Buying a Double Pram Pushchair

A lightweight double stroller pram pushchair is great for parents with twins or a toddler and newborn. It makes travelling with two children a lot easier. There are many models that come with two seats that are padded and face the world that can be reversed for siblings to sit together or face the parent, plus an rumble seat for older children that's a bit more upright and simple to use.

Features

When purchasing a double pushchair the versatility of the product is a major factor to consider. There are numerous options available depending on whether you're looking for something that can grow with your family or a solution for taking your child from infant to toddler.

Double prams are a practical option for families with busy schedules. Consider features that help them to navigate rough terrain and urban environments. For instance, great maneuverability and a responsive wheel will make it easier to navigate through the crowded streets or navigate narrow aisles in stores or maneuver in tight spaces. Of course a well-thought-out folding mechanism will ensure it's easy to load it into the boot of your car or fold up to store at home.

Another important factor to consider is how wide or narrow a double pram pushchair is in order to determine whether it can fit through your front door or any other doors you frequent. Side-by-side models tend to be narrower than tandems, but you should check the dimensions to make sure it can pass through your doorways.

Some of the best double prams have seats that are reversible, so you can have your children face one their respective parents or sit and stand double stroller (Full Content) in front of the parent. This makes it easier for children to socialize and interact with one another while you go about your daily chores. Some double prams are equipped with adjustable footrests and seats to ensure your children are comfortable.

It's also worth thinking about a double stroller that could be used alongside a bassinet, carrycot, or baby capsule. You can use it as a double-pram for your older child, and then add another seat or bassinet when the baby is born. This can save space and money compared to purchasing two separate prams for different stages of your family's life.

One feature worth looking for in a double pram pushchair is the ability to recline the seat and canopy with the push of the button. You can create a comfy lying-flat space for your child to nap on long journeys. The Joolz Venus, for example offers a reclining toddler seat and the RumbleSeat that can be reclined in multiple positions by pressing a button. The seats, which are padded and reversible, are extremely comfortable and the large UPF 50+ canopy with peekaboo windows is large enough to offer real shade.

Styles

A double pram is essential for families with twins or siblings close in age and wish to spend time together on family outings. There are a variety of double pram pushchairs and picking the best one for your family is an arduous task. Some of the most sought-after designs include single-to-double or side-by-side, as well as tandem. Side-by-side prams are ideal for children who have siblings because they provide equal seating and visibility which allow children to interact one another. However it is important to remember that they can be longer and heavier than single prams and might not be as easily maneuverable in crowds or on public transport.

Dual-toddler strollers on the contrary, are more efficient in space and feature two toddler seats that can be adjusted to meet your child's requirements. They can also accommodate an additional carrycot or infant car seat making them ideal for twins or two children of similar age.

Side-by-side non-convertible prams can't prevent sibling rivalries because it's possible for children to kick or punch another child while sitting. These prams aren't suitable for children with different developmental milestones because they must change their seating positions throughout the day.

Tandem prams provide ample space for your growing family and allow you to enjoy the outdoors. They are a great choice for children who are similar in age because they encourage interaction and can be customised with various seating options to suit your family's needs. However, they can be long and wide, which means they may not be as maneuverable as convertible or single prams. They can also be difficult to maneuver through doors.

A well-known and unique design is the single to double stroller-to-dual Cybex Wave. The pushchair can be used in a variety of configurations ranging from newborns through 4 year olds with the addition of a tandem, second hand double buggy carrycot or an infant car seats. This unique design not only saves money by not having to purchase an additional pram for your older child, but it also looks great as well!

Size

The size of the double pram is an important aspect to take into consideration when shopping for the perfect pushchair. Double strollers are generally wider than single to double stroller prams, and have a bigger footprint due to the additional seat. This means that they can be a bit longer as well. It is a good idea to verify the dimensions to make sure your new buggy will fit through doorways and hallways at home prior to buying.

Double prams that are side-by-side, such as the Bugaboo Donkey 5, are ideal for siblings who are close in age. Both seats have a view of their surroundings and have adjustable seating options that foster interaction between children. This kind of double pram is quite large and might not fit through certain doors. It is ideal for homes with large entranceways.

Tandem double prams, like the CYBEX Gazelle S twin strollers for newborns Pram, are made specifically for twins or siblings that are similar in age and can be used from birth with the use of a baby car seat adapter. They can also be converted to one pushchair by the addition of a bassinet or carrycot and are much more maneuverable on public transportation.

The reclined seats are a different option to look for in a double stroller. They offer more flexibility and comfort for both children. They let one child lay flat and rest while the other one is seated up. They are ideal for toddlers and infants.

Double prams with ample storage space are also worth looking out for. They can be used to store your essentials as well as extras. This can reduce the need for additional bags and backpacks, which will make your trips more comfortable.

Some double prams have adjustable handlebars. This is a fantastic feature for parents of all heights. This allows you to adjust the position of the handlebars based on your height, meaning it is easier for taller parents to avoid stooping while allowing shorter parents to maintain proper posture while pushing the buggy.

Safety

A good double pram pushchair needs a secure, safe harness that's simple to secure and unfasten. Look for five-point straps (one over each foot and arm and a fifth coming up from the middle of the seat). It is also helpful to have seats that are padded to the max around the shoulders, head and legs. A large shopping basket can be used to store children's possessions.

A sturdy chassis is another important security feature, as is a locking brake, especially when you are traveling downhill. Some models have an adjustable bar that allows you to alter its height to allow you to maneuver the stroller with ease.

The most suitable double prams for twins or siblings will have two toddler seats, but some will also accommodate an infant car seat as well as the bassinet/carry crib for infants. Some models may come with a large basket, and other features like an extendable sun canopy or consoles for parents.

Selecting the best double stroller for your family can be a challenge. A convertible pram will give you the flexibility you need if you're expecting another child in the next three years, as it can be converted back to an individual stroller. A tandem double stroller is a great option for parents looking to make sure their children are close in age, as it will allow them to use the stroller for as long as is possible.

But, it's important to remember that both styles have negatives, for instance seats in the side-by-side stroller can be awkwardly placed and can lead to sibling squabbles about who sits in which spot. It's also important to look for one that has a simple folding mechanism, since this makes it much easier to put it in the trunk of your car or use public transportation or store at home. It must also be easy to maneuver, whether driving it along an artery or through narrow entranceways. Pay attention to the weight, as it can hinder your ability to maneuver the pram.
