Ten prams that carry two children, ranked. Every one was assessed on specification against five published criteria: single-to-double convertibility, folded footprint, push and manoeuvrability, build and materials, and Australian parts and service. Nothing here has been handled, and no post on this site will pretend otherwise until it has been.
Two kinds of pram compete for the same money. One is a single that takes a second seat later. The other arrives as a double and stays one. Read the convertibility sub-score with that in mind, because it is the number that separates them.

Prices are as at 30 July 2026, lowest listed Australian retail.
1. UPPAbaby Vista V3 Pram + Bassinet
$1,499. Bench Score 9.0. Best overall.
The Vista V3 tops this table without being a double pram in the box, which tells you how much of the category is really about headroom. The bassinet is included at $1,499, the basket is rated to 13.6 kg, the fold is one step and stands on its own, and the frame takes up to three children once you add the RumbleSeat and PiggyBack accessories.
Sub-scores: conversion 9.5, footprint 9.0, push 9.0, build 9.5, AU service 7.5. All-wheel suspension and the full-size reversible toddler seat carry the middle figures.
For. Joint-best here on build and versatility, with a bassinet already in the price and a fold that stands unaided. Against. You are buying a single. The second seat is an accessory, and the factory double package is listed at $1,899, which puts it above all five of the dedicated doubles below. Parts and service score 7.5, mid-pack.
2. Bugaboo Donkey 6 Single Bassinet and Seat Pram
$1,999. Bench Score 8.7. Best convertible.
The Donkey 6 does the single-to-double trick better than anything else assessed. Three clicks either way, 60 cm across in single mode, a 15 kg underseat basket and a frame built from 60% recycled aluminium. Bugaboo lists over 20 configurations across three children once a car seat and wheeled board are added.
Sub-scores: conversion 9.5, footprint 7.5, push 9.0, build 9.5, AU service 7.5. The 7.5 on footprint is the price of side-by-side geometry, and you will notice it in a hallway first.
For. Level with the Vista on build and conversion, and the widest configuration range in the field. Against. It is $500 dearer than the Vista V3 and scores lower. Going up from here gets expensive quickly: the Donkey 6 double package is listed at $2,499 and the twin at $2,749.
3. Bugaboo Donkey 5 Pram Complete
$1,399. Bench Score 8.3.
The outgoing Donkey is the value play inside the Bugaboo range. Bassinet and toddler seat fabrics are both included at $1,399, the mono-to-duo conversion is the same three clicks with the extra components fitted, and the all-terrain puncture-proof wheels and self-standing one-piece fold carry over. Suitable from birth to 22 kg.
Sub-scores: conversion 9.0, footprint 7.5, push 8.5, build 8.5, AU service 7.5. Half a point behind the Donkey 6 on the running gear and a full point on the frame, $600 in front on price.
For. Most of the Donkey 6 package for $600 less, with the bassinet already in the box. Against. The duo conversion needs components that are not supplied, so the honest comparison is against the Donkey 5 Duo at $1,769 rather than the $1,399 headline. The 10 kg basket is a third smaller than the Donkey 6.
4. Bugaboo Donkey 5 Twin Pram
$1,889. Bench Score 8.2. Best for twins.
If both children are the same age, this is the package the rest of the field cannot match on paper. Two bassinets and two reversible seats are included from birth, each seat is rated to 22 kg, and Bugaboo states it fits through most standard doorways in twin configuration.
Sub-scores: conversion 9.0, footprint 7.0, push 8.5, build 8.5, AU service 7.5. That 7.0 is the lowest footprint figure of anything in the top five, which is what happens when you fold two bassinets’ worth of pram into one boot.
For. Twin-ready from birth with no accessory list, at a price no other twin package here gets near. Against. The folded package is the bulkiest scored here, and adding capsules pushes it a long way up. The twin plus capsule bundle is listed at $3,119.
5. Mountain Buggy Duet V4 Double Pram
$1,259. Bench Score 8.2. Best double.
