Buying a Double Pram Pushchair
A double pram pushchair is the ideal option for parents with more than one child. They usually convert and allow you to connect an additional seat as well as a bassinet or car capsule.
Stylish and lightweight This sleek stroller transforms into a twin using an innovative frame that expands widthways. It also accommodates 2 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 a walking warrior and you've found yourself going on family walks or long day outings with them, then a double pram pushchair might be a great investment for you. It is important to keep in mind that not all double
prams pushchairs are alike, and you need to pick the right one that is suitable for your needs.
Double prams with side by side seats let your children interact and see each other when they go for a walk. However, they are typically wider than single prams and therefore may not fit through certain doors or be difficult to maneuver on busy footpaths or in shopping centers. They are also heavier when folded.
Tandem (in-line) double prams are a bit more maneuverable, but they aren't as narrow as single
good prams. They can be more difficult to fold because the seat is usually further away from the handle and they may contain more components to put together when you're ready to use them again. They can also be more expensive than a side-by-side double pram.
Many first-time parents opt for a convertible double pram in order to ensure their purchase is secure for the future and have the option of using it in either single or double mode depending on your family's requirements. They are usually quite large and bulky when folded, and might not be suitable for your child after they've outgrown their pram seat. Research before purchasing.
Joolz offers a variety of double pram pushchairs in tandem or in-line style that are easy to convert and are great for your growing family. The Venus is our most loved twin pram because it can be used right from birth, including the addition of newborn cocoons. (PS59 per cocoon) This provides a level space for your baby. It can also be converted to a single by the addition of a toddler board when your children are ready to move on to walking on their own.
Safety
To keep both children secure and comfortable on their outings, it is important to select a stroller with cushioned harnesses. Double prams also often offer more storage space than single prams, which makes it easier to transport snacks, extra clothing, toys and other necessities 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 plenty of options to choose from.
The most well-known option is a convertible double pram. They begin as a single stroller, but can be converted to accommodate an additional seat, bassinet/carrycot or infant car seat. They're perfect for families who have two children close in age and are looking to make their purchase future-proof.
Tandem prams are a different matter. They offer more seating flexibility and allow children 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 avoid having them in the same seat at the same time as much as possible.
Both types of double strolls are available in a variety of colours and styles to help you pick the one that best fits your family. Many people prefer the side by side double pram for its versatility as it can be easily adapted into a twin travel system simply by adding a Maxi-Cosi or Cybex baby car seat to the frame.
If you are looking for a less expensive option, a lot of our double prams are available with a twin stroller set. The sets include everything you need to turn your new prams into twin
travel pram systems. This includes two large toddler seats with sun canopy, a large basket and adapters to car seats. This lets parents save money by not having to purchase a separate
twin stroller and is ideal for families who often take to the roads. The Double Trouble Twin Pram, for example is equipped with a pair of 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
A double pram pushchair can seem like a daunting task however, it's worth your research before making your purchase. There are a myriad of factors to consider, including the comfort of your children and parents, fold, weight, size and wheels. You should also consider the fabric and construction. A stroller that is well-constructed will last longer, and can be repaired quickly and have a higher value at the time of resales.
Another aspect to consider is the number of bassinets, or prams, 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 features the children positioned side by side making it easier to navigate doorways and on public transport. Double buggies that are tandem are typically larger overall than a single pram pushchair, but it is essential to verify the measurements before purchasing.
If you're looking for a chic double pram pushchair that is city-friendly take a look at the Joolz Geo 3 Double. This
compact travel stroller model is able to be used in public transport as well as through narrow doors. It can accommodate twins or a baby and toddler and can be used with UPPAbaby's PiggyBack board for older siblings. The Geo 3 is easy-to-steer, comes with a large basket and is backed by a lifetime warranty for added peace ofmind.
If you're not looking for a stroller that can adapt to your child's needs There are many alternatives to choose from. There are many small, single-seat pushchairs which come with a large undercarriage storage basket and tray for parents. Some models feature a one hand fold and swivel wheels at the front for better maneuverability. These models are great for day trips, short walks or
running pram around. These models are perfect for grandparents and childcare providers who want to easily put their pushchairs in their car's boot or onto public transport. This model comes in a variety of fashionable colors, so you're sure to find one that suits your family's aesthetic.
Style
For many parents, the style of their double pram pushchair is a big aspect to think about. There are numerous stylish and practical options available to satisfy the preferences of all.
The most popular option is a side-by-side double pram which offers two fixed seats for children of similar ages. They are typically smaller than tandem and in-line double prams which makes them easier to navigate through doors and along busy footpaths and in shops. They can also be used with carrycots or car seats if needed, depending on your preference.
Another option is a single-to double pram conversion kit that allows you to convert your existing pushchair into double one with just the addition of the second seat. This is an ideal option if want to ensure your investment is secure and avoid the expense of purchasing a brand new double buggy. Our preferred choice for this is the Joolz Geo3 double pram which blends both styles and features an elegant frame that can be expanded to accommodate the second seat. It can be used for two carrycots, carseats and toddler seats once your older child is older enough.
Other fashionable options include the Babybee LUNA pram. This extremely safe and stylish double pram is specifically designed to fit babies from birth to five years old. Both seats that can recline independently to a completely flat position (which is recommended for babies until they reach 6 months in age). The LUNA can be used in conjunction with the cozy LUNA newborn cocoon, or with two car seats and is able to conform to all Australian safety standards.
Non-convertible side by side double prams can be an excellent option, particularly for families with children who are close to their age. These prams can be a bit wider than other double buggies and are more difficult to navigate on busy footpaths, or down and up kerbs.
Try the Cybex DUO2 which is 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 is reversible to allow you to have your baby facing either you or the rest of the world.
