Buying a Double Pram Pushchair
A double pram pushchair is a great option for parents who have more than one child. They're typically convertible, allowing you to attach a bassinet, second seat, or car capsule.
This sleek and light pram can be converted into a twin by using an innovative frame that increases in the width. It can also accommodate two infant seats or carrycots and features a hugely generous UPF 50+ canopy, with peekaboo windows.
Comfort
A double pram pushchair is a great investment if you are expecting a new baby or if your toddler is already a walking warrior. You may find yourself taking them for long family walks or even day excursions. It's important to keep in mind that not all double prams are alike and you should choose the best one that fits your needs.
Double prams that have side by side seats let your children communicate and meet when they go for a walk. However, they are typically larger than single prams and thus may not be able to fit through some doorways or be difficult to maneuver on busy footpaths or in shopping centers. They are also generally bulkier when folded.
Tandem double prams (in-line) are more convenient to maneuver, but aren't as narrow. They are more difficult to fold as the seat is typically further away from the handle. Additionally, they might require more components when you are ready to use them. They also tend to be more expensive than a side by side double pram.
Some parents who are new to the world choose a double convertible pram as a way to secure their investment and be able to use it in a double or single mode, depending on the needs of your family. However, they can be quite wide and bulky when folded and may not be suitable for your toddler when they outgrow their pram seat so be careful to do some thorough research prior to purchasing.

Safety
To keep children safe and comfortable when out, it's crucial to select a double pushchair with padded seats and harnesses.

There are many options available for you to choose from a double pram that is side by side or in the front.
The most sought-after option for the double pram is a convertible one. They begin as a single stroller but can be converted to accommodate a second seat, bassinet/carrycot or infant car seat. These are ideal for parents who have two children of similar ages and want to future-proof their purchase.
Tandem prams are a different matter. They provide more flexibility in seating and also a place for the child to stand or sit on a toddler board while the parent pushes them. However, they aren't infallible when it comes down to fights between siblings. It is best to avoid placing them in the same seat.

Stores
A double pram pushchair might appear like a daunting job but it's worthwhile to do the research prior to making a purchase. There are so many factors to consider, including comfort for your children and parents, fold, weight, size and wheels. It's also important to look at the quality of the fabric and how it is constructed. A well-made pram will last longer, be capable of being repaired easily and will also have a greater return value.
Another feature to consider is the number of bassinets, or prams, that the double pushchair will accommodate. If you're planning to make your purchase, opt for a tandem (in-line) double buggy. This type of double stroller features the children positioned side by side making it easier to get through doors and on public transportation. Tandem double buggies can be wider than the single pushchair. It is important to verify the measurements prior to purchase.

Style
The design of their double pushchair is a major consideration for many parents. There are a lot of fashionable and practical options there to suit any taste.
A side-byside pram with two fixed seats is a popular choice for parents of children of the same age. These are usually more compact than tandem or in-line double prams which makes them easier to maneuver through doors and on busy footpaths and in shops. They can be used in conjunction with carrycots or car seats if needed, depending on your preference.
Another option is a single-to-double pram conversion kit which allows you to turn your existing pushchair into double one by the addition of the second seat. This is a great method to protect your investment for the future and avoid the expense of buying a brand double buggy. Our favourite option for this is the Joolz Geo3 double pram which combines both styles with a clever frame that can be expanded to accommodate a second seat. It can be used to accommodate two carrycots, carseats and toddler seats once your older child is old enough.
Other stylish options include other stylish options include the Babybee LUNA pram. This stylish and safe double pram is suitable for children from birth up to age five. Both seats are able to reclined independently in an upright position. The LUNA can be used with a cozy LUNA newborn cocoon or with two car seats and is able to conform to all Australian safety standards.
Double prams are an ideal choice for families with close-aged children. These prams can be a bit wider than other double buggies and are more difficult to maneuver on busy footpaths or up and down kerbs.
Try the Cybex DUO2, available in duo or mono mode. It has a large basket that can be placed behind the seat when it is in parent-facing mode. The seat can be reversible so you can have your baby facing either you or the rest of the world.
