Buying a double pram and pushchair (understanding)
A double pram is ideal for those who are looking to expand your family with the birth of a child or having two children who are close in age. Joolz offers a variety of single prams that can be transformed into double buggies.
Double prams with side-by-side seating allow your children to face each other, most often towards the world. Some also have seats that face parents.
Safety
When you are choosing a double pushchair car seat or pram the safety of your child's is of paramount importance. Be sure the model you pick has the appropriate padding, a safety harness and reclining positions for both seats. Consider a footrest or a sun canopy for added security and comfort.
The way you live with your family can also impact the kind of double pushchair or pram suitable for you. If you have a busy urban family you will likely prefer a stroller that is light and able to fit through doors that are narrow for lunchtimes with the kids or shopping trips.
You might decide to opt for a side-by-side style double pram or pushchair that lets your children sit alongside each other and help promote the bonding between siblings. You can also opt for a twin pushchair which can accommodate two carrycots and seat units. It is perfect for infants or toddlers who are of similar age.
Many double prams and pushchairs have a parent-facing option that gives parents peace of mind because it makes it simple to check on their child. Some models may even have additional padding to ensure your child's comfort as well as ergonomic support to ensure their spine is healthy.
A reversible pram is another ideal option for families that like to go on outdoor adventures. This allows you to switch the direction of travel strollers, and also change the scenery for your children to ensure they aren't bored!
It is important to ensure whether the pushchair can fold flat so that you can store it in your car and then take it out. It's also important to confirm that the model you choose will be able to fit through any important doorways at home. If you're not sure take a measurement of your door's width and compare it to 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 important baby products that you'll need. If you love going for long walks or full day trips with your children, a double pram allows you to enjoy family adventures together safely, comfortably and easily.
When choosing a double pram it is important to ensure that the seats are comfortable for your baby, have padded harnesses and recline to a fully flat position so that they can sleep comfortably throughout the day. Choose a double pram with a large basket, seat-back pocket, adjustable handlebars, and a variety of colours that suit your style. Some double prams come with a sun shade to shield your children from the sun's rays and rain covers that can be extended to keep them dry and comfortable on rainy days.
A tandem pram or a side-by-side double pram is a great option if you'd like your children to be able to face each other while they ride or see the world around them. Many side by side double prams are suitable for babies and can accommodate a carrycot or a toddler seat in the rear and an infant car seat in the front.
Tandem prams can be used by siblings of the same age or with a significant age gap. They usually include two toddler seats that can be set either forward facing or parent facing. They often come with adjustable sun canopies and adapters for car seats for toddlers too.

Style
When you are looking for a double pram, you should be looking at the design of the product since this will affect the overall appearance and feel of your pushchair. Some double prams are made to have modern, sleek and elegant look, while others have a more classic, timeless look. If you are looking for an extra-large stroller and have a particular style in mind, then look through our selection of designer and brand prams. They come in a variety of colors.
One of the most sought-after styles is a side-by-side dual stroller. These are ideal for transporting two children side-byside typically with the world facing away (although certain models let your children face one another). This type of double pram is a bit wider than a tandem or an in-line double buggy, however it can be more convenient to maneuver through doors and public transportation.
Tandem (in-line) double prams are great for families with two kids of similar ages. These can be used from birth with the use of a car seat adapter and have bassinets or seats for prams positioned in a "in-line" fashion in which one is placed behind the other. These models are extremely versatile since they can be switched to a single pushchair anytime you'd like.
Many first-time parents opt for an infant stroller that can be converted into a double, like the Joolz DUO2. The stroller can be converted into a tandem double pushchair when you are ready for your second baby. It also features an enormous undercarriage basket as well as an extended SPF 50+ canopy to help shield your child from sun damage.
Footmuffs are a great accessory that you can use in colder temperatures to keep your baby warm. They wrap around the bottom of the stroller. They are made from soft, warm fabric with a waterproof exterior. They can be purchased separately or as a part of the bundle. Many brands include a footmuff in their pram bundles or offer them as part of their accessories range.
Storage
A great double pram or pushchair will provide ample storage space to store all the items you require on your outings. Find a large basket that can easily hold all the bags and snacks of toys you need for your kids, as well as a parent tray underneath the handle for storing your phone and keys.
The best double top prams have various seating options that give you the freedom to select whether your children sit side by side or one in front of the other. You can configure them so that they are facing the same direction or in different directions for additional social interaction. Seats can be repositioned to make napping more enjoyable.
It's important to determine whether the seats are convertible too, since this allows you to swap them around depending on your day out plans. You should also look for harnesses and footrests that are padded to ensure that your children are comfortable throughout your trip.
When it comes to cleaning your pushchair, make sure whether the fabric is machine washable if you can. You will not have to wash muddy spots manually when you are able to machine wash them. You can also try using the pressure washer or hose to wash off wet dirt, or a soft brush and some gentle sterilising fluid for more stubborn marks.
If you're seeking a double pram to ensure your family's future, the tandem (in-line) model will provide the greatest flexibility and versatility. These will usually include two toddler seats and adaptors for baby car seats, so you can use them from birth. You can also buy a removable jump-seat or standing platform to ensure that your child can be part of the fun.
