20 Trailblazers Setting The Standard In Pram Double

Buying a Convertible Single to Double Stroller

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

Selecting the best double pram is among them. This article will review the various options available and offer some guidelines on how to select the ideal pram for you and your growing family.

Convertible double prams

A convertible single-to-double stroller is an excellent choice if you want a folding pram to grow with your family. These clever frames, like the Cybex Aton 4 Twin, can be extended in width to accommodate a second seat. They usually come with the option for an additional shopping basket or even two car seats/car carrycots (with upper adapters and lower adapters available) so that you can start your family with one buggy and then upgrade to twins without having to buy a new one once more. Double prams have more seating and configuration options for both children when compared to other models. They also have a better weight distribution making them more maneuverable. Pros: Easy to use small and compact travel pram. Cons: Less storage space and less space for both children and parents compared to some other designs.

Tandem (in-line) double prams

Like the name suggests the term "twin pram (check out this site)" refers to two seats or bassinets that face each other. Tandem prams are generally narrower than side-by-side double prams and can be easier to maneuver through doorways and on public transport. They do not have 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 children with the same age. A popular model is our DUO2 pram, which is designed as a single stroller and can be converted to a twin stroller through the addition of a second seat. It is also able to be converted to a single stroller when your older child outgrows the buggy.

Tandem prams can be found in many configurations. For instance the infant can be put in a bassinet on the top of the pram while an older child sits on the seat below. They can also be converted into a compact travel stroller system by adding an automobile capsule that is placed on the top of the seat.

A double stroller that is side-by-side allows both children to share a ride and converse as they go. This will prevent them from getting up.

A side-by-side is also an ideal option for grandparents who want to get in the fun. They can both push the kids around and assist with shopping, running errands, or attending events. They're usually cheaper than tandem prams, which makes them an excellent choice for grandparents to help with babysitting.

Single prams

A single pram can only allow one seat or bassinet/carry cot. It is typically suitable from newborn through to approx. 4 years old. Many single prams permit toddler boards (depending on the type of toddler board you pick) to be attached at the back so that a child can stand, or sit, while you push the stroller.

Some first-time parents choose to future-proof their pram by purchasing a double pram option, like our DUO2. You can use it in single mode until the time you have a second child and then change it to a tandem inline double pram when the second baby pram arrives. This can save you the expense and stress of purchasing an additional double pram.

In-line or tandem double prams may be a bit wider than side-by-side double prams however they are still a lot easier to manoeuvre on busy footpaths and inside shops. They are more difficult to use while jogging and require more effort to push up or down hills.

Side by side prams are more spacious than tandem or in-line double prams but are a good choice for families with 2 children close in age - the children can see and interact with each other 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 cannot be used in single mode. You'll need to purchase a different pram or a stroller to accommodate your children who are younger. They offer the benefit 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 main disadvantage is that your older child may quickly outgrow a side-by-side and require to be shifted into a toddler's chair. This could be costly.
