Buying a Double Pram Pushchair

A double pram pushchair is the best option for parents who have more than one child. They're usually convertible, allowing you to attach a bassinet, another seat or car capsule.

This stylish and lightweight pram can be transformed into a twin by using a clever frame that expands in width. It also accommodates two carrycots or infant seats and has a huge UPF 50+ canopy, with windows that peek out.

Comfort

A double pram pushchair is a great investment if you are expecting a second baby or the toddler is already a walking warrior. You might find yourself taking your child for long family walks or on day trips. It's important to keep it in mind that not all double prams are the same and you should select the right one that fits your needs.

Double prams that are side by side provide two seats next to each other, so that your children can view each other and have fun while on a walk. They are usually wider than single prams, and may not be able to pass through certain doorways. They may also be difficult to maneuver on busy footpaths or in shopping malls. They also tend to be heavier when folded.

Tandem double prams (in-line) are easier to maneuver, but not as wide. They are more difficult to fold since the seat is usually farther away from the handle. Also, they may require more components when you are ready to use them. They also cost more than a double side by side pram.

Some parents who are new to the world choose a double convertible pram to be able to secure their investment and to use it in a double or single mode, depending on the requirements of your family. They tend to be quite large and bulky when folded, and might not be suitable for your toddler after they have outgrown their pram seat. Research before purchasing.

Joolz offers a range of double pram pushchairs in tandem or in-line style that are simple to convert and have great functionality for the growing family.

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

They are ideal for parents who have two children that are close to their age and want to future proof their purchase.

Tandem prams on the other hand, provide more flexibility in seating as well as space for the child to stand or sit while the parent pushes. They aren't foolproof as far as sibling squabbles are concerned though, so it's best to avoid having them in the same place at the same time as much as possible.
