Guide To Pram Double: The Intermediate Guide On Pram Double

Buying a Convertible Single to Double Stroller

The news that you're expecting your second child is one of the most exciting things you can hear. But the process of preparing your family for the arrival of this new baby has its own set of obstacles.

The choice of the best double stroller is one of them. This article will review the various options available and offer some guidelines on how to select the right one for you and your growing family.

Convertible double prams

A convertible single-to-double stroller is a great option if you want a pram that can grow with your family. These clever frames like the Cybex Aton 4 Twin expand in width to accommodate a second seat. They also come with 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 upgrade when you have twins. They usually offer more configuration and seating options for children and adults than other models of double prams, and have better weight distribution, which means they are generally easier to maneuver. Pros: compact stroller, easy to use, and versatile. Cons: Less space and storage space for both children as when compared to other designs.

Tandem (in-line) double prams

Like the name suggests tandem prams have two bassinets or seats that face one another. Tandem prams tend to be smaller than double pram pushchair prams that are side-by-side. They can also be more maneuverable through doors and public transport. They don't have as much storage and are difficult to reach when both seats are being used particularly when your child is in the front seat.

Many first-time parents opt for a tandem stroller in order to safeguard their investment in case they have more children of the same age. One of the most popular examples is our DUO2 pram that is initially designed as a single buggy, but can be upgraded to a twin stroller with the addition of an additional seat. It also converts back into an individual stroller when your older child is no longer able to use it.

Tandem prams come in a variety of configurations and include the option for an infant to lie in a bassinet for the pram on top, while an older child is seated in the seat below. Most tandem prams are able to be converted into travel systems by adding a car capsule in the top seat.

A side-by-side double stroller lets the children to ride together and converse as they go. This will help avoid them waking each other up or fighting over toys, and the fact they're seated near to one another allows you to easily go through doors and other obstacles with ease.

A side-byside is the ideal option for grandparents looking to get involved in the activities. They can push both children and help with shopping, running errands, or attending events. They're usually cheaper than a tandem pram, so they can be a great way to introduce grandkids to babysitting duties.

Single prams

A single pushchair pram only allows one seat or bassinet/carry cot. It is generally suitable from newborn until around. 4 years old. Many single prams also allow a toddler board to be attached to the back of the stroller, so that another child can sit or stand (depending on the kind of toddler board) while you push the stroller through.

Some first-time parents decide to secure their pram for the future purchase by purchasing double options like our DUO2. This means you'll use the Pram Double in a single mode when you have just one child, and then change it into a tandem in-line double pram after baby number two arrives. This will save you the cost and stress of purchasing an additional double pram.

In-line or tandem double prams might be a bit wider than side-by-side double prams however they are still a lot more maneuverable on busy pedestrian paths and inside shops. However, they can be more difficult to use while jogging and will require greater effort to push when you're climbing or descending hills.

They are larger than tandem or in-line double prams, but they are a great option for children who are in the same age range. The children can view each one another and interact from their seats. However, they are not as maneuverable and could not pass through standard doorways as easily as tandem strollers.

Non-convertible side-by-side prams cannot be used in single mode. You will need to purchase a new pram or a stroller for your younger children. They offer the benefit of being a cheaper option and last longer than convertible double prams because they aren't built to be used in single and double modes. The main downside is that your child will quickly outgrow the side-byside seat and will have to be moved to a toddler seat, which can be costly.
