Guide To Pram Double: The Intermediate Guide To Pram Double

Buying a Convertible Single to Double Stroller

The news that you're expecting your second child is among the most exciting things you can hear. However, preparing your family for this new addition comes with its own set of obstacles.

The choice of the best double stroller is among the most important things to consider. This article will review the options available and provide some guidelines on how to choose the right one for your growing family.

Convertible double prams

If you're looking for a pram that can adapt to your family, a convertible single double pram is a great option. These clever frames, like the Cybex Aton 4 Twin expand in width to accommodate a second seat. They also offer the option of incorporating a shopping basket, or two carrycots/carseats (with upper and lower adapters). This lets you to begin your family with a single buggy and then upgrade when you have twins. Double prams have more seating and configuration options for both children compared to other styles. They also offer better weight distribution making them more maneuverable. Pros: Easy to use small and compact stroller. Cons: It takes up less space and storage for both children and parents when compared to other designs.

Tandem (in-line) double prams

The name suggests that tandem prams come with two bassinets or seats which are positioned one ahead of the other. Tandem prams are generally narrower than side by side double prams and can be more maneuverable through doors and on public transport. However they don't offer enough storage space, and may be more difficult to access when both seats are in use when your child is in the front seat.

Some first-time parents choose a tandem Pram Double to secure their investment, especially when they're planning to have more children that are similar in age. A popular model is our DUO2 pram, which is designed as a single buggy, but can be converted to a twin stroller by the addition of a second seat. It is also possible to convert it to a single stroller if your child reaches the age of buggy.

Tandem prams come in a range of configurations, including the option for infants to be placed in a bassinet for the pram on top, while an older child sits in the seat below. Most can also be converted into a travel stroller system with the addition of a car capsule placed in the top of the seat.

For the ultimate flexibility, a double side-by-side pram lets both kids enjoy the ride together and interact as they go. This will help avoid getting up or fighting over toys, and the fact they're seated close to one another makes it possible to get through doors and other obstacles easily.

A side-byside is also an ideal option for grandparents looking to join in on the fun - they can carry both children around and assist with shopping, running errands and attending events. They are often cheaper than tandem prams, making them a great choice for grandparents to help with babysitting.

Single prams

A single pram store near me can only allow one seat or a bassinet/carry cot. It is typically suitable from newborn through to approx. Four years old. Many single prams permit a toddler board (depending on the type of toddler board you choose) to be tacked to the back, so that a child can stand, or sit while you push the stroller.

Some parents who are new to the family decide to protect their pram from future damage purchase by purchasing double options such as our DUO2. This means that you can use the pram in a single mode while you have a single child, and then change it into a tandem double pram once bub number two arrives. This saves you the cost and stress of purchasing a separate double pram.

Tandem or in-line double prams are wider than side by side double prams, yet they are easier to maneuver on crowded sidewalks and in stores. However, they can be more difficult to use while running and will require more effort to push when going up or down hills.

Side by side prams are wider than in-line or tandem double prams but are a good choice for families with 2 children close in age - the children will be able to see and interact with each other from their seats. They are more difficult to maneuver than tandem strollers and may not be able to pass through doors as easily.

Non-convertible side by side prams are not usable in single mode - you will have to buy a new pram or stroller for your younger child. They are less expensive and last longer than double strollers that convert because they weren't designed to be used both in double and single mode. The biggest drawback is that your older child will quickly outgrow the side-byside seats and will require to be transferred to a toddler seat which can be expensive.
