The news that you're expecting your second child is among the most exciting things to hear. However the process of preparing your family for the arrival of a new member has its own set of obstacles.

One of them is deciding on the right double pram for your requirements. This article will review the options available and provide some guidelines on how you can select the best pram for your growing family.

Convertible double pram and pushchair prams

If you're looking to purchase a stroller that can grow with your family and your family, a convertible single double pram is an excellent option. These innovative frames, such as the Cybex Aton 4 Twin, can be extended in width to accommodate a second seat. They will typically have the option of adding an additional shopping basket or two car seats/car carrycots (with upper adapters and lower adapters readily available) to allow you to begin your family with just one buggy, and later upgrade to twins without having to buy a new one again. They typically offer more configuration and seating options for both children than other types of double prams and will offer better weight distribution, so they're generally easier to maneuver. They are compact, easy to use and adaptable. Cons: Less storage and less space for both children and parents compared to some other designs.

Tandem (in-line) double prams

As the name implies, tandem prams have two seats or pram bassinets that are aligned one ahead of the other. Tandem prams are generally narrower than double prams that are side by side. They are also easier to maneuver through doorways and in public transport. They don't offer as much storage and can be difficult to access when both seats are in use particularly when your child is in the front seat.

Some first-time parents opt for a tandem stroller to protect their investment in the event that they have more children of the same age. Our DUO2 pram is a popular model. It's designed as a single buggy, but can be upgraded to a twin stroller by adding an additional seat. It is also possible to convert it to a single stroller when your child is older and outgrows the buggy.

Tandem prams can be found in a variety of designs. For instance, an infant can be placed in a bassinet that is located at the top of the pram, while an older child sits on the seat below. The majority of tandem prams can be made travel systems by adding car capsules to the top prams seat.

For maximum flexibility, a double side-by-side pram allows both kids to enjoy the ride together and play as they go. This will help avoid getting up or fighting over toys, while the fact that they're sitting next to each other means you can easily get through doors and other obstacles with ease.

A side-byside is the ideal choice for grandparents who want to participate in the enjoyable. They can be used to push both children and help with shopping, running errands or even attending events. They are often cheaper than tandem prams, making them an excellent choice for grandparents to assist with babysitting.

Single prams

A single pram is only able to allow one seat or bassinet/carry cot. It is typically suitable from newborn until around. four years old. A lot of single prams allow toddler boards (depending on the type of toddler board you select) to be attached to the back so that another child can stand, or sit, while you push the stroller.

Some first-time parents choose to ensure their pram double is future-proofed by purchasing a double-pram option, like our DUO2. This means that you will use the pram double in a single mode while you have one child, and then switch it into a tandem in-line double pram when baby number two arrives. This will save you the cost and hassle of having to purchase a separate double pram.

Tandem or in-line double prams are a bit wider than side by side double prams, but they are more maneuverable on busy pedestrian paths and in shops. They can be harder to use while jogging and require more effort to push up and down hills.

They are wider than tandem or in-line double strollers However, they are a great choice for children who are close in age. Children can see each the other and interact from their seats. They are more difficult to maneuver than tandem strollers and might not fit through standard 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 youngest child. However, they have the advantage of being a cheaper option and last longer than convertible double prams as they are not built to be used in single and double modes. The biggest drawback is that your older child could soon outgrow a side-byside and require a change to a toddler's seat. This can be expensive.
