Best double prams in Australia 2025: Expert and Parent approved
When your family starts to grow, you're going to need a set of wheels that can cope with the needs of more than one kid.
Whether you’re pregnant with twins, a second bub, or have a toddler who still needs a seat for those tired little legs and outdoor naps, choosing the best double pram is one of the biggest parenting purchases you’ll make.
But here’s the thing – not all double prams are created equal, and what works for one family, might not work for yours! For example, a family with twins has a totally different set of needs to parents juggling a toddler and newborn. Some parents need a nice compact footprint that can zip through narrow café doors and supermarket isles, while others might just want a smooth ride that can handle unsealed paths and park trails. And then there’s the car boot test… because some prams literally may not fit into your car! No one wants to have to pull their pram apart to get it into the boot with a baby on their hip.
In this guide we’ll walk you through the different types of double prams that are on the market, explain the features that matter the most, and share our expert and parent-approved favourites.
Plus, we take a closer look at the winners of this year’s Kiindred Baby & Toddler Awards – the Stokke YOYO Connect (Expert’s Choice) and the BabyBee Juno (Parent’s Choice) and have a look at all the other finalists you might like to check out.
So whether you’re future-proofing your unborn family, or in the thick of it with two kids already, here’s everything you need to know about finding the right double pram for your family.
Understanding Double Prams: Types and Features
Gone are the days of the oversized and clunky double pram designs of the past. These days, there are so many options out there, there is sure to be something to suit just about every family and lifestyle. Here’s a quick breakdown of the most common ones that you’ll come across:
- Full-Sized Side-by-Side Double Prams: Two equal seats next to each other. Great for twins or siblings who like equal treatment, but can feel a bit wide for doorways and tight spaces. Also, not ideal if you have a jealous older sibling who might like to take a sneaky swing at a new baby brother or sister.
- Compact Side-by-Side Prams: Slimmed-down, or lightweight versions of the above. They’re better for easy storage and for pushing around the city, but often less roomy for bigger toddlers, so can feel more like a ‘part time’ stroller option.
- In-Line (Tandem) Double Prams: One seat in front of the other. These have a smaller footprint and often multiple seating configurations, making them brilliant for two children of different ages. Sometimes the main seat is larger to accommodate an older kid.
- Stacked In-Line Prams: A variation on tandems where one seat is higher, so both kids get a good view. Great visibility, but sometimes it can mean there isn’t much space for nappy bags underneath the seats.
- All-Terrain Double Prams: Perfect for adventurous families, or if you live in an area with unsealed walkways. Big wheels, strong suspension, and the ability to handle gravel paths and grassy parks with ease. Usually heavier, but that’s totally worth it if you love the outdoors.

Understanding Double Prams: Types and Features
Double prams have come a long way from the clunky, oversized designs of the past. These days, there’s a style to suit just about every lifestyle. Here’s a quick breakdown of the most common types you’ll come across:
- Full-Sized Side-by-Side Double Prams — Two equal seats next to each other. Great for twins or siblings who like equal treatment, but can feel a bit wide for doorways and tight spaces.
- Compact Side-by-Side Prams — Slimmed-down versions of the above. Easier to store and push in the city, but often less roomy for bigger toddlers.
- In-Line (Tandem) Double Prams — One seat in front of the other. These have a more compact footprint and often multiple seating configurations, making them brilliant for siblings of different ages.
- Stacked In-Line Prams — A variation on tandems where one seat is higher, so both kids get a good view. Great visibility, but sometimes less basket access.
- All-Terrain Double Prams — For adventurous families. Big wheels, strong suspension, and the ability to handle gravel paths and grassy parks with ease. Usually heavier, but worth it if you love the outdoors.
Now let’s look at each category in more detail… with our top product picks woven in.
Full-Sized Side-by-Side Double Prams
Side-by-sides are the classic choice for families with twins or two kids close in age. Both children get the same seat, same view, and no sibling arguments over who has the “better spot.”
Why parents love them: spacious seats with independent recline, comfy for naps, and often huge baskets for all your essentials.
Things to consider: the width can be tricky for narrow shop aisles or apartment lifts, and folding them down can be a workout if you’re in a rush.
While none of our featured award-winners is a traditional side-by-side, it’s worth keeping this style in mind if you’re shopping for twins. If you like the idea of equal seating but need something slimmer, keep reading… there are some clever in-line doubles that give you the best of both worlds.
Compact Side-by-Side Double Prams
Compact side-by-sides take the bulk out of traditional doubles. These are perfect if you live in the city, use public transport often, or have a small car boot.
Why parents love them: slimmer designs mean you can still squeeze through tight café doors, and many fold quickly for storage.
Things to consider: with the slimmer frame, you often lose some seat width and basket space. So if you’ve got tall toddlers or love to shop with the pram basket as your trolley — think twice.
Again, none of our award picks falls strictly into this category — but if space is your biggest concern, the Stokke YOYO Connect (coming up next) is a brilliant alternative that gives you tandem seating with a super compact footprint.
In-Line (or Tandem) Double Prams
Here’s where things get interesting. In-line (tandem) prams are a lifesaver for parents who need two seats but don’t want the extra width of a side-by-side. With one seat in front of the other, you can glide through narrow aisles, hop on buses, and fit more easily into apartment lifts.
