Buying a Double Pram Pushchair
A double pram pushchair is a great option for parents who have more than one child. They're usually convertible, which means you can attach a bassinet, second seat, or car capsule.
Stylish and lightweight The sleek and stylish pram converts into a twin with an innovative frame that expands widthways. It also fits two infant seats or carrycots and comes with a massive UPF 50+ canopy, with peekaboo windows.
Comfort
If you're expecting a second child or your toddler is already an avid walker and you've been going on family walks or long day outings with them, then a double pram pushchair may be a must-have for you. It's important to keep in mind that not all double prams are the same and you should choose the best one that is suitable for your needs.
Double prams with side-by-side seats allow your children to be together and interact while walking. They tend to be wider than single prams and might not be able to fit through some doors. They can also be difficult to maneuver on busy footpaths or in shopping centers. They are also heavier when folded.
Tandem double prams (in-line) are more convenient to maneuver, but aren't as compact. They are more difficult to fold as the seat is usually further away from the handle. Additionally, they might require more parts when you are ready to use them. They are also more expensive than a double side-byside pram.
Some parents who are new to the world choose a double convertible pram bags to be able to protect their investment and be able to use it in a double or single mode, depending on the requirements of your family. However, they're usually very large and bulky when folded. They might not be suitable for your toddler when they outgrow their pram seat, so be careful to do some thorough research before purchasing.
Joolz provides a range of double pram pushchairs in tandem or in-line style that are easy to convert and offer great value for the growing family. The Venus, for example, is our top-selling twin pram due to its ability to be used from birth, with the addition of newborn cocoons (PS59 each) to create a flat area for your baby. It can also be converted to a single with the addition of a toddler board once your children are ready to transition to walking on their own.
Safety
To keep both children secure and comfortable while out, it is important to select a stroller with padded harnesses. Double prams usually offer more storage space than single prams which makes it easier to transport snacks, extra clothing toys, and other essentials for both children. If you're looking to pick a side-by-side double pram or one that is the front of each other, there are a lot of options to choose from.
The most well-known option for the double pram is a convertible model. They start out as a single stroller but can be transformed to accommodate a second seat, bassinet/carrycot or infant car seat. These are great for parents with two children of similar ages and want to secure their purchase.
Tandem prams, on the contrary, provide more flexibility in seating and allow for the child to stand or sit while the parent pushes. They're not foolproof as far as sibling squabbles are concerned though it is recommended to try and avoid putting them in the same place simultaneously as much as possible.
Double strollers are available in a variety of colours and styles and designs, so you can pick the one that best fits your family. Many people choose a side-by-side double pram due to its flexibility. It can be easily converted into a twin travel system by adding an Maxi Cosi or Cybex car seat to the frame.
A lot 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 come with everything you need to transform your new pram newborn to a twin travel system, including a pair of spacious toddler seats, a sun canopy, large shopping basket, and adapters for car seats for children. This can save parents money by not having to buy a separate twin stroller. It is also great if you are a family who travels often. The Double Trouble Twin Pram, for instance is equipped with two toddler seats that are suitable from birth and can be combined with the Maxi-Cosi or Cybex Infino car seat to create a complete twin travel pram system.
Stores
Buying a double pram pushchair can seem like a daunting undertaking but it's worthwhile to do your research before making your purchase. There are a variety of factors to take into consideration, including the comfort of your children and you as parents as well as the fold, weight, size, and the wheels. Also, you should think about the fabric and the construction. A well-made pram will last longer, be able to be easily repaired and will also have a greater price for resales.
The ability of a double pushchair to accommodate bassinets or seats is another feature worth considering. If you're looking to secure the future of your purchase, consider a tandem (in-line) double buggy. This type of double stroller has the children placed side by side, which makes it easier to get through doors and on public transport. Double buggies that are tandem can be wider than a single pushchair. It is important to verify the dimensions prior to purchasing.
The Joolz Geo 3 Double is a stylish and city-friendly double pushchair. This sleek model comes in a compact size that can fit through narrow doors and onto public transport. It can be used to accommodate twins or a toddler and a baby, and can even be used in conjunction with UPPAbaby's PiggyBack board for older siblings. The Geo 3 is easy to steer, has a spacious basket and comes with a lifetime warranty to give you peace of mind.
If you're not looking for a pushchair that will expand with your child There are plenty of alternatives to pick from. There are many compact, single-seat pushchairs that include an enormous undercarriage storage basket and parent tray. Some have a one-hand fold and the front wheels can be swiveled for more manoeuvrability. These models are great for day trips, short walks or running pushchair errands. These models are great for parents and grandparents who wish to carry their strollers into their car's trunk, or onto public transportation. The model is available in a variety of fashionable colours, so you'll find one that matches the style of your family.
Style
For many parents, the style of their double pram pushchair is an important consideration. There are many stylish and practical options available to suit every taste.
A side-by-side pram with two fixed seats is a popular choice for parents of children of the same age. These are often smaller than tandem or in-line double pushchairs, making them easier to slide through doors and navigate busy streets and in stores. They can be used with carrycots or car seats should you prefer.
Another option is a single-to-double pram conversion kit that lets you convert your existing pushchair into a double one with the addition of an additional seat. This is a great option if you want to ensure your investment is secure and avoid the expense of purchasing a new double buggy. The Joolz Geo3 is our favourite double pram for this. It combines both styles and features a clever frame which expands in width to accommodate a 2nd seat. It can be used for two carrycots, carseats, or toddler seats when your older child is older enough.
The Babybee LUNA is a stylish option. This extremely safe and stylish double pram is specifically designed to fit babies from birth to 5 years with both seats that can recline independently to a fully flat position (which is recommended for infants until they reach 6 months in age). The LUNA can be used with the cozy LUNA newborn cocoon or with 2 car seats and adheres to all Australian safety standards.
Double prams are an ideal option for families with close-aged children. These prams can be slightly larger than other double buggies and they are harder to navigate on busy footpaths, or up and down kerbs.
Try the Cybex DUO2 which is available in duo or mono mode. It comes with a large shopping basket that is placed behind the seat in parent-facing mode and has a reversible seat so that you can choose to have your baby facing you or to the world.
