Guide To Pram Double: The Intermediate Guide To Pram Double

Buying a Convertible Single to Double Stroller

There are few things more exciting than the news that you're expecting your second child. However the process of preparing your family for this new addition comes with its own set of challenges.

One of them is deciding on the most suitable double pram to meet your requirements. This article will go over the options available and provide some guidelines on how to select the right one for your growing family.

Convertible double prams

A convertible single-to-double stroller is a great choice when you're looking for a pram to expand with your family. These clever frames, such as the Cybex Aton 4 Twin, can be extended in width to accommodate a second seat and typically come with the option of adding an additional shopping basket or two car seat pram seats/car carrycots (pushchair with car seat upper adapters and lower ones available) to allow you to begin your family with just one buggy and then upgrade to twins without having to purchase a new one and again. They typically offer more configuration and seating options for both children than other types of double prams, and have better weight distribution so they're often easier to manoeuvre. They are easy to use, compact strollers and versatile. Cons: Less space and storage for both children as in comparison to other designs.

Tandem (in-line) double prams

The name suggests that tandem prams have two seats or pram bassinets that are aligned one ahead of 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. However they don't offer the same amount of storage space and are more difficult to access when both seats are in use when your child is in the front seat.

Some first-time parents opt for a tandem stroller to protect their investment in case they have more children with the same age. One of the most popular examples is our DUO2 Pram Double, which is designed as a single buggy and can be converted to a twin stroller through the addition of the second seat. It can also be converted back to an individual stroller when your older child is no longer able to use it.

Tandem prams are available in a variety of configurations, including the option for infants to sleep in a pushchair pram bassinet on top while an older child is seated in the seat below. They can also be transformed into a travel system by adding an automobile capsule that is placed on the top of the seat.

A side-by-side double stroller lets the children to ride together and talk as they go. This can help to avoid the two of them from waking up or fighting over toys, while the fact that they're sitting next to each other allows you to easily go through doors and other obstacles easily.

A side-byside is also the ideal choice for grandparents who want to get in on the fun - they can push both kids around and assist with shopping, running errands or attending events. They are often cheaper than tandem prams, which makes them a great choice for grandparents to assist with babysitting.

Single prams

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

Some parents who are first-time parents opt to protect their pram from future damage purchase by purchasing double options such as our DUO2. It can be used in single mode until you have your second child, and then convert it into a tandem double pram when your second baby is born. This will save you the cost and hassle of having to purchase an additional double pram.

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

They are wider than tandem or in-line double prams, but they are a great option if your children are in the same age range. Children can view each one another and interact from their seats. They are more difficult to maneuver than tandem strollers and may not be able to pass through doors as easily.

Non-convertible side-by-side prams cannot be used in single mode. You will need to buy another pram or a stroller to accommodate your children who are younger. They are cheaper and last longer than double strollers that convert since they were not designed to be used both in single and double mode. The main drawback is that your older child will eventually outgrow the side-byside seats and will require to be transferred to a toddler's chair, which can be costly.