Kiindred Baby & Toddler Award Expert’s Choice for Best Double Pram: The Stokke YOYO Connect
The Stokke YOYO Connect takes the classic tandem concept and makes it genius. Instead of buying a whole new double pram, you simply attach the Connect frame to the back of your existing YOYO stroller. In one click, you’ve gone from single to double mode!
It’s ultra-light and seriously easy to manoeuvre, even with two kids on board. Parents love that it folds down neatly, and when you don’t need it, the Connect clips onto the back of the main stroller for storage. Oh, and it’s the first double stroller accepted as cabin luggage* – so if you’re a travelling family, this is a total game-changer.
Why it’s a winner: compact, stylish, flexible, and perfect for families with small cars, city lifestyles, or frequent flyers.

Kiindred Baby & Toddler Award Parent’s Choice for Best Double Pram: BabyBee Juno
The BabyBee Juno is hands-down one of the most versatile double prams out there. It starts as a single, then adapts into a double (and even triple with a toddler board). With 48+ configurations, you can set it up for twins, siblings of different ages, or a newborn and toddler combo – and even place the bassinet on top so your newborn is closer to you.
Parents rave about the huge 15kg basket (perfect for shopping or daycare bags), the tallest seats in its class, and how easy it is to fold with one hand. Plus, it comes with up to $250 worth of accessories included, so you don’t get stung buying extras.
Why it’s loved: maximum flexibility, smooth ride, and brilliant value for money. If you’re planning for more than one child, this is the pram that will grow with your family.
Stacked In-Line Double Prams
Stacked tandems solve one of the biggest gripes with regular in-lines – the “lower deck” seat. By lifting one seat higher, both kids get a proper view of the world (and you get less whingeing from the back).
Why parents love them: they keep a slim footprint while still feeling roomy for both kids.
Things to consider: sometimes the stacked design makes it harder to access the basket underneath.
Edwards & Co Olive – Runner up in the Kiindred Baby & Toddler Awards
The Edwards & Co Olive is a brilliant example of a stacked tandem that doesn’t feel bulky. It keeps the same slim footprint whether you’re in single or double mode, so you don’t suddenly find yourself stuck in a shop doorway. Both seats are full-sized, suitable up to 22kg each, and with the newborn insert, you can use it from day one.
It folds down super compact (a win for small cars), steers like a dream with one hand, and still manages to fit in a 10kg basket for all your gear. Parents also love the sleek, modern look… it’s definitely one of the more stylish doubles on the market.
All-Terrain Double Prams
If your family spends more time in the park or on trails than in shopping centres, an all-terrain double pram is worth a look. With big wheels, strong suspension, and puncture-proof tyres, they make for a smooth ride no matter where you go.
Why parents love them: freedom to walk wherever you like, without worrying about bumps or gravel paths waking the baby.
Things to consider: they’re usually heavier and bulkier, so not the easiest if you’re constantly lifting it in and out of a small car.
Love N Care Neo – Runner up in the Kiindred Baby & Toddler Awards
The Love N Care Neo is the Swiss army knife of double prams. It’s not just a single-to-double… it can even convert into a wagon setup for bigger kids. With 23 configurations, you can adapt it for twins, a toddler and newborn, or just one child on a day you don’t need the extra seat.
It’s got large wheels with suspension to handle uneven paths, and it still folds down compactly for storage. Parents also love the included extras (like a rain cover and bumper bar), which make it great value.
Key Considerations When Choosing a Double Pram
Before you decide, here are the things parents say make the biggest difference day-to-day:
- Ease of fold – Can you fold it one-handed while holding a baby? Does it stand on its own for storage?
- Size & footprint – Will it fit through your front door, or into your car boot?
- Steering – Try pushing it fully loaded with two kids. Suspension and wheel size can make or break the experience.
- Seat options – Do you need bassinet compatibility, car seat adaptors, or a second seat that reclines fully for naps?
- Storage space – Look at the basket capacity and how easy it is to access when in double mode.
- Weight limits – Check the max weight per seat so your older child isn’t outgrowing it too soon.
- Future-proofing – Can it switch between single and double mode as your family grows?
- Accessories – Are rain covers, cup holders, or footrests included, or will you need to fork out more?
Safety Features and Cleaning Tips
When it comes to safety, all prams sold in Australia meet strict standards… but here’s what to double-check:
- 5-point harnesses for both seats.
- Reliable brakes and swivel-lock front wheels.
- Recline or lie-flat options for newborns (or a bassinet).
- UPF50+ canopies and optional rain covers for Aussie weather.
And because kids = mess, here are some cleaning hacks:
- Spot clean with a damp cloth and mild soap.
- Wash removable fabrics when needed (always check the care label).
- Give the wheels and brakes a once-over every month.
- Store your pram inside when possible to keep fabrics and materials in top condition.
Wrapping Up
Finding the best double pram isn’t just about features… it’s about making your life easier. If you want a compact, travel-friendly tandem, the Stokke YOYO Connect (Expert’s Choice) is hard to beat. If you need maximum flexibility for a growing family, the BabyBee Juno (Parent’s Choice) ticks all the boxes with its endless configurations and value-packed inclusions.
