Buying a Double Pram Pushchair

A double pram pushchair is the best option for parents who have more than one child. They are typically convertible and allow you to connect an additional seat, bassinet or car capsule.

This stylish and lightweight pram can be converted into a twin by using an innovative frame that increases in size. It also accommodates 2 carrycots or infant seats and has a huge UPF 50+ canopy with windows that peek out.

Comfort

If you're expecting a second child or your toddler is an avid walker and you've been taking family walks or long day outings with them a double pram pushchair may be an essential investment for you. It's crucial to keep in mind that not all double pram is the same and it's important to pick the one that is best suited to your needs.

Double prams with side by side seats allow your children to communicate and meet while walking. They tend to be wider than single prams and may not fit through certain doors. They may also be difficult to navigate on busy streets or in shopping centers. They also weigh more when folded.

Tandem double prams (in-line) are more convenient to maneuver, but aren't as narrow. They are more difficult to fold because the seat is typically further away from the handle. Also, they may require more components when you are ready to use them. They also tend to be more expensive than a side-by-side double pram.

Some first-time parents opt for an convertible double pram to make sure they are able to purchase it in the future. They also can use 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. Do some research before purchasing.

Joolz offers a variety of double prams that can be used in tandem or in a line. They are simple to change, and provide great features for families growing. The Venus, for example, is our most popular twin pram because it can be used starting at birth with the addition of newborn cocoons (PS59 each) to create a lay-flat area for your baby. It can be transformed into a single-pram with the addition a toddler board, when your children are ready for independent walking.

Safety

To keep the children secure and comfortable on outings, it's essential to select a double pram pushchair that has padded seats and harnesses. Double prams typically have more storage space than single prams, which makes it easier to carry snacks, extra clothes, toys and other necessities for both children. It doesn't matter if you choose a side-by-side double pram or one that is front of the other, there are lots of options to consider.

The most popular option for a double pram set is a convertible model. They start as a single pram and then can be paired with the second seat, a bassinet/carry cot as well as infant car seats. These are ideal for parents who have two children of the same age and want to future-proof their purchase.

Tandem prams, on other hand, provide more flexibility in seating and allow for the child to stand or sit while the parent pushes. They aren't foolproof as far as sibling squabbles are concerned, so it's best to try and avoid having them both in the same seat at the same time if possible.

Both types of double prams are available in a wide selection of colors and styles to ensure that you find the ideal one to suit your family's needs and tastes. A lot of people opt for the side by side double pram for its versatility, as it can easily be adapted into a twin travel set-up simply by adding a Maxi-Cosi or Cybex baby car seat to the frame.

To save money, a lot of our double prams can be purchased with a twin stroller set. The sets include everything you need to transform your new prams into twin travel systems, including two spacious toddler seats, sun canopy, large basket, and adapters to car seats. This allows parents to save money by not having to buy a separate twin stroller (published here) and is ideal for families who often take on the road. The Double Trouble Twin Pram, for example, comes with two toddler seats that are suitable from birth and can be used with the Maxi-Cosi or Cybex Infino car seat to create a twin travel system.

Storage

It's a daunting task to buy a double pushchair, but it's worth doing some research before you make your purchase. There are so many factors to think about, including the comfort of your children and parents fold, weight, size and wheels. You should also consider the fabric and construction. A well-constructed stroller will last longer, can be repaired easily and be more valuable at resale.

A double pushchair's capacity to accommodate bassinets or seats is a further benefit worth considering. You can make sure that your purchase is future-proof by choosing a tandem double buggy (in-line). This type of double stroller allows children to be positioned side-by-side making it easier for them to maneuver through doors and on public transportation. Tandem double buggies can be wider than one pushchair. It is important to verify the dimensions prior to purchasing.

The Joolz Geo 3 Double is an elegant and urban-friendly double pushchair. This sleek model is small size that allows it to fit through narrow doors and on public transport. It is able to accommodate twins, or a baby and toddler and can be used together with UPPAbaby's PiggyBack board for older siblings. The Geo 3 is easy-to-steer, features a large basket and is backed by an unbeatable warranty that will give you peace of mind.

There are plenty of other options available if you don't want a pram to adapt with your child. There are a variety of single-seat pushchairs that are compact and have a large undercarriage storage bin and tray for parents. Some models have a one hand fold and swivel wheel on the front for greater mobility. These models are great for day excursions, short walks or for running around. They're perfect for grandparents or childcare providers who require the ability to swiftly and easily load the pushchair into their car's boot or onto public transport. The model is available in a variety of stylish colors, so you'll be able to choose one that is in line with the style of your family.

Style

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

A popular choice is a side-by-side double pushchair which offers two fixed seats for children of similar age. They tend to be narrower than tandem and in-line double prams which makes it easier to maneuver through doors, on busy footpaths and in shops. They can also be used with carrycots or car seats when needed, based on your preference.

A single-to-double conversion kit allows you to transform your existing pushchair by adding a second seat. This is a great option if you want to future-proof your investment and save the expense of buying a new double buggy. The Joolz Geo3 is our favourite double pram for this. It blends both styles and has a clever frame which expands in size 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 another stylish alternative. This stylish and secure double pram is suitable for infants from birth to five. Both seats can reclined independently in an upright position. The LUNA can also be used with two car seats or a cozy LUNA cocoon. It complies with Australian safety standards.

Double prams can be an ideal choice for families with close-aged children. But, it's important to keep in mind that these types of prams tend to be larger than other double buggies, and can be difficult to manoeuvre on crowded footpaths and up and down kerbs.

If you're looking for a smaller and less bulky option, try the Cybex DUO2, which is available in mono and duo mode. It features a large shopping basket that sits behind the seat when facing towards parents and comes with a reversible seating so that you can choose to have your baby facing either you or the world.
