Buying a Double Pram Pushchair
A double pram pushchair is the ideal option for parents with more than one child. They are usually convertible, allowing you to attach a bassinet, second seat, or car capsule.
This stylish and lightweight pram can be transformed into a twin using a clever frame that can be expanded in the width. It can also accommodate 2 carrycots, infant chairs or a
stroller. The canopy is UPF 50+ and features windows that can be seen from afar.
Comfort
If you're expecting a new child or your toddler is an avid walker and you've noticed that you're going on family walks or on full-day outings with them, then a double pram pushchair might be a must-have for you. It's crucial to remember that not every double pram is created equal and it's crucial to choose the right one for your lifestyle.
Double prams with side by side seats let your children interact and see each other while walking. They tend to be wider than single prams and may not be able to pass through some doors. They can also be difficult to navigate on busy streets or in shopping centers. They are also bulkier when folded.
Tandem double prams (in-line) are easier to maneuver, but aren't as narrow. They are more difficult to fold as the seat is often further away from the handle. Additionally, they could require more parts once 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 choose a convertible double pram in order to ensure their purchase is secure for the future and have the option of using it in either single or double mode depending on the needs of your family. They tend to be quite large and bulky when folded and might not fit your toddler after they've outgrown their pram seat. Make sure you do some research prior to purchasing.
Joolz offers a range of different double pram pushchairs in a tandem or in-line design that are easy to change and are great for your growing family. The Venus is a good example. It is our best-selling twin pram due to its ability to be used from birth with the addition of newborn cocoons (PS59 each) to create a lie-flat space for your infants. It can also be converted into a single by the addition of a toddler's board when your children are ready to transition to walking on their own.
Safety
In order to keep the children secure and comfortable when out, it's crucial to choose a double pram pushchair with padding for the seats and harnesses. Double prams can store more than single prams, making it easier to transport snacks, other clothing and toys for both children. If you're looking to pick a side-by-side double pram or one that is front of the other there are plenty of options to consider.
The most well-known option for the double
pram for newborn is a convertible one. They start as a single pram but can later be combined with an additional seat or bassinet/carry cot as well as infant car seats. They're ideal for those who have two children close in age and want to make their purchase future-proof.
Tandem prams on the other hand provide more flexibility in seating and a space for children to stand or sit on a toddler board whilst the parent pushes them. They're not foolproof as far as sibling squabbles are concerned though it's advisable to avoid having them in the same place in the same place when you can.
Both types of double prams are available in a wide range of colours and styles as well, so you can pick the ideal model for your family's requirements and preferences. Many families opt for a side-by-side double pram for its versatility, as it can be easily adapted to a twin travel system simply by adding a Maxi-Cosi or Cybex baby car seat to the frame.
Many of our double strollers can be purchased 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 spacious toddler seats, sun canopy, large basket, and adapters for car seats. This allows parents to save money by not needing to purchase a separate twin stroller and is ideal for families that frequently go to the road. The Double Trouble Twin Pram, for example, comes with two toddler seats that are suitable from birth and can be used with the Maxi-Cosi or Cybex Infino car seat to create a complete twin travel system.
Storage
A
double pram pushchair might appear like a daunting job, but it's worth doing your research prior to making your purchase. There are many factors to take into consideration, including the comfort of your children and you as parents as well as the fold size, weight, and wheels. It's important to also consider the quality of the fabric and how it is constructed. A stroller that is well-constructed will last longer, and can be repaired easily and will be more valuable at selling.
A double pushchair's capacity to accommodate seats or bassinets is another feature worth considering. You can ensure your purchase's future by choosing a tandem double buggy (in-line). This type of
double stroller has the children positioned on opposite sides, which makes it easier to maneuver through doors and public transportation. Double buggies with tandems are often larger than the single pushchair. It is important to verify the measurements prior to purchase.
If you're looking for a stylish double pram pushchair that is city-friendly take a look at the Joolz Geo 3 Double. This sleek model is compact size that can fit through narrow doors and onto public transport. It can accommodate twins or a toddler and baby and can be used in conjunction with UPPAbaby's PiggyBack board for older siblings. The Geo 3 is easy to navigate, has a large basket area and comes with a lifetime warranty for added security.
There are a variety of alternatives that are available if you don't need an infant stroller to adapt with your child. There are many compact, single-seat pushchairs that have a large undercarriage storage basket and tray for parents. Some models also come with an easy fold and the front wheels can be swiveled for more maneuverability. These models are ideal for day trips, short strolls or for running the errands. These models are ideal for grandparents and childcare providers who want to simply carry their strollers into their car's boot, or onto public transportation. This model comes in a variety of stylish colours, so you're sure to find one that matches your family's aesthetic.
Style
For many parents, the design of their double pram pushchair is an important factor to consider. There are numerous fashionable and practical options to satisfy the preferences of all.
A side-by-side pram that has two fixed seats is a popular option for parents of children of similar age. They tend to be narrower than tandem or in-line double pushchairs, making them easier to slide through doors and navigate busy streets and in shops. You can use them with carrycots or car seats in the event that you prefer.
Another option is a single-to double pram conversion kit which allows you to convert your existing pushchair into double one with the addition of a second seat. This is a great method to safeguard your investment in the near future and avoid the expense of buying a brand new double buggy. Our top pick for this is the Joolz Geo3 double pram which incorporates both styles in a clever frame that can be expanded 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 for it.
Other stylish options include the Babybee LUNA pram. This incredibly safe and stylish double pram is made to be suitable for infants from birth to 5 years old. Both seats independently recline to a completely flat position (which is recommended for babies until they reach around six months old). The LUNA can also be used with two car seats or a comfortable LUNA cocoon. It adheres to Australian safety standards.
Non-convertible side-byside double prams are also a good choice, especially for families with children close to age. But, it's important to keep in mind that these types of prams are generally larger than other double buggies and can be difficult to manoeuvre on crowded footpaths and up and down kerbs.
If you want a less bulky alternative, try the Cybex DUO2 that is available in both mono and duo modes. It features a large shopping basket which sits behind the seat in parent-facing mode and features a reversible seat so you can choose whether your baby is facing you or the world.
