Buying a Double Pram Pushchair

A double pram pushchair is a great option for parents who have more than one child. They are typically convertible and allow the attachment of a a second seat or bassinet, or even a car capsule.

This sleek and light pram can be converted into a twin by using a clever frame which can be expanded in the width. It can also accommodate two carrycots or infant seats and has a huge UPF 50+ canopy, with peekaboo windows.

Comfort

If you're expecting a second child or your toddler is an avid walker and you've been going on family walks or on full-day outings with them, then a double pram pushchair may be a great investment for you. It's crucial to keep in mind that not all double pram is alike and it's essential to select the best one for your needs.

Double prams that have side by side seats let your children be together and interact while on a stroll. They are usually wider than single top prams, and may not fit through certain doorways. They may also be difficult to navigate on busy footpaths or in shopping malls. They also tend to be heavier when folded.

Tandem double prams (in-line) are easier to maneuver, but aren't as compact travel pram. They are more difficult to fold as the seat is typically farther away from the handle. Additionally, they could require more components when you are ready to use them. They're also more expensive than a double side-byside pram.

Some first-time parents opt for a convertible double pram to future-proof their purchase and can use it in either double or single mode based on your family's needs. They're usually quite big and bulky when folded and might not fit your toddler once they've outgrown their pram seat. Research before purchasing.

Joolz offers a variety of double pram pushchairs with a tandem or in-line layout that are easy to convert and offer great value for the growing family. The Venus for instance, is our most popular twin pram as it can be used from birth with the addition of the newborn cocoons (PS59 each) to create a flat space for your infants. It can also be converted to a single by the addition of a toddler's board when your children are ready to transition to walking independently.

Safety

To ensure that both children are secure and comfortable on their outings it is crucial to select a pushchair that has padded harnesses. Double prams have more storage than single prams, making it much easier to carry snacks, additional clothing and toys for both children. There are many options available for you to choose from a double pram that is side-by-side or in the front.

The most sought-after option for a double pram is a convertible model. It starts out as a single stroller but can be transformed to accommodate a second seat, bassinet/carrycot or infant car seat. These are ideal for parents who have two children who are similar in age and want to secure their purchase.

Tandem prams on the other hand, offer more flexibility in seating and space for the child to sit or stand while the parent pushes. They aren't foolproof as far as sibling rivalries are concerned, however it's advisable to avoid having them both in the same seat in the same place as much as possible.

Both types of double prams are available in a vast variety of styles and colours as well, so you can pick the perfect one for your family's needs and preferences. Many families opt for a side-by-side double pram due to its versatility. It can easily be converted into a twin travel system by simply adding an 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. The sets come with everything you need to convert your new stroller into a twin travel system including two spacious toddler seats and a sun canopy as well as a large shopping basket, and adapters for child car seats. This allows parents to save money by not having to purchase a separate twin stroller and is ideal for families who frequently take to the road. The Double Trouble Twin Pram, for example, comes with two toddler seats that are suitable for babies and can be used with the Maxi-Cosi or Cybex Infino car seat to create a complete twin travel system.

Storage

It can be a difficult task to purchase a double folding pushchair. However, it's worthwhile to do some research before making your purchase. There are many factors to consider including the comfort of your children as well as you as parents, the fold size, weight and wheels. It is also important to consider the fabric and construction. A properly-constructed pram will last longer, be repairable and will have a higher price for resales.

The ability of a double pushchair to accommodate seats or bassinets is a further benefit worth considering. You can make sure that your purchase is future-proof by selecting a tandem double buggy (in-line). This type of double stroller features the children placed in a row making it easier to navigate doorways and on public transportation. Tandem double buggies are generally bigger overall than a single pushchair, but it's essential to check the measurements before buying.

If you're looking to purchase a stylish double pram pushchair that is city-friendly, check out the Joolz Geo 3 Double.

If you're not looking for a pram that will adapt to your child's needs there are many other options to choose from. There are plenty of single-seat pushchairs that are compact and have an enormous undercarriage storage basket and tray for parents. Some models come with a single hand fold and swivel wheel at the front for better maneuverability. These models are great for day trips, short walks or for running through the streets. These models are perfect for parents and grandparents who want to easily put their pushchairs in their car's trunk or onto public transport. This model comes in a variety of stylish colors, so you can find one that matches your family's style.

Style

The style of their double pushchair is a major consideration for many parents. There are a lot of stylish and practical options there to suit any taste.

A common choice is a side-by-side double pushchair that has two fixed seats for children with similar ages. They tend to be shorter than tandem or in-line double pushchairs making them easier to slide through doors and navigate busy streets and in stores. You can use them with car seats or carrycots if you prefer.

A single-to double conversion kit enables you to transform your existing pushchair by adding another seat. This is a great option if you want to ensure your investment is secure and avoid the cost of purchasing a brand new double buggy. Our preferred choice for this is the Joolz Geo3 double pram which incorporates both styles in an innovative frame that expands in width to accommodate an additional seat. It can be used to accommodate two carrycots, carseats, or toddler seats when your child is old enough.

The Babybee LUNA is yet another fashionable option. This stylish and safe double pram is suitable for infants from birth to five. Both seats can reclined independently to 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 for newborns are an ideal choice for families with close-aged children. It is important to keep in mind that these types of prams tend to be larger than other double buggies and aren't easy to maneuver on busy footpaths as well as up and down kerbs.

Try the Cybex DUO2, available in duo or mono mode. It comes with a large basket that sits behind the seat when in the parent-facing position. The seat can be reversible so you can put your baby facing either you or the rest of the world.