The Duet holds the double award because it was designed as one. It is a side-by-side on the same wheelbase width as a single buggy, on air-filled tyres, with a 6060 T52 aircraft-grade aluminium frame and a one-hand standing fold. Seats are newborn-to-upright fabric slings with a recline mechanism.
Sub-scores: conversion 8.0, footprint 7.5, push 9.0, build 8.5, AU service 8.0. Nothing in the doubles group pushes better for the money, and only Thule pushes better at all.
For. Single-buggy width with genuine all-terrain running gear, several hundred dollars under the Thule and Bugaboo doubles. Against. Conversion scores 8.0, the lowest in the top five, because it does not do the one-child trick the Bugaboos and the Vista do. Sling seats rather than a bassinet, and the published spec does not list a bassinet in the box.
6. Babybee Juno, Mocha
$1,699.99. Bench Score 8.2.
The Juno is the configuration monster of the group. Babybee lists 48-plus setups across bassinet, seat, capsule, toddler board and shopper basket, covering one to three children, on an aeronautical-grade aluminium frame with a one-hand free-standing fold and a 15 kg basket. The lifetime warranty from an Australian company is the standout term here. The listing also carries a Mum Central 2026 award, which is Babybee’s claim rather than ours.
Sub-scores: conversion 9.0, footprint 8.0, push 7.5, build 8.0, AU service 8.5. The 7.5 is a data problem as much as an engineering one: wheel and suspension detail is thin on the published spec.
For. The best fold-and-conversion combination outside the top two, with warranty and service terms nothing European here matches. Against. You cannot verify the running gear from what is published. The $1,699.99 price is the single configuration; the Juno double is listed at $1,998.99 and the twin at $2,149.99.
7. Babyhood Doppio Plus Stroller
$1,499. Bench Score 8.1. Hot Product of the Month.
The Doppio Plus starts as a 62 cm-wide single and converts into a 62 cm-wide inline double or twin across 18 published modes. Babyhood now lists an 8.7 kg frame, 3.5 kg seats, a 62 × 80 × 51 cm single-seat fold, foam-core rubber wheels and independent suspension. Those figures lift fold and footprint to 8.0 and push and wheels to 7.5.
Sub-scores: conversion 8.5, footprint 8.0, push 7.5, build 7.5, AU service 9.0. That service score remains the highest in the field.
For. From-birth 22 kg seats, a narrow inline double, a measured fold and excellent local parts access. Against. The $1,999 double packages exclude the required $129.95 adaptor, the basket has no published capacity, and a dedicated double still gives you more pram for less.
8. Thule Urban Glide 3 Double Stroller Black
$1,599. Bench Score 7.8.
Buy this one for the running gear. The 16 inch air-filled tyres, suspension and independent reclining seats give it a 9.5 on push and wheels, the highest push figure in the pram field, matched only by its single-stroller sibling. Combined capacity is 44 kg.
Sub-scores: conversion 6.5, footprint 7.5, push 9.5, build 8.5, AU service 7.0. The 6.5 is the honest cost of a purpose-built all-terrain double.
For. The best chassis on paper in this roundup, on the largest wheels here. The single version is assessed separately in the Urban Glide 3 review. Against. Seats are rated from 6 months, so a newborn needs the bassinet or capsule adapters, which are sold separately. The bassinet bundle is listed at $1,999. Parts and service score 7.0, the lowest of the ten.
9. UPPAbaby Minu Duo Stroller
$1,149. Bench Score 7.8.
The compact answer. A from-birth side-by-side rated to 22.7 kg that fits a 73 cm doorway, with a one-hand, one-step fold, a locking latch and a crossbar carry handle. On the published dimensions it is the smallest genuine double in the roundup.
Sub-scores: conversion 8.0, footprint 8.5, push 7.0, build 8.0, AU service 7.5. That 8.5 is the best footprint figure of any dedicated double assessed.
