What's the difference between double and twin pushchairs?
Double pushchairs are for when you already have one child and another baby is on the way. Twin pushchairs are built from scratch for two babies at once. With double pushchairs and prams, you add a second seat to the pushchair you already own, which saves money compared to buying a whole new pushchair.
The clever thing about double pushchairs is that your older child gets the main seat while your baby uses the additional attachment. This setup works well because your curious toddler can see everything, while your newborn stays secure and comfortable in their own space.
Best double pushchair system for UK families
Discover the Joolz Geo³ double: the only pushchair in our range that converts to a double pushchair. Your existing Geo already includes the second seat, you just need the double set to activate it. Your older child sits in the main seat while your baby goes in the lower carrycot position.
This double pushchair works because the Geo³ frame is engineered to handle two children safely. The front-and-back configuration keeps the width manageable for British doorways and pavements, unlike side-by-side double pushchairs that won't fit through standard doors.
Why this double pushchair works for British families
Families across Britain choose our double pushchairs and prams because they solve the spacing problem without breaking the bank. Instead of buying new pushchairs when your family expands, you convert what you already have. This saves money and helps the environment too.
This double pushchair handles typical British situations well. It fits through shop doorways, works on public transport, and stores in normal-sized homes. The narrow profile means you're not constantly apologising for blocking pavements or struggling through tight spaces.
How double pushchairs actually work
Converting your pushchair to a double pushchair is straightforward with the Geo³ system. The double set includes adapters, an extra sun canopy, and safety accessories. Your toddler uses the regular seat while your baby lies flat in the lower carrycot position.
You can switch the configuration too: the upper position can face forwards or backwards depending on what your children prefer. This flexibility makes double pushchairs work for different ages and stages as your family grows.
Key features in quality double pushchairs
Two kids means proper safety matters even more. Your brakes need to actually stop the thing on that hill near the park. Those car seat clips? They'd better not pop off halfway through Sainsbury's.
This isn't a single pushchair with an extra seat bolted on - it needs to be designed for two from day one. Otherwise you'll be fighting it round every corner while your toddler's kicking off and the baby's screaming. Nobody needs a wonky pushchair tipping backwards at the school gates. Or their back going because the weight's all wrong.
Complete double pushchairs setup
Ready to equip your double pushchair for the chaos of two children? The 3-in-1 double pushchair set has everything you need in one purchase: pushchair frame, carrycot, seat, and a Maxi-Cosi car seat that works with it. Perfect for when you're juggling school runs with a toddler and baby appointments.
Weather protection becomes more important when you've got two children to keep dry. Rain covers for both positions, sun canopies for each child, and foot muffs for winter nursery runs. Everything fits together properly because it's all designed to work as one system.
Built for growing families
Every double pushchair includes our 10-year transferable warranty covering both the original pushchair and the double conversion kit. These systems are built to handle the extra wear that comes with two children. When your family outgrows the double pushchair, you can pass it on to another expanding family.
We design double pushchairs with sustainability in mind. Rather than buying completely new pushchairs when your family grows, you expand what you already have. Less waste, more value, better for the planet your children will inherit.
