Double Pram Buyer’s Guide
When deciding between the best double prams there are lots of factors to consider.
This guide will help reduce stress and make choosing the option best suited to you and your family a lot easier.
RELATED: Redsbaby Vs Bugaboo Prams
twins or two children of different ages?
If you are looking for an option for twins, try to find one that can take two car seats at the same time to make travelling easier for you and your family.
If you’re looking for the best double pram for children of different ages look for options that allow the seating to be moved independently of one another.
If there is a large age gap you may want to consider a tandem pram that can be turned into a single stroller by removing one of the seats.
Twin or Tandem?
A twin pram is a side-by-side while a tandem is one seat in front of the other. Choosing between the two can be tough but they each have their pros and cons.
Twin options are wider, have easier steering and are usually lighter while tandem options are slimmer making them easier to get through doorways and around supermarket aisles.

Additional Considerations & Accessories
- Wheel size and type – if you know you will be using the pram off-road in parks or in the countryside look for options that have large sturdy wheels designed to give versatility and easy use on uneven surfaces. This will make a big difference in how easy it is to push the pram around.
- Adjustable handles – this is a great option if you and your partner are different heights as you can adjust the height of the handle to suit whoever is pushing the pram.
- Ease of folding away – ideally you want the baby carrier to fold away easily using just one hand. Also, make sure the pram is not too heavy, especially if you will be lifting it in and out of cars etc.
- Size – you will want your babies pram to easily fit through standard doorways and into your car so keep this in mind when choosing a model.
- Sun protection – this helps to promote baby health by protecting against UV rays.
- Storage space – having available pockets and storage areas is always a huge help, the storage is useful for keeping nappies, money, sunscreen, food, toys etc close by and within reach.
- Weight limit – consider how long you plan to be using the stroller and whether you want it to be able to support your children as toddlers as well as newborns. Pram seats usually have a weight limit that is clearly advertised in the product description so take a look at this before purchasing.
