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 attach a second seat as well as a bassinet or car capsule.
This sleek and light pram can be converted to a twin with a clever frame which increases in width. It can also fit 2 carrycots, infant chairs or a stroller. The canopy is UPF 50+ and comes with windows that can be seen from afar.
Comfort
If you're expecting a new child or your toddler is a walking warrior and you've noticed that you're going on family walks or long day outings with them, a double pram pushchair could be a must-have for you. It is important to keep in mind that not all double prams are alike, and you need to choose the best one to suit your lifestyle.
Double prams that have side by side seats allow your children to interact and see each other while walking. However, they are generally wider than single prams and thus may not be able to fit through certain doors or be tricky to manoeuvre on crowded footpaths and in shopping centers. They are also heavier when folded.
Tandem double prams (in-line) are easier to maneuver, but aren't as narrow. They are more difficult to fold because the seat is usually farther away from the handle. Also, they may require more parts when you are ready to use them. They can also be more expensive than a side-by-side double pram.
Some first-time parents opt for a convertible double pram to ensure their purchase is secure for the future and can use it in either single or double mode depending on your family's needs. They tend to be quite large and bulky when folded, and might not be suitable for your toddler once they have outgrown their pram seat. Make sure you do some research prior to buying.
Joolz offers different double prams that can be used tandem or in a line. They are easy to convert and provide great features for families growing. The Venus, for example, is our most popular twin pram due to its ability to be used from birth, with the addition of the newborn cocoons (PS59 each) to create a lay-flat space for your infants. It can be converted to a single one with the addition 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 crucial to select a pushchair that has padding for the harnesses. Double prams usually offer more storage space than single prams, which makes it easier to transport snacks, extra clothing as well as toys and other items 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 plenty of options to consider.
The most well-known option for double prams is a convertible model. These start off as a single pram but can later be combined with the second seat, a bassinet/carry cot as well as infant car seats. They're perfect for families with two children who are close in age and want to future proof 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 aren't foolproof when it comes to fighting between siblings. It is best to avoid putting them in the same place.
The two types of double strollers come in a variety styles and colors to help you pick the one that best fits your family. Many people choose a side-by-side double pram for its versatility as it can be easily adapted to a twin travel system simply by adding Maxi-Cosi or Cybex baby car seat to the frame.
A lot of our double strollers can be bought in a set of twin strollers. This is a cheap option to buy a double pram. These sets include everything you require to convert your new stroller to a twin travel system, including two spacious toddler seats and a sun canopy as well as a large shopping basket, and adapters for car seats for children. This can save parents money by not needing to purchase an additional twin stroller. It is also great if you are a family who travels often. The Double Trouble Twin Pram, for instance, comes with a pair of toddler seats that are suitable for babies and can be combined with the Maxi-Cosi or Cybex Infino car seat to create a complete twin travel system.

They can also be used with car seats or carrycots if needed, depending on your preference.
