A double pram pushchair is great for parents with twins or a toddler and newborn. It makes traveling with two children a lot easier. Many models come with two seats with padded seating facing the world that can be reversed so that siblings can sit together or face their parents as well as an rumble-style seat for older children that is more upright and easier to use.

Features

One of the main factors to consider when purchasing a double pram pushchair is the versatility it's going to be. Whether you're looking for something that will expand with your family or need a solution that will get your kids from newborn to toddler there are plenty of options available.

Double prams are a great option for families with busy schedules. Consider features that will make it easier for them to navigate through rough terrain and urban environments. For instance, great maneuverability and a smooth ride will make it easy to steer through crowded streets and narrow aisles in shops or maneuver in tight spaces. Also a well-thought-out folding mechanism will make it simple to load into the trunk of your car or fold away to store at home.

Another thing to take into account is how narrow or wide a Double stroller with bassinet pram pushchair is, as this will determine if it can go through your front door or any other doors you frequent. Double prams that are side-by-side tend to be more narrow than tandem models, but it is worth checking the dimensions of your chosen model to make sure it will fit through any doors you regularly use.

Some of the top double prams have seats that can be reversible, which means you can decide to have your children face each their respective parents or sit in front of the parent. This will allow them to connect and socialize with each other as you run the errands. Some double prams have adjustable footrests and seats to ensure your children are comfortable.

It's also worth considering a double stroller that can be used alongside a carrycot, bassinet or baby capsule. It can be used as a double pram for your older child, and then add an additional seat, bassinet or carrycot when the baby arrives. In many instances it will save you money and space compared to buying two separate prams for each stage in your family's existence.

A neat feature to look for in a double pram pushchair is the ability to recline the seat and canopy with a touch of an button. This will allow you to create a comfortable lying-flat area for your infant or toddler so that they can take a nap on long trips. The Joolz Venus has a reclining toddler and an add-on RumbleSeat that can be reclined in a variety of positions by pressing a button. Its padded, reversible seats are extremely comfortable and the huge UPF 50+ canopy with peekaboo windows is large enough to provide shade.

Styles

A double pram will be essential for families with twins, or siblings who are similar in age and would like to go on family outings together. There are a variety of double pram pushchairs available and deciding on the best one for your family is an overwhelming decision. Some of the most common styles are single-to-dual and side-by-side and tandem. Side-by-side prams are ideal for children who have siblings because they provide the same level of visibility and seating that allow children to interact with one another. It is important to remember that they can be heavier and bulkier, and therefore less maneuverable in busy areas or on public transport.

Dual-toddler strollers, on contrary, are more space-efficient and have 2 toddler seats that can be adjusted to suit your child's needs. They can also accommodate a carrycot or infant seat, making them a great option for twins or children of similar age.

Non-convertible side-by-side prams aren't foolproof in regards to preventing sibling fights as it is possible for one child to punch or kick the other while in their seat. These types of prams aren't ideal for children who have different developmental milestones, since they must change their seating positions throughout the day.

Tandem prams are another popular option as they offer plenty of space for your growing family, while allowing you to take advantage of the outdoors. They are great for siblings who are close in age, as they encourage interaction and can be personalized with different seating options to meet your family's requirements. They can be large and wide, making them less maneuverable than convertible or single prams. They may also be difficult to fit in doors.

The single-to-dual Cybex Wave is a popular and unique design. It lets you use the pushchair in a variety of configurations starting from newborns to 4 years old, with the addition of a tandem seat, the second carrycot, or infant car seat. This unique design not only saves money by eliminating the need to purchase a separate pram for your older child, but it looks fantastic too!

Size

When looking for a double pram pushchair, the size is a crucial aspect to consider. Double strollers are typically wider than single strollers and typically have a larger footprint due to the larger seat. This means they may be a bit longer, too. It is worth checking the dimensions to ensure that your new vehicle will pass through hallways and doors at home prior to purchasing.

Double prams that can be used side-by-side, such as the Bugaboo Donkey 5 are perfect for siblings who are similar in age. Both seats offer views of the world and have adjustable seating options that encourage interaction between children. This type of double pram is wide and may not fit through some doors. It is ideal for homes with large entryways.

tandem double buggy double prams, like the CYBEX Gazelle S Twin Pram, are designed specifically for twins or siblings that are close in age and can be used from birth through the use of a baby car seat adapter. They can also be converted into a single pushchair by the addition of a bassinet or carrycot and are much easier to maneuver on public transport.

The reclined seats are another feature that you should look for in a double stroller. They offer more flexibility and comfort for both children. They can allow one child to lie down for a nap while the other one sits up, and they are the perfect choice for babies all the way to toddlers.

Storage space is another feature to look out for in a double car seat stroller pram, as the majority of models come with ample storage options to store everything you need to carry and additional items. This can reduce the need for additional bags and backpacks, which will make your trips more comfortable.

Some double prams feature adjustable handlebars which is an excellent feature for parents of all heights. This allows you to adjust the position of the handlebars based on your height. This means it is easier for taller parents to avoid stooping and shorter parents to maintain a proper posture while pushing the buggy.

Safety

A quality double buggy converts to single pram pushchair should have a secure, safe harness that's easy to fasten and unfasten. Find buckles with five points (one strap for each leg and arm, and a fifth strap that goes out from the center of the seat). It also helps to have seats that are padded with generous padding around the shoulders, head and legs, as well as a large shopping basket that can accommodate the kids' belongings.

A sturdy chassis is an important safety feature, along with the locking brake, particularly when traveling downhill. Some models come with the option of a telescopic bar, which allows you to adjust the height so you can maneuver the stroller easily.

The best double prams to use with twins or siblings will come with two toddler seats, however they may also be able to accommodate an infant car seat as well as a bassinet/carry cot for newborns. Some might have a huge basket, as well as other features, like an expandable sun canopy or parent consoles.

The right double stroller for your family can be a challenge. A convertible stroller will give you flexibility if you're expecting another child within the next three years, since it can be reverted back to a single to double pushchair stroller. A tandem double stroller will be a great option for parents looking to keep their children near in the age range of.

But, it's important to remember that both styles have their negatives, for instance the seats of a side-by-side double stroller can be difficult to place and can cause sibling fights about who sits in which position. It's also worth looking for an option that has a simple folding mechanism, which will make it much easy to fit into the car's boot or take public transport, or even store at your home. A good double pushchair should be easy to maneuver regardless of whether you're driving it down a busy street or navigating narrow doors. Pay attention to the weight of the pram as it will hinder your ability to maneuver the pram.
