Buying a Double Pram Pushchair

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

This stylish and lightweight pram can be transformed to a twin with a clever frame that increases in width. It can also accommodate 2 carrycots, infant seats or a stroller. The canopy is UPF 50+ and comes with windows that peek out.

Comfort

A double pram pushchair is an excellent investment if you are expecting a second baby or if your toddler has already become a walking warrior. You might end up taking them for long family walks or day trips. It is important to keep in mind that not all double prams are alike, and you need to select the right one that is suitable for your needs.

Double prams with side by side seats let your children communicate and meet while walking. They are usually wider than single prams, and may not be able to pass through certain doorways. They may also be difficult to maneuver on busy footpaths or in shopping malls. They are also 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 generally farther 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 parents who are first-time parents choose a convertible double pram in order to future-proof their purchase and have the option of using it in either single or double mode depending on your family's requirements. However, they can be very large and bulky when folded and might not be suitable for your child once they grow out of their pram seat so be cautious to conduct thorough research prior to buying.

Joolz offers a variety of double prams pushchairs that can be used tandem or in a line. They are simple to convert and provide great functionality for growing families. The Venus is our most loved twin pram, as it can be used right from birth, with the addition of newborn cocoons. (PS59 per one) This provides an open space for your baby. It can be transformed into a single pram by adding a toddler board once your children are ready for independent walking.

Safety

To keep both children secure and comfortable while out it is crucial to select a stroller with padded harnesses. Double prams also often have more storage space than single prams. This makes it easier to carry snacks, extra clothes toys, and other essentials for both children. Whether you want to choose a side by side double pram or one in front of the other there are a lot of options to consider.

The most well-known option for the double pram is a convertible model. It starts as a single pram and can later be combined with a second seat or carry cot/basintinet as well as infant car seats. These are ideal for parents with two children who are similar in age and wish to ensure their purchase.

Tandem prams on the other hand offer more seating flexibility and also a place for the child to sit or stand on a toddler board while the parent pushes them. They're not foolproof as long as squabbles between siblings are concerned, however it is recommended to avoid putting them in the same place simultaneously if possible.

Both types of double strolls are available in a variety of colours and styles and designs, so you can pick the one that is most suitable for your family. Many families choose a side-byside double pram due to its versatility. It can easily be converted into a twin travel system by adding the Maxi Cosi or Cybex car seat to the frame.

For a more cost-effective option, many of our double prams are available with a matching twin stroller set. These sets come with everything you need to transform your new prams into twin travel systems, including a pair spacious toddler seats and sun canopy, a large basket, and adapters for car seats. This helps parents save money by not having to purchase a separate twin stroller. It is also great for families who travels often. The Double Trouble Twin Pram, for example is equipped with a pair of toddler seats that are suitable from birth and can be used with the Maxi-Cosi or Cybex Infino car seat to create a complete twin travel system.

Storage

A double pram pushchair can seem like a daunting task but it's worthwhile to do the research prior to making a purchase. There are so many factors to consider, including comfort for your children and parents, fold, weight, size and wheels. It's also important to look at the quality of the fabric and how it is constructed. A well-made stroller will last longer, and can be repaired easily and will have more value when the time of resales.

Another feature to consider is the number of seats or pram bassinets that the double pushchair stroller is able to accommodate. You can ensure your purchase's future by opting for a tandem buggy (in-line). This type of double stroller permits the children to be placed side-byside, making it easier to maneuver through doors and on public transport. Tandem double buggies are often bigger overall than a single pram pushchair, but it is essential to verify the dimensions prior to purchasing.

The Joolz Geo 3 Double is a stylish and comfortable double pushchair. This compact model is able to be used in public transport as well as through narrow doors. It can be used to accommodate twins or a toddler and a baby, and can even be used with UPPAbaby's PiggyBack board for older siblings.

There are a variety of alternatives that you can choose from if you don't want an infant stroller to grow with your child. There are many compact, single-seat strollers with a large storage basket under the chassis as well as a parent tray. Some models feature a one hand fold and swivel wheels on the front to allow for greater mobility. These models are great for short walks, day trips or for running errands. They're perfect for parents or grandparents who need to swiftly and easily take the pushchair into their car's boot or onto public transport. This model comes in a range of fashionable colors, so you'll be able to find one that matches your family's style.

Style

For many parents, the style of their double pram pushchair is a major consideration. There are numerous stylish and practical options available to suit every taste.

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

Another alternative is a single-to-double conversion kit which lets you convert your current pushchair into a double one with the addition of a second seat. This is an ideal option if want to future-proof your investment and save the cost of purchasing a brand 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 carrycots or carseats and includes a space for a toddler seat when your older child is ready for it.

Other fashionable options include the Babybee LUNA pram. This incredibly safe and stylish double pram is made to be suitable for infants from birth to 5 years with both seats that can recline independently to a completely flat position (which is recommended for infants until they reach around 6 months old). The LUNA can be used with the cozy LUNA newborn cocoon or with two car seats, and it conforms to all Australian safety standards.

Double prams can be an ideal option for families with close-aged children. These prams are a bit wider than other double buggies and they can be difficult to navigate on busy footpaths, or up and down kerbs.

Try the Cybex DUO2 which is available in mono or duo mode. It features a large shopping basket that is placed behind the seat in parent-facing mode and has a reversible seat so you can choose whether your baby is facing you or the world.
