Buying a Double Pram Pushchair

The ideal option 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.

This stylish and lightweight pram can be converted to a twin with a clever frame which increases in width. It can also accommodate two carrycots, infant seats or a stroller. The canopy is UPF 50+ and comes with windows that can be seen from afar.

Comfort

A double pram pushchair is a great investment if you're expecting a second baby or when your toddler has already become a walking warrior. You might end up taking them for long family walks or on day excursions. It's important to keep in mind that not all double prams are alike and you should select the right one to suit your lifestyle.

Double prams that are side by side provide two seats next to each other, so that your children can see each other and interact whilst on a walk. However, they tend to be wider than single prams and, therefore, may not fit through some doorways or be difficult to maneuver on busy footpaths or in shopping centers. They are also heavier when folded.

Tandem double prams (in-line) are more convenient to maneuver, however they aren't as narrow. They are more difficult to fold since the seat is often further away from the handle. Additionally, they might require more parts when you are ready to use them. They also cost more than a double side by side pram.

Some first-time parents opt for a convertible double pram to future-proof their purchase and can use it in either single or double mode depending on your family's needs. They are usually quite large and bulky when folded, and may not suit your toddler after they have outgrown their pram seat. Research before buying.

Safety

To keep children safe and comfortable during outings it's important to select a double pram pushchair that has cushioned seats and harnesses.

There are numerous options available depending on whether you opt for a double pram side-by-side or that is the front.

The most well-known option is a convertible double pram. They start as a single pram, but can later be combined with an additional seat or carry cot/basintinet as well as infant car seats. They're perfect for families who have two children that are close to their age and want to make their purchase future-proof.

Tandem prams on the other hand, provide more flexibility in seating and space for the child to stand or sit while the parent pushes. However, they aren't foolproof when it comes to sibling fights. It is best travel stroller to avoid placing them in the same car.

Both types of double prams are available in a broad range of colours and styles to ensure that you find the ideal one to suit your family's requirements and preferences.

Stores

Buying a double pram pushchair might seem like a daunting task but it's worthwhile to do your research before making your purchase.

Another thing to think about is the number of bassinets, or prams, that the double pushchair can accommodate. If you're looking to secure the future of your purchase, opt for a tandem (in-line) double buggy. This type of double stroller permits 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 the single pushchair. It is important to verify the dimensions prior to purchasing.

Style

For many parents, the style of their double pram pushchair is an important aspect to think about. There are plenty of stylish and practical options out there to suit any taste.

A side-byside pram with two fixed seats is a favorite for parents of children of the same age. They tend to be shorter than tandem or in-line double pushchairs, making them easier to fit through doors and navigate crowded footpaths and in shops. You can use them with car seats or carrycots should you prefer.

Another alternative is a single-to-double conversion kit that allows you to convert your existing pushchair into double one by the addition of the second seat. This is ideal if you are looking to secure your investment for the future and avoid the cost of purchasing an entirely new 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 a second seat. It can be used for two carrycots, carseats or toddler seats once your older child is older enough.

The Babybee LUNA is a stylish option. This stylish and secure double pram is suitable for babies from birth until age five. Both seats can be reclined independently in an upright position.
