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 and allow you to connect another seat, bassinet or car capsule.

This sleek and light pram can be converted into a twin by using an innovative frame that increases in size. It also accommodates two infant seats or carrycots and features a hugely generous UPF 50+ canopy with windows that peek out.

Comfort

If you're expecting a new child or your toddler is a walking warrior and you've found yourself going on family walks or on full-day outings with them, a double pram pushchair may be a great investment for you. It's important to keep in mind that not all double prams are the same and you should select the right one that is suitable for your needs.

Double prams that are side by side provide two seats next to each other, so that your children can view each other and have fun while on a walk. However, they are generally wider than single prams and therefore may not pass through some doors or be tricky to manoeuvre on crowded footpaths and in shopping centers. They also weigh more when folded.

Tandem (in-line) double prams are a little easier to manoeuvre but not as narrow as single prams. They are more difficult to fold as the seat is typically farther away from the handle. Additionally, they could require more parts once you are ready to use them. They're also more expensive than a double side-byside pram.

Some first-time parents choose a double convertible pram to be able to secure their purchase and use it in double or single mode, based on the requirements of your family. They are usually quite large and bulky when folded, and may not suit your child after they've outgrown their seat. Do some research before buying.

Joolz offers a range of different double pram pushchairs in a tandem or in-line design that are simple to convert and offer great value for the growing family. The Venus is our most well-loved twin pram because it can be used right from birth, including the addition of newborn cocoons. (PS59 per cocoon) This creates an open space for your baby. It can also be converted to a single by the addition of a toddler's board once your children are ready to transition to walking independently.

Safety

To keep the children secure and comfortable when out, it's crucial to select a double pram pushchair with padding for the harnesses and seats. Double prams are more spacious than single prams, making it easier to transport snacks, other clothing and toys for both children. If you're looking to pick a side-by-side double pram or one that is front of the other, there are lots of options to think about.

The most well-known option is a convertible double pram. It starts as a single pram but then can be paired with a second seat or bassinet/carry cot, as well as infant car seats. These are ideal for parents who have two children who are similar in age and want to future-proof their purchase.

Tandem prams however offer more seating flexibility and a space for a child to sit or stand on a toddler's board while the parent pushes them. They aren't foolproof as far as squabbles between siblings are concerned though it's advisable to try and avoid putting them in the same room in the same place when you can.

Both types of double prams are available in a broad range of colours and styles as well, so you can pick the perfect one for your family's requirements and preferences. Many families opt for a side-by-side double pram due to its versatility as it can easily be adapted to a twin travel system simply by adding a Maxi-Cosi or Cybex baby car seat to the frame.

A lot of our double strollers are available in a set of twin strollers. This is a cost-effective method of purchasing a double pram.

They can be used with the Maxi-Cosi Infino and Cybex Infino Car Seat to create an entire twin travel system.

Stores

A double pram pushchair might seem like a daunting task, but it's worth doing your research before making your purchase. There are many aspects to consider including comfort for your children and parents fold, weight, size and wheels. It's important to also consider the quality of the fabric and how it is constructed. A stroller that is well-constructed will last longer, can be repaired easily and have a higher value at selling.

Another feature to consider is the number of bassinets, or prams, that the double pushchair is able to accommodate. If you're looking to secure the future of your purchase, consider a tandem (in-line) double buggy. This type of double triple stroller permits the children to be placed side-byside, making it easier to maneuver through doors and on public transportation. Tandem double buggies are often larger overall than a single pram pushchair car seat, but it is important to confirm the dimensions prior to buying.

Style

For many parents, the style of their double pram pushchair is a major consideration. There are many stylish and practical options available to satisfy the preferences of all.

A side-byside pram with two fixed seats is a popular option for parents of children of the same age. They tend to be narrower than tandem and in-line double prams which makes it easier to maneuver through doors and along busy footpaths and in shops. They can be used with car seats or carrycots in the event that you prefer.

A single-to double conversion kit enables you to convert 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 save the expense of purchasing a brand new double buggy. The Joolz Geo3 is our favourite double pram for this. It combines both styles and features an innovative frame that expands in width to accommodate a 2nd seat. It can be used for two carrycots, carseats and toddler seats when your older child is old enough.

The Babybee LUNA is yet another fashionable option. This stylish and safe double pram is specifically designed to fit babies from birth to 5 years with both seats able to recline independently to a flat position (which is recommended for babies until they reach 6 months old). The LUNA can also be used with two car seats or a comfortable LUNA cocoon. It complies with Australian safety standards.

Non-convertible side-byside double prams can be an excellent option, particularly for families with children who are close in age. It is important to keep in mind that these kinds of prams are usually wider than other double buggies and aren't easy to maneuver on busy footpaths as well as up and down kerbs.

Try the Cybex DUO2, that is available in mono or duo mode. It has a large grocery basket which sits behind the seat when facing towards parents and comes with a reversible seating so you can choose whether your baby is facing you or to the world.
