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.
It is stylish and light, this sleek pram can be converted into a twin by using an innovative frame that expands in width. It also fits two infant seats or carrycots and features a hugely generous UPF 50+ canopy that has windows that peek out.
Comfort
A double pram pushchair (
Socialaffluent officially announced) can be a good investment if you are expecting a second baby or if your toddler is already a walker. You might end up taking your child on long family walks or on day trips. But, it's important to keep in mind that not all double pram is alike and it's important to pick the right one for your lifestyle.
Double prams that have side by side seats allow your children to communicate and meet while walking. However, they tend to be larger than single prams, and therefore may not fit through some doorways or be tricky to manoeuvre on busy streets and in shopping centres. They are also generally bulkier when folded.
Tandem (in-line) double prams are a bit easier to manoeuvre but not as narrow as single prams. They are more difficult to fold because the seat is usually farther away from the handle and they may have more parts to assemble when you're ready to use them again. They're also more expensive than a double side-byside pram.
Some first-time parents opt for a convertible double pram in order to future-proof their purchase and have the option of using it in either double or single mode based on the needs of your family. However, they're usually quite large and bulky when folded. They may not be suitable for your child once they grow out of their pram seat, so be careful to do some thorough research before purchasing.
Joolz provides a range of different double pram
pushchairs with a tandem or in-line layout that are easy to convert and offer great value for the growing family. The Venus is our most popular twin pram because it can be used right from birth, and with the addition of newborn cocoons. (PS59 per cocoon) This creates an open space for your baby. It can be transformed into a single pram by adding a toddler board when your children are ready for independent walking.
Safety
To keep both children comfortable and safe when out, it's crucial to select a double pushchair with cushioned harnesses and seats. Double prams have more storage than single prams, making it easier to transport snacks, other clothes and toys for both children. There are many options available, whether you choose a double pram side by side or one in front.
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 a second seat or carry cot/basintinet as well as infant car seats. These are ideal for parents who have two children of the same age and want to secure their purchase.
Tandem prams on the other hand offer more seating flexibility and a space for the child to sit or stand on a toddler's board while the parent pushes them. However, they are not infallible when it comes down to fights between siblings. It is recommended to avoid placing them in the same place.
Both types of double prams are available in a broad selection of colors and styles too so you can find the perfect one for your family's requirements and preferences. A lot of people 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.
A lot of our double strollers are available in a set of twin strollers. This is a cheap option to buy a double pram. These sets come with everything you need to transform your new prams into twin travel systems, including two large toddler seats, sun canopy, large basket, and adapters to car seats. This allows parents to save money by not having to purchase an additional twin stroller. It is ideal for families who frequently take to the road. The Double Trouble Twin Pram, for instance, comes with a pair of toddler seats that are suitable from birth and can be combined with the Maxi-Cosi or Cybex Infino car seat to create a twin travel system.
Storage
It can be a daunting task to buy a double pushchair, however it's worth researching before you make your purchase. There are many aspects to consider, including the comfort of your children and you as parents, the fold, weight, size and the wheels. It is important to consider the quality of the fabric and its fabrication. A stroller that is well-constructed will last longer, can be repaired easily and have a higher value at selling.
Another feature to consider is the number of seats or pram bassinets that the double pushchair will accommodate. If you're hoping to future-proof your purchase, consider a tandem (in-line) double buggy. This type of double
stroller travel allows children to be placed side-by-side making it easier for them to maneuver through doors and on public transportation. Double buggies that are tandem can be wider than one pushchair. It's important to check the measurements prior to purchase.
The Joolz Geo 3 Double is an elegant and urban-friendly double pushchair. This compact model is suitable for use in public transport as well as through narrow doors. It is suitable for twins or a baby toddler or even older siblings with the UPPAbaby PiggyBack board. The Geo 3 is easy-to-steer, comes with a large basket and comes backed by a lifetime warranty to give you peace ofmind.
If you're not in the market for a pushchair that will grow with your child, there are many alternatives to pick from. There are a variety of
compact travel stroller, single-seat strollers with a large storage basket under the chassis as well as an adult tray. Some models have a one hand fold and swivel wheel on the front to allow for greater mobility. These models are ideal for day excursions, short walks or for running through the streets. These models are perfect for parents and grandparents who want to simply carry their strollers into their car boot or onto public transport. The model is available in a variety of stylish colours, so you're sure to find one that matches your family's aesthetic.
Style
The style of their double pushchair pram is important to many parents. There are many stylish and practical options available to satisfy the preferences of all.
A side-byside pram with two fixed seats is a popular option for parents of children of the same age. These are often smaller than tandem or in-line double pushchairs, making them easier to slide through doors and navigate busy footpaths and in shops. They can be used in conjunction with car seats or carrycots in the event that they are needed, based on your preference.
Another option is a single-to double pram conversion kit that lets you convert your existing pushchair into a double one with the addition of the second seat. This is a great method to safeguard your investment in the near future and avoid the expense of buying a brand double buggy. The Joolz Geo3 is our favourite double pram for this. It is a blend of two styles and features an elegant frame that can be expanded in the width to accommodate a second seat. It can be used to accommodate two carrycots, carseats and toddler seats when your child is old enough.
The Babybee LUNA is another stylish option. This stylish and secure double pram is suitable for infants from birth until age five. Both seats can reclined independently and can be lowered to an upright position. The LUNA can also be used with two car seats or a cozy LUNA cocoon. It complies with Australian safety standards.
Non-convertible side by side double prams can be an excellent option, particularly for families with children who are close to age. These prams may be slightly wider than other double buggies and they are harder to navigate on busy footpaths, or up and down kerbs.
If you want a less bulky alternative, try the Cybex DUO2, which is available in both mono and duo mode. It comes with a large basket that can be placed behind the seat when in the parent-facing position. The seat is reversible so you can put your child facing either you or the rest of the world.
