Buying a Double Pram Pushchair

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

It is stylish and light This sleek stroller can be converted into a twin by using a clever frame that can be expanded widthways. It can also fit 2 carrycots, infant seats or a stroller. The canopy is UPF 50+ and comes with peekaboo windows.

Comfort

If you're planning to have a second child or your toddler is a walking warrior and you've noticed that you're going on family walks or full day outings with them, then a double pram pushchair could be a must-have for you. It's important to keep in mind that not all double prams are alike and you must pick the right one to suit your lifestyle.

Side by side double prams provide two seats next to each other so that your children can see each other and interact whilst on a walk. However, they are generally wider than single prams and therefore may not fit through some doorways or be tricky to manoeuvre on busy streets and in shopping centers. They can also be larger when folded.

Tandem double prams (in-line) are more convenient to maneuver, however they aren't as compact. They are more difficult to fold because the seat is often further away from the handle. Additionally, they could require more parts once you are ready to use them. They are also more expensive than a double side-by-side pram.

Some first-time parents opt for an convertible double pram to future-proof their purchase and have the option of using it in single or double mode depending on your family's requirements. However, they are often quite wide and bulky when folded. They may not be suitable for your toddler as they grow out of their pram seat, so be careful to do some thorough research prior to purchasing.

Joolz offers a range of different double pram pushchairs in a tandem or in-line design that are simple to convert and have great functionality for the growing family. The Venus is a good prams example. It is our best-selling twin pram as it can be used from birth with the addition of the newborn cocoons (PS59 each) to create a lay-flat space for your infants. It can also be converted into a single-pram with the addition of a toddler board when your children are ready for independent walking.

Safety

In order to keep both children comfortable and safe during outings it's important to select a double pushchair with padded harnesses and seats. Double prams are more spacious than single prams, which makes it easier to carry snacks, additional clothes and toys for both children. Whether you want to choose a side-by-side double pram or one in the front of each other, there are lots of options to think about.

The most popular option is a convertible double pram. 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. These are great for parents with two children who are similar in age and wish to ensure their purchase.

Tandem prams however provide more room for seating and allow children to stand or sit on a toddler's board while the parent pushes them. They aren't foolproof as far as sibling squabbles are concerned it's advisable to try and avoid having them both in the same seat at the same time as much as possible.

The two types of double strollers come in a variety of styles and colors, so you can choose the one that best suits your family. Many people choose a side-by-side double pram because of its versatility. It can be easily converted into a twin travel pushchair system by adding an Maxi Cosi or Cybex car seat to the frame.

Many of our double strollers can be purchased as a twin-stroller compact set. This is a cost-effective option to buy a double pram. The sets include everything you need to transform your new prams into twin travel pram systems, which include a pair spacious toddler seats with sun canopy, a large basket and adapters to car seats. This allows parents to save money by not having to buy a separate twin stroller and is also great for families who often take on the road. The Double Trouble Twin Pram, for example is equipped with a pair of toddler seats that are suitable from birth and can be combined with the Maxi-Cosi or Cybex Infino car seat to create a twin travel system.

Storage

It can be a daunting task to buy a double pushchair. However, it's worth researching before making your purchase. There are a myriad of factors to consider including the comfort of your children and parents size, weight, fold and wheels. It is important to also consider the quality of the fabric and its fabrication. A well-constructed stroller will last longer, can be repaired easily and will have a higher value at selling.

A double pushchair's capacity to accommodate seats or bassinets is another feature worth considering. You can ensure your purchase's future by selecting a tandem double buggy (in-line). This type of double stroller allows children to be positioned side-by-side, making it easier to navigate through doorways and on public transportation. Tandem double buggies can be wider than a single pushchair. It is essential to confirm 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 on public transportation and through narrow doors. It can be used to accommodate twins or a toddler and a baby and is used together with UPPAbaby's PiggyBack board for older siblings. The Geo 3 is easy to navigate, has a large basket and comes with a lifetime warranty for added peace of mind.

There are a variety of alternatives that are available if you don't need the pram to grow with your child. There are plenty of single-seat pushchairs that are compact and have an enormous undercarriage storage basket and a tray for parents. Some have an easy fold and swivel front wheels for extra manoeuvrability. These models are perfect for day excursions, short walks or for running through the streets. They're ideal for grandparents or childcare providers who require the ability to quickly and effortlessly load the pushchair into their car's boot or onto public transport. This model comes in a range of stylish colours, so you're sure to find one that fits your family's style.

Style

The style of their double pushchair pram is a major consideration for many parents. There are a lot of stylish and practical options there that will suit the preferences of anyone.

A side-by-side pram that has two fixed seats is a favorite for parents of children of similar age. They tend to be smaller than tandem or in-line double pushchairs, making them easier to slide through doors and navigate busy footpaths and in stores. You can use them with car seats or carrycots if you prefer.

Another alternative is a single-to-double conversion kit which lets you convert your existing pushchair into a double one with just the addition of the second seat. This is ideal if you want to ensure your investment is secure and avoid the cost of purchasing a new double buggy. The Joolz Geo3 is our favourite double pram for this. It blends both styles and features an innovative frame that expands in the width to accommodate a second seat. It can be used to accommodate two carrycots, carseats and toddler seats once your older child is old enough.

The Babybee LUNA is a stylish option. This extremely safe and stylish double pram is made to be suitable for babies from birth to five years old. Both seats independently recline to a flat position (which is recommended for babies until they reach six months old). The LUNA can be used with a cosy LUNA newborn cocoon or 2 car seats and adheres to all Australian safety standards.

Non-convertible side by side double prams can be an ideal option, particularly for families with children close to their age. These prams may be slightly larger than other double buggies and they are harder to maneuver on busy footpaths or on kerbs that go up and down.

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