Guide To Pram Double: The Intermediate Guide In Pram Double

Buying a Convertible Single to Double Stroller

The news that you're expecting your second child is one of the most exciting things to hear. But getting your family ready for this new addition has its own set of challenges.

The choice of the best double stroller is one of the most important things to consider. This article will discuss the options available along with some tips to help you choose the best pram for your growing family.

Convertible double prams

If you're looking to purchase a stroller that will grow with your family, a convertible single to double pram is a great option. These clever frames, such as the Cybex Aton 4 Twin, expand widthways to accommodate a second seat. They will typically have the option of adding an additional shopping basket, or two car seats/car carrycots (with upper adapters and lower adapters readily available) so that you can start your family with one buggy, and later upgrade to twins without having to purchase a new one again. They typically offer more configuration and seating options for both children than other styles of double prams too and have better weight distribution so they're generally easier to maneuver. They are compact, easy to use and adaptable. Cons: Less storage and less space for both children when compared to other designs.

Tandem (in-line) double prams

As the name implies the term "twin pram" refers to two bassinets or two seats that face each other. Tandem prams are typically smaller than side by side double prams, and are more maneuverable through doors and on public transport. They don't have the same amount of storage space and are difficult to access when both seats are being used particularly if your child is sitting in the front.

Many first-time parents opt for a tandem stroller in order to safeguard their investment in case they have children of the same age. A popular example is our DUO2 pram, which is designed as a single stroller and can be converted to a twin stroller by the addition of a second seat. It is also possible to convert it back to a single stroller when your older child outgrows the buggy.

Tandem prams are available in a variety of configurations. For example, an infant can be placed in a bassinet that is located at the top of the pram, while an older child is seated on the seat below. They can also be converted into a travel system by adding an automobile capsule that is placed on the top of the seat.

A double stroller that is side-by-side allows both children to ride together and talk as they go. This will help avoid getting up or fighting over toys, and the fact they're seated next to each other means you can easily get through doors and other obstacles with ease.

A side-by-side can be the perfect choice for grandparents who want to join in the fun - they can both push the kids around, and help with shopping, running errands or attending events. They're usually cheaper than a tandem stroller, so they can be ideal for introducing grandchildren to babysitting.

Single prams

A single pram is only able to accommodate one seat or a bassinet/carry-cot. It is suitable for newborns up to approximately 4 years of age. Four years old. A lot of single prams allow toddler boards (depending on the kind of toddler board you pick) to be attached at the back so that another child can stand, or sit, while you push the stroller.

Some parents who are new to the family decide to secure their pram for the future purchase by purchasing double options like our DUO2. This means that you can use the pram in single mode while you have one child and then convert it into a tandem in-line double Pram double when baby number two arrives. This will save you the hassle and cost of buying an additional double stroller.

In-line or tandem double prams may be a bit larger than side-by-side double prams, however they are still a lot easier to manoeuvre on busy footpaths and inside shops. They are more difficult to use while jogging and require more effort to push up and down hills.

Side by side prams are larger than tandem or in-line double prams, but they are a good prams option if you plan to have 2 children close in age. The children will be able to see and interact with one another from their seats. They are less maneuverable than tandem strollers, and may not pass through standard doors as easily.

Side-by-side prams that are not convertible cannot be used in single mode. You'll have to buy another pram or a stroller for your children's younger ones. They have the advantage of being a cheaper option and last longer than convertible double prams, because they aren't built to be used in single and double modes. The main drawback is that your older child could soon outgrow a side-byside and require a change into a toddler seat. This can be expensive.
