Buying a Double Pram Pushchair
A double pram pushchair is a great option for parents who have more than one child. They are typically convertible and allow you to attach a second seat as well as a bassinet or car capsule.
This stylish and lightweight pram can be converted into a twin using a clever frame which can be expanded in size. It can also accommodate two carrycots, infant seats or a stroller. The canopy is UPF 50+ and features windows that can be seen from afar.
Comfort
If you're expecting a second child or your toddler is already a walker and you've noticed that you're taking family walks or long day outings with them, then a double pram pushchair might be a great investment for you. It's important to keep it in mind that not all double prams are alike and you must choose the best one to suit your lifestyle.
Double prams with side-by-side seats let your children be together and interact when they go for a walk. They tend to be wider than single prams and might not be able to fit through certain doorways. They may also be difficult to navigate on busy streets or in shopping centers. They are also generally bulkier when folded.
Tandem (in-line) double prams are a little easier to maneuver, but aren't as narrow as single prams. They are more difficult to fold as the seat is typically farther away from the handle. Additionally, they could require more parts when you are ready to use them. They can also be more expensive than a side-by-side double pram.
Some parents who are first-time parents opt for a
double pram and pushchair convertible pram as a way to ensure their investment and be able to use it in single or double mode, depending on the needs of your family. They tend to be quite large and bulky when folded, and may not suit your toddler after they've outgrown their pram seat. Make sure you do some research prior to buying.
Joolz offers a variety of double pram
pushchairs with a tandem or in-line layout that are easy to convert and offer great value for your growing family. The Venus is our most loved twin pram, as it can be used right from birth, with the additions of newborn cocoons. (PS59 per cocoon) This provides a flat space for your baby. It can also be converted into a single with the addition of a toddler board when your children are ready to transition to walking on their own.
Safety
To ensure that both children comfortable and safe during outings it's important to select a double pushchair that has cushioned harnesses and seats. Double prams can store more than single prams, making it easier to transport snacks, other clothing and toys for both children. There are a variety of options to choose from depending on whether you opt for a double pram side by side or in front.
The most well-known option for a double pram is a convertible one. They begin as a single
foldable stroller, but can be converted to accommodate an additional seat, bassinet/carrycot or an infant car seat. They are perfect for parents who have two children of similar ages and wish to ensure their purchase.
Tandem prams, on contrary, provide more flexibility in seating and space for the child to stand or sit while the parent pushes. They aren't foolproof as far as sibling squabbles are concerned though it's advisable to avoid having them in the same place at the same time as much as possible.
Both types of double strolls come in a variety of styles and colors and designs, so you can pick the one that best fits your family. Many people choose a side-by-side double pram due to its flexibility. It can be easily converted into a twin travel system by adding an Maxi Cosi or Cybex car seat to the frame.
Many of our double strollers are available in a matching twin-stroller set. This is a cheap method of purchasing a double pram. These sets come with everything you need to turn your new prams into twin travel systems, which include two large toddler seats and sun canopy, a large basket and adapters for car seats. This can save parents money by not having to buy a separate twin stroller. It's also a great option if you are a family that travels a lot. The Double Trouble Twin Pram, for instance is equipped with a pair of toddler seats that are suitable for babies and can be used in conjunction with the Maxi-Cosi or Cybex Infino car seat to create a twin travel system.
Stores
A double pram pushchair can seem like a daunting undertaking, but it's worth doing the research prior to making a purchase. There are a variety of factors to take into consideration, including the comfort of your children and you as parents as well as the fold, weight, size, and the wheels. It's important to consider the quality of the fabric and its fabrication. A well-constructed stroller will last longer, is able to be repaired quickly and have a higher value at selling.
The ability of a double pushchair to accommodate seats or bassinets is a further benefit worth considering. You can ensure your purchase's future by selecting a tandem double buggy (in-line). This type of double stroller allows the children to be placed side-byside, making it easier to navigate through doorways and on public transport. Double buggies with tandems may be larger than one pushchair. It is important to verify the measurements prior to purchase.
If you're looking for a stylish city-friendly
double pram pushchair take a look at the Joolz Geo
3 in one pushchair Double. This compact model can be used on public transport and through narrow doors. It can be used to accommodate twins or a baby and toddler, and can even be used in conjunction with UPPAbaby's PiggyBack board for older siblings. The Geo 3 is easy to steer, has a large basket area and comes with a lifetime guarantee to ensure your peace of mind.
There are a variety of alternatives that you can choose from if you don't want the pram to grow with your child. There are plenty of compact, single-seat pushchairs that come with a large undercarriage storage bin and parent tray. Some models feature a one hand fold and swivel wheels on the front to allow for greater maneuverability. These models are perfect for day excursions, short walks or
running pram through the streets. They're great for parents or grandparents who need to be able to quickly and easily put the pushchair in their car boot or onto public transport. The model is available in a variety of fashionable colors, so you're sure to find one that matches your family's aesthetic.
Style
The style of their double pushchair is a major consideration for many parents. Luckily, there are plenty of stylish and practical options available to meet the needs of any.
A side-byside pram with two fixed seats is a popular option for parents of children of the same age. They tend to be smaller than tandem and in-line double prams which makes it easier to navigate through doors and on busy footpaths or in shops. They can also be used with carrycots or car seats if needed, depending on your preference.
Another option is a single-to-double pram conversion kit which lets you convert your current pushchair into a double one with just the addition of the second seat. This is a great way to protect your investment for the future and avoid the expense of buying a brand double buggy. Our top pick for this is the Joolz Geo3 double pram which incorporates both styles in a clever frame that expands in width to accommodate the second seat. It can be used with two carrycots or carseats and also has a place underneath to fit a toddler's seat when your older child is ready for it.
The Babybee LUNA is yet another fashionable alternative. This stylish and safe double pram is designed to suit babies from birth to 5 years old. Both seats independently recline to a completely flat position (which is recommended for newborns until they are around six months old). The LUNA can be used in conjunction with a cozy LUNA newborn cocoon or two car seats and is able to conform to all Australian safety standards.
Double prams are a good choice for families with close-aged children. These prams may be a bit wider than other double buggies and are more difficult to navigate on busy footpaths or down and up kerbs.
For a less bulky option you can try the Cybex DUO2 it is available in mono and duo mode. It features a large shopping basket that is placed behind the seat in parent-facing mode and features a reversible seat so you can choose whether to have your baby facing you or to the world.
