Buying a Double Pram Pushchair

A double pram pushchair is the ideal option for parents with more than one child. They're usually convertible, which means you can attach a bassinet, another seat, or car capsule.

Lightweight and stylish, this sleek pram converts into a twin with a clever frame that expands in width. It can also accommodate two infant seats or carrycots and features a hugely generous UPF 50+ canopy that has windows that peek out.

Comfort

If you're planning to have a second child or your toddler is already an avid walker and you've been taking family walks or full day outings with them, then a double pram pushchair could be a great investment for you. It's important to keep in mind that not all double prams are alike and you must pick the right one that is suitable for your needs.

Side by side double prams provide two seats next to each other, so that your children can view each other and interact whilst on a walk. They are generally larger 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 malls. They also weigh more when folded.

Tandem double prams (in-line) are easier to maneuver, but not as compact. They are more difficult to fold as the seat is typically further away from the handle, and they may contain more components to put together when you're ready to use them again. They also cost more than a double side-byside pram.

Some parents who are new to the world choose a double convertible pram to be able to ensure their purchase and use it in double or single mode, based on the needs of your family. They are usually quite large and bulky when folded, and might not be suitable for your toddler once they've outgrown their pram seat. Do some research before buying.

Joolz offers different double prams pushchairs that can be used in tandem or in line. They are easy to convert, and offer great functionality for growing families.

It can also be converted into one with the addition of a toddler board once your children are ready to move on to walking on their own.

Safety

To keep children safe and comfortable when out, it's crucial to select a double pram pushchair that has padded harnesses and seats. Double prams usually offer more storage space than single prams. This makes it easier to carry snacks, extra clothes toys, and other essentials for both children. There are many options available depending on whether you opt for a double pram side by side or one in the front.

The most sought-after option for the double pram is a convertible model. They begin as a single stroller, but can be transformed to accommodate an additional seat, bassinet/carrycot, or an infant car seat. They're ideal for those with two children who are close to their age and want to future proof their purchase.

Tandem prams however provide more room for seating and also a place for the child to sit or stand on a toddler board whilst the parent pushes them. They aren't foolproof as far as sibling squabbles are concerned though, so it's best to try and avoid having them in the same room in the same place when you can.

Double strollers come in a variety of styles and colors, so you can choose the one that best suits your family. Many families choose a side-byside double pram because of its versatility.
