Buying a double Pram and pushchair (Safetyguide.biz)
A double pram will be ideal if you’re expanding your family with the birth of a child or if you have two children who are close in age. Joolz has a range single prams that can be transformed into double buggies.
Side-by-side double prams feature your children placed on opposite sides, typically facing the world, however some also have parents-facing seats, too.
Safety
The safety of your children is paramount when selecting a double pram or pushchair. Make sure to select a model that has the appropriate padding as well as a safety belt, and recline positions on both seats. Consider a footrest or a sun canopy to provide protection and comfort.
Your family’s lifestyle can influence which double stroller or pushchair is the best for you. If you’re a crowded urban family, you will probably prefer a stroller that is able to navigate urban streets and squeeze through narrow doorways for those lunchtime dates or shopping excursions with the kids with you.
You could choose a side-by-side double pram or pushchair twin, which lets your children sit together and help promote socialization between siblings. You can also opt for a twin pushchair that can accommodate two carrycots as well as seat units. It is perfect for infants or toddlers who are of similar age.
Many double prams and pushchairs include a parent-facing option, which can give peace of mind for parents by making it easier to check on their baby. Some models will even have additional padding to ensure your child’s comfort as well as ergonomic support to ensure their spine stays healthy.
Families who enjoy outdoor adventures will also appreciate strollers that are reversible. This will allow you to change the direction of travel, and also change the scenery for your kids so that they don’t become bored!
You’ll need to check that the pushchair can be folded flat so that you can put it in your car and then take it out. It’s also important to confirm that the model you pick will fit through any important doorways at home. If you’re not sure then measure the width of your door and compare it with the size of the pram.
Comfort
If you have a toddler and are planning to have a second child, buying a double stroller is probably one of the most essential baby items that you’ll require. Double prams are ideal for family outings like long walks or day trips.
When selecting a double pram, it is essential to make sure the seats are comfy for your infants, have padded harnesses and recline to a completely flat position to allow them to rest comfortably throughout the day. Look for a double pram equipped with a large, spacious basket, seat-back pocket, adjustable handlebars and a variety of colors that will suit your taste. Some double prams come with a shade that can protect your children from the sun and extendable rain covers that keep them dry and comfortable on rainy days.
A tandem pram or side-by-side double pram is a fantastic choice if you’d like your children to face each other while they ride or see the world around them. A lot of tandem prams can be used from birth, and many come with options to fit a carrycot or toddler in the back and an infant car seat in the front.
Tandem prams are also ideal for siblings who may be similar in age or have an age gap. They typically include two toddler seats that can be positioned either in the direction of the parent or forward facing. Typically, they come with adjustable sun canopies and adapters for car seats for toddlers too.
The egg2 is popular with families who want a stylish and versatile double pushchair. Its sleek design allows it to easily navigate through tight spaces and fits into the boot of cars with small trunks. It’s also available in a variety of different colours and features an ample shopping basket, a footmuff, and adapters for infant car seats.
Another popular choice is the bugaboo donkey, an extremely light and easy to maneuver stroller that is ideal for families with older children. It’s nimble enough for jogging and comes with air-filled tyres which aid in its smooth glide on bumpy roads.
Style
It is crucial to consider the style of the double pram that you are considering when you shop. This will impact the overall appearance and feel of your pushchair. Some double prams sport an elegant and modern look, while others have a more classic and timeless look. If you are looking for a double stroller, and have a specific style in mind, look through our selection of designer and brand prams. They are available in a variety colours.
One of the most well-known designs is a side-by-side dual stroller newborn. These are great for transporting two young children side-by-side typically in a world-facing position (although there are a few options that allow your kids to face each other). This type of pram is a little larger than a tandem or an in-line double buggy, but is more maneuverable through doors and on public transportation.
Tandem double prams (in-line) are great for families with children of the same age. These can be used from birth by making use of a car seat adapter and feature seats or pram bassinets placed in an ‘in-line’ fashion, one behind the other. These models are extremely versatile as they can be changed back into a single pushchair anytime you want.
Many parents who are first-time parents choose one pram that is able to be converted into a double, like the Joolz DUO2. The stroller can be converted into a double pushchair when you’re ready for baby number two. It has a large basket under the carriage and an extendable SPF50+ canopy to protect your baby from the sun.
A footmuff is an optional accessory to wear in colder weather. It can be wrapped around the bottom of the pram to keep your baby warm. They are made of a soft, warm fabric that has a waterproof exterior. They can be purchased separately or as part an entire bundle. Many brands sell footmuffs as an accessory, or include them in their pram bundles.
Storage
A quality double pram for newborn or pushchair should provide ample storage space to store all the things you need on your outings. Find a large basket underneath that will easily hold all the bags of snacks and toys you require for your kids, and a parent tray under the handle where you can keep your phone and keys.
The top double prams offer a variety of seating options to give you the flexibility you need to decide if you want your children to sit side-byside or one in front of the other. You can also set them to face in the same direction, or in different ways for some extra socialization. Seats can be repositioned to make napping easier.
Make sure the seats can be reversed since you’ll be able to swap them based on what your plans are for the day. Look for padded harnesses too and a footrest that can be adjusted to ensure the kids are comfortable throughout your outing.
If you are able to, determine whether the fabric on your pushchair can be washed by machine. It is not necessary to clean muddy spots by hand when you can machine wash them. You can also use a hose, pressure washer or soft brush to clean up the mud.
If you’re looking for a double pram to help your family be prepared for the future, the tandem (in-line) model will give you the most flexibility and versatility. These will usually include two toddler seats and have adaptors for baby car seats so that you can use them from birth. You can also buy a jump-seat that is removable or a standing platform to ensure that your child can participate in the fun.
For a great budget option you can’t go wrong with the Joolz Twin Trouble twin pram that is light and folds up very compactly. It can be used with a Maxi-Cosi or Cybex infant car seat and has a huge shopping basket, which means you don’t have to worry about running out of space in the car boot. Other benefits include the sun canopy that can be adjusted and the child and parent trays, which have cup holders.
