Buying a Double Pram Pushchair
A double pram pushchair is a great 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.
Lightweight and stylish The sleek and stylish pram can be converted into a twin by using a clever frame that can be expanded in width. It also fits two infant seats or carrycots and has a huge UPF 50+ canopy that has peekaboo windows.
Comfort
A double pram pushchair is an excellent investment if you are expecting a second baby or when your toddler has already become a walker. You might find yourself taking the pushchair on long family walks or on day excursions. However, it’s important to keep in mind that not all double pram is created equal and it’s important to pick the one that is best suited to your needs.
Double prams that have side by side seats allow your children to communicate and meet when they go for a walk. However, they are generally wider than single prams and thus may not be able to fit through some doorways or be tricky to manoeuvre on busy streets and in shopping centres. They also weigh more when folded.
Tandem (in-line) double prams are a bit more maneuverable, but they aren’t as narrow as single prams. They can be more difficult to fold because the seat is generally farther away from the handle, and they may contain more components to assemble when you’re ready to use them again. They are also more expensive than a double side by side pram.
Some parents who are new to the world choose a double convertible pram to be able to ensure their investment and to use it in double or single mode, depending on the needs of your family. They tend to be quite large and bulky when folded and might not be suitable for your child after they’ve outgrown their pram seat. Make sure you do some research prior to buying.
Joolz has a variety of double prams and pushchairs that can be used in tandem or in a line. They are easy to change, and provide great features for families growing. The Venus is a good example. It is our top-selling twin pram as it can be used from birth with the addition of newborn cocoons (PS59 each) to create a lie-flat area for your baby. It can be converted into a single pram by adding a toddler board, when your children are old enough to be independent walking.
Safety
To keep the children secure and comfortable on outings, it’s essential to choose a double pram pushchair with padded harnesses and seats. Double prams can store more than single prams, making it easier to transport snacks, other clothes and double pram pushchair toys for both children. There are a variety of options to choose from for you to choose from a double pram that is side by side or in the front.
The most sought-after option for double prams is a convertible model. They begin as a single stroller but can be transformed to accommodate a second seat, bassinet/carrycot or an infant car seat. They are ideal for parents who have two children close to their age and want to make their purchase future-proof.
Tandem prams are a different matter. They provide more flexibility in seating and a space for children to sit or stand on a toddler board while the parent pushes them. However, they aren’t 100% safe when it comes to fighting between siblings. It is recommended to avoid putting them in the same car.
Both types of double strolls come in a variety of styles and colors to help you pick the one that best suits your family. Many people choose a side-by-side double pram because of its flexibility. It can easily be converted into a twin travel system by adding the Maxi Cosi or Cybex car seat to the frame.
Many of our double strollers can be bought in a matching twin-stroller set. This is a cost-effective method of purchasing a double pram.

It’s also a great option for families who travels frequently. The Double Trouble Twin Pram, for instance comes with a pair of toddler seats that are suitable for babies and can be used with the Maxi-Cosi or double pram pushchair Cybex Infino car seat to create a twin travel system.

The ability of a double pushchair to accommodate seats or bassinets is another feature worth considering. You can future-proof your purchase by choosing a tandem double buggy (in-line). This type of double cheap stroller allows children to be placed side-byside making it easier for them to navigate through doorways and on public transport. Tandem double buggies can be wider than one pushchair. It’s important to check the measurements prior to purchase.

Style
The style of their double pushchair pram is important to a lot of parents. There are numerous stylish and practical options available to meet the needs of every person.
A common choice is a side-by-side double pushchair which offers two fixed seats for children of similar ages. These are usually more compact than tandem or in-line double prams, making it easier to navigate through doors and along busy footpaths or in shops. You can use them 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 convert your existing pushchair into double one by the addition of a second seat. This is a great way to safeguard your investment in the near future and avoid purchasing a double buggy. Our top pick for this is the Joolz Geo3 double pram which combines both styles with an innovative frame that expands widthways to accommodate a second seat. It can be used to accommodate two carrycots, carseats and toddler seats when your child is old enough.
The Babybee LUNA is another stylish option. This stylish and safe double pram is suitable for children from birth to five. Both seats are able to reclined independently and can be lowered to a flat position. The LUNA can also be used with two car seats or a comfortable LUNA cocoon. It is compliant with Australian safety standards.
Non-convertible side by side double prams are also an ideal option, particularly for families with children who are close to their age. These prams are slightly wider than other double buggies, and are more difficult to maneuver on busy footpaths or up and down kerbs.
If you want a less bulky alternative look into the Cybex DUO2 that is available in both mono and duo mode. It comes with a large shopping basket that sits behind the seat when facing towards parents and has a reversible seat so you can choose whether your baby is facing either you or the world.
