Welcome
Welcome to the 2010 Australian Twin Pram Buying Guide,
a resource we put together every year to save parents the many hours
of time they would usually spend trying to find the right twin pram.
By compiling a comprehensive list of the main twin prams on the
market, we have cut short the time you need to spend researching
the dimensions and prices of each model.
This year, we say hello to 5 new models of pram:
• Silver Cross Pop Duo
• Zoom by ABC-Design
• iCandy Pear
• Valco Doubletake Tandem
• Valco Trimode Twin EX
We have also introduced a ‘Quickfinder’ section at the front of the guide, which ranks each model
according to width, weight, number of seats and the ability to upgrade in the future should you
have another baby down the track. This should help make developing a shortlist of twin pram
models quicker and easier.
The Australian Twin Pram Buying Guide is put together independently by Think Twins, but this
year we would like to say thank you to Silver Cross, the only manufacturer to sponsor the guide.
Without their help this resource would not have been possible. With around 5,000 downloads
per week, we know the guide is a popular tool relied on by many parents wishing to find the right
pram for their family.
Kind Regards,
Martine Pekarsky

Twin prams: Listed by weight of the pram (not of the extra attachments)
Please note that it is difficult to compare prams by weight, given that some prams need to be disassembled before putting in the car. We have tried to use the weights of the largest item, but it might not be entirely accurate so please do not rely on this list to make your
final choice. You should check the weights again once you have assembled your shortlist.
