20 Tips To Help You Be More Successful At 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. The preparation for your family's new addition can be challenging.

Selecting the best double pram is among the most important things to consider. This article will review the options available and offer some tips on how to select the best pram for your growing family.

Convertible double prams

If you're looking for a baby stroller that can adapt to your family and your family, a convertible single double pram set is a great option. These innovative frames, such as the Cybex Aton 4 Twin, can be expanded in width to accommodate a second seat and typically come with the option of an additional shopping basket, or two car seats or carrycots (with upper adapters and lower ones available) so that you can begin your family with just one buggy, and later upgrade to twins without having to buy a new one again. They usually offer more configuration and seating options for both children than other types of double prams, and have better weight distribution, which means they're generally easier to maneuver. Pros: Compact, simple to use, and versatile. Cons: Less storage space and less space for both children and parents compared to some other designs.

Tandem (in-line) double prams

As the name suggests the term "twin pram" refers to two bassinets or two seats that face each other. Tandem prams are typically smaller than side by side double prams and are easier to manoeuvre 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 especially when your child is in the front seat.

Many first-time parents opt for a tandem stroller to protect their investment should they have more children of the same age. One of the most popular examples is our DUO2 pram that is initially designed as a single buggy, but can be upgraded to a twin pushchair stroller by the addition of the second seat. It also converts back into one pram once your child's older one outgrows it.

Tandem prams are available in a variety of configurations, including the option for an infant to lie in a bassinet for the pram on top while an older child sits in the seat below. Most tandem prams can be converted to an a travel system by putting car capsules to the top seat.

A side-by-side double stroller allows the children to ride together and converse while they ride. This can prevent the two of them from waking up or fighting over toys, while the fact they're seated close to one another makes it possible to get through doors and other obstacles with ease.

A side-byside is also an ideal option for grandparents who want to join in the fun. They can push both kids around and help out with shopping, running errands, or attending events. They're usually cheaper than tandem prams, which makes them an excellent choice for grandparents who want to help with babysitting.

Single prams

A single pram can only allow one seat or bassinet/carry cot - it is usually suitable from birth until around. 4 years of age. A lot of single prams allow a toddler's 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 parents who are first-time parents opt to future-proof the pram newborn they purchase by buying a double option, such as our DUO2. This means that you can use the pram in single mode while you have a single child, and then change it into a tandem double pram when baby number two arrives. This will save you the hassle and expense of purchasing a separate double stroller.

Tandem or in-line double prams are a bit larger than side by side double prams but are still more maneuverable on pedestrian paths and in shops. They can be harder to use when jogging, and require more effort to push them up and down hills.

Side by side prams are much more spacious than tandem or in-line double prams, but they are a good option if you plan to have two children who are similar in age. The children can see and interact with each other from their seats. However, they are less maneuverable and could not pass through standard doorways as easily as tandem strollers.

Non-convertible side-by-side prams are not usable in single mode. You will need to purchase another pram or stroller for your younger child. However, they have the advantage of being a cheaper option and will last for longer than convertible double prams as they are not built to be used in single and double modes. The main drawback is that your child will eventually outgrow the side-by-side seat and will need to be moved to a toddler's seat which can be expensive.
