Buying a Double Pram Pushchair
The most suitable choice for parents with more than one child is a double pushchair. They are usually convertible, which means you can attach a bassinet, another seat, or car capsule.
Lightweight and stylish This sleek stroller transforms into a twin using a clever frame that can be expanded widthways. It also fits two infant seats or carrycots and has a huge UPF 50+ canopy, with windows that peek out.
Comfort
If you're planning to have a second child or your toddler is a walker and you've been going on family walks or full day outings with them, a double pram pushchair could be a great investment for you. It is important to keep in mind that not all double prams are the same, and you need to choose the best one that is suitable for your needs.
Double prams with side by side seats let your children communicate and meet when they go for a walk. They are usually wider than single prams and may not fit through certain doors. They may also be difficult to maneuver on busy footpaths or in shopping malls. They are also generally 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 generally further away from the handle, and they might have more components to put together when you're ready to use them again. They can also be more expensive than a side-by-side double pram.
Some parents who are first-time parents choose a convertible double pram to ensure their purchase is secure for the future and can use it in either double or single mode based on your family's requirements. However, they are often very large and bulky when folded. They might not be suitable for your toddler as they grow out of their pram seat. Be sure to conduct a thorough research prior to purchasing.
Joolz provides a range of double prams in a tandem or in-line design that are easy to convert and have great functionality for the growing family. The Venus is a good example. It is our most popular twin pram because it can be used starting at birth with the addition of the newborn cocoons (PS59 each) to create a lay-flat space for your babies. It can also be converted to a single one with the addition a toddler board once your children are ready for independent walking.
Safety
To keep both children safe and comfortable during outings, it is important to select a pushchair that has cushioned harnesses. Double prams have more storage than single prams, making it much easier to carry snacks, additional clothing and toys for both children. Whether you want to choose a side by side double pram or one in the front of each other, there are a lot of options to think about.
The most well-known option for the double pram is a convertible model. It starts as a single pram, but then can be paired with an additional seat or bassinet/carry cot as well as infant car seats. They're perfect for families who have two children close in age and are looking to future proof their purchase.
Tandem prams, on other hand, offer more flexibility in seating and space for the child to stand or sit while the parent pushes. However, they are not 100% safe when it comes to fighting between siblings. It is best to avoid putting them in the same car.
Double strollers are available in a variety of styles and colors, so you can choose the one that is most suitable for your family. Many people choose a side-by-side double pram due to its versatility. It can be easily converted into a twin travel system by simply adding the Maxi Cosi or Cybex car seat to the frame.
Many of our double strollers can be bought in a matching twin-stroller set. This is a cheap way to purchase a double pram. The sets come with everything you require to convert your new stroller to a twin travel system, including two spacious toddler seats, a sun canopy, large shopping basket and adapters for car seats for children. This helps parents save money by not having to purchase an additional twin stroller. It's also a great option for families that travels a lot. The Double Trouble Twin Pram, for example, comes 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 create a twin travel system.
Stores
It can be a daunting task to purchase a double pram and pushchair pushchair. However, it's worth doing some research before making your purchase. There are many aspects to consider, including the comfort of your children as well as you as parents, the fold size, weight and wheels. It's important to also consider the quality of the fabric and its fabrication. A properly-constructed pram will last longer, be able to be easily repaired and will also have a greater resale value.
The capacity of a double pushchair to accommodate bassinets or seats is another thing to consider. You can future-proof your purchase by choosing a tandem double buggy (in-line). This type of double babiie stroller allows the children to be placed side-by-side, making it easier to maneuver through doors and on public transport. Double buggies that are tandem are typically larger in general than a single pram pushchair, but it is important to confirm the measurements prior to buying.

Some models come with a single hand fold and swivel wheel on the front for greater maneuverability. These models are perfect for day excursions, short walks, or for running around. They're ideal for grandparents or childcare providers who need to swiftly and easily load the pushchair into their car's boot or on public transport.

Style
The style of their double pushchair is a major consideration for many parents. There are a lot of stylish and practical options out available to meet the needs of any.
A side-by-side pram that has two fixed seats is a popular choice for parents of children of the same age. They tend to be more compact stroller than tandem or in-line double prams which makes it easier to maneuver through doors and along 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 a second seat. This is an ideal option if want to future-proof your investment and save the cost of purchasing an entirely new double buggy. Our preferred choice for this is the Joolz Geo3 double pram which incorporates both styles in a clever frame that expands widthways to accommodate an additional seat. It can be used with two carrycots or carseats and also has a place underneath to fit a toddler's seat when your child is older and ready to take it.
The Babybee LUNA is another stylish option. This stylish and safe double pram is suitable for babies from birth to five. Both seats can be reclined independently in an upright position. The LUNA can be used with a cozy LUNA newborn cocoon or 2 car seats and adheres to all Australian safety standards.
Non-convertible side-byside double prams can be an excellent option, particularly for families with children close to their age. However, it's worth bearing in mind that these types of prams are generally larger than other double buggies and aren't easy to maneuver on busy footpaths as well as up and down kerbs.
If you want a less bulky alternative, try the Cybex DUO2 that is available in both mono and duo mode. It features a large shopping basket that is placed behind the seat when facing towards parents and comes with a reversible seating so you can choose whether your baby is facing you or the world.
