once the excitement of the beginning fades and the reality sets in, you could be faced with a myriad of decisions about how to prepare your family for the arrival of your little one or one. One of the most important considerations is choosing the best pram or pushchair.

Tandem prams (also called "in-line" double prams) are a classic style that have two seats or pram bassinets arranged side-by-side.

Certain models feature the option of reversible seating, which lets you decide if your children face one another or look at you. Many tandems can be converted to a single pushchair when your oldest child is no longer in need of the second seat.

In terms of cost the tandem is cheaper than a twin pushchair and is a great option for parents who want to save money, but not compromise on safety or functionality.

Typically, convertible double strollers are bigger and heavier than single pushchairs as they are required to be able to accommodate two or more children.

Some convertible double strollers like the Baby Jogger City Select 2, have a carrycot option which is suitable for babies. This allows the double stroller to be compacted and reduced in size when it is not used. Our test subjects were awed by the City Select's unique one-handed fold, although it requires some time to master. It's also quite agile and responsive, despite it being bigger than other double strollers.

The Cybex Mockingbird single-to-double stroller is another affordable option. It can be transformed from a child-facing car seat to an forward-facing toddler seat. The bassinet feature is a great option for infants.

The rear seat can be raised to provide a standing platform for a child to climb on and off road Double buggy, so that they can reach items in the shopping basket.

Cher said that the only downside of the iCandy Peach was its weight. However, she felt this was offset because it's easy to move and has plenty of storage with two cup holders for children and parents seats-back pockets, as well as an enormous basket underneath the seat. Cher also appreciated that the seats can be turned to be positioned to face each other, which is ideal for siblings who like to chat and have conversations when out and about.

The Delta Children LX Side-by-Side Stroller is a smaller model, but still impressive. It weighs just 18 pounds, is lightweight, and has self-standing fold, making it simple to transport or put in your trunk. Parents are impressed by the quality of materials and workmanship, and the price. The only drawback is that the seats don't recline as much as some other models we've tested and the back seat isn't as well-lit due to its positioning - it's raised higher than the front seat.

The Joolz Geo 3 is another popular option. It's slim, sleek, easy to steer and has a lifetime guarantee. While they're smaller side-by-side prams may be larger than tandems and inline doubles. This can make them difficult to maneuver on busy footpaths and in shops. However, they're generally shorter, which means they can be easier to turn in tight spaces than tandems.
