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, which means you can connect a bassinet, a second seat or car capsule.

Stylish and lightweight This sleek stroller converts into a twin with an innovative frame that expands the width. It can also accommodate 2 carrycots, infant seats or a stroller. The canopy is UPF 50+ and comes with windows that can be seen from afar.

Comfort

A double pram pushchair can be a good investment if you're expecting a second child or when your toddler has already become a walker. You might find yourself taking the pushchair for long family walks or day excursions. It's important to keep in mind that not all double prams are created equal and you should select the right one to suit your lifestyle.

Double prams that are side by side offer 2 seats next to each other, so that your children can view each other and interact whilst walking. However, they tend to be larger than single prams and therefore may not fit through some doorways or be tricky to manoeuvre on busy footpaths or in shopping centres. They are also generally bulkier when folded.

Tandem (in-line) double prams are slightly easier to maneuver, but aren't as narrow as single prams. They are more difficult to fold as the seat is often further away from the handle. Additionally, they could require more components when you are ready to use them. They can also be more expensive than a side-by-side double pram.

Some first-time parents choose a double convertible pram to be able to protect their purchase and use it in 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 once they've outgrown their seat. Research before buying.

Tandem prams, on other hand, offer more flexibility in seating and allow for the child to sit or stand while the parent pushes.
