10 Meetups On Pram Double You Should Attend

Buying a Convertible Single to Double Stroller

There are few things more exciting than hearing that you're expecting your second child. However the process of preparing your family for this new addition has its own set of challenges.

One of them is deciding on the most suitable double pram to meet your requirements. This article will cover the options available, as well as some tips to help you choose the right pram for your growing family.

Convertible double prams

A convertible single to double stroller is a great option when you're looking for a pram set to expand with your family. These innovative frames such as the Cybex Aton 4 Twin expand widthways to accommodate a second seat. They also offer the option of incorporating a shopping basket, or two car seats/carseats (with upper and lower adapters). This allows you to begin your family with a single buggy and then upgrade when you have twins. They usually have more configurations and seating options for both children than other types of double prams too and will have better weight distribution so they're generally easier to maneuver. Pros: Compact, easy to use and adaptable. Cons: Less storage and less space for both children when compared to other designs.

Tandem (in-line) double prams

The name suggests that tandem best prams come with two seats or pram bassinets which are positioned one over the other. Tandem prams are generally smaller than double prams that are side by side. They can also be easier to maneuver through doorways and in public transport. However they don't offer as much storage space and can be more difficult to access when both seats are in use if your toddler is sitting in the front seat.

Some first-time parents opt for a tandem stroller in order to safeguard their investment in the event that they have children with the same age. A popular example is our DUO2 pram, which is designed as a single buggy and can be converted to a twin stroller (similar website) through the addition of an additional seat. It can also be converted to a single stroller once your older child outgrows the buggy.

Tandem prams come in a variety of configurations and include the option for infants to sleep in a pram bassinet on top, while an older child sits in the seat below. They can also be transformed into a best travel stroller unit by adding the car capsule, which is positioned in the top of the seat.

A side-by-side double stroller lets both children to share a ride and converse as they go. This will help prevent them from wake each other up.

A side-byside is a great option for grandparents who want to be part of the activities. They can carry both children and help with shopping, running errands or attending events. They are usually cheaper than a tandem stroller, so they can be ideal for introducing grandparents to babysitting duties.

Single prams

A single pram is only able to allow for 1 seat or bassinet/carry cot. It is generally suitable from newborn through to approx. four years old. Many single prams also allow a toddler board to be connected to the back so that the second child can stand or sit (depending on the kind of toddler board) while you push the stroller through.

Some first-time parents decide to protect their pram from future damage purchase by buying double options like our DUO2. It can be used in single mode until the time you have a second child and then change it to a tandem inline double pram when your second baby arrives. This will eliminate the hassle and cost of purchasing a separate double stroller.

In-line or tandem double pushchair prams can be a bit larger than side-byside double prams but they are still easier to manoeuvre on busy footpaths and inside shops. However, they can be more difficult to use while running, and require more effort to push when going up or down hills.

They are larger than tandem or in-line double strollers, but they are a great choice for children who are in the same age range. They are able to see each the other and interact from their seats. They are more difficult to maneuver than tandem strollers, and may not fit through standard doors as easily.

Non-convertible side by side prams are not suitable for use in single mode - you must purchase a different pram or stroller for your youngest child. They offer the benefit of being less expensive and will last for longer than convertible double prams, since they aren't designed to be used in single and double modes. The biggest drawback is that your child will quickly outgrow the side-by-side seat and will require to be transferred to a toddler's seat which can be expensive.
