Buying a Double Pram Pushchair

A double pram pushchair is the best option for parents with more than one child. They're usually convertible, which means you can connect a bassinet, a second seat, or even a car capsule.

It is stylish and light, this sleek pram converts into a twin with a clever frame that can be expanded in width. It can also accommodate two infant seats or carrycots and has a huge UPF 50+ canopy with windows that peek out.

Comfort

A double pram pushchair is an excellent investment if you are expecting a second baby or if your toddler has already become an avid walker. You might end up taking them on long family walks or day trips. But, it's important to remember that not every double pram is alike and it's essential to select the best one for your needs.

Double prams that are side by side offer 2 seats next to each other, so that your children can see each other and engage with one another on a walk. However, they are typically larger than single prams, and, therefore, may not pass through some doors or be difficult to maneuver on crowded footpaths and in shopping centres. They are also bulkier when folded.

Tandem double prams (in-line) are easier to maneuver, but not as wide. They are more difficult to fold as the seat is usually further away from the handle, and they might have more components to put together when you're ready to use them again. They're also more expensive than a double side-by-side 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 a double or single mode, depending on the requirements of your family. However, they are often quite large and bulky when folded. They might not be suitable for your toddler once they grow out of their pram seat. Be careful to do some thorough research prior to purchasing.

Joolz provides a range of different double pram pushchairs in a tandem or in-line design that are easy to convert and are great for your growing family. The Venus, for example, is our best-selling twin pram as it can be used from birth, with the addition of the newborn cocoons (PS59 each) to create a lie-flat space for your babies. It can be transformed to a single one with the addition of a toddler board, when your children are old enough to be independent walking.

Safety

To ensure that the children secure and comfortable on outings, it's essential to select a double pushchair that has cushioned seats and harnesses. Double prams also often have 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 in front of the other, there are a lot of options to consider.

The most sought-after option is a convertible double pram. It starts as a single pram and then can be paired with the second seat, a carry cot/basintinet as well as infant car seats. They're perfect for families with two children who are close in age and want to make their purchase future-proof.

Tandem prams on the other hand, provide more flexibility in seating and space for the child to stand or sit while the parent facing pushchair pushes. But, they're not foolproof when it comes to sibling fights. It is best to avoid putting them in the same seat.

Both types of double strolls are available in a variety of styles and colors to help you pick the one that is most suitable for your family.

Stores

It can be a difficult task to purchase a double pushchair, but it's worth doing some research before making your purchase.

A well-made pram will last longer, be able to be easily repaired and have a higher resale value.

A double pushchair's capacity to accommodate bassinets or seats is a further benefit worth considering. You can ensure your purchase's future by opting for a tandem buggy (in-line). This type of double stroller features the children positioned on opposite sides making it easier to navigate doorways and on public transportation.

They tend to be more compact than tandem or in-line double prams which makes it easier to maneuver through doors, on busy footpaths and in shops. They can be used in conjunction with carrycots or car seats when needed, based on your preference.
