When I had my first baby, there was just so much gear to buy! I couldn’t afford to spend the earth, so I chose to buy second hand for big things, like the stroller. Sure, I saved money but I ended up buying 4 in a year. They were never quite what I expected, or they broke quickly because they had already had so much use.

With my second, I didn’t want to make the same mistake. I already had most of the stuff I needed from the first time around, meaning I didn’t feel so bad spending more money to get the best double stroller on the market.

TYPES OF BEST DOUBLE PRAM 2020, AUSTRALIA

SIDE BY SIDE PRAMS

Exactly like it sounds, these prams have two seats placed side by side. This causes these style of prams to be wider than the average stroller, sometimes causing problems fitting through doorways or supermarket aisles.

Although wider, and sometimes heavier, the plus to this style is that both children can have an unhindered view of the outside world. With the other style of double pram, this isn’t always possible and one child usually ends up with their view blocked.

TANDEM PRAMS

These strollers have one seat in front of the other, sometimes both at the same level and sometimes one child seated higher than the other. A lot of people consider these to be the best double pushchair for baby and toddler. The best tandem pram Australia 2020 will fit through standard doorways and doesn’t take up an entire aisle at the shops.

Although narrower, these prams can be longer which, in some cases, makes them a little harder to maneuver around corners and up curbs. I also found that you usually have to purchase extra seats or attachments, to suit children from newborn right through to the toddler stage.

TODDLER SEAT ATTACHMENTS

Buying a pram seat attachment for toddlers is becoming more and more popular! If you already have a pram that you adore, and your first child is a little older, a “buggy board seat” or “pram skateboard seat” might be the answer.

They’re a board on wheels which clips onto the back of the pram and has a seat on top. Some pram seat attachments are brand specific but there are plenty of universal models as well.

They are not great for long journeys and the child can’t nap in them. Although they are a quick and easy alternative if you have an older child, who does not usually use the pram too much anyway.

HOW TO CHOOSE THE BEST DOUBLE STROLLER, AUSTRALIA

SIZE AND WEIGHT

This was the most important thing to consider for me. We do a lot of travelling and long road trips and my partner works away. I needed the best lightweight double stroller that doesn’t take up too much space and I can easily lift by myself.

Fortunately, lightweight options are becoming more common nowadays but even the best light double strollers tend to be bulky once folded. The best double stroller for travel is one that packs down flat and fits in the car, without the wheels having to be removed. It’s a good idea to check measurements of your car boot before you purchase a double pram.

AGE AND WEIGHT OF CHILDREN

ALWAYS check the weight limit of the pram you are going to buy, even the best double pushchair can only stand a certain amount of weight.

As well as checking the top weight limit, make sure to check the lowest age suitability as some double prams, just like singles, are not suitable for newborns. The best twin stroller, for example, will be one suitable for newborns, with a high top weight limit as well, to accommodate two toddlers later on.

This can seem confusing when it comes to double prams, as you may have twins who are the same age and weight or you may have two completely different age and size children. To make things easier, in each of my reviews I’ve made it very clear what type of child that pram is suitable for.

WHEELS AND BRAKES

Different wheels have vastly different pros and cons so they’re something worth paying close attention to. Whilst front wheels that swivel provide better manoeuvrability, the ability to lock them in place makes travelling at a faster pace easier. Therefore this becomes a vital function if you are looking for the best double jogging stroller.

I know a few people who purchased prams with inflatable wheels, only to be disappointed when they punctured. Inflatable wheels provide a comfier ride but, in my opinion, solid wheels are much more reliable.

Another very important safety feature is brakes. The safest option is a stroller where both rear wheels have separate brakes which are linked and engaged by one single lever. Brakes should also be easily accessible so I prefer the hand-operated kind.

BACKREST/RECLINE OPTIONS

As I mentioned before, make sure that both seats can recline independently of each other. Also, babies under 6 months should not be placed in a pram that doesn’t fully recline.

A double pram that allows both seats to fully recline to a lay-flat position is a great option. It allows either child to sleep comfortably and will make your life much easier. Look out for this, as some types of tandem-seat positioning don’t allow the front seat to recline fully or at all!

SAFETY

Safety should always be top of your priority list when choosing an item for your children. In Australia, the safety standard for prams is very comprehensive and you can get all the details. All companies making or selling prams in Australia must comply with these standards.

Please ensure if you are buying a cheap pram online, or from a retailer that you’re not sure on, you check it meets all the Australian standards. I do not advise buying a pram from overseas for this exact reason.

OTHER FEATURES OF THE BEST DOUBLE PRAM

Design – Safety should be the number one priority but who wants to be pushing around an ugly pram for the next two years? Make sure you choose a double pram you know you will be happy with the look of for a while.

Storage – Make sure to put some thought into where your double pram will be stored on a day to day basis. Will it remain in the car boot? Or do you need the best compact double stroller, so it fits in a specific spot in your house?

Detachable Seats – Seats that can be removed are going to be handy. If your older child grows out of the pram, you can remove the toddler seat and it’s a bit less bulky to deal with. Likewise, a detachable baby bassinet seat makes transferring newborns from pram to home much easier.

Canopy – So important for sun protection but also for blocking babies view when they sleep so they’re not woken by passers-by. Make sure to find a pram with a canopy that can be pulled down low.

This pram comes with multiple colour variations and you’re able to pick from the colour of the Pram’s Frame to the colour of the Fabric.

The best double stroller for infant and toddler, the Bugaboo Donkey2, is very useful because of its spacious storage baskets: the under-seat expandable basket and the expandable side luggage basket (that has built-in pockets and cover) allowing you to carry as many things as you need on your stroll.

Another thing you should keep in mind about this best tandem double stroller for infant and toddler is how easy it is to manoeuvre, thanks to its front swivel wheels and tight turn radius. So even with two kids and a lot of luggage on your hands, your stroll will be smooth and enjoyable!

THE BEST TWIN PRAM REVIEW

ICandy Orange Blossom Double Stroller

The ICandy Orange Blossom Stroller is the best double stroller for twins, because of its ability to upgrade with a crazy amount of extras – parents can upgrade it for an older sibling by just purchasing the carrycot and extra seat fabrics.

I believe this is the best twin pushchair because of the variety in the seats facing choices – you can have the kids facing towards the parent, the world, or facing each other – for some fun and interaction.

The ICandy Orange Blossom Double Pram is also the best double pram for newborn twins because it provides the optimal comfort for your children, the fabrics being meticulously considered.

Another thing I love about this Stroller is the variety of colours you can choose from to fit your own style. You can choose from Flame (Orange), Brown, Carbon (Charcoal), Pop (Pink), Noir (Black), Spring (Green), Topaz (Blue) and Mercury (Silver).

BEST AFFORDABLE DOUBLE STROLLER

Maxi Cosi Dana for 2

The Maxi Cosi Dana Twin Stroller is the best cheap double stroller and super handy for parents because of its slim design and flexibility – it is suitable for twins or children close in age. It folds easily and fits in most car boots, providing a smooth experience for parents.

I believe this is the best inexpensive double stroller because, for its very affordable price, it has rear-wheel suspension, which provides a smooth ride for your little ones, and it is very comfortable and lightweight.

The only downside to this stroller may be that the colour variety is not so large, as it only comes in either Nomad Black or Nomad Blue. I still think that, if you’re on a budget, it’s a great option as both colours are very neutral anyway.
