Buying a Double Pram and Pushchair
A double pram is ideal if you're expanding your family by the birth of a child or having two children who are similar in age. Joolz has a range single prams that can be transformed into double buggies.
Double prams with side-by-side seating have your children facing each other, most often towards the world. Some also offer seats that are facing parents.
Safety
When selecting a double pushchair or pram the safety of your child is of paramount importance. Make sure the model you choose has the appropriate padding, a safety harness and recline places for both seats. Think about a footrest or sun canopy to add protection and comfort.
Your family's lifestyle will determine which double pram or pushchair is right for you. If you are a busy urban family you will likely prefer a stroller that is light and can fit through doors that are narrow for lunchtimes with your children or shopping trips.
You can opt for a double pushchair or pram that allows your children to sit together. This can help encourage interaction between siblings. You could also choose a twin pushchair which can accommodate two carrycots and seat units. It is perfect for infants or toddlers who are similar in age.
Many double prams or pushchairs come with a parent-facing option that gives parents peace of mind by making it easy to monitor their child. Some models have extra padding to ensure your child's comfort and provide an ergonomic back support.
Families who enjoy outdoor adventures will also enjoy a reversible stroller. This lets you switch the direction of travel and switch the scenery for your children to ensure they aren't bored!
Whether you are looking for a single, side-byside or twin pushchair you'll want to make sure that it folds flat enough for you to put it away and take it out of your car. It's also important to confirm that the model you choose can pass through the doors of any important building at home. If you are unsure, measure your door width and compare it with the size of the pram.
Comfort
If you have a toddler and expecting a new baby, purchasing a double pram and pushchair pram is likely to be among the most essential baby items that you'll require. If you like to go for long walks or day outings with your little ones then a double pram allows you to take your family on adventures with your loved ones safely, comfortably and easily.
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 flat position to allow them to rest comfortably throughout the day. Look out for a large shopping basket, seats-back pockets, adjustable handlebars and a variety of colors to fit your style. Some double prams come with a parasol that helps shield your children from the sun and rain covers that can be extended to keep them dry and comfortable during rainy days.
A side by side double pram, or tandem pram, is an excellent option if you want to make sure that your children face each other or look at the world around them while they ride. A lot of tandem prams can be used from the time of birth, and some have 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 are the same age or have a large age difference between them. They typically include two toddler seats that can be placed either in the direction of the parent or forward facing. Typically, they come with adjustable sun canopies and adapters for toddler car seats too.

Style
When shopping for a double pram and travel system, you should be looking at the style of the item since this will affect the overall look and feel of your foldable pushchair. Some double prams have modern and sleek designs and others have a more classic timeless appearance. If you're in search of an extra-large stroller and have a particular style in mind, check out our ranges of designer and brand prams. They are available in a range of colours.
A side-by-side double stroller is one of the most popular types. These are great for transporting two children side-byside, usually with the world facing away (although some options allow your kids to face each other). This kind of double pram is slightly wider than a tandem or an in-line double buggy. However, it is a lot easier to maneuver through doors and public transport.
Tandem double prams (in-line) are ideal for families with children of similar age. These can be used from birth through the use of a car seat adapter and feature seats or pram bassinets placed in a 'in-line' manner in which one is placed behind the other. These models are very versatile because they can be converted back into a single pushchair whenever 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 are ready for your second baby. It comes with a huge basket under the carriage and an extendable SPF50+ canopy to shield your baby from the sun.
Footmuffs are a great accessory that can be used in colder weather to keep your baby warm. They are affixed to the bottom of the stroller. These are made of a soft, warm fabric with a waterproof outer. They can be bought either separately or in the bundle. Many brands sell footmuffs as an accessory or include them with their pram bundles.
Storage
A double pram should provide enough storage space for all the items you will require on your journeys. Find a large basket underneath that can easily accommodate all the bags of snacks and toys you need for your children and a tray for the parents beneath the handle, where you can keep your keys and phone.
The best double prams also come with a variety of seating options to allow you to have the flexibility you need, whether you want your children to sit side-by-side or one in front of the other. You can configure them so that they have the same view or in different directions for additional interaction. The seats can also recline to make nap times easier.
It's worth checking whether the seats are convertible too, since this allows you to swap them around depending on your day out plans. Look for padded harnesses too and an adjustable footrest to ensure that your children are comfortable for your entire excursion.
When it comes to cleaning your pushchair, make sure whether the fabric is machine washable if you can. It is not necessary to wash muddy spots by hand when you are able to machine wash them. You can also use the pressure washer or hose to clean off wet mud, or a soft brush and some gentle sterilising liquid for more resistant marks.
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. They usually include two toddler seats, and adaptors that allow you to use them from the moment your baby is born. You can also purchase an adjustable jump-seat that can be removed or a standing platform so that your older child can participate in the fun.
The Joolz Twin Trouble is a lightweight twin pram that folds up extremely compactly. It can be used in conjunction with a Maxi Cosi or Cybex car seat.
