Guide To Pram Double: The Intermediate Guide For 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 you can hear. Preparing your family for the new addition can be challenging.
The choice of the best double foldable stroller is among the most important things to consider. This article will explain the options available and also provide suggestions to help you select the right one for your growing family.
Convertible double prams
A convertible single to double stroller is an excellent choice when you're looking for a pram that can grow with your family. These clever frames, such as the Cybex Aton 4 Twin, expand widthways to accommodate a second seat and will typically have the option for an additional shopping basket or two car seats/car carrycots (with upper adapters and lower ones available) to allow you to begin your family with just one buggy and then upgrade to twins without needing to purchase a new pram and again. They usually have more configurations and seating options for both children than other types of double prams and offer better weight distribution, so they are generally easier to maneuver. Pros: Compact, simple to use and adaptable. Cons: There is less space and storage space for both children and parents when compared to other designs.
Tandem (in-line) double prams
Like the name suggests the term "twin folding pram" refers to two bassinets or two seats that face one another. Tandem prams tend to be more compact than double prams which are side-by-side. They are also more maneuverable through doors and on public transport. They do not have the same amount of storage space and can be difficult to reach when both seats are in use particularly when your child is in the front seat.
Some parents who are first-time parents choose tandem strollers to protect their investment in the event that they have children with the same age. Our DUO2 pram is a popular model. It's initially an individual buggy however, it can be transformed to a twin stroller simply by adding the second seat. It can also be converted back to a single stroller if your older child outgrows the buggy.
Tandem prams are available in a variety of designs and include the option for infants to sleep in a pram bassinet on top, while an older child is seated in the seat below. Many can be transformed into a travel system by adding a car capsule placed in the top seat.
For maximum flexibility, a side-byside double pram double (prev) lets both kids take a ride together and have fun while they travel. This will prevent them from getting up.
A side-byside is the ideal option for grandparents who want to get involved in the activities. They can carry both children around and help with shopping, running errands or attending events. They're usually cheaper than tandem prams, which makes them an excellent choice for grandparents to assist with babysitting.
Single prams
A single pram only allows one seat or bassinet/carry cot. It is generally suitable from newborn until around. Four years old. Many single prams permit toddler boards (depending on the kind of toddler board you select) to be attached to the back so that another child can stand or sit while you push the stroller.
Some first-time parents decide to future-proof their pram by purchasing a double pram option, such as our DUO2. This means that you can use the pram bag in single mode while you have one child, and then switch it into a tandem double pram after baby number two arrives. This can save you the expense and hassle of having to purchase an additional double pram.
Tandem or in-line double prams are a bit wider than side by side double prams, yet they are more maneuverable on footpaths and in shops. They can be harder to use when jogging, and require more effort to push them up and down hills.
They are a bit larger than tandem or in-line double strollers However, they are an excellent choice if your children are in the same age range. Children can see each other and interact from their seats. They are more difficult to maneuver than tandem strollers and may not fit through standard doors as easily.
Side-by-side prams that are not convertible cannot be used in single mode. You'll need to purchase a different pram or stroller for your children who are younger. However, they offer the benefit of being less expensive and will last for longer than double prams that convert, because they aren't built to be used in single and double modes. The main drawback is that your older child may quickly outgrow a side-by-side and need to be moved into a toddler's chair. This can be costly.
