Guide To Pram Double: The Intermediate Guide Towards 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. Making preparations for your family's new addition can be challenging.
One of them is choosing the best double pram for your needs. This article will discuss the options available and offer some guidelines on how you can select the best pram for you and your growing family.
Convertible double prams
If you're looking for a baby stroller that can grow with your family and your family, a convertible single double pram is an excellent alternative. These clever frames, like the Cybex Aton 4 Twin expand the width 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 lets you to start your family out with a single buggy and then expand when you have twins. Double prams have more seating and configuration options for both children as compared to other styles. They also offer more evenly distributed weight which makes them more maneuverable. They are easy to use small and compact. Cons: There is less space and storage space for both children in comparison to other designs.
Tandem (3 in one pushchair-line) double prams
As the name implies, tandem prams come with two bassinets or seats for prams that are positioned one over the other. Tandem prams are generally narrower than side by side double prams, and are easier to manoeuvre through doorways and on public transport. However they don't have the same amount of storage space and can be more difficult to access when both seats are in use when your child is in the front seat.
Some parents who are first-time parents choose a tandem stroller to protect their investment in the event that they have children of the same age. Our DUO2 pram is a well-known example. It's initially a single buggy, but can be upgraded to a twin stroller simply by adding an additional seat. It can also be converted to a single stroller if your child is older and outgrows the buggy.
Tandem prams are available in a variety of designs, 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. They can also be transformed into a travel unit with the addition of a car capsule placed in the top of the seat.
A double stroller that is side-by-side allows both children to share a ride and converse while they ride. This will help avoid them waking each other up or fighting over toys, and the fact that they're sitting near to one another means you can easily get through doors and other obstacles with ease.
A side-byside is a great choice for grandparents who want to get involved in the enjoyable. They can be used to push both children around and assist with shopping, running pram errands, or attending events. They're usually cheaper than a tandem pram, so they can be ideal for introducing grandchildren to babysitting.
Single prams
A single pram only allows one seat or bassinet/carry cot - it is typically suitable from newborn until around. Four years old. Many single prams also allow a toddler stroller board to be attached to the back, so that a second child can stand or sit (depending on the type of toddler board) while you push the stroller forward.
Some first-time parents decide to future-proof their pram by acquiring a double pram option, such as our DUO2. This means that you can use the Pram double in single mode when you have just one child and then convert it into a tandem in-line double pram when baby number two arrives. This will eliminate the hassle and cost 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. However, they are more difficult to use while running and will require more effort to push when you're climbing or descending hills.
Side by side prams are larger than tandem or in-line double prams. They are a great option when you are planning to have two children who are similar in age. The children will be able to see and interact with one another from their seats. However, they are less mobile and might not be able to fit through doors as easily as a tandem stroller.
Non-convertible side-by-side prams cannot be used in single mode. You'll have to buy another pram or a stroller to accommodate your younger children. They offer the benefit of being less expensive and will last for longer than convertible double prams, because they aren't built to be used in single and double modes. The main drawback is that your child may rapidly outgrow the side-by-side and require to be shifted into a toddler seat. This can be expensive.
