Buying a Double Pram Pushchair
A double pram pushchair is the ideal option for parents with more than one child. They are usually convertible and allow the attachment of a another seat or bassinet, or even a car capsule.
This sleek and light pram can be transformed into a twin by using a clever frame that expands in size. It also accommodates two infant seats or carrycots and has a huge UPF 50+ canopy with peekaboo windows.
Comfort
If you’re expecting a new child or your toddler is an avid walker and you’ve noticed that you’re taking family walks or long day outings with them, a double pram pushchair could be a must-have for you. It’s important to keep in mind that not all double prams are the same, and you need to pick the right one that is suitable for your needs.
Double prams that are side by side provide two seats next to each other so that your children can see each other and have fun while on a walk. They are usually wider than single prams and might not be able to fit through certain doors. They may also be difficult to navigate on busy streets or in shopping centers. They are also heavier when folded.
Tandem double prams (in-line) are easier to maneuver, but aren’t as compact. They can be more difficult to fold since the seat is typically farther away from the handle, and they might have more components to assemble when you’re ready to use them again. They can also be more expensive than a side-by-side double pram.
Some first-time parents opt for an 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 are usually 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 different double prams that can be used tandem or in line. They are easy to convert, and offer great features for families growing. The Venus is our most loved twin pram, since it can be used right from birth, and with the addition of newborn cocoons. (PS59 per one) This creates an open space for your baby. It can be transformed into a single pram with the addition of a toddler board when your children are ready to go on independent walking.
Safety
To keep both children secure and comfortable on their outings it is crucial to choose a pushchair with padded harnesses. Double prams are more spacious than single prams, making it easier to carry snacks, additional clothes and toys for both children. There are numerous options available depending on whether you opt for a double pram side-by-side or in front.
The most sought-after option for the double pram is a convertible one. These start off as a single pram but then can be paired with a second seat or bassinet/carry cot, as well as infant car seats. These are ideal for parents with two children who are similar in age and want to future-proof their purchase.
Tandem prams on the other hand provide more flexibility in seating and allow children to stand or sit on a toddler board whilst the parent pushes them. But, they’re not 100% safe when it comes to fighting between siblings. It is best to avoid placing them in the same place.
Double prams of both types are available in a broad range of colours and styles to ensure that you find the ideal model for your family’s needs and preferences. Many families prefer the side by side double pram for its versatility since it can easily be adapted into a twin travel strollers set-up simply by adding Maxi-Cosi or Cybex baby pram car seat to the frame.
Many of our double strollers can be bought in a set of twin strollers. This is a cheap way to purchase a double pram. These sets include everything you need to convert your new stroller into a twin-sized travel system including a pair of spacious toddler seats and a sun canopy as well as a large shopping basket and adapters for child car seats. This lets parents save money by not needing to purchase a separate twin stroller and is ideal for families who frequently take to the roads. The Double Trouble Twin Pram comes with a set of toddler seats suitable for babies from birth. They can be used with the Maxi-Cosi Infino or Cybex Infino Car Seat to create an entire twin travel system.
Stores
It can be a difficult task to purchase a double pushchair. However, it’s worth doing some research before you make your purchase. There are many aspects to consider, including comfort for your children and parents, fold, weight, size and wheels. Also, you should take into consideration the fabric and the structure. A quality pram will last longer, and be repairable and will have a higher resale value.
The capacity of a double pushchair to accommodate bassinets or seats is a further benefit worth considering. You can make sure that your purchase is future-proof by opting for a tandem buggy (in-line). This type of double stroller features the children placed in a row which makes it much easier to maneuver through doors and public transportation. Double buggies that are tandem are typically bigger in general than a single pram pushchair, however, so it is essential to verify the dimensions prior to purchasing.
If you’re looking for a stylish, city-friendly double pram pushchair, check out the Joolz Geo 3 Double. This sleek model has a small size that allows it to fit through narrow doors and on public transport. It is suitable for twins, a baby and a toddler, or even older siblings using the UPPAbaby PiggyBack board. The Geo 3 is easy-to-steer, comes with a large basket and is backed by an unbeatable warranty that will give you security.
There are plenty of other options that are available if you don’t need an infant stroller to adapt with your child. There are a variety of single-seat pushchairs that are compact and have a large undercarriage storage basket and parent tray. Some have a one-hand fold, and swivel front wheels for extra manoeuvrability. These models are perfect for short walks, day trips or for running around. These models are perfect for parents and grandparents who wish to load their pushchairs into their car’s boot, or onto public transportation. This model comes in a variety of fashionable colors, so you’re certain to find one that fits your family’s style.
Style
For many parents, the design of their double pram pushchair is an important consideration. There are many fashionable and practical options to meet the needs of every person.
A popular choice is a side-by-side double pram with two fixed seats for children of similar age. These are often smaller than tandem or in-line double pushchairs making them easier to slide through doors and navigate on busy streets and in shops. They can be used with carrycots or car seats in the event that you prefer.
Another option is a single-to double pram conversion kit which allows you to turn your existing pushchair into double one by the addition of the second seat. This is a great option if you want to future-proof your investment and avoid the cost of purchasing an entirely new double buggy. Our favourite option for this is the Joolz Geo3 double pram which incorporates both styles in an innovative frame that expands widthways to accommodate the second seat. It can be used to accommodate two carrycots, carseats, or toddler seats once your older child is old enough.
The Babybee LUNA is another stylish alternative. This stylish and safe double pram is suitable for children from birth until age five. Both seats can be reclined independently and can be lowered to a flat position. The LUNA can also be used with two car seats or a cozy LUNA cocoon. It complies with Australian safety standards.
Non-convertible side-by-side double prams are an ideal option, particularly for families with children who are close to their age. These prams are 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, that is available in mono or duo mode. It comes with an enormous basket that is placed behind the seat when it is in parent-facing mode. The seat can be reversible so you can have your child facing either you or the rest of the world.
