Buying a Double Pram Pushchair

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

Lightweight and stylish The sleek and stylish pram converts into a twin with an innovative frame that expands the width. It can also accommodate two carrycots or infant seats and comes with a massive UPF 50+ canopy that has peekaboo windows.

Comfort

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

Double prams that are side by side have two seats adjacent to each other, so that your children can view each other and engage with one another walking. However, they tend to be larger than single prams, and thus may not be able to fit through certain doors or be difficult to maneuver on busy footpaths or in shopping centres. They also weigh more when folded.

Tandem double prams (in-line) are easier to maneuver, but not as compact. They are more difficult to fold because the seat is typically farther away from the handle. Also, they may require more parts once you are ready to use them. They are also more expensive than a side-by-side double pram.

Some parents who are first-time parents choose an convertible double pram to future-proof their purchase 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 child after they've outgrown their seat. Make sure you do some research prior to buying.

It can also be converted into one with the addition of a toddler board once your children are ready to move on to walking on their own.

Safety

To keep the children secure and comfortable when out, it's crucial to choose a double pram pushchair that has cushioned harnesses and seats.

It doesn't matter if you choose a side-by-side double pram or one that is front of the other, there are plenty of options to think about.

The most well-known option for double prams is a convertible one. These start off as a single pram, but can later be combined with the second seat, a carry cot/basintinet as well as infant car seats. They're ideal for those who have two children close to their age and want to secure their purchase in the future.

Tandem prams, on the other hand, provide more flexibility in seating and allow for the child to stand or sit while the parent pushes. They're not foolproof as far as sibling rivalries are concerned though it's advisable to avoid having them in the same room in the same place if possible.

Both types of double prams are available in a wide selection of colors and styles too so you can find the perfect one for your family's needs and tastes.

Another aspect to consider is the number of bassinets, or prams, that the double pushchair is able to accommodate. You can ensure your purchase's future by opting for a tandem buggy (in-line). This kind of double stroller has the children positioned on opposite sides, which makes it easier to navigate doorways and public transportation. Tandem double buggies are often wider in general than a single pram triple pushchair, however, so it is important to confirm the measurements before purchasing.

Style

The style of their double pushchair is important to many parents. Luckily, there are plenty of stylish and practical options available to meet the needs of any.

The most popular option is a side-by-side double pushchair which offers two fixed seats for children of similar age. These are often narrower than tandem or in-line double pushchairs, making them easier to fit through doors and navigate crowded footpaths and in stores. They can also be used 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 by the addition of a second seat. This is an ideal option if want to future-proof your investment and avoid the expense of purchasing a new double buggy. Our preferred choice for this is the Joolz Geo3 double pram which blends both styles and features a clever 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 to take it.

Both seats able to recline independently to a completely flat position (which is recommended for babies until they reach around 6 months old). The LUNA can also be used with two car seats or a cosy LUNA cocoon. It complies with Australian safety standards.

Non-convertible side-by-side double prams can be an ideal option, particularly for families with children who are close in age. These prams may be a bit wider than other double buggies, and are more difficult to navigate on busy footpaths, or up and down kerbs.
