Buying a Double Pram Pushchair
The best choice for parents with more than one child is a double pushchair. They're usually convertible, which means you can attach a bassinet, another seat or car capsule.
Stylish and lightweight The sleek and stylish pram converts into a twin with a clever frame that expands in width. It can also accommodate two infant seats or carrycots and features a hugely generous UPF 50+ canopy with peekaboo windows.
Comfort
If you're expecting a new child or your toddler is already 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 an essential investment for you. It's important to keep in mind that not all double prams are the same and you must choose the best one that is suitable for your needs.
Double prams with side by side seats allow your children to interact and see each other when they go for a walk. They are generally larger than single prams and may not be able to pass through certain doors. They can also be difficult to navigate on busy footpaths or in shopping malls. They are also generally bulkier when folded.
Tandem double prams (in-line) are more convenient to maneuver, however they aren't as wide. They are more difficult to fold since the seat is often farther away from the handle. Additionally, they could require more components when you are ready to use them. They are also more expensive than a double side by side pram.
Some parents who are first-time parents choose a convertible double pram to make sure they are able to purchase it in the future. They also can use it in either double or single mode based on your family's needs. They tend to be quite large and bulky when folded and may not suit your toddler after they have outgrown their pram seat. Make sure you do some research prior to purchasing.
Joolz offers a variety of double pram pushchairs in tandem or in-line style that are simple to convert and have great functionality for your growing family. The Venus is our most well-loved twin pram, as it can be used from birth, with the additions of newborn cocoons. (PS59 per cocoon) This creates an open space for your baby. It can also be converted into a single by the addition of a toddler's board once your children are ready to move on to walking independently.
Safety
To ensure that both children are secure and comfortable on their outings, it is important to select a stroller with padding for the harnesses. Double prams are more spacious than single prams, making it much easier to transport snacks, other clothes and toys for both children. There are numerous options available depending on whether you opt for a double pram that is side by side or one that is the front.
The most well-known option for the double pram is a convertible one. It starts as a single pram but then can be used with an additional seat or bassinet/carry cot, as well as infant car seats. They're ideal for those who have two children close in age and want to future proof their purchase.
Tandem prams on the other hand offer more seating flexibility and allow the child to stand or sit on a toddler board while the parent pushes them. They aren't foolproof as far as sibling rivalries are concerned, however it's advisable to avoid having them in the same seat simultaneously as much as possible.
Double prams of both types are available in a wide variety of styles and colours as well, so you can pick the perfect one for your family's needs and tastes. Many families opt for a side-by-side double pram because of its flexibility. It is easily transformed into a twin travel system by adding a Maxi Cosi or Cybex car seat to the frame.
If you are looking for a less expensive option, many of our double prams can be purchased with a matching twin stroller set. These sets come with everything you need to transform your new pram to a twin travel system. This includes two spacious toddler seats as well as a sun canopy, large shopping basket and adapters for child car seats. This saves money for parents by not having to purchase a separate twin
stroller. It's also a great option if you are a family that travels a lot. The Double Trouble Twin Pram, for instance, comes with two toddler seats that are suitable for babies and can be used in conjunction with the Maxi-Cosi or Cybex Infino car seat to create a complete twin travel system.
Storage
It's a daunting task to purchase a double
pushchair pram, but it's worthwhile to do some research before you make your purchase. There are many factors to consider such as the comfort of your children and you as parents, the fold, weight, size, and wheels. It is also important to think about the fabric and the construction. A well-constructed stroller will last longer, is able to be repaired quickly and have more value when the time of resales.
Another feature to consider is the number of pram bassinets or seats that the double pushchair can accommodate. You can make sure that your purchase is future-proof by selecting a tandem double buggy (in-line). This type of double stroller has the children positioned side by side making it easier to get through doors and on public transport. Tandem double buggies may be larger than one pushchair. It is important to verify the measurements prior to purchase.
The Joolz Geo 3 Double is an elegant and urban-friendly double pushchair. This compact model can be used in public transport as well as through narrow doors. It is able to accommodate twins, or a toddler and a baby, and can even be used together with UPPAbaby's PiggyBack board for older siblings. The Geo 3 is easy to steer, has a large basket area and comes with a lifetime guarantee for added security.
If you're not looking for a pram that will expand with your child, there are plenty of alternatives to pick from. There are many single-seat pushchairs that are
compact strollers and have an enormous undercarriage storage basket and tray for parents. Some models have a one hand fold and swivel wheel on the front to allow for greater mobility. These models are ideal for day trips, short walks or for running errands. These models are ideal for grandparents and childcare providers who wish to put their pushchairs in their car's boot or on public transportation. This model is available in a variety of fashionable colors, so you're sure to find one that suits your family's aesthetic.
Style
The style of their double pushchair (

The most popular option is a side-by-side double pushchair which offers two fixed seats for children of similar ages. They are typically narrower than tandem or in-line double pushchairs, making them easier to fit through doors and navigate on crowded footpaths and in shops. They can be used in conjunction with carrycots or car seats when needed, based on your preference.
A single-to-double conversion kit allows you to convert your existing pushchair by adding another seat. This is a great way to safeguard your investment for the future and avoid purchasing a new double buggy. The Joolz Geo3 is our favourite double pram for this. It is a blend of two styles and features an elegant frame that can be expanded in width to accommodate a 2nd seat. It can be used with two carrycots or carseats and has a space underneath to accommodate a toddler seat if your older child is ready to take it.
Other stylish options include the Babybee LUNA pram. This stylish and secure double pram is suitable for children from birth up to age five. Both seats can be reclined independently and can be lowered to a flat position. The LUNA can be used with a cozy LUNA newborn cocoon, or with two car seats, and it conforms to all Australian safety standards.
Non-convertible side-by-side double prams are also an ideal option, particularly for families with children close to age. It is important to keep in mind that these types 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 basket that sits behind the seat when in parent-facing mode. The seat can be reversible to allow you to have your child facing either you or the rest of the world.
