How To Get Better Results With Your Pram Double

Buying a Convertible Single to Double Stroller

There are few things more exciting than finding out that you're expecting your second child. Preparing your family for the new baby can be a challenge.

One of them is deciding on the best double pram (just click for source) for your requirements. This article will review the options available and offer some guidelines on how you can select the ideal pram for your growing family.

Convertible double prams

If you're looking for a baby stroller that can adapt to your family, a convertible single double pram is a great alternative. 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 car seats/carseats (with upper and lower adapters). This allows you to start your family out with a single buggy, and then expand when you have twins. They usually have more configurations and seating options for both children than other types of double prams and will offer better weight distribution, so they are generally easier to maneuver. Pros: Simple to use, compact and versatile. Cons: There is less space and storage for both children as compared to other designs.

Tandem (in-line) double prams

As the name suggests tandem prams have two bassinets or seats that face one another. They are generally smaller than side by side double prams and are more maneuverable through doors and on public transport. However they don't have enough storage space, and may be more difficult to access when both seats are used if your toddler is sitting in the front seat.

Some parents who are first-time parents opt for a tandem pram to future-proof their investment, particularly when they're planning to have more children close in age. One of the most popular examples is our DUO2 pram, which is designed as a single buggy, but can be upgraded to a twin stroller with the addition of an additional seat. It can also be converted back to one pram uk once your elder child outgrows it.

Tandem prams are available in many configurations. For instance an infant can be put in a bassinet on the top of the pram while an older child is seated on the seat below. They can also be converted into a travel system with the addition of the car capsule, which is positioned in the top of the seat.

For maximum flexibility, a side-byside double pram lets both kids take a ride together and play as they go. This will help avoid them waking each other 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 a great choice for grandparents who want to participate in the activities. They can push both children and help with shopping, running errands or attending events. They are often cheaper than tandem prams, making them an excellent choice for grandparents to assist with babysitting.

Single prams

A single childs pram can only allow for 1 seat or bassinet/carry cot. It is usually suitable from birth through to approx. Four years old. Many single prams permit toddler boards (depending on the kind of toddler board you pick) to be tacked to the back so that another child can stand, or sit, while you push the stroller.

Some parents who are first-time parents opt to future-proof their pram by purchasing a double pram option, such as our DUO2. This means that you will use the pram in a single mode while you have a single child and then convert it into a tandem double pram when baby number two is born. This will save you the cost and stress of purchasing a separate double pram.

Tandem or in-line double prams are 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 up and down hills.

Side by side prams are much wider than in-line or tandem double prams, but they are a great option for families with two children who are similar in age - the children will be able to see and interact with each other from their seats. However, they are less maneuverable and could not pass through doors as easily as a tandem stroller.

Side-by-side prams that are not convertible cannot be used in single mode. You will need to buy another pram or a stroller to accommodate your children who are younger. However, 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 downside is that your older child will eventually outgrow the side-byside seat and will have to be transferred to a toddler's chair, which can be costly.
