Guide To Pram Double: The Intermediate Guide Towards Pram Double

Buying a Convertible Single to Double Stroller

The news that you are expecting your second child is among the most exciting things you can hear. The preparation for your family's new baby can be a challenge.

One of them is choosing the best double pram for your requirements. This article will discuss the different options available and also provide suggestions to help you select the right pram for your growing family.

Convertible double prams

If you're looking for a pram that can grow with your family, a convertible single double pram is a great option. These innovative frames, such as the Cybex Aton 4 Twin, expand widthways to accommodate a second child and typically come with the option of adding 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 the need to purchase a new pram again. They usually offer more configuration and seating options for children and adults than other models of double prams, and will offer better weight distribution, so they're generally easier to maneuver. Pros: Simple to use, compact stroller and versatile. Cons: There is less space and storage for both children and parents compared to other designs.

Tandem (in-line) double prams

As the name suggests, tandem prams have two seats or pram bassinets that are positioned one ahead of the other. Tandem prams are generally narrower than side-by-side double prams and can be more maneuverable through doors and on public transport. However they don't offer as much storage space and can be more difficult to access when both seats are used in the case of a toddler who is in the front seat.

Some first-time parents choose a tandem pram to future-proof their investment, particularly in the case of children that are similar in age. A popular example is our DUO2 pram that is initially designed as a single buggy, but can be converted to a twin pushchair stroller through the addition of the second seat. It can also be converted back to a single pram when your elder child outgrows it.

Tandem prams come in a range of configurations and include the option for infants to be placed in a pram bassinet on top while an older child sits in the seat below. The majority of tandem prams can be converted to an a travel system by putting an automobile capsule to the top seat.

For the ultimate flexibility, a double side-by-side pram lets both children enjoy the ride together and play as they go. This will stop them from waking eachother up.

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

Single prams

A single pram only allows one seat or bassinet/carry cot - it is usually suitable from birth until around. Four years old. Many single prams also allow a toddler's board to be connected to the back so that the second child can stand or sit (depending on the kind of toddler board) while you push the stroller through.

Some parents who are first-time parents opt to future-proof their pram for newborn by purchasing a double pram option, like our DUO2. This means that you can use the pram in a single mode when you have just one child, and then change it into a tandem double pram once bub number two arrives. This will save you the cost and burden of having to purchase an additional double pram.

Tandem or in-line double prams are bigger than side-by-side double prams, yet they are easier to maneuver on crowded footpaths and in shops. However, they are more difficult to use when running and will require more effort to push when going up or down hills.

Side by side prams are much wider than in-line or tandem double prams, but they are a good choice if you plan to have two children of similar age. They can see and interact with one another from their 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 suitable for use in single mode - you will need to purchase another pram pushchair or stroller for your youngest child. They offer the benefit of being a cheaper option and last longer than convertible double prams, since they aren't designed to be used in single and double modes. The main drawback is that your child might soon outgrow a side-byside and require to be shifted into a toddler's chair. This can be costly.