For. Doorways, lifts and small boots, at four figures rather than the two thousand the Bugaboo doubles want. Against. Push and wheels score 7.0, well behind the Thule and the Duet. It is an urban pram, and the spec does not pretend to be more than that.
10. Valco Baby Snap Ultra Duo Stroller
$769. Bench Score 7.4.
The cheapest double here by $380, from an Australian brand, and newborn-suitable out of the box. Seats are removable and reversible, so both children can face you or face out independently. Travel system compatible, with shock-absorbing suspension and a full recline.
Sub-scores: conversion 8.0, footprint 7.0, push 7.0, build 6.5, AU service 8.5. The 6.5 on build is the lowest of the ten and the reason it finishes here rather than mid-table.
For. A newborn-ready side-by-side for $769, undercutting every other double assessed. Against. Build and materials 6.5. You are buying configuration and price, not longevity, and the gap to the Duet at $1,259 is visible in that number.
How we scored
Five criteria, published, per category. Single-to-double convertibility covers how many children the frame carries and what it costs in parts and time to get there. Folded footprint covers packed size and whether the fold stands. Push and manoeuvrability covers wheels, tyres, suspension and steering. Build and materials covers frame, fabrics and fittings. Australian parts and service covers local distribution, warranty terms and how easily you get a replacement part in year three.
Every sub-score is published so you can re-weight the five for your own use. If you live at the top of stairs, footprint is your ranking. If you walk gravel, push is. The overall Bench Score is the composite, and it stays identical for a given product across every post here.
Scores are assessed on specification, dated 30 July 2026, from manufacturer figures and Australian retail listings rather than hands-on use. Where a maker does not publish a figure, the relevant sub-score reflects that absence, because an unpublished fold dimension is a real problem for someone buying online.
Buyer’s notes
Measure the doorway before you shortlist. Side-by-side doubles live or die on width, and the published figures are the only ones worth trusting: 60 cm for the Donkey 6 in single mode, 73 cm for the Minu Duo, and a single-buggy wheelbase for the Duet V4. Bugaboo says the Donkey 5 Twin fits most standard doorways, which is a claim about most doorways rather than yours. No amount of push quality fixes a pram you have to turn sideways.
Price the second seat, not the pram. Five of the ten are singles that convert, and the headline is a one-child price. The Vista V3 at $1,499 becomes $1,899 as a factory double, the Donkey 5 Complete at $1,399 becomes $1,769 as the Duo, the Juno at $1,699.99 becomes $1,998.99, and the Doppio Plus at $1,499 becomes $2,128.95 once the required adaptor is added to the $1,999 double package. Work out which configuration you will run by month six, then compare those against the Duet V4 at $1,259 and the Snap Ultra Duo at $769.
Newborn readiness is the other hidden cost. The Donkey 5 Twin includes two bassinets and the Vista V3 includes one. The Snap Ultra Duo and the Minu Duo are newborn-suitable as sold. The Thule Urban Glide 3 Double is not: seats are rated from 6 months, and the bassinet bundle is listed at $1,999 against $1,599 for the stroller alone. That $400 belongs in your comparison from the start.
Look hard at the service column. It is the sub-score buyers ignore and then care about more than any other. The spread here runs from 9.0 down to 7.0, and the top of it is Australian: Babyhood at 9.0, Babybee and Valco Baby at 8.5, Mountain Buggy at 8.0. The European premium brands all sit at 7.5 or below on this measure despite leading on build. A wheel or a fabric set you can order locally in two years does not appear anywhere on a showroom floor.
One to avoid. The Rever Bebe Horizon Single To Double offers two bassinet seats and a single-to-double conversion for $799, and scores 5.9, the lowest in the pram field. Its 300D fabric, non-directional front wheels and 20 kg seat limit put it behind everything ranked above. Configuration count is not the same as capability.
Assessed on specification, 30 July 2026. Prices are lowest listed Australian retail at that date and move often. Babyhood and its distributed brand Kaylula are clients of this site’s publisher, Xpand Digital; scores are set from the same published criteria as every other product assessed and are not adjusted for that relationship.
