Guide To Pram Double: The Intermediate Guide To Pram Double

Buying a Convertible Single to Double Stroller

The news that you're expecting your second child is among the most exciting things you can hear. However, preparing your family for the arrival of a new member comes with its own set of challenges.

One of these is selecting the best double pram for your requirements. This article will explain the options available along with some suggestions to help you select 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 an excellent option. These clever frames like the Cybex Aton 4 twin pushchair expand in width to accommodate a second seat. They also have the option of adding a shopping basket, or two carrycots/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 typically offer more configuration and seating options for children and adults than other models of double prams, and have better weight distribution, which means they're often easier to manoeuvre. Pros: Compact, simple to use and versatile. Cons: Less storage space and less space for both children compared to other designs.

Tandem (in-line) double prams

As the name implies, tandem prams have two bassinets or seats which are positioned one over the other. Tandem prams are generally smaller than double prams that are side-by-side. They are also easier to maneuver through doors and public transport. They do not have much storage space and can be difficult to access when both seats are in use especially when your child is sitting in the front.

Some first-time parents opt for tandem strollers to protect their investment in the event that they have children with the same age. Our DUO2 pram is a well-known model. It starts out as an individual buggy, but can be upgraded to a twin stroller simply by adding a second seat. It also converts back into a single pram when your older child is no longer able to use it.

Tandem prams are available 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. Most tandem prams are able to be converted into a travel system by adding an automobile capsule to the top seat.

A side-by-side double stroller lets both children to ride together and talk as they go. This will help avoid them waking each other up or fighting over toys, while the fact they're seated close to one another allows you to easily go through doors and other obstacles with ease.

A side-byside is a great choice for grandparents who want to get involved in the enjoyable. They can push both children and help with shopping, running errands, or attending events. They're usually cheaper than tandem prams, which makes them a great choice for grandparents to help with babysitting.

Single prams

A single pram can only allow for 1 seat or bassinet/carry cot. It is generally suitable from newborn until around. Four years old. A lot of single prams allow a toddler board to be attached to the back, so that another child can stand or sit (depending on the type of toddler board) while you push the stroller forward.

Some first-time parents decide to ensure their pram double (content) is future-proofed by acquiring a double pram option, like our DUO2. This means that you will use the pram 3 in one pushchair single mode when you have just one child and then convert it into a tandem in-line double pram after baby number two is born. This can save you the expense and hassle of having to purchase an additional double pram.

Tandem or in-line double prams are bigger than side-by-side double prams, but they are more maneuverable on busy pedestrian paths and in shops. They can be harder to use while jogging and require more effort to push up and down hills.

Side by side prams are much wider than in-line or tandem double prams. They are a good choice for families with two children of similar age - the children will be able to view and interact with each other from their pushchairs car seats. However, they are less maneuverable and could not pass through doorways that are standard as a tandem stroller.

Non-convertible side-by-side prams are not usable in single mode - you must purchase a different pram or stroller for your youngest child. They have the advantage of being a cheaper option and last longer than double prams that convert, since they aren't designed to be used in single and double modes. The main drawback is that your older child will soon outgrow the side-byside seats and will need to be moved to a toddler's chair which can be expensive.
