20 Trailblazers Setting The Standard In Pram Double

Buying a Convertible Single to Double Stroller

There are few things more exciting than the news that you're expecting your second child. The preparation for your family's new addition can be challenging.

Selecting the best double pram is one of the most important things to consider. This article will review the options available and provide some tips on how to choose the best pram for your growing family.

Convertible double prams

If you're looking for a baby stroller (hyperlink) that can grow with your family, a convertible single to double pram is a great alternative. These clever frames like the Cybex Aton 4 Twin expand widthways to accommodate an additional seat. They also offer the possibility of adding a grocery basket, or two pushchair car seat seats/carseats (with upper and lower adapters). This enables you to start your family out 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 types of. They also have a more evenly distributed weight making them more maneuverable. Pros: Compact, simple to use and adaptable. Cons: Less storage space and less space for both children when compared to some other designs.

Tandem (in-line) double prams

Like the name suggests tandem prams have two bassinets or seats that face one another. Tandem prams are generally narrower than side-by-side double prams and can be more maneuverable through doorways and on public transport. However they don't have enough storage space, and are more difficult to access when both seats are being used in the case of a toddler who is in the front seat.

Some first-time parents choose a tandem pram to future-proof their investment, particularly if they're planning on more children who are close to the age of. One of the most popular examples is our DUO2 pram, which is designed as a single buggy, but can be converted to a twin stroller through the addition of an additional seat. It can also be converted to a single stroller once your child reaches the age of buggy.

Tandem prams can be found in many configurations. For instance an infant can be placed in a bassinet on the top of the pram while an older child sits on the seat below. Most tandem prams can be converted to an a travel stroller system by putting car capsules to the top seat.

A side-by-side double stroller allows both children to share a ride and converse as they go. This will stop them from fighting or wake each other up.

A side-byside is the ideal option for grandparents looking to be part of the activities. They can be used to push both children around and help with shopping, running pushchair errands or even attending events. They are usually less expensive than a tandem pram which makes them an excellent way to introduce grandparents to babysitting duties.

Single prams

A single pram only allows one seat or bassinet/carry-cot. It is usually suitable from birth up to around. 4 years of age. A lot of single prams allow a toddler board to be attached to the back, so that another child can sit or stand (depending on the kind of toddler board) while you push the stroller along.

Some parents who are first-time parents opt to ensure their pram is future-proofed by acquiring a double pram option, like our DUO2. You can use it in a single mode until you have your second child, and then change it into a tandem double pram once the second baby arrives. This will save you the cost and burden of having to purchase an additional double pram.

Tandem or in-line double prams are larger than side by side double prams, yet they are more maneuverable on footpaths and in shops. They can be harder to use while jogging and require more effort to push up or down hills.

Side by side prams are larger than tandem or in-line double prams, but they are a great option for families with two children of similar 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 might not pass through standard doors as easily.

Non-convertible side by sides are not usable in single mode - you will have to buy a new pram or stroller for your smaller child. However, they have the advantage of being less expensive and last longer than double prams that convert, since they aren't designed to be used in both single and double modes. The main drawback is that your older child will quickly outgrow the side-byside seats and will have to be moved to a toddler seat which could be costly.
