Buying a Double Pram Pushchair

A double pram pushchair is a great option for parents with more than one child. They are usually convertible, allowing you to connect a bassinet, a second seat or car capsule.

Stylish and lightweight This sleek stroller transforms into a twin using a clever frame that can be expanded the width. It can also accommodate 2 carrycots, infant seats or a stroller. The canopy is UPF 50+ and comes with peekaboo windows.

Comfort

If you're expecting a second child or your toddler is already a walker and you've been taking family walks or on full-day outings with them, then a double pram pushchair could be a great investment for you. It is important to keep in mind that not all double prams are created equal and you must choose the best one that fits your needs.

Double prams that have side by side seats let your children interact and see each other while on a stroll. However, they tend to be larger than single prams, and therefore may not pass through some doors or be tricky to manoeuvre on crowded footpaths and in shopping centres. They also tend to be heavier when folded.

Tandem double prams (in-line) are easier to maneuver, but aren't as wide. They are more difficult to fold as the seat is usually farther away from the handle. Also, they may require more parts when you are ready to use them. They're also more expensive than a double side-by-side pram.

Some parents who are first-time parents choose a convertible double pram to ensure their purchase is secure for the future and have the option of using it in double or single mode based on your family's requirements. They're usually quite big and bulky when folded, and may not suit your toddler after they have outgrown their pram seat. Research before buying.

Joolz offers different double prams and pushchairs that can be used tandem or in line. They are easy to change, and provide an excellent function for families that are growing. The Venus is our most popular twin pram because it can be used right from birth, and with the additions of newborn cocoons. (PS59 per cocoon) This creates a level space for your baby. It can also be converted to a single one with the addition a toddler board once your children are ready for independent walking.

Safety

To ensure that both children comfortable and safe on outings, it's essential to select a double pram pushchair that has cushioned seats and harnesses. Double prams usually offer more storage space than single prams, which makes it easier to transport snacks, extra clothing, toys and other necessities for both children. There are many options available, whether you choose a double pram side by side or in front.

The most popular option for the double pram is a convertible one. They start as a single pram, but can later be combined with the second seat, a bassinet/carry cot, as well as infant car seats. They are perfect for parents with two children of the same age and wish to ensure their purchase.

Tandem prams are a different matter. They provide more flexibility in seating and a space for a child to stand or sit on a toddler board while the parent facing pushchair pushes them. However, they aren't 100% safe when it comes to sibling fights. It is best to avoid putting them in the same car.

Double prams of both types are available in a vast range of colours and styles too so you can find the ideal one to suit your family's needs and preferences. Many families opt for a side-by-side double pram because of its versatility. It can be easily converted into a twin travel system by 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. These sets include everything you require to convert your new stroller into a twin travel system, including two spacious toddler seats as well as a sun canopy, large shopping basket and adapters for child car seats. This lets parents save money by not needing to purchase an additional twin stroller. It is also great for families that frequently go on the road. The Double Trouble Twin Pram, for example is equipped with a pair of toddler seats that are suitable for babies and can be used with the Maxi-Cosi or Cybex Infino car seat to create a twin travel system.

Storage

There are a variety of factors to take into consideration including the comfort of your children and you as parents as well as the fold, weight, size, and the wheels. It's important to also consider the fabric quality and fabrication. A stroller that is well-constructed will last longer, is able to be repaired quickly and be more valuable at the time of resales.

The capacity of a double pushchair to accommodate bassinets or seats is a further benefit worth considering. You can ensure your purchase's future by selecting a tandem double buggy (in-line). This type of double stroller has the children placed in a row, which makes it easier to maneuver through doors and on public transportation. Tandem double buggies may be larger than a single pushchair. It's important to check the dimensions prior to purchasing.

Style

For many parents, the style of their double pram pushchair is a big aspect to think about. There are a variety of stylish and practical options available to suit every taste.

A side-byside pram with two fixed seats is a popular choice for parents of children of the same age. These are often shorter than tandem or in-line double pushchairs making them easier to fit 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.

Another option is a single-to double pram conversion kit which lets you convert your current pushchair into a double one with the addition of the second seat. This is ideal if you want to ensure your investment is secure and avoid the expense of buying a brand new double buggy. The Joolz Geo3 is our favourite double pram for this. It is a blend of both styles and has an innovative frame that expands in size to accommodate a second seat. It can be used with two carseats or carrycots and includes a space to accommodate a toddler seat if your child is older and ready to take it.

The Babybee LUNA is a stylish alternative. This stylish and safe double pram is made to be suitable for infants aged between birth and 5 years with both seats able to recline independently to a flat position (which is recommended for newborns until they are around 6 months in age). The LUNA can be used with a cozy LUNA newborn cocoon or 2 car seats and adheres to all Australian safety standards.

Double prams are a good option for families with close-aged children. These prams are slightly larger than other double buggies and are more difficult to navigate on busy footpaths or down and up kerbs.

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