Buying a Double Pram Pushchair

A double pram pushchair is the ideal option for parents who have more than one child. They are usually convertible, allowing you to attach a bassinet, another seat or car capsule.

This stylish and lightweight pram can be transformed to a twin with a clever frame that expands in size. It can also accommodate 2 carrycots, infant seats or a stroller. The canopy is UPF 50+ and has windows that can be seen from afar.

Comfort

If you're expecting a new child or your toddler is already an avid walker and you've been taking family walks or long day outings with them, a double pram pushchair might be a great investment for you. It's important to keep it in mind that not all double prams are the same and you must select the right one to suit your lifestyle.

Side by side double prams offer 2 seats next to each other, so that your children can view each other and have fun while on a walk. However, they tend to be wider than single prams and, therefore, may not fit through certain doors or be difficult to maneuver on busy footpaths or in shopping centers. They can also be larger when folded.

Tandem (in-line) double prams are slightly easier to manoeuvre but not as narrow as single prams. They can be more difficult to fold because the seat is typically further away from the handle and they may contain more components to put together when you're ready to use them again. They also cost more than a double side-by-side pram.

Some first-time parents opt for a convertible double pram in order to future-proof their purchase and can use it in double or single mode, based on your family's needs. They tend to be quite large and bulky when folded, and might not fit your toddler after they've outgrown their pram seat. Research before buying.

Joolz offers different double prams that can be used tandem or in line. They are simple to convert, and offer great features for families growing. The Venus is a good example. It is our top-selling twin pram as it can be used from birth with the addition of newborn cocoons (PS59 each) to create a flat space for your babies. It can be converted into a single-pram with the addition of a toddler board, when your children are ready for independent walking.

Safety

To keep children safe and comfortable during outings it's important to choose a double pram pushchair that has padding for the harnesses and seats. Double prams can store more than single prams, making it easier to transport snacks, extra clothing and toys for both children. If you're looking to pick a side-by-side double pram or one in front of the other there are plenty of options to choose from.

The most popular option is a convertible double pram. They begin as a single stroller and can be transformed to accommodate a second seat, bassinet/carrycot, or an infant car seat. They are ideal for parents who have two children close to their age and want to secure their purchase in the future.

Tandem prams, on the other hand, offer more flexibility in seating and space for the child to sit or stand while the parent pushes. They're not foolproof as long as sibling rivalries are concerned, so it's best to try and avoid having them in the same room at the same time as much as possible.

The two types of double strollers are available in a variety of styles and colors and designs, so you can pick the one that best fits your family. Many people choose a side-by-side double pram due to its versatility. It can be easily converted into a twin travel system by simply adding an Maxi Cosi or Cybex car seat to the frame.

To save money, a lot of our double prams are available with a matching twin stroller set. The sets include everything you need to transform your new prams into twin travel systems, which include two spacious toddler seats and sun canopy, a large basket and adapters to car seats. This lets parents save money by not needing to purchase an additional twin pushchair stroller. It is ideal for families who frequently take to the road. The Double Trouble Twin Pram, for example, comes with a pair of toddler seats that are suitable for babies and can be used in conjunction with the Maxi-Cosi or Cybex Infino car seat to form an entire twin travel system.

Storage

It can be a daunting task to buy a double pushchair, however it is worth doing some research before making your purchase. There are many factors to consider such as the comfort of your children as well as you as parents folding, weight, size and wheels. It is also important to take into consideration the fabric and the structure. A well-constructed stroller will last longer, can be repaired quickly and be more valuable at the time of resales.

Another feature to consider is the number of seats or pram bassinets that the double pushchair can accommodate. If you're planning to make your purchase, opt for a tandem (in-line) double buggy. This type of double stroller allows the children to be placed side-by-side which makes it easier to maneuver through doors and on public transportation. Tandem double buggies are generally larger overall than a single pushchair, however, so it is essential to verify the dimensions prior to buying.

If you're looking for a stylish double pram pushchair that is city-friendly look no further than the Joolz Geo 3 Double. This compact model can be used in public transport as well as through narrow doors. It is able to accommodate twins, or a toddler and a baby and can be used together with UPPAbaby's PiggyBack board for older siblings. The Geo 3 is easy-to-steer, has a large basket area and is backed by a lifetime warranty for added peace of mind.

If you're not looking for a stroller that can grow with your child there are plenty of other options to choose from. There are numerous single-seat strollers that are compact and have an ample storage basket underneath the chassis as well as a parent tray. Some models come with a single hand fold and swivel wheels at the front for better maneuverability. These models are perfect for short walks, day trips or running around. These models are perfect for parents and grandparents who wish to load their pushchairs into their car's trunk, or onto public transportation. This model is available in a range of stylish colors, so you're certain to find one that matches your family's aesthetic.

Style

For many parents, the design of their double pram pushchair is a major factor to consider. There are many fashionable and practical options to meet the needs of every person.

The most popular option is a side-by-side double pushchair that has two fixed seats for children of similar age. They tend to be smaller than tandem or in-line double pushchairs making them easier to slide through doors and navigate on crowded footpaths and in shops. They can be used in conjunction with carrycots or car seats in the event that they are needed, based on your preference.

A single-to-double conversion kit lets you to transform your existing pushchair by adding an additional seat. This is a great option if you are looking to secure your investment for the future and avoid the expense of buying an entirely new double buggy. Our preferred choice for this is the Joolz Geo3 double pram which blends both styles and features an elegant frame that expands in width to accommodate a second seat. It can be used with two carseats or carrycots and has a space underneath to accommodate a toddler seat if your older child is ready for it.

The Babybee LUNA is a stylish alternative. This extremely safe and stylish double pram is designed to suit infants from birth to 5 years with both seats independently recline to a flat position (which is recommended for newborns until they reach around 6 months in age). The LUNA can also be used with two car seats or a cosy LUNA cocoon. It is compliant with Australian safety standards.

Double prams are an excellent choice for families with close-aged children. These prams may be slightly larger than other double buggies and they are harder to maneuver on busy footpaths or up and down kerbs.

Try the Cybex DUO2 that is available in duo or mono mode. It has a large basket that sits behind the seat when it is in parent-facing mode. The seat can be reversible so you can put your child facing either you or the rest of the world.
