Guide To Pram Double: The Intermediate Guide In 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. But, preparing your family for this new addition comes with its own set of challenges.

One of these is selecting the right double pram for your needs. This article will explain the options available and also provide tips to help you choose the right one 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 an excellent option. These clever frames, like the Cybex Aton 4 Twin expand the width to accommodate an additional seat. They also offer the option of incorporating a shopping basket, or two carrycots/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 typically offer more configuration and seating options for both children than other styles of double prams, and will have better weight distribution, which means they are generally easier to maneuver. They are easy 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, tandem prams have two bassinets or seats that are positioned one ahead of the other. Tandem prams are generally more compact than double prams which are side by side. They are also more maneuverable through doors and on public transport. However they don't offer the same amount of 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 parents who are new to parenting opt for a tandem pram to future-proof their investment, particularly when they're planning to have more children who are close to the age of. Our DUO2 triple pram is a popular model. It's initially a single stroller, but can be upgraded to a twin stroller simply by adding an additional seat. It also converts back to a single pram when your child's older one outgrows it.

Tandem prams come in a variety of designs with the option of an infant to lie in a bassinet of the pram on top, while an older child sits in the seat below. The majority of tandem prams can be converted to a travel system by adding a car capsule in the top prams seat.

A side-by-side double stroller allows the children to ride together and converse while they ride. This will prevent them from fighting or wake each other up.

A side-by-side is also an ideal option for grandparents who want to get in the fun - they can both push the kids around and help out with shopping, running pram errands or attending events. They're often cheaper than a tandem stroller, making them ideal for introducing grandkids to babysitting duties.

Single prams

A single pram only allows for 1 seat or bassinet/carry cot - it is usually suitable from birth until around. 4 years of age. A majority of single prams allow a toddler board to be connected to the back so that the second child can sit or stand (depending on the type of toddler board) while you push the stroller along.

Some first-time parents choose to future-proof their pram by purchasing a double pram option, like our DUO2. You can use it in a single mode until you have a second child and then change it to a tandem inline double pram when your second baby is born. This will avoid the hassle and expense of buying a separate double stroller.

Tandem or in-line double prams are a bit larger than side by side double prams, but they are easier to maneuver on crowded sidewalks and in stores. They can be difficult to use when jogging, and require more effort to push up and down hills.

Side by side prams are more spacious than tandem or in-line double prams, but they are a good option if you plan to have two children of similar age. They can see and interact with one another from their seats. However, they are not as maneuverable and may not fit through standard doorways as easily as a tandem stroller.

Non-convertible side-byside prams can only be used in single mode. You will need to purchase a different pram double (Graphicube.Jp) or stroller for your children who are younger. They are cheaper and last longer than double strollers with convertibles because they weren't intended to be used in double and single modes. The main downside is that your older child will soon outgrow the side-byside seats and will need to be transferred to a toddler seat, which can be costly.
