Buying a Double Pram Pushchair
A double pram pushchair is the ideal option for parents with more than one child. They are typically convertible and allow you to connect an additional seat or bassinet, or even a car capsule.
Lightweight and stylish, this sleek pram transforms into a twin using an innovative frame that expands the width. It can also accommodate two carrycots, infant seats or a stroller. The canopy is UPF 50+ and has peekaboo windows.
Comfort
If you’re expecting a second child or your toddler is a walker and you’ve been taking family walks or full day outings with them a double pram pushchair could be an essential investment for you. It is important to keep in mind that not all double prams are alike and you must choose the best one that fits your needs.
Double prams that have side by side seats let your children be together and interact when they go for a walk. They are generally larger than single prams, and may not fit through certain doors. They can also be difficult to navigate on busy footpaths or in shopping centres. They are also bulkier when folded.
Tandem double prams (in-line) are easier to maneuver, however they aren’t as wide. They are more difficult to fold as the seat is typically farther away from the handle. Additionally, they might 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 an convertible double pram to future-proof their purchase and can use it in either double or single mode based on the needs of your family. They are usually quite large and bulky when folded, and may not suit your toddler once they’ve outgrown their pram seat. Do some research before purchasing.
Joolz offers a variety of double prams pushchairs that can be used tandem or in line. They are simple to convert and provide an excellent function for families that are growing.

It can also be converted into a single with the addition of a toddler’s board when your children are ready to walking on their own.
Safety
In order to keep both children comfortable and safe on outings, it’s essential to select a double pushchair with padded harnesses and seats. Double prams usually offer more storage space than single prams, which makes it easier to transport snacks, extra clothing, toys and other necessities for both children. There are a variety of options to choose from 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 is a convertible double pram. It starts as a single pram and then can be paired with an additional seat or carry cot/basintinet 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 good prams, on the contrary, provide more flexibility in seating and space for the child to sit or stand while the parent pushes. But, they’re not 100% safe when it comes to sibling fights. It is recommended to avoid putting them in the same car.
Double prams of both types are available in a wide variety of styles and colours to ensure that you find the ideal one to suit your family’s needs and tastes.

This type of double stroller has the children placed in a row, which makes it easier to navigate doorways and on public transportation. Double buggies with tandems can be wider than a single pushchair. It is essential to confirm the dimensions prior to purchasing.

Style
For many parents, the style of their double pram pushchair is an important factor to consider. Luckily, there are plenty of stylish and practical options out there to suit any taste.
A side-by-side pram that has two fixed seats is a favorite for parents of children of similar age. They tend to be narrower than tandem or in-line double pushchairs making them easier to fit through doors and navigate busy footpaths and in shops. You can use them with carrycots or car seats should you prefer.
Another alternative is a single-to-double conversion kit which lets you convert your existing pushchair twin into a double one with just the addition of a second seat. This is an ideal option if want to ensure your investment is secure and avoid the expense of buying an entirely new double buggy. Our favourite option for this is the Joolz Geo3 double pram which blends both styles and features a clever frame that expands in width to accommodate the second seat. It can be used with two carrycots or carseats and includes a space for a toddler seat when your child is older and ready for it.
The Babybee LUNA is a stylish alternative. This stylish and safe double pram is suitable for children from birth up to age five. Both seats can reclined independently in a flat position. The LUNA can also be used with two car seats or a cozy LUNA cocoon. It adheres to Australian safety standards.
Double prams are an ideal choice for families with close-aged children. It is important to keep in mind that these types of prams are generally larger than other double buggies, and aren’t easy to maneuver on crowded footpaths and up and down kerbs.
Try the Cybex DUO2 which is available in mono or duo mode. It comes with a large basket that sits behind the seat when in the parent-facing position. The seat can be reversed so you can have your baby facing either you or the rest of the world.
