Guide To Pram Double: The Intermediate Guide To Pram Double

Buying a Convertible Single to Double foldable stroller

The news that you're 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 deciding on the right double pram for your needs. This article will explain what options are available and also provide tips to help you choose the right pram for your growing family.

Convertible double prams

A convertible single to double stroller is a great choice for those who want a stroller to grow with your family. These clever frames, like the Cybex Aton 4 Twin expand in width to accommodate a second seat. They also come with the option of adding a shopping basket, or two carrycots/carseats (with upper and lower adapters). This allows you to begin your family with a single buggy and then expand when you have twins. They typically offer more configuration and seating options for both children than other types of double prams too and will have better weight distribution so they are generally easier to maneuver. Pros: Simple to use small and compact. 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 double" refers to two bassinets or two seats that face one another. Tandem prams are typically smaller than side by side double prams and can be more maneuverable through doorways and on public transport. They don't offer the same amount of storage space and are difficult to access when both seats are used particularly if your child is in the front seat.

Some parents who are first-time parents opt for a tandem stroller to ensure the future of their investment, especially when they're planning to have more children who are close to the age of. Our DUO2 pram is a well-known model. It's designed as a single stroller however, it can be transformed into a twin stroller by adding an additional seat. It also converts back to one pram once your older child is no longer able to use it.

Tandem prams are available in a variety of configurations and include the option for an infant to lie in a bassinet of the pram on top while an older child is seated in the seat below. Most can also be transformed into a travel system with the addition of a car capsule placed in the top seat.

For maximum flexibility, a side-by-side double pram lets both kids enjoy the ride together and interact as they go. This can help to avoid the two of them from waking up or fighting over toys, and the fact they're seated near to one another makes it possible to get through doors and other obstacles easily.

A side-by-side is also the perfect choice for grandparents looking 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 cheaper than a tandem stroller, making them ideal for introducing grandparents to babysitting duties.

Single prams

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

Some parents who are first-time parents opt to future-proof their pram by acquiring a double pram option, like our DUO2. This means that you can use the pram set in single mode while you have a single child, and then change it into a tandem double pram after baby number two arrives. This will save you the hassle and expense of buying a separate double stroller.

Tandem or in-line double prams are a bit bigger than side-by-side double prams, yet they are more maneuverable on busy pedestrian paths and in shops. However, they are more difficult to use while jogging and will require greater effort to push when going up or down hills.

Side by side prams are larger than tandem or in-line double prams but are a great option for families with two children who are similar in age. They will be able to see and interact with one another from their seats. They are less maneuverable than tandem strollers and may not fit through standard doors as easily.

Non-convertible side-byside prams can only be used in single mode. You will need to purchase a new pram or a stroller to accommodate your children who are younger. 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 both single and double modes. The biggest drawback is that your child may soon outgrow a side-byside and need to be moved into a toddler stroller seat. This can be costly.
