Pram Double: A Simple Definition

Buying a Convertible Single to Double Stroller

The news that you're expecting your second child is one of the most exciting things to hear. But, preparing your family for the arrival of this new baby is not without its own set of obstacles.

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

Convertible double prams

A convertible single-to-double stroller is a great option for those who want a stroller to grow pushchair with car seat your family. These clever frames, like the Cybex Aton 4 Twin, can be expanded in width to accommodate a second seat and usually come with the option for an additional shopping basket or even two car seats or carrycots (with upper adapters and lower ones available) so that you can start your family with one buggy, and later upgrade to twins without the need to buy a new one and again. They usually offer more configuration and seating options for both children than other styles of double prams, and will have better weight distribution, which means they're generally easier to maneuver. Pros: Compact, easy to use, and versatile. Cons: Less storage and less space for both children and parents compared to other designs.

Tandem (in-line) double prams

As the name implies tandem prams have two bassinets or seats that face one another. Tandem prams are generally more compact than double prams which are side by side. They can also be more maneuverable through doors and public transport. They do not have the same amount of storage space and are difficult to reach when both seats are in use, especially if your child is sitting in the front.

Some parents who are first-time parents choose tandem strollers to protect their investment in the event that they have children with the same age. Our DUO2 pram is a well-known example. It's designed as a single buggy however, it can be transformed to a twin foldable stroller by adding the second seat. It can also be converted back to a single pram when your older child is no longer able to use it.

Tandem prams are available in many configurations. For example an infant can be placed 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.

A side-by-side double stroller allows both children to ride together and talk as they go. This can prevent getting up or fighting over toys, while the fact that they're sitting next to each other makes it possible to get through doors and other obstacles with ease.

A side-by-side is also an ideal option for grandparents who want to join in the fun - they can both push the kids around, and help with shopping, running errands, or attending events. They're usually cheaper than tandem prams, making them a great option for grandparents who want to help with babysitting.

Single prams

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

Some first-time parents decide to protect their pram from future damage purchase by purchasing a double option, such as our DUO2. This means that you can use the pram in single mode while you have one child, and then change it into a tandem in-line double pram when baby stroller number two arrives. This will avoid the hassle and expense of buying an additional double stroller.

In-line or tandem double prams might be a little wider than side-by-side double prams however they are still a lot more maneuverable on busy pedestrian paths and inside shops. They are more difficult to use while jogging, and require more effort to push up or down hills.

They are a bit larger than tandem or in-line double strollers, but they are a great choice for children who are close in age. They can view each one another and interact from their seats. However, they are not as mobile and might not be able to fit through standard doorways as easily as tandem strollers.

Non-convertible side-byside prams can only be used in single mode. You'll have to purchase a new pram or stroller for your children's younger ones. They are less expensive and lightweight stroller last longer than convertible double strollers since they were not designed to be used both in double and single mode. The biggest drawback is that your older child may rapidly outgrow the side-by-side and require to be shifted into a toddler seat. This can be expensive.
