Guide To Pram Double: The Intermediate Guide To Pram Double

Buying a Convertible Single to Double Stroller

There aren't many things more exciting than hearing that you're expecting your second child. However, preparing your family for this new addition comes with its own set of challenges.

The best double pram is among the most important things to consider. This article will go over the options available and provide some guidelines on how to select the best pram for your growing family.

Convertible double prams

If you're looking to purchase a stroller that can grow with your family, a convertible single double pram is a great alternative. These clever frames, like the Cybex Aton 4 Twin, expand widthways to accommodate a second seat and typically come with the option for an additional shopping basket or two car seats or carrycots (with upper adapters and lower ones available) to allow you to begin your family with just one buggy and later upgrade to twins without having to purchase a new one and again. These double prams offer more seating and configuration options for both children when compared to other styles. They also offer better weight distribution which makes them more maneuverable. They are compact, easy to use, and versatile. Cons: There is less space and storage space for both children in comparison to other designs.

Tandem (in-line) double prams

As the name suggests, tandem prams come with two bassinets or seats that are positioned one ahead of the other. Tandem prams are generally smaller than double prams that are side-by-side. They can also be easier to maneuver through doorways and in public transport. However, they don't have the same amount of storage space and may be more difficult to access when both seats are in use when your child is in the front seat.

Some first-time parents choose a tandem pram to secure their investment, especially if they're planning on more children close in age. Our DUO2 pram is a popular model. It's designed as a single buggy however, it can be transformed to a twin stroller travel simply by adding the second seat. It can also be converted back to an individual stroller when your elder child outgrows it.

Tandem prams come in a range of configurations, including the option for infants to be placed in a bassinet of the pram on top, while an older child sits in the seat below. Many can be transformed into a pushchair travel system unit with the addition of a car capsule placed in the top seat.

A double stroller that is side-by-side allows both children to share a ride and talk as they go. This can help to avoid getting up or fighting over toys, while the fact that they're seated near to one another allows you to easily go through doors and other obstacles easily.

A side-byside is a great option for grandparents looking to be part of the enjoyable. They can push both children around and help with shopping, running errands or attending events. They are usually less expensive than tandem prams, which makes them a great option for grandparents to help with babysitting.

Single prams

A single pram only allows for 1 seat or bassinet/carry cot - it is typically suitable from newborn through to approx. 4 years of age. Many single prams allow a toddler board (depending on which type of toddler board you choose) to be attached to the back so that a child can stand or sit while you push the stroller.

Some parents who are first-time parents opt to ensure their pram is future-proofed by purchasing a double pram double (news) option, such as our DUO2. You can use it in single mode until you have a second child and then change it to a tandem inline double pram with car seat when the second baby is born. This will eliminate the hassle and cost of purchasing a separate double stroller.

3 in one pushchair-line or tandem double prams can be a bit larger than side-by-side double prams, however, they are still much easier to manoeuvre on busy sidewalks and inside shops. However, they can be more difficult to use while running and will require more effort to push when you're going up or down hills.

They are wider than tandem or in-line double prams However, they are a great option if your children are close in age. The children can see each other and interact from their seats. However, they are less maneuverable and could not pass through standard doorways as easily as tandem strollers.

Side-by-side prams that are not convertible cannot be used in single mode. You will need to purchase a different pram or a stroller to accommodate your children who are younger. They are cheaper and last longer than convertible double strollers since they were not intended to be used in single and double mode. The main drawback is that your child will quickly outgrow the side-byside seats and will require to be moved to a toddler's seat which can be expensive.
