Buying a Double Pram Pushchair
A double
pram pushchair is a great option for parents who have more than one child. They usually convert and allow you to connect a second seat as well as a bassinet or car capsule.
Stylish and lightweight, this sleek pram converts into a twin with an innovative frame that expands the width. It can also accommodate 2 carrycots, infant seats or a stroller. The canopy is UPF 50+ and comes with windows that can be seen from afar.
Comfort
A double pram pushchair can be a good investment if you're expecting a new baby or the toddler has already become a walking warrior. You might end up taking the pushchair for 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 essential to select the best one for your lifestyle.
Double prams with side-by-side seats allow your children to communicate and meet while walking. However, they tend to be larger than single prams, and therefore may not fit through some doorways or be tricky to manoeuvre on busy footpaths or in shopping centers. They also weigh more when folded.
Tandem double prams (in-line) are more convenient to maneuver, but aren't as wide. They are more difficult to fold because the seat is often farther away from the handle. Additionally, they could require more parts when you are ready to use them. They're also more expensive than a double side-byside pram.
Some parents who are first-time parents opt for a double convertible pram to be able to ensure their purchase and use it in single or double mode, based on the requirements of your family. However, they are often very large and heavy when folded. They may not be suitable for your child as they grow out of their pram seat so be sure to conduct a thorough research prior to purchasing.
Joolz offers a range of different double pram pushchairs in tandem or in-line style that are simple to convert and offer great value for the growing family. The Venus is our most popular twin pram, as it can be used right from birth, with the addition of newborn cocoons. (PS59 per cocoon) This creates a level space for your baby. It can also be converted into a single with the addition of a toddler's board once your children are ready to transition to walking independently.
Safety
In order to keep the children secure and comfortable on outings, it's essential to choose a double pram pushchair that has cushioned harnesses and seats. Double prams can store more than single prams, which makes it easier to transport snacks, extra clothing and toys for both children. Whether you want to choose 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 for a double pram is a convertible one. These start off as a single pram, but then can be used with a second seat or bassinet/carry cot, as well as infant car seats. These are ideal for parents with two children of the same age and wish to ensure their purchase.
Tandem prams, on other hand, offer more flexibility in seating and allow for the child to sit or stand while the parent pushes. However, they are not foolproof when it comes to sibling fights. It is best to avoid placing them in the same place.
Double prams of both types are available in a wide range of colours and styles to ensure that you find the perfect one for your family's needs and preferences. Many families opt for a side-by-side double pram due to its flexibility. It can easily be converted into a twin
travel pram system by adding the Maxi Cosi or Cybex car seat to the frame.
For a more cost-effective option some of our double prams can be purchased with a twin stroller set. These sets come with everything you need to convert your new pram to a twin travel system including a pair of spacious toddler seats, a sun canopy, big shopping basket, and adapters for child car seats. This allows parents to save money by not having to buy an additional twin stroller. It is also great for families that frequently go on the road. The Double Trouble Twin Pram comes with a set of toddler chairs suitable from birth. They can be used with the Maxi-Cosi Infino and Cybex Infino Car Seat to create a complete twin travel system.
Storage
The purchase of a double pram pushchair may appear like a daunting job but it's worthwhile to do your research prior to making your purchase. There are many aspects to consider, including the comfort of your children and parents fold, weight, size and wheels. It is also important to look at the quality of the fabric and how it is constructed. A well-constructed stroller will last longer, is able to be repaired easily and have more value when selling.
Another aspect to consider is the number of seats or pram bassinets that the double pushchair will accommodate. You can make sure that your purchase is future-proof by selecting a tandem double buggy (in-line). This type of double stroller allows children to be positioned side-by-side making it easier for them to maneuver through doors and on public transportation. Double buggies that are tandem may be larger than a single pushchair. It is important to verify the dimensions prior to buying.
If you're looking for a chic, city-friendly double pram pushchair look no further than the Joolz Geo 3 Double. This sleek model is compact size that can fit through narrow doors and onto public transport. It is suitable for twins or a baby and toddler, or even older siblings using the UPPAbaby PiggyBack board.

There are many compact, single-seat pushchairs that have a large undercarriage storage bin and tray for parents. Some models also come with an easy fold and swivel front wheels for extra manoeuvrability. These models are ideal for day trips, short walks or for running through the streets. They're perfect for parents or grandparents who need to swiftly and easily put the pushchair in their car's boot or on public transport. The model is available in a variety of stylish colors, so you can find one that matches the style of your family.
Style
The design of their double pushchair pram is a major consideration for many parents. There are many attractive and practical options to suit every taste.
A side-byside pram with two fixed seats is a favorite for parents of children of the same age. These are often smaller than tandem or in-line double pushchairs, making them easier to fit through doors and navigate on busy streets and 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 that lets you convert your existing pushchair into a double one with just the addition of a second seat. This is a great way to safeguard your investment for the future and avoid purchasing a 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 widthways to accommodate a second seat. It can be used to accommodate two carrycots, carseats, or toddler seats once your older child is older enough.
Other options that are stylish include the Babybee LUNA pram. This stylish and secure double pram is suitable for babies from birth until age five. Both seats are able to reclined independently in 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 close to their age.
