Buying a Double Pram Pushchair
A
double pram pushchair is the ideal option for parents who have more than one child. They are usually convertible, which means you can attach a bassinet, second seat or car capsule.
This stylish and lightweight pram can be converted into a twin using a clever frame which expands in width. It can also accommodate 2 carrycots, infant seats or a stroller. The canopy is UPF 50+ and has windows that can be seen from afar.
Comfort
A double pram pushchair is an excellent investment if you are expecting a new baby or the toddler is already an avid walker. You might find yourself taking your child for long family walks or even day excursions. However, it's important to keep in mind that not every double pram is the same and it's important to pick the best one for your needs.
Side by side double prams have two seats adjacent to each other so that your children can view each other and engage with one another walking. They tend to be wider than single prams and might not be able to fit through certain doors. They can also be difficult to navigate on busy footpaths or in shopping malls. They also weigh more when folded.
Tandem (in-line) double prams are slightly easier to maneuver, but aren't as narrow as single prams. They are more difficult to fold since 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're also more expensive than a double side by side pram.
Some parents who are first-time parents choose an convertible double pram to future-proof their purchase and have the option of using it in single or double mode depending on your family's needs. They are usually quite large and bulky when folded, and might not fit your toddler after they've outgrown their pram seat. Research before buying.
Joolz provides a range of double prams in tandem or in-line style that are easy to change and are great for the growing family. The Venus is our most well-loved twin pram because it can be used right from birth, with the addition of newborn cocoons. (PS59 per cocoon) This provides a flat space for your baby. It can also be converted into a single-pram by adding a toddler board once your children are ready for independent walking.
Safety
To ensure that both children are safe and comfortable during outings It is essential to select a pushchair that has padded harnesses. Double prams are more spacious than single prams, making it easier to transport snacks, other clothing and toys for both children. Whether you want to choose a side by side double pram or one in front of the other, there are a lot of options to choose from.
The most popular option for the double pram is a convertible model. These start off as a single pram, but can later be combined with an additional seat or bassinet/carry cot, as well as infant car seats. These are great for parents with two children of similar ages and want to future-proof their purchase.
Tandem prams are a different matter. They offer more seating flexibility and a space for the child to sit or stand on a toddler board whilst the parent pushes them. However, they are not 100% safe when it comes to fights between siblings. It is best to avoid placing them in the same car.
Both types of double prams are available in a vast range of colours and styles as well, so you can pick the ideal one to suit your family's needs and preferences. Many families choose a side-byside double pram because of its flexibility. It can be easily converted into a twin travel system by simply adding an Maxi Cosi or Cybex car seat to the frame.
If you are looking for a less expensive option some of our double prams are available with a twin stroller set. The sets come with everything you require to convert your new pram into a twin-sized travel system. This includes two large toddler seats as well as a sun canopy, large shopping basket and adapters for child car seats. This lets parents save money by not having to buy an additional
twin pushchair stroller. It is ideal for families who often take on the road. The Double Trouble Twin Pram, for example is equipped with a pair of toddler seats that are suitable for babies and can be used with the Maxi-Cosi or Cybex Infino car seat to form an entire twin travel system.
Stores
The purchase of a double pram pushchair may appear like a daunting job but it's worthwhile to do your research before making your purchase. There are a variety of factors to consider such as the comfort of your children and you as parents as well as the fold, weight, size and the wheels. Also, you should take into consideration the fabric and the structure. A well-constructed stroller will last longer, is able to be repaired easily and will be more valuable at selling.
The ability of a double pushchair to accommodate bassinets or seats is a further benefit worth considering. You can future-proof your purchase by opting for a tandem buggy (in-line). This type of double stroller has the children placed in a row which makes it much easier to navigate doorways and public transportation. Tandem double buggies are often larger overall than a single pram pushchair, however, so it is important to confirm the measurements prior to buying.
The Joolz Geo 3 Double is an elegant and urban-friendly double pushchair. This sleek model comes in a small size that allows it to fit through narrow doors and on public transport. It can be used for twins or a baby and toddler or even older siblings when using the UPPAbaby PiggyBack board. The Geo 3 is easy-to-steer, features a large basket and is backed by a lifetime warranty to give you peace of mind.
If you're not in the market for a pushchair that will expand with your child there are many alternatives to pick from. There are many single-seat strollers that are compact and have a large storage basket under the chassis and an adult tray. Some models also come with an easy fold and the front wheels can be swiveled for more manoeuvrability. These models are ideal for short walks, day trips or running the errands. They're perfect for grandparents or childcare providers who need to swiftly and easily put the pushchair in their car boot or on public transport. The model is available in a variety of fashionable colors, so you can find one that fits the style of your family.
Style
For many parents, the design of their double pram pushchair is an important factor to consider. There are many attractive and practical options to meet the needs of every person.
A common choice is a side-byside double pram with two fixed seats for children of similar ages. They are typically narrower than tandem or in-line double pushchairs, making them easier to fit through doors and navigate on busy footpaths and in shops. They can be used with carrycots or car seats if you prefer.
Another option is a single-to-double pram conversion kit that allows you to turn your existing pushchair into double one with the addition of an additional seat. This is a great method to protect your investment in the near future and avoid the expense of buying a brand double buggy. Our preferred choice for this is the Joolz Geo3 double pram which blends both styles and features a clever frame that expands in width to accommodate an additional seat. It can be used with two carseats or carrycots and includes a space for a toddler seat when your older child is ready to take it.
Other stylish options include the Babybee LUNA pram. This stylish and safe double pram is specifically designed to fit infants aged between birth and 5 years old. Both seats that can recline independently to a fully flat position (which is recommended for babies until they are around six months old).
