Buying a Double Pram Pushchair

A double childs pram pushchair is the best option for parents with more than one child. They are typically convertible and allow you to attach another seat, bassinet or car capsule.

Stylish and lightweight, this sleek pram can be converted into a twin by using an innovative frame that expands the width. It also accommodates 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're expecting a second baby or the toddler has already become a walking warrior. You might end up taking them on long family walks or on day trips. It's important to keep in mind that not all double prams are created equal and you must select the right one to suit your lifestyle.

Side by side double prams offer 2 seats next to each other so that your children can view each other and engage with one another on a walk. However, they are generally wider than single prams and thus may not be able to pass through some doors or be difficult to maneuver on busy footpaths or in shopping centres. They also weigh more when folded.

Tandem double prams (in-line) are easier to maneuver, but not as wide. They can be more difficult to fold because the seat is typically 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-byside pram sets.

Some parents who are first-time parents opt for a double convertible pram as a way to secure their investment and be able to use it in double or single mode, based on the needs of your family. However, they're usually quite large and bulky when folded.

To keep both children secure and comfortable while out it is crucial to select a pushchair that has padded harnesses. Double prams usually have more storage space than single prams, which makes it easier to carry snacks, extra clothes as well as toys and other items for both children. There are many options available depending on whether you opt for a double pram side by side or in front.

The most popular option for the double pram is a convertible model. They start as a single pram but can later be combined 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 want to future-proof their purchase.

Tandem prams on the other hand provide more flexibility in seating and also a place for children to stand or sit on a toddler board whilst the parent pushes them. But, they're not infallible when it comes down to fights between siblings. It is best to avoid putting them in the same car.

Double strollers come in a variety colours and styles, so you can choose the one that best fits your family. Many families opt for a side by side double pram for its versatility since it can easily be adapted into a twin travel system simply by adding Maxi-Cosi or Cybex baby car seat to the frame.

The capacity of a double pushchair to accommodate seats or bassinets is another thing to consider. If you're planning to make your purchase, choose a tandem (in-line) double buggy. This type of double stroller allows the children to be placed side-by-side, making it easier to maneuver through doors and on public transportation. Double buggies that are tandem are typically bigger overall than a single pram pushchair, but it's essential to check the measurements prior to purchasing.

For many parents, the style of their double pram pushchair is a big consideration. Luckily, there are plenty of stylish and practical options out there that will suit the preferences of anyone.

A side-by-side pram that has two fixed seats is a popular choice for parents of children of similar age. They tend to be shorter than tandem or in-line double pushchairs making them easier to fit through doors and navigate busy footpaths and in shops. You can use them with carrycots or car seats should you prefer.

A single-to-double conversion kit allows you to convert your current pushchair by adding another seat. This is a great option if you are looking to secure your investment for the future and avoid the expense of purchasing a brand new double buggy. Our favourite option for this is the Joolz Geo3 double pram which combines both styles with a clever frame that expands in width to accommodate the second seat. It can be used with two carrycots or carseats and has a space underneath to fit a toddler's seat when your child is older and ready for it.

Other options that are stylish include the Babybee LUNA pram. This stylish and secure 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 be used with the cozy LUNA newborn cocoon or with two car seats and is able to conform to all Australian safety standards.

Double prams are a good option for families with close-aged children. These prams can be slightly larger than other double buggies, and are more difficult to navigate on busy footpaths or down and up kerbs.
