We know that choosing a pram is a huge decision, the right pram can carry you through from birth to toddler and could also have the option to be adapted to use as a double pushchair. It is important to choose something that best suits your lifestyle.
Key things to consider when buying a double pram:
How active is your lifestyle?
If you go jogging everyday you may want a jogging stroller. We recommend the Out N About Nipper Double Sport Stroller. This pram is the perfect jogging solution for parents with twins or two babies. Folding this stroller couldn’t be easier and considering this is a double the chassis folds down to a relatively compact size. If you tend to go walking a lot in places with a rougher terrain you may want to consider getting a more robust pram with a lot of suspension. For example, the Out N About Nipper Double V4, surprisingly this pram is one the lightest double buggies around.
Making sure manoeuvrability is easiest for you:
Before you buy any stroller, we recommend you popping into our stores to try the prams in person, doing this means you’ll be able to get a feel for which pram suits your needs best. For example, how easy it is to get around corners, going up curbs, folding down and seeing the size and weight etc. if you are unable to come to store our website has a large variety of double prams to take a look at including the descriptions and dimensions. One of our most popular manoeuvrable double prams is the Cybex Gazelle S. The Gazelle S grows with your family offering over 20 different configurations and providing practicality. Comfort and convenience on every journey.
Ages and weights of your children:
Before buying your double pram, you should check the weight limit. This is important so that you are getting your worths out of what you purchase. Some children may be close to the weight limit as what the pushchair can hold meaning you won't get much use as using your double pram. Having a good stroller with a higher weight limit also benefits those who have more than two children and the eldest being young enough to also pop into your pram if needed. For this we recommend the Silver Cross Wave. This pram allows easy transition from single to double mode and offers 7 different combinations with the ability to expand to 30 different configurations with the purchase of additional accessories.
The size of your vehicles boot:
As some double prams can be quite big once folded down it is important to make sure it fits in your vehicle. To ensure you are buying a double stroller that will fit in you boot you can take a look at the dimensions on our website or pop into store and try it out in your vehicle for your reassurance.
Bonus features:
The most essential bonus feature when you are choosing your double pram is storage. Extra storage underneath or added onto the side of the chassis makes it a lot easier for you to store both of baby's essentials when out and about. A good recommendation for this is the Bugaboo Donkey 5, as this pram is a side by side it has a very wide basket for you to store stuff in. This stroller also has an add on basket which is attached to the side of the chassis when it is converted into a single mode pram.
Another bonus feature for double prams is being able to have the option of adding on a buggy board for those with 3 younger children. If this is a feature that you would be interested in the Icandy Orange and Icandy Peach 7 have a built-in buggy board as well as being able to turn into double pushchairs!
