Buying a Double Pram Pushchair

A double pram pushchair is the best 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.

This sleek and light pram can be converted into a twin by using a clever frame which can be expanded in size. It can also fit 2 carrycots, infant seats or a stroller. The canopy is UPF 50+ and features windows that peek out.

Comfort

A double pram pushchair is a great investment if you are expecting a new baby or the toddler is already an avid walker. You might find yourself taking your child on long family walks or on day excursions. It's crucial to keep in mind that not all double pram is created equal and it's important to pick the best one for your needs.

Double prams with side by side seats allow your children to be together and interact while walking. However, they are typically larger than single prams for newborns, and thus may not be able to fit through some doorways or be tricky to manoeuvre on busy footpaths or in shopping centres. They can also be larger when folded.

Tandem double prams (in-line) are more convenient to maneuver, however they aren't as wide. They can be more difficult to fold because the seat is typically further away from the handle, and they may contain more components to assemble when you're ready to use them again. They also cost more than a double side by side pram.

Some parents who are first-time parents opt for a double convertible pram as a way to protect their investment and to use it in single or double mode, depending on the needs of your family.

They are ideal for parents with two children who are close in age and want to future proof their purchase.

It comes with a large basket that can be placed behind the seat when in the parent-facing position. The seat can be reversed so you can put your child facing either you or the rest of the world.
