Guide To Pram Double: The Intermediate Guide On 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 the process of preparing your family for this new addition has its own set of difficulties.
Selecting the best double pram Double is among the most important things to consider. This article will go over the various options available and offer some suggestions on how to choose the right one for your growing family.
Convertible double prams
A convertible single to double stroller is an excellent choice for those who want a stroller that can grow with your family. These clever frames, like the Cybex Aton 4 Twin expand in width to accommodate a second seat. They also offer the option of adding a shopping basket, or two car seats/carseats (with upper and lower adapters). This allows you to start your family out with a single buggy and then upgrade when you have twins. They usually offer more configuration and seating options for children and adults than other models of double prams and will have better weight distribution so they're generally easier to maneuver. Pros: Compact, easy to use and adaptable. Cons: It takes up less space and storage for both children as when compared to other designs.
Tandem (in-line) double prams
As the name suggests tandem prams have two seats or bassinets that face each other. Tandem prams are typically smaller than side by side double prams, and are easier to manoeuvre through doors and on public transport. They do not have the same amount of storage space and are difficult to reach when both seats are in use especially if your child is sitting in the front.
Many first-time parents opt for a tandem stroller in order to safeguard their investment should they have more children of the same age. One of the most popular examples is our DUO2 pram, which is designed as a single stroller and can be upgraded to a twin stroller with the addition of the second seat. It also converts back into one pram once your child's older one outgrows it.
Tandem prams come in a range of configurations, including the option for infants to be placed in a bassinet for the pram on top, while an older child is seated in the seat below. Most tandem prams can be made a travel system by adding a car capsule in the top seat.
A double stroller that is side-by-side allows both children to share a ride and converse as they go. This will help avoid them waking each other up or fighting over toys, and the fact that they're sitting near to one another means you can easily get through doors and other obstacles with ease.
A side-byside is the ideal option for grandparents looking to participate in the activities. They can carry both children around and assist with shopping, running errands, or even attending events. They're usually less expensive than a tandem pram which makes them a great way to introduce grandkids to babysitting duties.
Single prams
A single pram is only able to allow one seat or a bassinet/carry cot - it is usually suitable from birth until around. 4 years old. A lot of single prams allow toddler boards (depending on the kind of toddler board you choose) to be tacked 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 future-proof the pram they purchase by buying a double option, such as our DUO2. It can be used in a single mode until you have a second child and then convert it into a tandem double pram once the second baby is born. This will eliminate the hassle and cost of purchasing a separate double stroller.
Tandem or in-line double prams are a bit wider than side by side double prams but are still easier to maneuver on crowded footpaths and in shops. They can be difficult to use while jogging and require more effort to push them up and down hills.
They are wider than tandem or in-line double strollers, but they are an excellent choice for children who are in the same age range. Children can see each other and interact from their seats. However, they are not as maneuverable and could not pass through doorways that are standard as a tandem stroller.
Side-by-side prams that are not convertible cannot be used in single mode. You'll need to purchase a different pram or a stroller to accommodate your children's younger ones. They offer the benefit of being a cheaper option and will last for longer than convertible double prams, because they aren't built to be used in both single and double modes. The main disadvantage is that your child could quickly outgrow a side-by-side and require a change to a toddler's seat. This could be costly.
