Buying a Double Pram Pushchair

If you're expecting twins, or have a newborn and a toddler, then a double pram pushchair will allow you to travel with both kids easier. There are many models that have two seats that are padded facing the world, and can be reversible, so that siblings can share a seat or face their parents, as well as a rumble-style seat for older children that is more upright and easy for them to use.

Of course, a thoughtful folding mechanism will make it simple to load into the car's boot or fold away for storage at home.

Another thing to take into account is how wide or narrow a double pram pushchair is, as this will determine if it will fit through your front door or other doorways you frequent. Side-by-side double prams tend to be narrower than tandem models, however it's important to check the dimensions of the model to ensure it can fit through any doors you regularly use.

The best double prams come with seats that can be reversible, which means you can decide to have your children facing each with their backs to the parent.

Both seats offer views of their surroundings and have adjustable seating options that promote interaction between children. This kind of double pram is quite large and might not be able to pass through certain doors. It is best suited to homes with large entranceways.

Tandem double prams such as the CYBEX Gazelle S Twin Pram are made for twins or siblings who are similar in age. They can be used as early as the time of birth using the baby car seat. They can be converted to a single pushchair by adding a carrycot or a bassinet. This makes them easier to maneuver on public transport.

Reclining seats are yet another excellent feature to look out for in a double pushchair as they offer additional versatility and comfort for both children. They can let one child to lie down for a nap while the other one sits up, and are the ideal option for infants up to toddlers.

It is also beneficial to have seats that are generously padded around the shoulders, head and legs. A large shopping basket can be used to store both children's belongings.

A sturdy chassis is an important safety feature, as is a brake that is locked, particularly when you are traveling downhill. Certain models come with a telescopic bar that allows you to adjust its height to allow you to maneuver the stroller comfortably.

The best double prams for twins or siblings will have two toddler seats, but they may also accommodate an infant car seat as well as the bassinet/carry crib for infants. Some might have a huge basket, and also other features like an extendable sun canopy or consoles for parents.

A quality double pushchair will be a breeze to maneuver also, regardless of whether you're driving it along the busy streets or narrow doors.
