20 Fun Details About 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 to hear. But getting your family ready for this new addition comes with its own set of challenges.

The choice of the best double stroller is among the most important things to consider. This article will go over the options available and provide some suggestions on how to choose 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 bags that can grow with your family. These clever frames, such as the Cybex Aton 4 pushchair twin, expand widthways to accommodate a second child and will typically have the option for an additional shopping basket, or two car seats or carrycots (with upper adapters and lower adapters readily available) so that you can start your family with one buggy and then upgrade to twins without having to buy a new one again. They usually offer more configuration and seating options for children and adults than other models of double prams too and will have better weight distribution, which means they're often easier to manoeuvre. Pros: Simple to use, compact and versatile. 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 come with two bassinets or seats that are positioned one over the other. Tandem prams are generally narrower than double prams that are side by side. They can also be more maneuverable through doorways and in public transport. However, they don't have the same amount of storage space and are more difficult to access when both seats are in use in the case of a toddler who is in the front seat.

Some first-time parents opt for a tandem stroller in order to safeguard their investment in case they have more children with the same age. A popular model is our DUO2 pram that is initially designed as a single buggy, but can be converted to a twin stroller with the addition of the second seat. It is also possible to convert it back to a single stroller once your child is older and outgrows the buggy.

Tandem prams come in a variety of designs. For instance an infant can be placed in a bassinet on the top of the pram, while an older child is seated on the seat below. Many can be converted into a travel system by adding the car capsule, which is positioned in the top seat.

A double stroller that is side-by-side allows both children to share a ride and talk as they go. This will help avoid getting up or fighting over toys, and the fact that they're sitting next to each other makes it possible to get through doors and other obstacles easily.

A side-byside is also the ideal choice for grandparents looking to join in on the fun - they can both push the kids around, and help with shopping, running errands or attending events. They are usually cheaper than a tandem stroller, so they can be ideal for introducing grandparents to babysitting duties.

Single prams

A single pram can only allow one seat or bassinet/carry cot - it is generally suitable from newborn until around. 4 years old. A lot of single prams allow a toddler's board to be attached to the back of the stroller, so that a second child can stand or sit (depending on the kind of toddler board) while you push the stroller along.

Some first-time parents decide to secure their pram for the future purchase by purchasing double options, such as our DUO2. You can use it in single mode until you have your second child, and then convert it to a tandem inline double pram when your second baby pram is born. This will eliminate the hassle and expense of purchasing an additional double stroller.

In-line or tandem double prams can be a bit wider than side-by-side double prams however, they are still much more maneuverable on busy footpaths and inside shops. However, they are more difficult to use when running, and require more effort to push when going up or down hills.

Side by side prams are wider than in-line or tandem double prams but are a good option if you plan to have two children who are similar in age. They will be able to view 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-side prams cannot be used in single mode. You'll need to purchase a different pram or stroller for your younger children. They are cheaper and last longer than double strollers that convert since they were not designed to be used both in double and single mode. The main downside is that your older child will eventually outgrow the side-byside seat and will need to be moved to a toddler's seat which could be costly.
